Effects of various metals on behavior of conditioned goldfish
Journal Article

· Arch. Environ. Health; (United States)
A conditional avoidance technique was utilized to assess the deleterious effect of four metal ions in the aquatic environment of fish. All test ions, arsenic, lead, mercury, and selenium impaired performance at concentrations below the lethal concentration for 1% (LC1). Mercury was the most potent, producing measureable effects at 0.003 ppm. Behavioral toxicity techniques are suggested as useful in setting water quality standards.
