the effects of calcium on water balance of the brown trout salmo trutta.water space, tritiated water flux, drinking and urine flow rates of the brown trout were decreased by increasing the environmental calcium concentration. diffusional and osmotic permeabilities were identical in fresh water. this suggests that water flow across the gill occurs entirely by diffusion. previous suggestions of a discrepancy between the two permeabilities in freshwater teleosts could have been due to an overestimation of urine flow rate upon which the determination of osmotic permeabi ...19751202127
an immunochemical study of the human blood group p1, p, and pk glycosphingolipid antigens.the erythrocyte pk and p blood group antigens have been identified as ceramide trihexoside (cth), gal-(alpha, 1 leads to 4)gal(beta, 1 leads to 4)glc-cer, and globoside, galn-ac(beta, 1 leads to 3)gal(alpha, 1 leads to 4)gal(beta, 1 leads to 4)glc-cer, respectively, and the following structure has been proposed for the p1 antigen: gal(alpha, 1 leads to 4)gal(beta, 1 leads to 4)glcnac(beta, 1 leads to 3)gal(beta, 1 leads to 4)glc-cer. although the p1 and pk determinants have identical terminal di ...19751182122
a natural anti-a agglutinin in the serum of the brown trout (salmo trutta).20% of normal serum samples from adult brown trout (salmo trutta) possess an agglutinin for human erythrocytes with anti-blood-group a specificity. this agglutinin has properties which clearly distinguish it from the agglutinin with anti-(b+'p') specificity found in ova from fish of the same species and from anti-blood a antibodies found in human serum.19751173701
the spectral transmission of the lens and cornea of the brown trout (salmo trutta) and goldfish (carassius auratus)--effect of age and implications for ultraviolet vision.this study reports spectral transmission curves (250-700 nm) for the lenses and corneas of two teleost species known to be u.v. sensitive; brown trout (salmo trutta) aged 0-3 yr, and goldfish (carassius auratus) aged 0-4 yr. in both cases there is a decrease in lenticular short-wave transmission with increased age which cannot be explained by an increase in lens size alone. corneas of goldfish go through a similar ageing process while those of the trout do not. an orange pigmentation located in ...19892623828
the immune response of brown trout (salmo trutta l.) to injection with soluble antigens.the immune response of brown trout (salmo trutta) to horse serum and keyhole limpet haemocyanin was studied. intraperitoneal and intramuscular injections were used, with and without adjuvant, in 209 fish. complement-fixing antibodies (cfa) and precipitins were produced to both antigens. cfa were detected after 8 days to haemocyanin and after 13 days to horse serum. maximum cfa titres to a single intraperitoneal injection of horse serum or haemocyanin were reached at 44 and 43-46 days respectivel ...19761022141
mercury in various tissues of fish caught downstream of a wood pulp factory in the kammerfoss river, south norway.the mercury content of perch (perca fluviatilis) and brown trout (salmo trutta) from a river in south norway, previously shown to be contaminated with mercury from a wood pulp factory, was studied during a 5-years period after the use of mercury in the factory had been discontinued in 1970. in addition to muscular tissue, samples of liver, kidney, brain, heart, and gonads were also analyzed in some cases. the mercury level in the musculature remained nearly constant at about 1 mug/g during the y ...1976995587

effect of potassium ethylxanthate and sodium diethyldithiocarbamate on the accumulation and disposition of nickel in the brown trout (salmo trutta).brown trouts, salmo trutta, were exposed to water containing 0.1 or 10 micrograms/l of 63ni2+, alone or with potassium ethylxanthate or sodium diethyldithiocarbamate. after one and three weeks the accumulation and disposition of the 63ni2+ in the fish were examined by liquid scintillation spectrometry and whole-body autoradiography. the sodium diethyldithiocarbamate was found to greatly enhance the uptake of 63ni2+ in several tissues of the trouts. potassium ethylxanthate was without effect. die ...19882840649
effects of some chelating agents on the uptake and distribution of 203hg2+ in the brown trout (salmo trutta): studies on ethyl- and isopropylxanthate, diethyl- and diisopropyldithiophosphate, dimethyl- and diethyldithiocarbamate and pyridinethione.brown trout, salmo trutta, were exposed to water containing 0.1 microgram/l 203hg2+, alone or with potassium ethylxanthate (pex), sodium isopropylxanthate (six), sodium diethyldithiophosphate (sep), sodium diisopropyldithiophosphate (sip), sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate (smc), sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (sec) or sodium pyridinethione (spyr), respectively. after 1 week the uptake and distribution of the 203hg2+ in the fish were examined by gamma spectrometry. six, sip, smc, sec and spyr induce ...19882853939
somatostatin stimulates acth release in brown trout (salmo trutta l.).injections of somatostatin (srif) produced small but significant increases in the serum cortisol concentration of brown trout in which endogenous acth secretion was suppressed with dexamethasone. srif did not stimulate in vitro secretion of cortisol by trout interrenal tissue. these results suggest that srif may play a minor role in acth secretion in salmonids.19862867005
kinetic studies on the lactate dehydrogenase (ldh-5) isozymes of brown trout, salmo trutta l.the ldh-5 isozymes of brown trout, salmo trutta l., were purified and subjected to enzyme kinetic analysis. a hierarchy of magnitude existed for both km(pyr) and km(lac) such that ldh-5(105/105) greater than (100/105) greater than (100/100). the results suggest that the 105 allele has been replaced by 100 at ldh-5 under the action of natural selection.19854053579
localization of calmodulin positive immunoreactivity in the surface epidermis of the brown trout, salmo trutta.calmodulin is a ca2+-dependent modulatory protein which is required in the general regulation of a large number of key processes of cellular metabolism. in the present study, the localization of calmodulin positive immunoreactivity in the epidermis of the brown trout, salmo trutta was investigated using a specific mouse monoclonal antibody to calmodulin of igg2 class. the immunoreaction was found only in the superficial epithelial cells that constitute the main histological site for the producti ...19892925445

independence of the pituitary-interrenal axis and melanotroph activity in the brown trout, salmo trutta l., under conditions of environmental stress.adaptation of brown trout to a black or white background had no statistically significant influence on the activity of the pituitary-interrenal axis in unstressed fish, in fish under conditions of mild chronic stress, or in fish under conditions of severe, acute stress. this finding is in contrast to several other studies on salmonid fish in which background color adaptation has been shown to modulate the pituitary-interrenal response to environmental stress. it is argued that these differences ...19863030875
on the use of dexamethasone to block the pituitary-interrenal axis in the brown trout, salmo trutta l.oral administration of dexamethasone in a single meal at a dose of 3 micrograms g-1 body wt was sufficient to block the secretion of acth and cortisol in brown trout subjected to a handling stress followed by 30 min confinement. this dose, however, also had a marked effect on several of the circulating blood cell types. lymphocyte and neutrophil counts were reduced in dexamethasone-treated fish whereas erythrocyte counts increased. the value of dexamethasone as a tool for investigating the role ...19873030876
adp-ribosyltransferase is highly conserved: purification and characterization of adp-ribosyltransferase from a fish and its comparison with the human enzyme.covalent modification of proteins by adp-ribosylation is a major mode of protein regulation in eukaryotic cells. adp-ribosyltransferases have been characterized from mammals but little is known about these enzymes in lower vertebrates. we purified an adp-ribosyltransferase (e.c. 2.4.2.30) from trout (salmo trutta faris) by affinity chromatography and characterized it. the 11,700-fold purified activity shows a major protein band at a molecular mass of 75,000 kda in a sds-polyacrylamide gel. in si ...19873121683
host-parasite relationships between larval sialis lutaria (megaloptera) and neoechinorhynchus rutili (acanthocephala).the role of the larva of the alder fly sialis lutaria as a host for neoechinorhynchus rutili (acanthocephala) has been investigated. brown trout (salmo trutta) infected with n. rutili were found to be feeding on s. lutaria larvae which contained juvenile acanthocephalans in their haemocoels. these acanthocephalans have been identified as n. rutili. a previous report of this host-parasite relationship indicated some form of host response to the larval acanthocephalan. stained wax sections of s. l ...19883200605
evidence for post-cyclic transmission in the life-history of neoechinorhynchus rutili (acanthocephala).field observations at one site on brown trout (salmo trutta) and three-spined sticklebacks (gasterosteus aculeatus) concurrently infected with mature neoechinorhynchus rutili, together with the knowledge that large trout can be piscivorous in habit led to the proposition that the post-cyclic transmission of n. rutili may occur between these fish species. this route of transmission has been suggested for a number of acanthocephalan species. a laboratory experiment was conducted and it was demonst ...19883200606

supracellular microtubule alignments in cell layers associated with the secretion of certain fish scales.intercellularly aligned microtubule arrays are present in cell layers associated with the growth and secretion of scales in the zebra fish brachydanio rerio and the neon tetra fish hyphessobrycon innesi. the layers in question are: the osteoblast layer that covers the ossified outer surface of a scale, and the layer of fibroblasts that is situated immediately underneath the inner collagenous surface of a scale's fibrillary plate. in certain osteoblasts, the proximal portions of microtubules (wit ...19863308914
morphology of the pronephros of the juvenile brown trout, salmo trutta.the pronephros in juvenile brown trout (salmo trutta) consists of a large ovoid renal corpuscle and a pair of tubules. the corpuscle is retained for 11 months, after which the glomerulus regresses. the glomerular arteries come directly from the dorsal aorta. the interstitium is permeated with venous blood vessels that arise from the anterior cardinal veins and are closely apposed to the tubules. two distinct segments of the pronephric tubular system are distinguished by the histological and ultr ...19883351948
seasonal variation in specific plasma- and target-tissue binding of androgens, relative to plasma steroid levels, in the brown trout, salmo trutta l.the circulating levels of the plasma androgens, testosterone and 11-ketotestosterone, and their specific binding to skin cytosol, skin nuclear extract, and plasma were determined in mature male and immature male and female brown trout during a single spawning cycle. 11-ketotestosterone was not bound by any of the fractions examined whereas testosterone was bound with high affinity to plasma (kd = 32.6 nm), skin cytosol (kd = 16.9 nm), and skin nuclear extract (kd = 2.6 nm). the binding capacity ...19883384312
ultraviolet receptors, tetrachromatic colour vision and retinal mosaics in the brown trout (salmo trutta): age-dependent changes.microspectrophotometric analysis of the visual receptors of "yearling" brown trout, salmo trutta, revealed three cone types, double cones with visual pigments absorbing maximally at about 600 and 535 nm, and two types of single cone with lambda max at about 440 and 355 nm. two-year-old fish did not possess the u.v. cone cells. microscopical analysis of the cone mosaic in "yearling" trout showed a square pattern of double cones with a central single cone and corner single cones, but in two-year-o ...19873447359
monoclonal antibodies to salmonid immunoglobulin: characterization and applicability in immunoassays.monoclonal antibodies to rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) igm were prepared and characterized for use in immunoassays. antibodies produced by the five clones reacted with the heavy chain of the immunoglobulin. no indication of different heavy chain isotype specificity was observed for the mabs. one clone discerned igm from rainbow trout while the other four clones cross-reacted with igm from atlantic salmon (salmo salar) and from brown trout (salmo trutta). the monoclonal antibodies identifie ...19902086271
[parasitism in fishes and human riverside communities of the huillinco and natri lakes (great island of chiloé), chile].in april and december 1989, 35 fish from lake huillinco (42 degrees 48's, 74 degrees 02'w) and 36 fish from lake natri (42 degrees 48's, 73 degrees 50'w), in the great island of chiloé (chile) were examined. coprological samples from 159 persons, 17 dogs, 19 pigs and 4 cats from around both lakes were examined for diphyllobothrium spp. infection. in the lake huillinco the following helminths of fishes were determined: contracaecum sp. and hysterothylacium sp. in salmo trutta, cauque mauleanum an ...19902152358
androgen binding in the skin of mature male brown trout, salmo trutta l.specific, saturable binding of [3h]testosterone (kd = 12.5 nm, nmax = 1.1 pmol mg-1 protein) has been identified in skin cytosol of mature male brown trout. binding with this affinity and capacity resembles more closely that observed in the plasma of mature male brown trout (kd = 20.6 nm, nmax = 6.6 pmol mg-1 protein) than that expected of a specific steroid receptor. however, the fraction of skin cytosol precipitating with 30% ammonium sulphate has a higher affinity for testosterone (kd = 1.9 n ...19873582954
comparative ultrastructure of the zona radiata from eggs of six species of salmonids.the zona radiata from unactivated and activated eggs from chinook salmon (oncorhynchus tshawytscha), chum salmon (o. kisutch), pink salmon (o. gorbuscha), brown trout (salmo trutta), rainbow trout (s. gairdneri) and lake trout (salvelinus namaycush) were examined using scanning and transmission microscopy. the zona radiata in all species examined consisted of an outer adhesive coating, a thin densely staining zona radiata externa with pore canal plugs and a thick, fibrous zona radiata interna wi ...19873690632
toxicity of selected priority pollutants to various aquatic organisms.toxicity tests were conducted with selected compounds listed by the united states environmental protection agency (epa) as priority pollutants. acute toxicity information was determined for acenaphthene, arsenic trioxide, cadmium chloride, mercury(ii) chloride, silver nitrate, chlordane, endosulfan, and heptachlor. acute tests were conducted using one or more of the following species: fathead minnows (pimephales promelas), channel catfish (ictalurus punctatus), rainbow trout (salmo gairdneri), b ...19836617566
seasonal and diel changes in plasma cortisol levels of the brown trout, salmo trutta l.a marked diel variation in plasma cortisol concentration was demonstrated in the brown trout, salmo trutta l. for most of the year this variation took the form of an elevation of cortisol levels during the hours of darkness. there was some evidence of a phase shift from a peak at 2400 hr during the spring and early summer to a peak at 0400 hr during the late summer and early autumn. during the winter months a nocturnal elevation of plasma cortisol was not evident. a shorter, episodic elevation o ...19836682391
tracts of putative ultraviolet receptors in the retina of the two-year-old brown trout (salmo trutta) and the atlantic salmon (salmo salar).we previously showed that the brown trout possesses uv-sensitive cones in its retina that are lost in 2-year-old fish. however, present investigations reveal that in the narrow growth zone along the periphery and the ventral embryonic fissure, the formation of these cones continues in trout and salmon.19873691736
the effect of dose, route, number of injections and the use of adjuvant on the clearance of and immune response to, haemocyanin following injection into brown trout (salmo trutta).the primary and secondary immune responses were investigated in trout injected with haemocyanin (hcn) intramuscularly (im) or intraperitoneally (ip), with or without adjuvant. hcn was detected in the blood 30 min after injection and clearance times varied after one injection from 8 to 56 days. fish given two and three injections cleared the antigen faster. precipitins against hcn were first detected 21 to 30 days after injection and were still present on day 56. however, antibodies detectable by ...19863765340
kinetic studies on the lactate dehydrogenase isozymes of the brown trout, salmo trutta l.informative crosses have verified the genetic basis of a polymorphism at the ldh-1 locus in brown trout and enzyme activity measurements indicate that the previously described polymorphism at this locus is best explained by a null allele. the ldh-1, ldh-2, ldh-3 and ldh-4 homotetrameric isozymes were purified and subjected to enzyme kinetic analysis. while ldh-1 and ldh-2 displayed catalytic equivalence, important kinetic differences were found between the ldh-3 and ldh-4 isozymes.19863780191
mercury levels in fish in a river habitat after cessation of mercury contamination.the rate of decrease shown by mercury levels in brown trout (salmo trutta) and perch (perca fluviatilis) collected downstream to a wood pulp factory after a ban on the use of phenyl mercury in the pulp and paper industries was made effective in 1970 has been slow. even though a river habitat was involved, it seemed to take about 15 years for levels of mercury in downstream fish to fall to those recorded in fish upstream to the wood pulp factory.19863797236
sacciform cells in the epidermis of the brown trout, salmo trutta, and the arctic char, salvelinus alpinus.sacciform cells containing an acidophilic, proteinaceous secretion, were identified in the epidermis of the brown trout and arctic char. this cell type increased in number during the chronic stages of infestation by the ectoparasitic flagellate, ichthyobodo sp., in immature brown trout, and decreased during sexual maturation in male brown trout and char. it is suggested that the salmonid sacciform cell produces a secretion which protects the fish against infestation or damage by skin parasites.19873815480
stress-induced elevation of plasma alpha-msh and endorphin in brown trout, salmo trutta l.handling and confinement caused a pronounced elevation in the plasma cortisol levels of brown trout. this response was more rapid, and the elevation greater, at 13.4 than at 5 degrees although basal cortisol levels were also higher at the warmer water temperature. the large increase in plasma cortisol caused by handling and confinement was not accompanied by any changes in the plasma levels of either alpha-msh or endorphin. however, when handling and confinement was combined with a thermal shock ...19854040489
the effects of 11-ketotestosterone and testosterone on the skin structure of brown trout, salmo trutta l.11-ketotestosterone and testosterone were administered by intraperitoneal implants to immature brown trout. physiological levels of circulating androgens were maintained over a period of 4 months and this resulted in changes in skin structure which resembled those occurring in maturing male brown trout. 11-ketotestosterone promoted both epidermal and dermal thickening, and markedly reduced the number of superficial goblet cells, whereas testosterone stimulated only epidermal thickening. the rela ...19854043719
