Resumo

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) uses the in vivo fish acute toxicity test to assess potential risk of substances to non-target aquatic vertebrates. The test is typically conducted on a cold and a warm freshwater species and a saltwater species for a conventional pesticide registration, potentially requiring upwards of 200 or more fish. A retrospective data evaluation was conducted to explore the potential for using fewer fish species to support conventional pesticide risk assessments. Lethal concentration 50% (LC
