Toxicity of intermittent chlorination to bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus: interaction with temperature

Toxicity of intermittent chlorination to bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus: interaction with temperature

Concentrations of chlorine that are lethal to bluegill sunfish exposed intermittently in the laboratory are determined. The effect that water temperature has on the lethality of chlorine to the species is studied. The threshold of 0.3 mg/l peak total chlorine observed at which chlorine becomes toxic...

Zusammenfassung:Concentrations of chlorine that are lethal to bluegill sunfish exposed intermittently in the laboratory are determined. The effect that water temperature has on the lethality of chlorine to the species is studied. The threshold of 0.3 mg/l peak total chlorine observed at which chlorine becomes toxic to bluegills is rather distinct.
