The sublethal and lethal effects of chlorine-produced oxidants (CPO) on juveniles of the estuarine teleost, Leiostomus xanthurus, were investigated in flowing water tests conducted at 30 +- 1/sup 0/C and 26 to 31% salinity. Short-term LT50 tests were conducted at two nominal concentrations of NaOCl, 1.0 and 1.4 mg/l (respective measured CPO concentrations 0.09 and 0.12 mg/l) which were sublethal in 2880 minute exposures; and three nominal concentrations, 1.6, 1.8 and 3.2 mg/l NaOCl (respective measured CPO concentrations 0.13, 0.20 and 0.37 mg/l) which were acutely toxic.
