Renal Excretion in Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) after Acute Exposure to 3-Trifluoromethyl-4-Nitrophenol

Abstract

Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) exposed to an acute, sublethal concentration of 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) exhibited an increased output of urine when compared with controls, but the urinary excretion of Na, K, Ca, Mg, and Cl was not affected. About 35 times more conjugated TFM than free TFM was excreted during the 24-h study period.
