Acute and chronic toxicity of copper to the fathead minnow in a surface water of variable quality
TLDR
Tests conducted with the fathead minnow and copper used as the source of dilution water a natural stream to which a sewage treatment plant upstream contributed a variety of materials known to affect acute copper toxicity found the maximum acceptable toxicant concentration was between 0.066 and 0.118 mg l−1.About:

The effects of water chemistry on the toxicity of copper to fathead minnows
TL;DR: The effects of various water chemistry parameters on the toxicity of copper to larval fathead minnows were investigated in this paper, where the effects of water chemistry were found to be similar for different endpoints (growth, survival at different durations).

Toxicity of mercury, copper, nickel, lead, and cobalt to embryos and larvae of zebrafish,Brachydanio rerio
Göran Dave,Ruiqin Xiu +1 more
TL;DR: Copper and nickel were more specific inhibitors of hatching than cobalt, lead, and mercury and are consistent with previously reported MATC values for sensitive species of fish.

The growth response in fish chronic and early life stage toxicity tests: A critical review
TL;DR: The conclusion is that the growth response could be deleted from routine applications of the fish early life stage test, which would be a significant reduction in the duration and cost of screening tests with no appreciable impact on estimating MATCs for chemical hazard assessments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of inorganic complexing on the toxicity of copper to Daphnia magna
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of carbonate-bicarbonate, orthophosphate, and pyrophosphate on the toxicity of copper (II) to Daphnia magna were studied at constant pH and total hardness.

Effects of copper, pH and hardness on the critical swimming performance of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri Richardson)
K.G. Waiwood,F.W.H. Beamish +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, critical swimming velocities of Salmo gairdneri at 12°C were determined in different combinations of copper; pH and hardness Measurements were made after exposure for 05, 5, 10, and 30 days when copper was not applied, hardness, pH and exposure time had no appreciable effect on critical performance.

Standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater
TL;DR: The most widely read reference in the water industry, Water Industry Reference as discussed by the authors, is a comprehensive reference tool for water analysis methods that covers all aspects of USEPA-approved water analysis.

A simplified dosing apparatus for fish toxicology studies
TL;DR: A simplified diluter for maintaining a series of constant concentrations of a material in flowing water is described in this article, which depends on water flows, metering cells, and venturi tubes to proportion volumes of water and toxicant to give desired concentrations.

A Method for Establishing Acceptable Toxicant Limits for Fish—Malathion and the Butoxyethanol Ester of 2,4-D
TL;DR: In this article, two 10-month exposures of malathion and butoxyethanol ester of 2,4-D under continuous-flow conditions were made to determine the effect of these pesticides on reproduction and growth of fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas Rafinesque.

Effects of Long-Term Exposures to Copper on Survival, Growth, and Reproduction of Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis)
J. M. McKim,D. A. Benoit +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that effects of copper on alevins–juveniles from unexposed parents apparently are no different than the effects on a levins– juvenile fish from parents exposed to copper.
