Abstract
A shrimp-like crustacean of the coastal zooplankton in the north-weste rn Mediterranean Sea, the mysid Siriella armata, offers a test organis m whose life cycle is entirely controllable under laboratory condition s. The effects of the heavy metal cadmium were studied on adults and j uveniles cultured in the laboratory including acute toxicity, bioaccum ulation and effects on growth, ingestion and moult cycle.
