Comparative toxicity of two Iodophors to rainbow trout eggs Comparative toxicity of two Iodophors to rainbow trout eggs

Toxicity of Wescodyne(R) and Betadine(R) to eyed eggs was not adversely affected by water hardness (as calcium and magnesium) or by exposure periods up to 60 min. Both iodophors were much more toxic below pH 6.0 than at pH 8.0. In general Wescodyne was slightly more toxic than Betadine. Significant egg loss occurred if freshly fertilized eggs were water-hardened in either iodophor at 100...

Comparison of protection in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) inoculated with and fed Hagerman redmouth bacterins Comparison of protection in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) inoculated with and fed Hagerman redmouth bacterins

Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) fed 1.0 mg Hagerman redmouth bacterin per fish for 2 wk had no detectable specific, circulating, agglutinating antibody. In fish given a single subcutaneous inoculation of 1.0 mg of bacterin per fish, antibody was present from 3 wk later until 3 mo later, when the final sample was taken. Median lethal doses at various intervals after the bacterins were...

Pathophysiology of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus disease in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri): early changes in blood and aspects of the immune Response after Injection of IHN Virus Pathophysiology of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus disease in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri): early changes in blood and aspects of the immune Response after Injection of IHN Virus

Juvenile rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were injected with infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) virus and various hematological and blood chemical changes were monitored over 9 days. The packed cell volume, hemoglobin, red blood cell count, and plasma bicarbonate were significantly depressed by day 4. Plasma chloride, calcium, phosphorus, total protein, and blood cell types did not...

Stress of formalin treatment in juvenile spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri>) Stress of formalin treatment in juvenile spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri>)

The physiological stress of 200 ppm formalin treatments at 10 C is more severe in the juvenile steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) than in the spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). In the steelhead, a marked hypochloremia follows a 1-hr treatment and recovery requires about 24 hr. During longer treatments, hypercholesterolemia together with reduced regulatory precision...
