Gonadal dysgenesis in rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri

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

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...

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...

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).

Steroidogenesis in the gonads of rainbow trout fry (Salmo gairdneri) before and after the onset of gonadal sex differentiation.

Gonadal homogenates of rainbow trout from D(ay) 60, D100 and D200 after fertilization have been incubated in vitro in the presence of dehydroepiandrosterone-3H to demonstrate 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 beta-HSD) and delta 5,4-isomerase activity, of pregnenolone-3H to assess the synthesis of "progestins" and of androstenedione-3H to determine oestrogen synthesis in the ovaries and th...
