Abstract
A four-day static renewal acute toxicity test was performed to determi ne the LC50. value of deltamethrin for the freshwater catfish, Heterop neustes fossillis. The LC50 values, their upper and lower confidence l imits and slope functions were calculated. The LC50 values for 24, 48, 72 and 96hr are 3.10,2.30, 2.10 and 1.86 mu g/l, respectively.
