Detailed Description

Species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) of fish Antimycin-A toxicity values from ≤ 96 h duration studies. SSDs were produced using non-pH normalized toxicity values for each duration. Black dots represent a species geometric mean consisting of a single toxicity value. Red dots represent a species geometric mean consisting of two or more toxicity values, and the blue horizontal bar represents the range of toxicity values per species.

Antimycin A species sensitivity distribution: Perspectives for non-indigenous fish control

The global transfer of aquatic biota outside their native geographical range has resulted in dramatic changes to biological communities. Many nonnative species introductions are facilitated by human activity and then spread intra-continentally through connected watersheds once established. Resource managers therefore utilize multiple control technologies, such as management chemicals, for fisherie

Reducing Animal Use in Ecotoxicity Testing and Biomonitoring

The Department of the Interior (DOI) generates scientific information needed to support the conservation and management of the nation’s natural resources. This includes conducting ecotoxicological research and testing. These activities may involve the biomonitoring of contaminants in the environment, conducting environmental damage assessments (for example, after an oil spill), and analyzing new...
