Summary, Etc. Note: |
Abstract: Antimycin A, a fish toxicant, has had more than 50 applications to control fish in the field. It has been used for partial reclamations, and as a general or selective toxicant. It is effective against fish in fresh and marine waters, in acid and alkaline waters, in cold and warm waters, and in flowing and static waters. The formulations contributeno color or odor to water and do not repel fish. The toxic action, respiratory inhibition, is irreversible in most fishes. Fish-killing concentrations are harmless to most aquatic invertebrates and to higher vertebrates. Highlights of the field applications are presented. |
