  <dc:description>&lt;p class="last"&gt;This study determined the influence of water temperature (55&amp;ndash;68&amp;deg; F), dissolved oxygen (4&amp;ndash;12 ppm), water hardness as CaCO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;&amp;nbsp;(20&amp;ndash;256 ppm), and chloride ions (to 2 mM) on the susceptibility of rainbow trout (&lt;i&gt;Salmo gairdneri&lt;/i&gt;) to the acute toxicity of ethyl mercury phosphate (EMP). The fish were exposed for one hour to 0.125 ppm EMP, the active ingredient of Timsan, a commercial EMP formulation. The death rate because of the exposure to EMP increased with an increase in water temperature, a decrease in dissolved oxygen, and an increase in chloride ions; calcium appeared to have no effect. The effect of water temperature and dissolved oxygen was ascribed to changes in the respiration rate of the fish, and a chemical explanation is presented for the effect of chloride ions.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
