Sublethal Effects of JP-4 on Lepomis macrochirus

During the research project to investigate the sublethal effects of the water soluble fraction (WSF) of JP-4, a constant flow water soluble fractionator for the JP-4 was constructed. Procedures for chemical analyses to determine the percent of the WSF were developed and used. Static and dynamic bioa...

Zusammenfassung:During the research project to investigate the sublethal effects of the water soluble fraction (WSF) of JP-4, a constant flow water soluble fractionator for the JP-4 was constructed. Procedures for chemical analyses to determine the percent of the WSF were developed and used. Static and dynamic bioassays were performed using the bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus. Blood chemistry tests were performed on control and exposed fish, Electron micrographs were taken of gill and liver tissue from control and exposed fish. Equipment and protocols were developed for measurement of respiration rates and preference/avoidance behavior of fish exposed to sublethal concentrations of the WSF of JP-4.
