Abstract 1. Cadmium induced metallothionein (MT) in crayfish hepatopancreas was measured by silver-saturation method. 2. An increase in MT content was recorded in crayfish hepatopancreas after 12 hr of exposure to 10 mg Cd/l. 3. There was found to be a linear relationship between MT concentrations in hepatopancreas and cadmium concentration in the water. 4. MT levels in hepatopancreas of 20 mg Cd/l exposed crayfish were 7-fold higher than those in control animals.
