Investigation results are reported on immunobiochemical indices in carassius carassius at a chronic exposure to sub-lethal Zink ions concentrations. In blood serum and liver, the following characteristics were investigated: antimicrobial properties, proportion of immune- deficient animals, content of non specific immune complexes, common lipids level, content of lipids peroxidation products and antioxidant activity. The relation between magnitudes of indices under investigation in fishes and the duration of their presence under experimental conditions is shown.

The gross growth efficiency of fish (K1) in the field was estimated by incorporating concepts from fish physiology and environmental toxicology into a growth model. Using lake trout and coho salmon as examples, annual growth was estimated from age vs. weight relationships, and food intake was estimated from annual increases in body burden of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB). Log K1 is suggested to decrease over the life span of a fish.Key words: growth efficiency, annual growth, fish, contaminants

Starved coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) fingerlings were exposed to "sublethal" concentrations of neutralized bleached kraft mill effluent (BKME). Time to death was similar in the control group, in fish continuously exposed to BKME concentrations equivalent to 0.05–0.4 of the samples’ 96-h LC50 values, and in fish exposed to a treated (foam-stripped) portion of the samples at a volume equivalent to 0.7 LC50 for untreated effluent. Time to death decreased progressively in groups exposed to effluent concentrations higher than 0.4 of the 96-h LC50.
