    • Abstract

       

      A simple procedure employing fish is described for determining the toxicity of chemical compounds. The ‘turning-point’ is taken as the criterion of toxic effect and the toxicity is expressed in terms of fish units that of rotenone being arbitrarily fixed as 1000. A few organic compounds belonging to the group pyronofurans have been studied.
