✦ Synopsis

The freshwater amphipod Gammaruspulex was sampled from several sites in Northumberland, England and analysed for total body zinc and cadmium concentrations.

The toxicity of cadmium to animals from the different sites was determined and a positive relationship was found between the initial total body zinc concentration and the ability to survive in an artificial medium containing 0.5 mg 1-' cadmium as cadmium sulphate.

Exposure in the laboratory to a low concentration of zinc (0.01 mg 1-') as zinc sulphate for two weeks resulted in a decreased susceptibility to cadmium poisoning.
