Abstract

To determine the susceptibility of five common Lithuanian fish species to acute zinc poisoning, laboratory experiments were done. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus), roach (Rutilus rutilus), perch (Percafluviatilis), and dace were among the species studied (Leuciscus leuciscus). Other species were caught in natural waterways, whereas rainbow trout was acquired from a fish farm. The experiments were carried out in the lab under flowthrough circumstances, with each species receiving two tests.
