This randomized trial reveals cadmium's impact on growth and mortality in larval zooplankton, indicating ecological risks.

This work examines how cadmium affects the early development of Artemia salina nauplii, focusing on toxicity and ecological impacts.
Cadmium concentrations tested: 15 µg/L, 150 µg/L, 1500 µg/L.
Oxidative stress assessed by hydroperoxides, carbonyl groups, ROS, and total antioxidant capacity.
Toxicity endpoints included mortality, growth rates, and morphological alterations.
Significant dose-independent cadmium uptake by nauplii was observed.
Dose-dependent oxidative stress significantly affected growth and morphology.
Modest teratogenic effects were noted in eye pigmentation and organisation.

Motta et al. (2026) studied this question.
