Title:  Bioaccumulation and subcellular partitioning of zinc in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): Cross-talk between waterborne and dietary uptake.
 
Authors:  Sappal R, Burka J, Dawson S, Kamunde C
 
Drug:  Zinc
 
Fish species:  Trout, rainbow
 
Date:  2009
 
Sample:  blood, cells
 
Ave Weight (gm):  14
 
Ave Water temp (°C):  11.75
 
Water:  Freshwater
 
Dosage:  1.5 mg/kg 40d
 
Route:  PO
 
Comments:  Fish were euthanized with an overdose of 150 mg/L MS-222. Waterborne Zn exposure appeared to stimulate gowth while dietary Zn exposure inhibited growth. Fish on the low diet were significantly smaller than both the low and high waterborne Zn-exposed fish on day 40. Dietary exposure decreased Zn concentrations in blood cells.
