Abstract
When brook trout are exposed for 24 hours to sublethal doses of DDT, the cold-blocking temperature for a simple reflex, which shows lability related to thermal history, is altered in a way suggesting that DDT is aflecting the thermal acclimation mechanism. Sublethal dosage of DDT also prevents the establishment of a visual conditioned avoidance response.Keywords
