Toxicity of some heavy metals (HM), heavy metal model mixture (HMMM), orimulsion, crude
oil and water of some biotopes of Lake Druksiai was evaluated by use of the fish in all stages of
development (embryos, larvae, adult fish). The rainbow trout was very sensitive test-organism to
the effect of different kind pollutants and the most sensitive to the impact of pollutants were fish
at early stages of development i.e. larvae and embryos. The integrated biological parameters of
fish at all stages of development (survival, growth rate, and relative mass increase) were the most
sensitive ones. In accordance with the sensitivity to the impact of heavy metals, animals in the
earliest stages of their development were more sensitive than plants, but the plants in some cases
were more sensitive to heavy metals than adult fish. Therefore, plants as well as animals -
rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) of different life stages, as test-organisms, are
recommended for the inclusion of the complex biotests for the assessment of the impact of heavy
metals. The complex of the most sensitive parameters investigated of rainbow trout can be
successfully used for the water toxicity assessment containing different kind pollutants. The data
obtained let predict the impact of pollution not only to the physiological status of aquatic
organisms but as well as to their survival in natural water bodies.
