Abstract: The concentration and persistence of residues of the anesthetic quinaldine in five species of both coldwater and warmwater fishes were measured following treatment with the new formulation quinaldine sulfate. Quinaldine accumulated in relation to increasing temperature, treatment concentration, and length of exposure. Initial residues were higher in warmwater species than in salmonids. Although a wide range of residue concentrations occurred immediately after exposure, these residues are dissipated rapidly when the fish are placed in fresh water. All fish tested after 24 hours of withdrawl in freshwater contained 0.01 microgram/gram or less of quinaldine residue with the exception of the rainbow trout treated at 7 degrees Centigrade. |
