Abstract Alevins of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) were less sensitive to vanadium than were yearlings, the 96-h LC50 being 24 and 7 mg V/L, respectively. "Lethal thresholds" were not attained during alevin exposures for 33 days and yearling fish exposures for 12 days. Vanadium solutions were also rendered less toxic by the addition of sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide, suggesting that a toxic effect of vanadium is an increased loss of electrolytes from membrane surfaces.
