We examined the influence of speciation on the kinetics of silver uptake and depuration in the gills of two freshwater fish, the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) which has high branchial Na(+) and Cl(-) uptake rates and is relatively sensitive to silver, and the European eel (Anguilla anguilla, yellow stage) which has low ion uptake rates and is relatively resistant to silver. Fish previously acclimated to the appropriate chloride level were exposed to 110mAgNO(3) (1.3 microg l(-1), sublethal) for 24 h in synthetic softwater with either low (10 microM) or high (1200 microM) chloride concentration, and then followed over a subsequent 67-day post-exposure period in silver-free water of the same chloride content.
