The purpose of this research was to determine the dose-lethality relationship for eggs and fry from adult female rainbow trout, exposed, chronically to ecologically-relevant, waterborne concentrations of 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro dibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD); determine the rate constants for uptake, disposition, and depuration tissue distribution and bioconcentration factor of 2,3,7,8-TCDD in adult rainbow trout; and to use this information in conjunction with the concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD in eggs of salmonid fishes from the Great Lakes; in a hazard assessment to determine the hazard of presently existing and potential future concentrations of 2,3,7,8-TCDD to salmonid fish reproduction.
