Abstract
The toxicity of zinc sulphate to rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii Richardson) has been investigated in waters of different chemical and physical properties. Zinc sulphate was less toxic to rainbow trout in hard water than in soft water; when the log concentration of zinc was plotted against log median period of survival of the fish the dose response curve was linear in a very soft water, and curvilinear in a hard water, approaching an apparent threshold concentration. Solutions of zinc sulphate containing calcium chloride were less toxic than those containing an equivalent concentration of calcium as bicarbonate. An increase in temperature decreased the survival time of rainbow trout in solutions of zinc sulphate in a hard water, but the threshold concentration was not appreciably affected by changes in temperature. A reduction in the dissolved oxygen concentration of the water increased the toxicity of zinc sulphate, but the effect was reduced when the fish were previously acclimatized to the lower oxygen concentration of the test. The cause of death of fish in solutions of zinc sulphate was not by the precipitation of mucus on the gills but probably by damage to the gill epithelium.
