Heart rate and ventilation frequency were monitored in ell exposed to lethal doses of lindane at different water temperatures. A simultaneous bradycardia and hyperventilation followed by a decrease in the ventilation rate occured after exposure to lindane. It is concluded that lindane kills fish by...

| Summary: | Heart rate and ventilation frequency were monitored in ell exposed to lethal doses of lindane at different water temperatures. A simultaneous bradycardia and hyperventilation followed by a decrease in the ventilation rate occured after exposure to lindane. It is concluded that lindane kills fish by internal hypoxia induced by damage to the gills. |
