Acute and chronic toxicity of nickel to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

Abstract:

:Of the fish species tested in chronic Ni exposures, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is the most sensitive. To develop additional Ni toxicity data and to investigate the toxic mode of action for Ni, we conducted acute (96-h) and chronic (85-d early life-stage) flow-through studies using rainbow trout. In addition to standard toxicological endpoints, we investigated the effects of Ni on ionoregulatory physiology (Na, Ca, and Mg). The acute median lethal concentration for Ni was 20.8 mg/L, and the 24-h gill median lethal accumulation was 666 nmol/g wet weight. No effects on plasma Ca, Mg, or Na were observed during acute exposure. In the chronic study, no significant effects on embryo survival, swim-up, hatching, or fingerling survival or growth were observed at dissolved Ni concentrations up to 466 microg/L, the highest concentration tested. This concentration is considerably higher than the only other reported chronic no-observed-effect concentration (<33 microg/L) for rainbow trout. Accumulation of Ni in trout eggs indicates the chorion is only a partial barrier with 36%, 63%, and 1% of total accumulated Ni associated with the chorion, yolk, and embryo, respectively. Whole-egg ion concentrations were reduced by Ni exposure. However, most of this reduction occurred in the chorion rather than in the embryos, and no effects on hatching success or larval survival were observed as a result. Plasma ion concentrations measured in swim-up fingerlings at the end of the chronic-exposure period were not significantly reduced by exposure to Ni. Nickel accumulated on the gill in an exponential manner but plateaued in trout plasma at waterborne Ni concentrations of 118 microg/L or greater. Consistent with previous studies, Ni did not appear to disrupt ionoregulation in acute exposures of rainbow trout. Our results also suggest that Ni is not an ionoregulatory toxicant in long-term exposures, but the lack of effects in the highest Ni treatment precludes a definitive conclusion.
