Toxicity of aquatic herbicides to Daphnia magna. 1966

D G Crosby, and R K Tucker

Accurate determination of the acute toxicities of a series of 16 aquatic herbicides to Daphnia magna reveals that several of them may present a hazard to food-chain microfauna whether the compounds are environmentally destroyed or not.
