Researchers at University of Exeter and King's College London have found that a population of brown trout is able to survive in the waters of River Hayle in Cornwall even though the water is so contaminated that the metal concentration kills off fish from unpolluted sites. The team believe this is due to changes in the expression of their genes. The research was funded by NERC and the Salmon and Trout Association.

Researchers Find Brown Trout Able to Tolerate Heavily Polluted Waters
