Abstract Multiple regression analyses were conducted to establish the relationship between survival time, body weight, and effective concentration for different sex and age populations of the bluegill sunfish exposed to copper solutions. For the same unit of effective concentration adjusted with size factor, the survival times of age-0 males, age-0 females, age-1 males and age-1 females were, respectively, 2.77, 2.88, 4.20 and 6.30 times that of the juveniles; susceptibility to the toxic effect of copper decreased from small to large, young to old, and male to female.
