Abstract
In this study, acute toxicity of four pesticides (diazinon, iprodione, fenproparthrin, and myclobutanil) to Chinese bleak, Aphyocypris chinensis, and to study their adverse effects were conducted in static systems. The 96-hr $LC_{50}$ values were determined, as well as 95% confidence limits. The 96-hr $LC_{50}$ values of these chemicals derived for Chinese bleak were rank ordered from the most toxic to the least toxic technicals as follows: Fenproparthrin (0.003 mg $L^{-1}$)>Myclobutanil (9.1 mg $L^{-1}$)>Diazinon (14.1 mg $L^{-1}$)>Iprodione (31.8 mg $L^{-1}$), The data presented in this study indicate the acute toxicity tests carried out on only one fish species may lead to erroneous determination of water quality criteria and classification of test chemicals for environmental management and regulatory purpose. Therefore, more studies comparing the susceptibility of a variety of fish species to various toxicants are needed.
