Acute waterborne nickel toxicity in the rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) occurs by a respiratory rather than ionoregulatory mechanism
The acute mechanism of toxicity of waterborne nickel (Ni) was investigated in the rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) in moderately hard (∼140 mg l −1 as CaCO 3) Lake Ontario water, where the 96-h LC 50 for juvenile trout (1.5–3.5 g) was 15.3 mg (12.7–19.0, 95% C.L.) dissolved Ni l −1. No marked im...
