Abstract :

The main aim of the present study was to examine the sensibility of marine fish Mugil cephalus to zinc chloride (ZnCl2) in the toxicity test programs. All fishes were exposed to ZnCl2 at various chosen concentrations 0.25, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 ppm (range finding test); then fish were exposed to 6 concentrations of ZnCl2 (control, 16, 17, 18, 19 ppm). Number of mortality was registered after 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. LC50 values were determined with probite analysis. The 96 hour LC50 value of ZnCl2 to the fish was found to be 17.21 ppm.
