Effects of PCB on the adrenergic response in perfused gills and on levels of muscle glycogen in Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri Rich.)

Polychlorinated biphenyl hazards to fish, wildlife, and invertebrates : a synoptic review

“…Brook trout held in Aroclor 1254 solutions of more than 0.43 ug/1 for 48 days had decreased concentrations of hydroxyprol ine in collagen isolated from the backbone (Johnson and Finley 1980). However, Aroclor 1254 did not markedly affect adrenaline response in gills of rainbow trout, or glycogen storage in muscle (Kiessling et al 1983).…”

“…1984a). Rainbow trout fed 1,150 mg Aroclor 1254/kg body weight contained high residues in various tissues 38 days posttreatment: 70 mg/kg in muscle on a fresh weight basis, 33 in liver, and 6 in gill filament (Kiessling et al . 1983).…”
