An extensive review of the literature with 353 references dealing with the toxicity of inorganic and organic pollutants, and industrial and municipal effluents on fish is presented. Indices of water quality such as dissolved gases and pH were discussed. A very detailed summary with over 200 entries of the acute and chronic toxicity of inorganic and organic pollutants to freshwater fish is presented as a table.(KRM)
