N2  - In static acute toxicity tests on the crab P. gaimardii the cadmium chloride concentrations fatal to 50% of the test animals over 96 h were determined for temperatures of 5 and 19ºC and salinities of 8.6,17.5,26.3 and 34.6&#8240;. The LC50 values ranged from 15.7 to 101.9 mg Cd2+/1. The mortality was greater at the higher temperature but at both temperatures a decrease in salinity caused an increase in the lethality of cadmium for the crabs.
