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:  gills
 
Ave Weight (gm):  14
 
Ave Water temp (°C):  11.75
 
Water:  Freshwater
 
Dosage:  4.5 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 high Zn diet were significantly smaller that low water Zn treated fish on days 14 and 28. Protein concentration was higher than those exposed to waterborne Zn on day 14. Zn concentration was significantly higher on day 40 than day 0 control.
