Highlights: [•] We studied influence of concentration and salinity on bioaccumulation of silver nanoparticles in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). [•] The Ag-NPs were characterized using standard methods. [•] The organisms were exposed to Ag-NPs in three different salinity concentrations, for 14 days in static renewal systems. [•] The bioaccumulation of Ag in the studied tissues was concentration-dependent in all the salinities and its order were liver>kidneys≈gills>white muscles respectively. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
