chambers at test initiation. The criteria for<br />
death were no visible movement and no response to<br />
prodding.<br />
Test solutions were prepared by dissolving 10,000<br />
mg/l KCl salt in MHRW, and diluting with MHRW to a<br />
series of 5 test concentrations spaced on 0.5<br />
dilution factor. As testing proceeded, test<br />
concentrations were spaced much more closely to<br />
better define responses near the effect threshold.<br />
All ion concentrations measured in stock solutions<br />
were compared to nominal values. If measured<br />
concentration differed from the nominal value by<br />
more than 20 %, the actual measured concentrations<br />
were substituted for the nominal concentrations.<br />
Background KCl content in the dilution water MHRW<br />
were added to the calculated contributions from<br />
the stock solutions.<br />
Dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH were measured in<br />
selected test solutions during actual toxicity<br />
testing: Measured DO concentrations were always ><br />
<strong>40</strong> % saturation; measured pH was between 7.5-9.0.<br />
53 replicate tests were conducted, and average<br />
LC50 values were calculated as the arithmetic mean<br />
of the values; SD = 14, range 0.0-61.<br />
