    Notes: Rainbow trout that were held under control conditions, at pH8·0, in moderately hard Hamilton tap water, had Cl− and Na+ influx rates (JCLin and JNa, respectively) of 270 and 300 μmol kg−1 h−1, respectively. Exposure to pH 9·5 water led to an immediate 67% decline in JCLin and a 45% reduction in JNain at 0–1 h. Influx rates declined further and by 4–5 h the net decreases in both JCLin and JNain approximated 80%. By 24 h JCLin had recovered to rates not significantly different from those at pH 8·0; while JNain only partially recovered and remained about 50% lower than control measurements through 72 h. The complete recovery of JCLin and partial recovery of JNain may have been related to a fourfold greater branchial chloride cell (CC) fractional surface area observed in rainbow trout exposed to pH 9·5 for 72 h. Ammonia excretion (JAmm) was about 170 μmol N kg−1 h−1 at pH 8·0 but was initially reduced by 90% over the first hour of high pH exposure. JAmm rapidly recovered and by 24 h it had returned to pre-exposure levels. This recovery tended to parallel the partial recovery of JNain. However, subsequent addition of amiloride (10−4M) to the water at 75 h led to no change in JAmm, despite a 50% reduction in JNain. Thus, it does not appear that there is a linkage between Na+ influx and the recovery of ammonia excretion under highly alkaline conditions.

    Notes: Rainbow trout were fitted with latex masks for the measurement of ventilatory flow rate (V̇w) and with opercular catheters for sampling expired water from close to the branchial surface. Fish were exposed for 6 h to pH 5.1, 4.7 or 4.1 in the presence (138 μg l 1) or nominal absence (1 μg 1–1) of Al. Inspired and expired Al concentrations and water pH were measured via the opercular catheters. Gills were sampled for accumulated Al at the end of the experiments. V̇w increased during Al exposures at all three pHs. However, in the absence of Al, V̇w increased only at pH 4.1. Aluminium extraction from the water and Al accumulation on the gills were highest at inspired pH 5.1 and lowest at pH 4.1, and correlated well with expired pH, which was 0.2–0.7 pH units higher than inspired pH. Gill Al accumulations amounted to only about one-tenth of deposition calculated from Al extraction from the water and V̇w, and gill Al was tightly bound to the branchial surface.Calculations of Al solubility, oversaturation, and species composition were made using measured expired pH values, and were compared with Al extraction from the water and measured gill Al concentrations. In general, these analyses indicated that reduced Al solubility near the gills is a reasonable explanation of Al extraction from the water, and that Al(OH)2+ and Al(OH)3° are the Al species most likely to interact initially at the gills. It is suggested that mucus sloughing removes most precipitated Al, and that only the charged form persists, bound to structural elements on the gill surface. A model incorporating these results, and pH changes in the fish gill micro-environment in general, is presented to explain previously-reported ionoregulatory and respiratory effects of Al.

    Notes: The Lahontan cutthroat trout lives under highly alkaline and saline conditions in Pyramid Lake, Nevada (pH 9.4; 0.2 mmol 1−1 Ca++; 7.3 mmol 1−1 Mg++). These experiments were conducted to study the possible roles of water Ca++ and Mg++ concentrations on ammonia excretion in the Lahontan cutthroat trout under highly alkaline conditions. The basic protocol of the experiments was to determine ammonia excretion rates during the following three exposure periods (each of 3-h duration) in sequence: (a) in normal lake water; (b) in soft lake water with the divalent cation concentrations reduced; and (c) in the soft lake water with either Ca++ or Mg++ (or no divalent cations added) added back at the appropriate lake water concentration. The soft-water exposure caused a significant reduction in ammonia excretion to about half of the control (original lake water) levels. When either Ca++ or Mg++ was added to the soft water in the third exposure period, the ammonia excretion rates were increased more than twofold back to lake water levels.

    Notes: The 109Cd binding assay of Eaton & Toal was critically evaluated and then used to assess the induction of cytosolic metal-binding ligands in rainbow trout exposed to Zn in the diet and/or in the water for 16 weeks. With purified rabbit Cd-Zn metallothionein (MT), 109Cd binding and total Cd recovery in the assay were linear up to 5 μg of protein; gel chromatography revealed a single peak. With heat-denatured extracts of gill, liver and intestine from control and Cd- and Zn-injected trout, 109Cd binding was generally linear with sample size. Gel chromatography demonstrated that 109Cd was bound by a protein with the same apparent weight as MT (∼ 11000 daltons), but significant binding occurred also at three other regions [molecular weight (mol wt) 〉70 000, 30000 and 〈3000]. In the dietary/waterborne Zn exposure, induced 109Cd-binding activity occurred not in the MT peak but in the low mol wt peak (〈 3000). Activity in the gill rose in response to both dietary and waterborne Zn, but the liver did not respond. The maximum five-fold elevation in the gill was primarily a waterborne effect. In the intestine, the maximum rise was 25-fold due to both factors. The thresholds for induction were 〉 39 μg Zn| in water, and 〉 90 mg kg | in the diet, but only when waterborne Zn was also high. There was no correlation between 109Cd binding and acid soluble thiol levels, which tended to decline at higher Zn exposures.

    Notes: Softwater (Ca2+=50, Na+= 50(μequiv. l−1) acclimated rainbow trout were fitted with chronic arterial catheters to allow for repetitive blood sampling. After 48 h recovery they were then exposed to either control (pH 6.5, Al = 0μg l−1), acid (pH 4.8, Al = 0μg l−1) or acid plus aluminum (pH 4.8, A1 = 112 μg l−1) conditions for 72 h. Parameters measured included blood glucose, lactate, haemoglobin, haematocrit and plasma Na+, Cl−, protein and cortisol.Exposure to pH 4′8 alone caused no mortality, a moderate ionoregulatory disturbance and a transient elevation in plasma cortisol. All other parameters were not significantly different from controls. Addition of aluminum to this exposure caused 100% mortality with a mean survival time of only 27.0 h. There was a marked decrease in plasma ions, hyperglycemia, lactate accumulation, haemoconcentration, red cell swelling, and a sharp rise in plasma cortisol becoming greatly increased as the fish neared death. The mechanism of toxicity of acute acid/aluminum exposure, the role for cortisol under such conditions, and the validity of cortisol and glucose as indicators of stress in fish are discussed.

    The effect of β-adrenergic blockade on the recovery process after strenuous exercise in the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson (1988)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Trout fitted with arterial catheters were subjected to 6 min of strenuous exercise, injected with either saline (controls) or the β-adrenergic antagonist propranolol, and monitored over the following 8-h recovery period. Control responses were very similar to those previously reported, except for much higher resting and post-exercise plasma catecholamine levels, and less marked RBC pHi regulation, perhaps due to season (February–May). Trout subjected to prior β-blockade would not exercise. Trout β-blocked immediately after exercise showed a much higher incidence of mortality during the recovery period, but accompanying symptoms were similar to those previously documented in control trout dying after exercise. Specific effects of post-exercise β-blockade seen in both survivors and mortalities were a sustained elevation of arterial Pco2 and an inhibition of blood glucose elevation. There were negligible effects on RBC pHi and volume regulation, blood metabolic acid and lactate dynamics, or plasma ion changes. The results provide little support for the hypothesis that β-adrenergic actions of plasma catecholamines are intimately involved in post-exercise recovery, but must be considered in the context of the ‘winter’ trout, where β-responses may be diminished.

    Responses of juvenile rainbow trout, under food limitation, to chronic low pH and elevated summer temperatures, alone and in combination (1998)

    Notes: Rainbow trout were exposed (90 days) in synthetic soft water to sublethal low pH (5.2) and a simulated climate warming scenario (+2°C above the control summer temperature range of 16.5–21° C), alone and in combination, under conditions of limited food (∼4% dry body weight day−1). Weight specific oxygen consumption rates (Mo2) were ∼55% of Mo2(max), in contrast to ∼75% of Mo2(max) found in trout fed an unlimited ration. This is likely due to a reduction in food quantity and thus feeding activity. However, the trout exposed to low pH at control temperatures exhibited higher conversion efficiencies and increased growth. In contrast, trout exposed to +2°C had reduced growth rates. No ionoregulatory disturbance occurred in any treatment, suggesting that this ration was sufficient to provide a replacement salt load in the diet. Energy budgets indicated that the limited ration resulted in a lowered optimum temperature for growth, with a greater proportion of the energy intake dissipated for metabolic expenditure, resulting in reduced conversion efficiencies. A fourfold reduction in faecal and unaccounted energy losses indicated higher absorption efficiencies than in satiation-fed trout.

    Calcium regulation in the freshwater-adapted mummichog (1997)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: In light of recent findings of an unusual pattern of ionoregulation (high Na+ uptake and negligible Cl- uptake) in the freshwater-adapted mummichog Fundulus heteroclitus, the pattern of Ca2+ regulation was examined. Under control conditions (water Ca2+= 200μEq l-1), unidirectional Ca2+ influx was 11 ± 4 nEq g-1 h-1. Acute variation of external Ca2+ levels revealed a saturable Ca2+ uptake system with a relatively high affinity (Km= 125 ± 36 μEq 1-1) and a transport capacity (Jmax= 31 ± 4 nEq g-1 h-1) comparable to those of other teleosts. Lanthanum (equimolar to [Ca2+]) significantly blocked Ca2+ uptake by 67% whereas magnesium had no effect. Chronic low Ca2+ exposure (50 μEq 1-1) stimulated Ca2+ uptake almost three-fold above control values, whereas chronic high Ca2+ exposure (20000 μEq 1-1) had no effect. Lanthanum and chronic low Ca2+ treatments disturbed the normally positive Ca2+ and Na+ balances of the animals whereas acid-base balance and ammonia excretion were undisturbed. The results indicate that Ca2+ regulation by the mummichog conforms to the model for freshwater Ca2+ transport whereby chloride cells on the gills take up Ca2+ actively from the water. However, the absence of extra-intestinal Cl- uptake and the recent demonstration of significant Ca2+ uptake by opercular epithelia raise questions about the relative roles of branchial and opercular epithelial chloride cells in freshwater F. heteroclitus.

    Zinc binding to the gills of rainbow trout: the effect of long-term exposure to sublethal zinc (1998)

    Notes: The effects of sublethal waterborne Zn (2·28 μmol l−1) on Zn binding kinetics to the apical gill surface were studied in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Two separate radiotracer techniques were employed to ascertain this information. First, in vitro binding kinetic experiments were performed at extremely elevated zinc concentrations (up to 20 mmol l−1) to measure relatively low-affinity binding sites at the gill epithelium. There were no differences in Zn binding parameters (Km and Bmax) for fish sublethally exposed to Zn for 21 days and their simultaneous controls. Nevertheless, Ca did have an increased inhibitory effect on Zn binding in Zn-exposed fish suggesting that the anionic groups on the gill epithelium of these fish had been altered in some manner. Additionally, in vivo Zn binding kinetics were investigated using environmentally relevant waterborne Zn concentrations (low μmol l−1 range) to isolate high-affinity Zn binding sites (Ca transporters). No appreciable alterations in the Km and Bmax values for Zn binding were seen between the Zn-exposed group and its simultaneous control following 15 days of exposure. Furthermore, no significant differences in CC morphometry were observed between treatments. Despite these lack of treatment effects, there were temporal alterations in Km, Bmax and CC fractional surface area in both groups. It is proposed that these fluctuations are controlled by hormonal factors (such as stanniocalcin), believed to play a role in Ca influx.

    Notes: Erythrocytes from Amazonian teleosts of the Rio Negro were surveyed for the presence of adrenergically mediated Na+/H+ exchange. Washed red blood cells (RBCs) incubated in HEPES-buffered Cortland saline were stimulated with 10−4 M L-adrenaline. The adrenergic response was clearly present in two characids, the tambaqui Colossoma macropomom and the jaraqui Semaprochilodus insignis, as demonstrated by a decrease in the pHc-pHi gradient across the RBC membrane, an uptake of Na+ from the extracellular medium, and RBC swelling. The latter was signalled by increased mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and decreased mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The response did not occur in two other characids, the black piranha Serrasalmus rhombeus and the aracu Leporinus fasciatus or in two silurid catfish, the piranambu Pinirampus pirinampu and the acari-bodo, armoured catfish, Pterygoplichthys multiradiatus. In acari-bodo, the Na+/H+ exchange response was similarly lacking under anoxic conditions. Oxygenated/deoxygenated comparisons revealed the presence of a marked Root effect in jaraqui and its absence in acari-bodo. GTP dominated over ATP as the major intracellular phosphate in all six species. There were no significant changes in any nucleoside phosphate (ATP, ADP, AMP, GTP, GDP, or GMP) in response to adrenaline in any species.
