Acute toxicity of ten chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons to the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas)

96-hr LC50s from flow-through bioassays to determine the toxicity of 10 chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons to fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas), are presented. Fathead minnows were more resistant than Daphnia magna, though based on published data invertebrates are generally more sensitive to thes...

Summary:96-hr LC50s from flow-through bioassays to determine the toxicity of 10 chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons to fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas), are presented. Fathead minnows were more resistant than Daphnia magna, though based on published data invertebrates are generally more sensitive to these chemicals.
