MATERIALS AND METHODSFifteen immature carp, Cyprinus carpio, with an average body weight of 57.2±6.3 g (mean±SD) were used. The fish were separated into three groups of five fish and each group was maintained in a 50 L aerated tank with a charcoal filter at a temperature of 25 C. Prior to the experiment, all fish were acclimated under these conditions for 30 days. The fish were fed with freeze-dried pellets at a rate of 1% body weight per day. The control group, the low-dose group and the high-dose group were given pellets containing 0, 250, and 2500 µg/g of cadmium in the form of cadmium chloride (CdCl2. 2½H2O), respectively, according to Koyama and Itazawa (1977a). These levels have been shown to cause tissue alterations but are below the lethal dose for fish. Half of the aquarium water was replaced with fresh water every other day. The concentration of cadmium in the tanks was kept at less than 0.1 µ g/ml. At the beginning of this study, a scale at a fixed position, behind the head and above the lateral line on the left side of the fish body, was surgically removed for the scale regeneration study. After 15 days of cadmium treatment, fish were taken from each tank, and a regenerating scale was taken at the same place,
