A 46-day exposure examined the effects of metals contamination in a live natural freshwater diet on rainbow trout fry. Survival, growth, and whole-body tissue metals were compared among groups of trout fed live planktonic invertebrates (primarily Daphnia pulex) collected from the Clark Fork River (CFR), Montana and trout fed live laboratory-reared D. pulex. Metals of interest in the diets were As, Cu, Cd, Pb, and Zn. In addition to dietary exposure, treatments included simultaneous exposure to a mixture of waterborne metals (Cu, Cd, Pb, and Zn) at sublethal concentrations. Trout showed no statistically significant effects on survival or growth from mean CFR invertebrate metal concentrations of 20.1 mg As/kg dwt, 60.7 mg Cu/kg dwt, 4.0 mg Cd/kg dwt, 4.9 mg Pb/kg dwt, and 249 mg Zn/kg dwt. Waterborne and dietary Cd and Pb appeared to result in increased tissue concentrations of these metals, while only dietary As resulted in increased tissue As. Neither dietary nor waterborne copper or zinc had a substantial effect on tissue levels of these metals. Results were consistent, in terms of the lack of statistically significant growth and survival effects, with those of previous in-house studies exposing rainbow trout to metals-enriched Artemia sp. (brine shrimp) diets.
