Abstract
Experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of long term sub-lethal cadmium exposure on survival, growth and metabolic rate of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus for 6 weeks. Survival rate of the flounder was significantly affected above $980{\mu}g/L$. Growth rates of the flounder exposed to ${\geq}210\;{\mu}g/L$ of cadmium concentration were significantly decreased than that exposed to normal condition, Metabolic rate in the cadmium concentration ${\geq}210\;{\mu}g/L$ was significantly reduced with increasing cadmium concentration than that in normal condition. This study revealed that high cadmium concentration $$({\geq}210\;{\mu}g/L$$ reduced growth and metabolic rate of the juvenile flounder suggesting potential influence on the natural mortality of olive flounder in the coastal areas.
