Heavy metals, especially cadmium in aqueous environments, are accumulated in aquatic plants and animals. There are many reports which refer to the toxicity and accumulation of heavy metals in aquatic organisms. Experiments on the elimination in fish in which heavy metals have accumulated, and have led to the postulate that the protein of the fish combine with metals relatively loosely. Accordingly, the present experiment studied the effects of short periods of fresh-water and EDTA treatment in removing heavy metals from Cd-contaminated fish.
