Cadmium at elevated concentrations (100 µg/L) significantly inhibits the Na +/K+-ATPase activity in different tissues of rat, frog, rabbit, and trout, and also sometimes at concentrations as low as 16 µg/L in the case of gill basolateral membrane vesicle of European eels (Anguilla anguilla). Inhibition of ATPase activities may lead to severe perturbations of osmoregulation processes, causing disturbances in migration and perhaps the survival of feral eel populations (Lemaire-Gony and Mayer-Gostan 1994).
