Abstract :
The short term influence of waterborne cadmium (Cd+2) on serum parameters related to bone metabolism including Calcium (Ca), Phosphorus (P) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of Common Carp fish (Cyprinus Crarpio L.) were studied. Fish were treated with varying concentration of Cd+2(0.22, 1.1 and 2.2 mg L-1) with three replications for 14 consequent days. At the end of the experiment, three random fishes were kept from each aquarium. After that the fishes were anesthetized, then blood samples were withdrawn and sera were prepared. The results obtained showed that serum P and ALP concentration were elevated by increasing of Cd+2 doses; whereas the serum Ca levels was decreased significantly (p <0.05) by 27.7%, 36.8%, 98.9% in comparison to Control treatment. The role of Cd+2 on disturbances on serum parameters related to bone metabolism in this manuscript also discussed.
