Fitzsimmons, P N., A D. Hoffman, D E. Hammermeister, G J. Lien, AND J. W. Nichols. UPTAKE AND ELIMINATION OF DICHLOROACETIC ACID BY RAINBOW TROUT. Presented at 2002 SETAC Annual Meeting, Salt Lake City, UT, November 16-20, 2002.
Description:
Dichloroacetic acid (DCA) is a by-product of drinking water chlorination and is a hepatocarcinogen in rodents. Preliminary results of a chronic testing effort with Japanese medaka suggest the possibility of similar effects is fish. Adult rainbow trout were cannulated from the dorsal aorta, fitted with a urine catheter, and placed in respirometer-metaabolism chambers. A latex membrane separating inspired and expired water allowed for a direct measurement of chemical flux accros the gills.
