Abstract
Concentrations of molybdenum in tissues of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) from three waters increased only slightly with increase in molybdenum concentration of the water. Fish from high (300 ppb) molybdenum water had mean concentrations of 13–332 ppb on a wet-weight basis; those from low (6 ppb) molybdenum water, 10–146 ppb; and those from trace molybdenum water, 5–118 ppb. Rainbow trout exhibited generally higher molybdenum concentrations than did kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in high molybdenum water. A possible plateau mechanism concerning molybdenum accumulation by salmonids is discussed.
