title: Failure of gas bladder inflation in striped bass: effect on selenium toxicity.
abstract: Young striped bass (Morone saxatilis) with uninflated gas bladders were less sensitive to selenate and more sensitive to selenite exposure than normally developing striped bass in 96-hour acute toxicity tests. Gas bladder inflation failure is a common problem in the culture of striped bass and some other species, and care should be taken to avoid the use of fish with uninflated gas bladders in research.
