Acute toxic responses to bleached kraft pulpmill effluent were compared for groups of underyearling rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) reared under constant temperature and either a summer (16L:8D) or winter (8L:16D) photoperiod. Toxicity tests included a 96-h LC50 bioassay, a 4.5-h sealed-jar test, an 18-h temperature tolerance test, and a 4-h blood-sugar stress bioassay. For all tests the threshold-effect concentration of effluent was not affected by photoperiod. Median effective concentrations for the blood-sugar, temperature tolerance, and sealed-jar tests were, respectively, < 0.2, 0.4, and ~1.4 times the 96-h LC50 value for each fish group. Key words: Salmo gairdneri, photoperiod, BKME, acute toxicity tests, LC50, blood sugar, temperature tolerance, residual oxygen

Introduction. Experimental induction of altered histology by chemical toxins is of particular importance if its outcome resembles histopathological phenomena. Hepatotoxic drugs and chemicals are agents that can be converted by the liver into various metabolites which consequently evoke toxic responses. Very often, these drugs are intentionally administered to resolve an illness unrelated to liver function. Because of hepatic detoxification, the resulting metabolites are suggested to be integrated into the macromolecular processes of liver function and cause an array of cellular and tissue alterations, such as increased cytoplasmic lysis, centrilobular and localized necroses, chronic inflammation and “foam cell” proliferation of the hepatic sinusoids (1-4).Most experimentally drug-induced toxicity studies have concentrated primarily on the hepatic response, frequently overlooking other physiological phenomena which are directly related to liver function. Categorically, many studies have been short-term effect investigations which seldom have followed up the complications to other tissues and organs when the liver has failed to function normally.
