【 摘 要 】

The present study tested the biological consequences of exposure to a multimetal mixture as a multiple chemical stressor on Oncorhynchus mykiss at molecular, cellular, physiological and whole-organism levels and on biomarker responses of this fish during the depuration period. To represent environmentally relevant multiple chemical stressors, in our study, we used the mixture of Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb and Cd at the concentrations corresponding to Maximum-Permissible-Concentrations (MPCs) acceptable for the EU inland waters. This study was undertaken with a view to elucidate if changes in the MPC of the test mixture components (Ni, Pb, Cd) could cause significantly different biomarker responses in O. mykiss from those previously determined in the carnivorous and omnivorous fishes exposed to the mixture of the same metals but at different MPCs of Ni, Pb and Cd. This study has revealed that exposure to mixtures of metals at MPC produces genotoxic effects in fish blood erythrocytes and a lethargic effect on O. mykiss behaviour, and, also, significantly increases the levels of Cd, Cr and Ni accumulated in the gills tissue. O. mykiss successfully depurated Cr and Ni in less than 28 days, however, the level of Cd decreased by only approximately 40% over the same period. A significant capacity of O. mykiss to restore its DNA integrity (Comet assay) after exposure to metal mixtures was revealed. However, the 28-day recovery period proved to be insufficiently long for erythrocytes with nuclear abnormalities to recover to the unexposed level. In conclusion, changes in the MPCs of Ni, Pb and Cd in the test mixture produce biological effects similar to those previously determined in S. salar, R. rutilus and P. fluviatilis exposed to the mixture of the same metals but at lower MPCs of Ni and Pb and at higher MPC of Cd.
