Abstrakt: This article discusses various issues related to toxicity of surfactants to juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, and presents a study in this regard. Utilization of herbicides in Integrated Pest Management to control aquatic weeds has been hampered by concerns over the non-target toxicity of active herbicidal ingredients. Surfactants frequently represent the most toxic component of herbicide tank mixes and can be orders of magnitude more toxic to aquatic organisms than the active ingredient. The surfactants selected for the purpose of the study are either currently registered for or proposed for use in aquatic systems. They represent several classes of surfactants commonly in use.
