Chlorine sensitivity of early life stages of freshwater fish

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5394562
To determine the toxicity of chlorine to the most sensitive life stages of fish, we developed a flow-through system suitable for measuring the acute toxicity to all life stages of fish, from 1-h old embryos to 256-d old fingerlings, and then measured LC50 values for free residual chlorine to three species of fish at various life stages. 14 refs., 5 figs., 2 tabs.
