Pronounced Reduction

Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, 5–13 g) became acclimated (i.e., increased their resistance to lethal Al levels, 162 μg∙L−1, pH 5.2) after only 5 d when exposed to sublethal AS (38 μg∙L−1) in acidified soft water (Na+ = 85, Ca2+ = 28 μEq∙L−1, pH 5.2). Acclimation was associated with reduced ionoregulatory and respiratory disturbances during lethal Al challenge and was maintained for at least 34 d. Acclimation was relatively specific to Al because no consistently improved resistance to lethal Cu (32 μg∙L−1, pH 5.2) was observed. Exposure to sublethal acid alone (pH 5.2) did not result in acclimation to lethal [H+] (pH 4.0) and caused a pronounced reduction in whole-body Na+ and Cl−. Sublethal acid + Al resulted in a more rapid loss of ions than sublethal acid alone over the first 10 d, but both groups subsequently recovered ionoregulatory status after 34 d. Exposure to sublethal acid alone had a negligible effect on feeding or growth. However, growth was impaired by 29% in Al-exposed trout, primarily the result of reduced appetite during the first 10 d. Decreased growth must be considered one of the costs of acclimation during chronic sublethal exposure to Al.
