Handbook of Acute Toxicity of Chemicals to Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates

摘要

This handbook is a compilation of results of toxicity tests on fish and aquatic invertebrates conducted at the Columbia National Fisheries Research Laboratory in 1965-78. These studies include 1,587 acute toxicity tests on 271 chemicals against 28 species of fish and 30 species of invertebrates. This Handbook was produced (1) as a reference source for scientists and resource managers and (2) a contribution to the database essential to establishing water quality criteria and to establishing potential environmental impacts of chemicals.
