Minimising aerobic respiratory demands could form the basis to sub-lethal copper tolerance by rainbow trout gill epithelial cells in vitro

• Mechanisms of Cu tolerance were investigated in respiratory epithelial cell cultures, from rainbow trout gills, by studying O-2 consumption and protein synthesis rates, intracellular Na concentration and TER. The lowest concentration found to reduce O-2 c
