Abstract
In this study 24,48 and 96-h exposure of male mosquito fish Gambusia holbrooki to cadmium chloride (CdCl2.H20) was accomplished to determine the cadmium lethal concentration 50 (LC50) in mosquito fish G. holbrooki, The data obtained were statistically evaluated by the use of EPA computer program based on Finney’s Probit Analysis Method and a (24,48 and 96h) LC50 values for Gambusia holbrooki were found to be(37.29 , 42.733 and 50.178) mg/l respectively .
