López Greco, Luis A. Romano and Enrique M. Rodríguez (2000) Effects of cadmium on somatic and gonadal growth of juvenile females of the estuarine crab Chasmagnathus granulata (Brachyura: Grapsidae). Zoological Studies 39(4): 344-350. Juvenile female crabs of Chasmagnathus granulata (Decapoda: Brachyura) were exposed to 0.1 and 0.5 mg/l of cadmium for at least 50 d before and 15 d after molting. The gonads were dissected and fixed for histopathological studies, while the carapaces were preserved to measure calcium content. A cadmium concentration of 0.5 mg/l was lethal for juvenile crabs. The few surviving crabs at this concentration were unable to molt. Although most crabs exposed to 0.1 mg/l of cadmium survived and molted, they presented a significantly higher incidence of pathologies in the ovaries than did control crabs. These pathologies were hypertrophy and cariorhexis in primary oocytes, as well as reactional atresia in secondary oocytes. Although no significant difference in the proportion of crabs with mature ovaries after molting was noted between the control and cadmium-exposed animals, a trend towards slower maturity was noticed due to the effect of cadmium. 2000 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_10215506_v39_n4_p344_Kogan http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_10215506_v39_n4_p344_Kogan |
