Abstract
Experimental cadmium poisoning in the fishes has been investigated and a variety of hematological changes have been observed. Studies on mammals have also revealed that Cd interferes with basic cellular processes and the metal has been shown to cause chromatin condensation and emptying of interchromatin spaces in cultured hepatocytes. The present work illustrates the effect of chronic Cd poisoning on the erythrocytes of a freshwater fish, Puntius conchonius with reference to chromatin condensation.
