Abstract
Studies were made on the tissue levels of sulfonamides in trout. The tissue concentrations of sulfamerazine were determined in brook trout given various doses of this drug. It has been found also that there exists a relationship between the rate of feeding, depending on the size of trout, and the tissue concentration of sulfamerazine. The level of sulfamerazine rose much faster and higher in blood and liver than in kidney and muscle. However, after the treatment was discontinued sulfamerazine level in all tissues dropped within 3 days to about 1 milligram percent. From the tested sulfonamides, sulfanilamide was absorbed fastest and produced highest tissue concentration. Sulfamerazine and sulfamethazine gave similar tissue levels, but the tissue concentration rose faster with sulfamerazine. Sulfadiazine and sulfaguanidine reached lower tissue levels. The tissue level of sulfathiazole was less than 1 milligram percent and sulfathalidine and sulfaquinoxaline were not absorbed from the intestine at all.
