Egg hatchability, mean time to hatching, and alevin survival and growth decreased when coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) eggs and alevins were exposed at 12–14 C to 4.4 μg/liter Aroclor 1254 or higher until 4 wk after hatching, and to 15 μg/liter or more until 2 days before hatching. Premature hatching occurred in all egg groups exposed to the PCB. The median survival times of fry exposed to Aroclor 1254–DDT combinations for two wk were similar to those after exposure to the various concentrations of DDT alone. The more rapid reaction time to DDT is suggested as the basis for lack of additive toxicity.

Moving 4–5-in. coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) held in soft (20 ppm CaCO3) water from the relatively light loading density of 0.5 lb/ft3 to 1, 2, or 4 lb/ft3 (density index, DI = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8) caused significant stress as indicated by loss of feeding behavior, but only minimal physiological disturbances, as indicated by lack of hyperglycemia or hypochloremia. However, moving them to 6 or 12 lb/ft3 (DI = 1.2, 2.4) caused significant physiological stress which required at least a week for recovery. Smolting coho salmon were physiologically stressed by population densities of 1 lb/ft3 or more and a subclinical corynebacterial kidney infection was activated. Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) (4–5 in.) were physiologically stressed when moved and held at 1 lb/ft3 or more but retained normal feeding behavior. This indicates that handling and crowding stress will be minimized in softwater areas if densities in fish distribution trucks or in ponds or raceways during disease treatments are held to 0.1–0.5 lb/gal.
