Abstract:: 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...

Abstract:: The toxicity of chlorobenzene (CB) was investigated in rainbow trout following acute ip administration (1. 0 ml/kg, 1:1 in corn oil) and chronic exposure (2. 1 ppm and 2. 9 ppm) via the water in a continuously flowing system for 15 and 30 days. In the acute study, overt toxicity...

Abstract:: The nephrotoxicities of the aminoglycoside antibiotics tobramycin (TBM) and netilmicin (NTM) were studied in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) to determine the usefulness of salmonids as a sensitive animal mode for investigating the nephrotoxic potential of these agents. Logit analysis revealed that 8-12 day i.p. LD 50's in rainbow trout for...

Abstract:: Changes in blood calcium and phosphorus concentrations were characterized for rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) following intense exercise or exposure to suspended volcanic ash or topsoil. Significant elevations in blood calcium and phosphorus accompanied exercise-induced acidemia in both S. qairdneri and O. kisutch. These elevations persisted...

Creator:: Shubat, Pam
Abstract:: 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...

Abstract:: A method has been developed for the continuous automated monitoring of cardiac output in adult rainbow trout. Average cardiac output measured under control conditions and varied environmental conditions of hypoxia and post-hypoxia was significantly higher (P≤ 0.05) in male than female trout. The cardiac output of trout in spawning condition...
