    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies a flow-through method for the determination of the acute lethal toxicity of substances soluble in water under specified conditions to a species of freshwater fish (common name, zebra fish) in water of a specified quality. Also applies when using certain other species of freshwater fish as the test organism. Coverage includes apparatus, procedure and test environment. Also includes annexes and diagrams.
