Effect of selected organophosphate insecticides in sublethal concentrations on rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri Rich

Toxicokinetics of Fenvalerate in Rainbow Trout (Salmo Gairdneri)

An in vivo rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) preparation was used to evaluate the gill uptake and toxicokinetics of [3H]fenvalerate ([R,S]-α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl [R,S]-2-[4-chloro-phenyl]-3-methylbutyrate), a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. Fish were exposed to technical-grade fenvalerate (0.28 or 23 ng/L) or an emulsifiable-concentrate formulation (16 ng/L) for 36 to 48 h. No significant effe...

Nocardial Infection in Hatchery-reared Fingerling Rainbow Trout (salmo Gairdneri).

Lactate and Proton Dynamics in the Rainbow Trout (salmo Gairdneri)

Chronically cannulated rainbow trout were subjected to 6 min of severe burst exercise and monitored over a 12 h recovery period. There were shortlived increases in haematocrit, haemoglobin, plasma protein, Na and Cl~ levels. Plasma [Cl~] later declined below normal as organic anions accumulated. A much larger and more prolonged elevation in plasma [K] probably resulted from intracellular acidos...

The effect of dietary composition and of insulin on gluconeogenesis in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri).

1. The activities at 15" of three gluconeogenic enzymes, D-fructose-l,6-diphosphate, 1-phosphohydrolase (EC 3.1.3.1 l), pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (4.1.1.32), were determined in liver, kidney, gill and muscle of rainbow trout (Sulmo guirdneri) given a commercial diet. The results indicated that liver and kidney are the main sites of gluconeogenesis. ...

Pituitary activation by bacterial endotoxins in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri).

Endotoxins from Escherichia coli and Aeromonas salmonicida caused marked cortisol production in the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri).
