Notes:
The concentration of copper which caused 50% mortality of bluegill in 96 h (96-h LC50) was between 4 and 16 ppm of the metal, copper. During the 6–8 day treatment period, sublethal concentrations of copper elicited a hypoactive locomotor response which was dependent on both concentration and time of exposure. Fish treated in 0.04, 0.08 and 0.4 ppm of copper were only 67, 61 and 44% as active, respectively, as they were prior to treatment. Locomotor activity decreased dramatically during the first 4 days of exposure to copper and remained low during further exposure.
