Blood samples were taken from laboratory-reared Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to determine the physiological status of the fish. The Atlantic salmon were also subjected to one of eight treatments before blood sampling to determine the influence of various handling stresses on the blood analyses.
Urinary excretion of the 2-aminoethanol salt of 2′, 5-dichloro-4′-nitrosalicylanilide (Bayer 73) in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) was measured after exposure of the trout to Bayer 73 and also after intraperitoneal (ip) injection of the lampricide. Fish exposed to 0.05 mg/litre of Bayer 73 for 12 h quickly began to excrete residues in the urine. The largest amount of Bayer 73 was excreted during the 12-h exposure, but the trout continued to excrete Bayer 73 beyond 60 h after exposure. After rainbow trout were given ip injections of 200 µg of Bayer 73 in corn oil, they excreted up to 25 percent of the injected dose in the urine, and 20 percent was recovered in the bile at the end of the study. In both groups of fish most of the renal excretion of Bayer 73 was as the glucuronide conjugate. The exposure of rainbow trout to Bayer 73 at the doses studied had no effect on the urine output or on the renal excretion of sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and chloride (Cl-).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
