Uptake of 106Ru by eggs and fry of rainbow trout.

The experimental studies on uptake and accumulation of 106Ru by artificially fertilized eggs, advanced fry and fingerlings of rainbow trout have been conducted. The accumulation in the egg previously treated with drugs for control of bacterial growth on the egg was more rapid and higher than that in non-treated egg. The major part of 106Ru in the egg was associated with the egg capsule on hatching. The accumulation in the fry increased with growth and the transfer through alimentary tracts with development of digestive organs was observed.
