This study describes the physiological and cytological effects of an environmentally realistic concentration of cadmium on muscles organization and swimming performance of Danio rerio. Results indicate that the ion reduces the U_crit and that this effects is probably related to the resorbtion of myofibrils observed in red and white muscles.
