| Creator | Macphee, Craig; Norman, Dennis |
| Date | 1969-01-01 |
| Subject | bioassay; fish (cyprinid) (minnow or pike family); toxicity; fish physiology; water quality; bioassay indicators |
| Description | Seventeen toxic chemicals were bioassayed to investigate the possibility of measurable physiological responses to death in northern squawfish. Lethal indices, dependent upon concentration and temperature for each chemical, in terms of time between loss of equilibrium and death, were established. The physiological process of suffocation caused by the action of heavy metals and organic compounds of lactic acid formaldehyde, and p-nitrophenol was identifiable and unaffected by concentration or... |
