Duplicate groups of small coho salmon and rainbow trout were fed a water‐soluble vitamin test diet containing 0, 5, 10, 20, 40 or 100 mg of ascorbic acid per 100 g of dry diet. Both salmon and trout fed deficient diets developed acute lordosis or scoliosis with resultant high mortality. Rainbow trout appeared to exhaust ascorbic acid reserves more rapidly than coho salmon. Blood levels of ascorbate reflected diet content of vitamin C at lower levels of intake and anterior kidney tissue content increased directly with C level in diet. Wound repair was delayed or inhibited in fish on low C diets and results generally supported diet and tissue levels needed for rapid growth and absence of histopathology. A dietary need for vitamin C for both species was evident.
A case of multiple metastasls in a hepatomatous rainbow trout, with metastases to eight different organs, is reported. All metastases were confirmed by histopathologic examination.Tumor eraboll were found in branchial vessels in the apices of gill filaments. This case was one of 14 hepatomatous rainbow trout among which the incidence of metastasis was 30 percent.
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.
