Variation with chain length in acute toxicity of alkylhydroxamic acids to salmon ( Salmo salar) fry

Abstract The acute toxicity of saturated n ‐alkylhydroxamic acids to salmon ( Salmo salar ) fry was determined. Within the series n ‐C 6 H 13 CONHOH to n ‐C 10 H 21 CONHOH, acute toxicity (indicated by death) increased with chain length. Shorter and longer chain compounds were not toxic under simila...

Description
Summary:Abstract The acute toxicity of saturated n ‐alkylhydroxamic acids to salmon ( Salmo salar ) fry was determined. Within the series n ‐C 6 H 13 CONHOH to n ‐C 10 H 21 CONHOH, acute toxicity (indicated by death) increased with chain length. Shorter and longer chain compounds were not toxic under similar conditions. Factors governing the variation in toxicity with chain length and possible mechanisms of action are discussed.
