title: Gill metabolism after chronic subacute zinc treatments.
abstract: ATP and lactate concentration of the gill tissue of Scyliorhinus canicula were determined after short-term and long-term subacute zinc exposure. Increase of lactate and decrease of ATP levels were detected after short-term exposure, while no significant changes were observed after long-term treatment, suggesting a recovery process or an activation of compensatory mechanisms.
