Smolt A juvenile salmon or steelhead migrating to the ocean <strong>and</strong> undergoing<br />

physiological changes to adapt from freshwater to a saltwater<br />

environment.<br />

Sublethal Below the concentration that directly causes death. Exposure to sublethal<br />

concentrations of a material may produce less obvious effect on behavior,<br />

biochemical, <strong>and</strong>/or physiological function of the organism often leading<br />

to indirect death.<br />

Surfactant A substance that reduces the interfacial or surface tension of a system or a<br />

surface-active substance.<br />

Synergism A phenomenon in which the toxicity of a mixture of chemicals is greater<br />

than that which would be expected from a simple summation of the<br />

toxicities of the individual chemicals present in the mixture.<br />

Technical Grade Pure or almost pure active ingredient. Available to formulators.<br />

Active Ingredient Most toxicology data are developed with the TGAI. The percent<br />

(TGAI) AI is listed on all labels.<br />

Technical Recovery Teams convened by NOAA <strong>Fisheries</strong> to develop technical products<br />

Teams (TRT) related to recovery planning. TRTs are complemented by planning forums<br />

unique to specific states, tribes, or reigns, which use TRT <strong>and</strong> other<br />

technical products to identify recovery actions.<br />

Teratogenic Effects produced during gestation that evidence themselves as altered<br />

structural or functional processes in offspring.<br />

Total Maximum defines how much of a pollutant a water body can tolerate (absorb)<br />
