Call, D., L. Brooke, AND R. Kent. TOXICITY, BIOCONCENTRATION, AND METABOLISM OF FIVE HERBICIDES IN FRESHWATER FISH. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/3-83/096 (NTIS PB83263681), 1983.

Description:

Acute and early life-stage toxicities were determined for the herbicides alachlor, bromacil, dinoseb, diuron, and propanil with the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas). Uptake, bioconcentration potential, and elimination of 14C-labeled herbicides were studied in the same species. In vivo metabolism of radiolabeled herbicides was determined with rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) and fathead minnows as test organisms. In vitro metabolism was studied with rainbow trout liver homogenates.
