Abstract
⺠Brown trout were exposed in situ to a gradient of pH and Ali in humic streams. ⺠pH above 5.0 and Ali below 20 μg/L sustain healthy brown trout populations. ⺠Low pH resulted in a tendency to decreased blood chloride levels. ⺠High Ali increased gill Al and haemoglobin suggesting that respiration was effected. ⺠The thresholds can be used to support liming strategies in recovering freshwaters.
