Biological test method : reference method for determining acute lethality using threespine stickleback / Method Development and Applications Unit, Science and Technology Branch, Environment and Climate...: En49-7/1-10-2017E-PDF

"Explicit standard or reference methods for measuring the acute lethal toxicity of effluents to marine or estuarine threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) are described in this report. Specific instructions are provided for performing acute lethality tests with effluent samples having a salinity of > 10 g/kg discharging directly to estuarine or marine receiving waters. This second edition report replaces the first edition of Environment Canada’s Biological Test Method EPS 1/RM/10 (EC, 1990a), which was published in July 1990 and amended in March 2000. It supersedes that earlier version, and is to be applied as Environment and Climate Change Canada’s (previously Environment Canada) current reference method for determining the acute lethality of effluents to threespine stickleback”--Abstract, p. ii.
