Exposure to acid-treated water (H2SO4, pH 4.76) for 21 d increased plasma glucose, protein, and cortisol levels and interrenal nuclear diameter and decreased plasma electrolytes (Na+, Cl−) and osmolality in immature rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). Plasma L-thyroxine (T4), 3,5,3′-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3), or their ratio (T4:T3) were not altered by the acid treatment. Following termination of acid exposure, return to control levels was achieved within 1 d by plasma protein, 3 d by plasma cortisol, glucose, sodium, chloride, and osmolality, and 7 d by interrenal nuclear diameter. Thus, within 1 wk the studied aspects of the plasma fluid compartment had recovered from the effects of acid exposure.
