Fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to sodium pentachlorophenate concentrations ranging from 32 to 512 micro g/L in a 7-day larval survival and growth test. The average dry weight was measured.
A data frame with 24 observations on the following 3 variables.
conc
a numeric vector of sodium pentachlorophenate concentrations (micro g/L).
dryweight
a numeric vector dry weights (mg)
Details
The data are analysed in Bruce and Versteeg (1992) using a log-normal dose-response model (using the logarithm with base 10).
