This research was conducted to investigate the lethality concentration of Cadmium and Lead in species
Artemia Franciscana in laboratory conditions. Artemia was fed individually from the micro Algae
Isochrysis galbana and
Nannochloropsis oculata for seven days. Among the heavy metals, Cadmium and Lead, are oil pollution indicators and industrial activities in the marine ecosystem, Therefore, the type of response of these organisms to contaminants such as Lead and Cadmium, due to its increasing contamination, is very important. In this study, Artemia was exposed to 10 concentrations of (120 to 230 mg / L and one control group), Cadmium, and Lead. LC
5024h for Artemia fed with micro Algae
Isochrysisis galbana and Nannochloropsis oculata in the vicinity of Cadmium was 170 mg / L and 189 mg / L, respectively, and for the Lead metal in Artemia fed with both types of microalgae Equal to 180 mg/liter was obtained. The results of this study showed that Cadmium toxicity in Artemia fed with microalgae
I. galbana was higher than that of Lead, but the Lead toxicity of
N .oculata. fed with Artemia was higher than that of Cadmium.
