Standards for reporting fish toxicity tests

January 1, 1961

The growing impetus of studies on fish and pesticides focuses attention on the need for standardized reporting procedures. Good methods have been developed for laboratory and field procedures in testing programs and in statistical features of assay experiments; and improvements are being made on methods of collecting and preserving fish, invertebrates, and other materials exposed to economic poisons. On the other had, the reporting of toxicity data in a complete manner has lagged behind, and today's literature is little improved over yesterday's with regard to completeness and susceptibility to interpretation.
