- Abstract
The article discusses the study to evaluate the chronic toxicity of lithium chloride to the early life stages of the fish fathead minnow. The study was conducted in accordance with the standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the American Society for Testing and Materials. The fish embryos were obtained from a commercial supplier and the laboratory water was obtained from the Lake Huron. A diluter system designed to provide up to six test concentrations and a laboratory water control was used during the study. Results show that the survival rate was 97.5 % within the range specified in the guidelines. There was a minimal difference in the number of larvae that survived, proving that the larvae were either lethally affected or not affected at all.
