Thiocyanate (SCN-) is released to the aquatic environment as a result of the treatment of cyanide-bearing wastes from precious-metal mining activity. During continuous exposure alevin rainbow trout (1- and 10-day-old) were approximately 90% more tolerant of SCN- than juveniles (2-month-old). Pulse exposure of alevins for periods > or = 48 hr were required before postexposure stress reduced tolerance (by approximately 30%) in the 24-hr period following exposure. In contrast, stressing of juveniles after exposures of > or= 9 hr consistently reduced tolerance by approximately 60%. While coion (K+ or Na+ for SCN- derived from either KSCN or NaSCN) had no influence on SCN- toxicity for alevins, juveniles exhibited reduced tolerance in the presence on Na+. Although sudden death syndrome was apparent in juveniles, none occurred with alevins. Overall, juveniles were less tolerant of SCN- than alevins, possibly because of the enhanced efficiency of SCN- uptake by gill respiration versus the predominantly vitelline membrane respiration of alevins.
