The toxicity of benomyl, thiophanate-methyl, and BCM to four freshwater organisms.

The EC50 or LC50 values after a 2-day exposure of the three fungicides benomyl, thiophanate-methyl and BCM, have been determined using four freshwater organisms: Chlorella pyrenoidosa, Daphnia magna, Lebistes reticulatus and Salmo gairdneri. The influence of BCM on the reproductive capacity of Daphnia was also investigated and from these data provisional ecological limit was established.
