Details on test conditions:
10 randomly selected specimens of 3-4 wk old larvae were exposed in covered all-glass aquaria containing 1 litre of Dutch Standard Water. Nominal amounts of the test solutions were added only once at the beginning of the experiments. The test were performed singularly with a minimum of 5 concentrations levels having a factorial difference of 1.5. Mortality was recorded after 48 hours.
