Abstract Several estuarine animals were exposed to sodium pentachlorophenate (Na-PCP), in flowthrough toxicity tests. The following are test animals and their 96-hour LC50 values; grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio), >515 micrograms/l; brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus), >195 micrograms/l; longnose killifish (Fundulus similis), >306 micrograms/l; pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides), 53.2 micrograms/l; and striped mullet (Mugil cephalus), 112 micrograms/l. The 192-hour EC50 (effect measured was shell deposition) for the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) was 76.5 micrograms/l. Eastern oysters exposed to Na-PCP concentrations of 25.0 and 2.5 micrograms/l accumulated the chemical in their tissues an average of 41 and 78 times, respectively. After Na-PCP delivery was discontinued, however, the oysters purged themselves of the pesticide within four days.
