The production of renal calcinosis by magnesium deficiency in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)

The production of renal calcinosis by magnesium deficiency in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri).

1. Replicate groups of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were given one of five experimental diets (diets 1-5) for 16 weeks. The diets contained different amounts of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium and were prepared so that there were three levels of Ca (g/kg): 14 (diet l) , 26 (diets 2 and 3) and 40 (diets 4 and 5) , Ca:P being approximately 1 : I in all diets. Diets 1, 2 and 4 had basal Mg le...

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).

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...
