| use of blood parameters in fish to assess acidic stress and chloride pollution in french running waters. | the study investigated whether plasmatic parameters in fish such as cl- content could serve as physiological indicators to evaluate water quality. the variations of plasma cl- content in two fish species caught in a wide range of rivers representative of the hydrographic system of lorraine (n-e france) were investigated. first, we studied autochthonous populations of chub (leuciscus cephalus) which is a widespread species in the rivers of lorraine. organisms living in highly mineralised rivers ( ... | 2002 | 11996122 |
| mucous cell responses in gill and skin of brown trout salmo trutta fario in acidic, aluminium-containing stream water. | morphometric examination was carried out on the gills and skin of wild and caged hatchery brown trout salmo trutta fario in an acidic (ph 4.9 to 5.4; al 203 to 250 microg l(-1)) and in a non-acidic (ph 6.7 to 7.0; al 27 to 67 microg l(-1)) stream in the vosges mountains (ne france) to assess the sublethal effects of acidic water on the mucous cell response. the caged fish were randomly collected after 2, 4, 7 and 11 d and the wild fish were obtained by electrofishing. after 2 d, a reduction of b ... | 2003 | 14667035 |
