Salmo gairdneri specimens were exposed for 6 months to low concentrations of Cr, Cd, Ni, and their mixture. Treated animals, particularly males, showed an impairment in glucidic metabolism, a modification in lysosomal function, and alterations in gill sialic acid content. Some of these alterations persist in males after 3 month recovery, with only exception for Ni - treated animals. A connection between sex, seasonal cycle, and biochemical response to metal pollution was observed.
