TLDR
Toxicity to fish (rainbow trout or minnows) of solutions of several pure substances has been measured under controlled conditions.Abstract:
Toxicity to fish (rainbow trout or minnows) of solutions of several pure substances has been measured under controlled conditions. The substances (sodium arsenite, sodium arsenate, sodium picrate, sodium dinitrophenate, zinc sulphate, potassium chromate, potassium dichromate, ammonium chloride, and ammonium sulphate) were dissolved in distilled water, in Watford tap water, or in mixtures of distilled water and tap water.read more

Sylvia S. Talmage,Dennis M. Opresko,C. J. Maxwell,C. J. E. Welsh,F. M. Cretella,P. H. Reno,F. B. Daniel +6 more
TL;DR: Comparing the occurrence, transport, transformation, and toxicity of eight nitroaromatic munition compounds and their degradation products indicates that the white-footed mouse may be more resistant to the toxic effects of chemicals than the laboratory rat and may further indicate the lesser sensitivity of wildlife species to chemical insult.

Toxicity of zinc compounds to aquatic animals, with special reference to fish.
TL;DR: The toxicity of zinc compounds to aquatic animals is modified by several environmental factors, particularly the hardness of the dilution water, the dissolved oxygen concentration, and temperature, and the resistance of aquatic animals to zinc poisoning varies with species.

Phenolics in aquatic ecosystems: A selected review of recent literature
TL;DR: The effects of pentachlorophenol on blood glucose and blood lactate levels, and in vivo and in vitro activity levels of seven liver enzymes of eels are discussed, and factors affecting the loss of phenolics from aquatic ecosystems include photolysis, adsorption and dilution.
