Three field and twelve laboratory toxicity tests were completed, with twenty-six combinations of animals and toxicants. We conducted the following field tests (truck ULV spray): FT-8, juvenile common snook and sheepshead minnows exposed to fenthion; FT-9, adult copepods and juvenile common snook, tarpon snook, and sheepshead minnows exposed to malathion; FT-10, adult copepods and juvenile common snook, tarpon snook, and sheepshead minnows exposed to Dibrom.
