Toxicity and LC50 Determination of Phenol and 1-Naphtol in Caspian Kutum and Bream Fingerlings

In this investigation acute toxicity of phenol and 1-naphthol were determined based on OECD guideline in the laboratory. Experimental fishes were Caspian kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum) and bream (Abramis brama orientalis). Static bioassays were used for acute toxicity tests during the period of 96 hours and all of important physicochemical parameters of water including pH, dissolved oxygen, hardness, temperature and conductivity were monitored continuously and maintained at a constant value. Five treatments were used and three replicates run for each treatment. The 96h LC50 values of phenol and 1-naphthol for Caspian kutum and bream were 21.5928 and 2.1544 mg/lit and 25.1880 and 2.8490 mg/lit, respectively. The Maximum Allowable Concentration (MAC) of phenol in Caspian kutum and bream were 2.1593 and 2.5188 mg/lit, respectively. The MAC value of 1-naphthol in Caspian kutum and bream were 0.2154 and 0.2849 mg/lit, respectively. It is evident from the results of the present study that Caspian kutum is more sensitive comparing to bream and the toxicity of 1-naphthol is higher than phenol.
