Abstract
The goldfish (Carassius auratus gibelio Bloch.) were exposed to cadmiu m in the concentration of 20 mg Cd/l water under aquarium conditions f or 1, 4, 7 and 15 days. After exposure to cadmium, the activities of s uperoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were significantly decrea sed. At the same time, the liver ascorbic acid (AsA) content was incre ased.
