Acute and chronic toxicity of hydrogen sulfide to the fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas

Toxic effects of molecular hydrogen sulfide to eggs, fry, and juveniles of the fathead minnow pimephales promelas rafinesque are determined in flow-through bioassays. Fry are about twice as sensitive as juveniles are. Acute toxicity to juvenile fish is greatly changed by temperature. Effects on wild...

Description
Summary:Toxic effects of molecular hydrogen sulfide to eggs, fry, and juveniles of the fathead minnow pimephales promelas rafinesque are determined in flow-through bioassays. Fry are about twice as sensitive as juveniles are. Acute toxicity to juvenile fish is greatly changed by temperature. Effects on wild stock juveniles and on a laboratory cultured stock are described.
