The toxicity to bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus, Rafinesque, of granular formulations of ten commercial herbicides is presented. The following chemicals are included: three esters of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid; potassium salt of 2- (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) propionic acid; disodium salt of 3,6-endoxohexahydrophthalic acid; a mixture of the latter two materials; 2,3,6-trichlorophenylacetic acid; 2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid; isopropyl n- (3-chlorophenyl) carbamate; and 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile. The difference in the median tolerance limit of bluegill sunfish to liquid and...
