Abstract
In rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) fed pellets containing 4.55 μg/g of p,p′-DDT and 6.81 μg/g of p,p′-DDE every other day, anesthetic induction and recovery times of phenoxyethanol (PE) were less than those in trout fed control pellets. No interactions were observed in fish fed DDT/DDE and anesthetized with ethyl m-aminobenzoate methanesulphonate (M.S. 222). Differences observed between fish fed DDT/DDE and anesthetized with PE as compared to M.S. 222 could be due either to enhanced metabolism of PE or to the fact that PE and M.S. 222 have different modes or sites of action.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
