Key Words Nephrocalcinosis

Histological sections and isolated granules from kidney tubules of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) with nephrocalcinosis show that the mineral deposits form a network imbedded in a ceroid matrix. The mineral portion, about 80% by weight of the granules, contains 30% Ca, 2.5% Mg, 15% P, and 5% CO3. The matrix is basophilic, sudanophilic and acid fast, is insoluble in lipid solvents but will dissolve in hot 10% NaOH. Key words: nephrocalcinosis, calcification, ceroid, rainbow trout

Time Required

Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) homozygous for liver lactate dehydrogenase alleles ldhHαA and ldhHαB were artificially propagated and their swimming stamina compared. The time required to fatigue 50% of the HαAHαA phenotypes in fixed water velocity tests was 2.3 times greater on the average than that of HαAHαB phenotypes.Likewise, LDH phenotypes HαAHαA, HαAHαB, and HαAHαB of steelhead trout from the Thompson River were artifically propagated and their swimming stamina compared. In contrast to the rainbow trout, significant differences in stamina among the three phenotypes of steelhead were not evident in the stocks from this river nor between phenotypes HαAHαB and HαBHαB from another stream, the Vedder River, which has a very low frequency of the ldhHαA allele. The stamina of young steelhead from the Thompson River was, however, 3.8 times greater than that of those from the Vedder River. Key words: stamina, LDH, rainbow trout, steelhead, phenotype, swimming, fatigue

Olfactory Organs

Exposure of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) to 5.7 × 10−10 M (5 × 10−5 mg/L) morpholine during smoking period did not influence the subsequent neural response to this substance, when tested immediately and 12 mo after smoking. No significant difference in the morpholine-induced responses was obtained between the exposed and unexposed fish. Using N-ethylmaleimide, a sulfhydryl reagent, it was further confirmed that the morpholine-effect is caused by a mechanism not directly associated with the normal olfactory function. Perfusion of the olfactory organs with 1.0 × 10−1 and 1.1 × 10−1 M (1%) morpholine for 10 min irreversibly inhibited the olfactory responsiveness to odorants. Sensitization of the olfactory bulbar electrical response is discussed in connection with homing of morpholine-imprinted salmonid fishes. Key words: olfaction, olfactory bulbar response, rainbow trout, salmon, imprinting, morpholine, homing, migration

Prey Vulnerability

Yearling rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, and channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, were subjected to 0.5- and 3-h periods of narcosis using continuous direct current. Galvanonarcosis treatments decreased the immediate individual and group activity in both species of fish. Twenty-four hours after treatment, all fish except trout narcotized for 3 h recovered to levels of individual and group activity equivalent to those of untreated fish. Photonegative response was strong in both fish species and was not influenced by galvanonarcosis treatments. Trout narcotized with direct current were more vulnerable to predation than untreated fish; susceptability increased with increasing treatment periods. The potential of extended galvanonarcosis as a fish immobilization technique is strong. Key words: galvanonarcosis, behavior, extended narcosis, direct current, rainbow trout, channel catfish, photonegative, activity, prey vulnerability, immobilization

Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), west-slope cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki), and their F1 hybrids were electrophoretically examined for 13 different proteins. Of the 13 proteins, only phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) proved to be a reliable biochemical marker for the distinction of genetically pure samples of the two species. Only PGI provided an accurate means of identifying F1 hybrids between the species. This information could possibly be used to facilitate the stabilization and restoration of native populations of west-slope cutthroat trout in western Montana. Key words: rainbow trout, west-slope cutthroat trout, hybridization, electrophoresis, biochemical marker, phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI)

The upstream orientation and frequency of upstream movement of ripe male rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) in the presence of ovarian fluid obtained from spawning females of the same species were observed and quantified. In a stream tank, male trout moved upstream in the ovarian fluid odor plume. In an optomotor tank, male trout exhibited an increase in the frequency of upstream orientation and movement in the presence of diffuse, nondirectional ovarian fluid. It is concluded that water currents provide directional cues and olfactory stimuli regulate the orientational and kinetic components of the rheotropic response. The significance of this mechanism of orientation in fish migration is discussed. Key words: rheotropism, behavior, olfaction, orientation, migration, ovarian fluid

Tests For Association

Transferrin (Tf) phenotype was associated with weight gain in 147- and 230-day-old rainbow trout, but no association was found between lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) phenotype and weight gain. A total of 2038 progeny were examined from two different environments. Progeny lots were reared at densities below those known to affect mean fish weights. Differential survival among progeny with respect to their Tf of LDH phenotype was not detected.

More tainting was found on the left than on the right side of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) that were exposed to a kraft pulp mill "foul condensate." This sidedness was deduced from the results of the triangle taste test used to detect differences between exposed and control fish, and was observed when the tainting was moderate, in the range of effluent concentrations of 0.015–0.046% by volume. Key words: fish, tainting, taste, rainbow trout.

Iodine balance was studied in immature rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) held at 12 °C in water of iodine content 1.85 μg/L and fed daily 1% of body weight with food containing 0.48 μg I/g. Iodide flux into the plasma pool was 148 ng I∙h−1∙100 g−1 of which < 1% was contributed by peripheral deiodination of thyroid hormones, up to 16% was obtained from the diet, and at least 84% was derived from the water. Less than 5% of iodide intake was required to satisfy thyroidal secretory demands. Testosterone injections elevated plasma iodide and protein levels, but did not alter the rate of plasma iodide turnover. Key words: trout, iodine balance, thyroid function, testosterone
