Pickering, Q H

Chromotoxicity of nickel to the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas Rafinesque) was determined while obtaining acute toxicity data to be used in calculating an application factor for nickel. Criteria for toxicity were effects on survival, growth and reproduction. The application factor was estimated by using the maximum acceptable toxicant concentration of the chronic test and the 96-hr TL50 of the acute toxicity bioassay.
