The Determination of the Swimming Performance of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Under the Effect of Detergent

摘要

Detergent residues can lead to continuous damage in the cell membranes and make them become sensitive to the harmful effects of other toxic substances and infection factors. In this study, the behavioral responses of rainbow trout have been studied at the end of 21 days, where they have been exposed to different concentrations of Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS). In the fish which have been exposed to two different doses of SDS material, the swimming performance has been examined for behavior analysis with emphasis on critical swimming speed. The effect of SDS on critical swimming speed has been found to be significant (p <0.05).
