Abstract
Adult white perch (Morone americana), acclimated to 15C, were exposed to a series of ozone-produced oxidant (OPO) concentrations for 96 h using continuous flow bioassay techniques. Toxicity were analyzed using both responses surface modeling and standard probit regression. White perch were also exposed to a series of near and sublethal OPO concentrations, selected from the acute toxicity study, for 96 h and then placed in clean non-ozonated water for 14 days. Blood pH, hematocrit and gill histopathology were analyzed during exposure at 24, 48 and 96 h and after 4 and 14 days in the recovery period. Blood pH and hematocrit levels were analyzed statistically using standard ANOVA and multiple range tests. Histopathological effects were examined using both light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
