The effects of temperature, temperature fluctuation, and fish size on the growth of juvenile steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) were studied in experiments which lasted 10 to 25 days. Groups of fish were fed at ration levels varying from near-starvation to repletion. Decelerating, curvilinear relationships between rates of food consumption and...
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...
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...
