Sensitivity of Young Striped Bass to Organic and Inorganic Contaminants in Fresh and Saline Waters

摘要: Abstract The toxicity to young striped bass Morone saxatilis of a contaminant mixture composed organic and inorganic chemicals was determined in fresh saline waters when the fish were 35–80 d old. Decreases water hardness associated decreases alkalinity pH increased mixture. This increase attributed changes speciation differing qualities. Under standard conditions for acute tests, cadmium, copper, zinc, nickel, chromium more toxic soft than slightly water. Overall, as sensitive most salmonid species seven three insecticides, much cyprinids, ictalurids, centrarchids that have been tested.
