This project was undertaken as a part of the OTEC environmental studies plan on the toxicity of OTEC working fluids to marine organisms. Ammonia and chlorine were chosen as they pose the greatest potential environmental threat. Acute and chronic bioassays determined the LT/sub 50/, LC/sub 50/ and the behavior of mullet (Mugil cephalus), sargassum shrimp (Latreutes fucorum) and filefish (Monocanthus hispidus).
