Exposure times necessary for antimycin and rotenone to eliminate certain freshwater fish Exposure times necessary for antimycin and rotenone to eliminate certain freshwater fish

In laboratory flowing-water troughs exposure required to induce 100% mortality, regardless of time to death for antimycin and rotenone against selected freshwater fish species was determined. Carp and white suckers required shorter exposures to antimycin (6 hr) than to rotenone (18–24 hr) at field-use concentrations of 5 and 50 ppb respectively. Bullheads were killed by 3–10 hr exposure...

The Crow Wing River, a tributary of the Mississippi River, drains an area of about 3,760 square miles, essentially all of which is covered by glacial deposits. Topography of most of the watershed is slightly- to moderately-undulating and has local relief of up to about 50 feet. The margin of the watershed, particularly the southwestern and northwestern parts, is higher and has local...
