TLDR
In general, enzyme activity was strongly reduced by heavy metal inorganic cations; less strongly by organometallic cations, some anions, and certain pesticides; and weakly inhibited by light metal cations and Organometallic and organic compounds.About:

A Critical Review of the Literature on Hydrogen Sulfide Toxicity
TL;DR: This review of the literature is intended as an evaluative report rather than an annotated bibliography of all the source material examined on hydrogen sulfide, noting information gaps that may require further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of chronic sublethal exposure to waterborne Cu, Cd or Zn in rainbow trout. 1: Iono-regulatory disturbance and metabolic costs.
TL;DR: The physiological response of trout to chronic Cu exposure involves mechanisms that result in an associated metabolic cost, but Cd is neither a loading nor a limiting stress and acclimation to chronic Cd-exposure does not appear to involve a long term metabolic cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
The fish gill: site of action and model for toxic effects of environmental pollutants.
TL;DR: The epithelial transport steps which are affected in the fish gill model resemble those described in the human gut and kidney, sites of action of a variety of environmental toxins.

Toward a better understanding of the bioavailability, physiology, and toxicity of silver in fish: Implications for water quality criteria
Christer Hogstrand,Chris M. Wood +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the toxicity of silver (Ag+) was investigated in a bioassays with freshwater and seawater fish and it was concluded that present regulatory standards for silver can be much improved by taking into account the important geochemical modifiers of silver toxicity, including complexation of Ag+ by chloride, dissolved organic carbon, and sulfide.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanism of acute silver nitrate toxicity in freshwater rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is inhibition of gill Na+ and Cl−1 transport
TL;DR: A disturbance of branchial ionoregulation, as a result of inhibition of branchIAL enzymes involved in ion transport, is the principal mechanism of the physiological toxicity of silver nitrate to freshwater fish.
