The results of this study indicate that exposure of rainbow trout to 0.06 portion of the 96-hour LC50 of Cu+Zn ions mixture induced a six-fold decrease in the abundance of total heterotrophic bacteria in digestive tract of rainbow trout.

The concentration of Cu that kills 50% of larvae (LC50) and the concentration of Cu that causes 50% inhibition of normal larval development (EC50) were determined by probit analysis (piecewise linear regression analysis) using measured concentrations of dissolved Cu at the beginning of the experiment (t = 0).
