Plasma Prolactin, Cortisol, and Thyroid Responses of the Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) Exposed to Lethal and Sublethal Aluminium in Acidic Soft Waters

Brown trout, with indwelling dorsal aortic cannulae, were exposed to various concentrations of aluminium (Al; 50 μg liter−1, 100% mortality over 48 hr; 25 μg liter−1, 50% mortality over 120 hr; 12.5 μg liter−1, 0% mortality over 120 hr) in acidic (pH 5.0) soft water. The plasma concentrations of pro...
