Measured Copper Toxicity to Cnesterodon decemmaculatus (Pisces: Poeciliidae) and Predicted by Biotic Ligand Model in Pilcomayo River Water: A Step for a Cross-Fish-Species Extrapolation
Figure 3
Measured copper toxicity (LC50, in μg L−1) to C. decemmaculatus by Villar et al. (closed square) and the present study (closed diamond) compared with predicted copper toxicity using the BLM developed for P. promelas. The thicker line represents a 1 : 1 relationship. The thinner line represents predictions within a factor of 2. The error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
