Conclusions The acute toxicity of CPTH to shrimp and crabs was determined in the laboratory under standard, static, bioassay conditions. For shrimp, a TLM of 10.8 ppm was calculated while for crabs a figure of 16.0 ppm was obtained. These values are relatively high with respect to other pesticide chemicals. However, one must realize that death is a quite serious symptom and that potentially fatal sub-lethal effects are not discerned in an investigation of this type. Further, we must keep in mind the possibility of toxicant adsorption onto the bioassay vessel and the resulting lowered TLM values. The assessment of these factors, however, was not within the scope of this investigation.
