Acute toxicity to juvenile Pacific salmonids of Garlon 3A super(TM), Garlon 4 super(TM), triclopyr, triclopyr ester, and their transformation products: 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol and 2-methoxy-3,5,6-trichloropyridine

Garlon 3A super(TM) and Garlon 4 super(TM) , are used for the control of broadleaf vegetation. The use of Garlon herbicides for conifer release in coastal British Columbia may result in the unintentional introduction of triclopyr and its degradation products into waterbodies inhabited by salmonids....

Description
Summary:Garlon 3A super(TM) and Garlon 4 super(TM) , are used for the control of broadleaf vegetation. The use of Garlon herbicides for conifer release in coastal British Columbia may result in the unintentional introduction of triclopyr and its degradation products into waterbodies inhabited by salmonids. The objective of this study was to evaluate the acute toxicity of formulated and technical triclopyr and its transformation products to juvenile salmonids of the Pacific Northwest.
