Neuman -- Bioaccumulation of waterborne, 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene in tissues of rainbow trout / R.V. Thurston, J.F. Neuman, C.J. Brauner and D.J. Randall -- Dietary exposure to toxic metals in fish / R.D. Handy -- The physiology and toxicology of zinc in fish / C. Hogstrand and C.M. Wood -- Lethal and sub-lethal effects of copper upon fish: a role for ammonia toxicity? / E.W. Taylor, M.W. Beaumont, P.J. Butler, J. Mair and M.S.I. Mujallid -- The physiological status of brown trout exposed to aluminium in acidic soft waters / J.A. Brown and C.P. Waring -- Physiological and metabolic costs of acclimation to chronic sub-lethal acid and aluminium exposure in rainbow trout / R.W. Wilson -- Physiological effects of nitrite in teleosts and crustaceans / F.B. Jensen. |
| Summary | When this book was first published in 1996, the pollution of the earth's freshwater habitats was, as it is now, a topic of major concern. This synthesis considers the effects of pollutants on aquatic animals via a series of research and review articles that present experimental evidence of sublethal and lethal effects of a range of toxicants at the physiological, cellular and subcellular levels, and that explore techniques for detection of pollution damage. Topics covered include routes of uptake of toxicants; the effect of acute and chronic exposure to toxic metal ions, particularly zinc, copper and aluminium, with emphasis on the mechanisms of toxicity and responses to chronic exposure to sublethal levels; the impact on fish biology of two chemicals of current concern, nitrites and polyaromatic hydrocarbons, which may act as oestrogenic substances or potent mutagens; and in vitro studies of the mechanisms of toxicity at the cellular and subcellular level, including damage of DNA, using cultured fish cells. |
