| Abstract | The paper describes a simple continuous-flow toxicant delivery system for use in testing toxicity of dissolved or suspended compounds to aquatic organisms. Its advantages are simplicity, ease of construction, and capacity for high flow rates. The system consists of a glass headbox and diluter box, a toxicant pump, a framework for support, and a system to tubes to deliver a series of toxicant concentrations to the test aquiria. Methods are given for construction and calibration of the system. |
