Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Rainbow trout were fed the commercial diets Oregon Moist, Glencoe, Silver Cup, or Ewos, and synthetic diets containing 23% or 45% protein. After feeding the diets for 42 days, chlordane was tested against rainbow trout in static toxicity tests. LC50s (96-hr) for chlordane were 8.2, 9.1, 20, 31, 29 and 47 μg/1 for the groups fed Oregon Moist, Glencoe, Silver Cup, Ewos diets and synthetic diets that contained 23 and 45% protein, respectively. The LC50 for the group fed the 45% protein diet was statistically (P=0.05) different from the values for all the other groups. Also, the values differed among groups fed commercial diets.
