| Abstract | Rainbow trout embryos and larvae were continuously exposed, in a flow-through system, to 0, 0.1 µg/l (measured=0.098±0.002 µg/l) or 1.0 µg/l (measured=0.853±0.022 µg/l) total silver (as AgNO3) in moderately hard water (120 mg CaCO3/l, 0.70 mM Cl–, 1.3 mg/l dissolved organic matter and 13.7±0.1 °C) from fertilization to 1 week post-hatch. The objectives of the study were to investigate the effects of chronic silver exposure on mortality, time to hatch and growth, and on sublethal physiological indicators of toxicity. Exposure to 1.0 µg/l total silver resulted in a small, but statistically significant, increase in mortality (16%) relative to controls (12%) but interestingly, resulted in an increased rate of growth (as indicated by larval weight, length and extractable protein) and ionoregulatory development over the duration of this study. Whole body unidirectional Na+ uptake (JinNa+) increased with silver exposure concentration (both 0.1 µg/l and 1.0 µg/l total silver) just prior to and following hatch, with up to a three-fold elevation in JinNa+ in the 1.0 µg/l treatment relative to controls. Qualitatively similar changes in whole body Na+,K+-ATPase activity (per mg protein or per whole embryo or larvae) also occurred over this period. By 1 week post-hatch, there were no differences in JinNa+ among treatments and Na+,K+-ATPase activity levels in silver exposed groups were significantly reduced relative to controls. Within 2 days following hatch, there was an elevation in whole larval ammonia levels, while cortisol levels were elevated at 1 week post-hatch in the 1.0 µg/l treatment relative to controls. Ionoregulatory disturbance and elevations in both cortisol and ammonia have also been observed during acute silver exposure in adult rainbow trout, indicating that chronic and acute mechanisms of toxicity may be similar. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
