Nereistoxin (C H jNS2) kills fish and insects but is relatively non-toxic to homeotherms. The LD q value in mice varies from 30-1000 mg/kg depending on... 

This gives an example of fate modeling in which the risks of an insect growth inhibitor, CGA-72662, in aquatic environments were assessed using a combination of the SWRRB and EXAMS mathematical models.. Runoff of CGA-72662 from agricultural watersheds was estimated using the SWRRB model. The runoff data were then used to estimate the loading of CGA-72662 into the EXAMS model for aquatic environments. EXAMS was used to estimate the maximum concentrations of CGA-72662 that would occur in various compartments of the defined ponds and lakes. The maximum expected environmental concentrations of CGA-72662 in water were then compared with acute and chronic toxicity data for CGA-72662 in fish and aquatic invertebrates in order to establish a safety factor for CGA-72662 in aquatic environments.

In the meantime, in 1947, Laurell and Ingelman[17] had independently purified the red protein from pig plasma and in the same year proposed the name transferrin which has since been adopted as the generic name of the proteins of this family serotransferrin (instead of siderophilin) present in blood and some external secretions, ovotransferrin (instead of conalbumin) in avian egg-white, lactotransferrin (also called lactoferrin) from milk, external secretions and leukocytes and melanotransferrin (instead of p97) in melanocyte and normal cell plasma membrane. A dozen mammalian and some frog, fish and insect serotransferrins were later isolated and characterized.
