Effects of Altering Freshwater Chemistry on Physiological Responses of Rainbow Trout to Silver Exposure [PDF]

, 1999
The influence of different water Cl- (50–600 μM), Ca2+ (50–1,500 μM), Na+ (50–1,500 μM), or dissolved organic carbon (DOC, 0.31–5 mg/L) levels on silver-induced physiological and biochemical perturbations of rainbow trout were investigated.
