Eighteen-mo feeding trials of rainbow trout were used to test the carcinogenicity of 5 chemicals in this species. A single exposure level was used for each substance. The doses and chemicals tested were 1,556 ppm 2,6-dimethylnitrosomorpholine (DMNM), 500 ppm N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), 2,000 ppm 1,2-dibromoethane (DBE), 2,000 ppm 1,1-dichloroethylene (DCE), and 200 ppm cyclophosphamide (CP). Liver and/or glandular stomach neoplasms were produced by DMNM (liver and stomach), MNNG (stomach), and DBE (chiefly, stomach tumors). In addition, DMNM produced a low incidence of swimbladder papillomas and caused testicular atrophy in 50% of treated males. DCE and CP produced no neoplasms at the exposure levels used. No evidence of other chronic toxicity was seen for any of the 5 compounds.
