Morphometric and gravimetric indices of two populations of rice frog (Fejervarya limnocharis) naturally exposed to different environmental cadmium levels

In this study, morphometric and gravimetric indices were used to determine the impact of cadmium exposure on a sentinel species. Scaling coefficient, condition factor (CF), hepatosomatic index (HSI), renosomatic index (RSI) and gonadosomatic index (GSI) were compared between rice frogs (Fejervarya l...
