The effects of a sublethal concentration of dieldrin (0. 2 ppb)
in the water on the growth and body composition of underyearling rainbow
and cutthroat trout held in aquaria and fed different rations of tubificid
worms or Oregon moist pellets were studied at Oak Creek Fisheries
Research Laboratory, Oregon State...
Whole body accumulation and tissue distribution of dieldrin
(HEOD1) in rainbow trout was studied through oral dose disposition
tests and subchronic exposures via water (0.04 and 0.08 jig dieldrin/l)
and/or diet (0.087 jig dieldrin/g fish/day). Growth and maintenance
rations of 4 and 2% body weight/day were employed. Subchronic testing
produced...
Numerous tests were applied to rainbow trout
of eleven months of age to determine whether
ascorbic acid is an essential element of the diet
of these fish. Although previous work had been
done on this question, conflicts in the results,
the large reliance upon abnormal symptoms such as
lordosis and...
The rainbow trout population in Elder Creek, Oregon was
studied between June 1965 and November 1966. The physical characteristics
of the stream during the summer season were described.
Rainbow trout were captured in each of three sections on the stream
by electrofishing and were tagged and measured. Population size,
mortality,...
