In post–yolk sac larvae similarly exposed for 12 days at
12.2°C, a small increase in growth and caloric assimilation
was noted at 120 and 1850 ug benzene/l.
A significant effect on oxygen consumption was noted at 120
and 1850 ug/l.

No effects on survival, yolk consumption or catabolic energy
were seen at 460 ug/l, the highest concentration tested. A
significant energy deficit, however, was reported at this
concentration when the larvae were tested 24 hours after
hatching.
