Behavioral reactions of fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) to a coal liquid water-soluble fraction
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6707198
If mobile organisms like fish can detect and avoid a toxic substance, particularly one released following an accidental spill, species survival may be insured. For this reason, some investigators include avoidance trials when conducting screen bioassays to assess potential environmental effects of a pollutant. Our laboratory study was designed to determine the behavioral response of fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) to sublethal and lethal concentrations of a coal liquid water-soluble fraction (WSF).
