The half-time persistence (Tb 1/2) of zinc in whole mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) was estimated at 215 days (Newman and Mitz 1988). The half-time persistence of zinc in whole marine fishes ranged from 35 to 75 days in mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) to 295 to 313 days in a flatfish (Pleuronectes platessa) Tb 1/2 in mummichog was shortest at 30°C, longest at 10°C, and intermediate at 20°C (NAS 1979).

Initial population inhibition of mosquitofish (Gambusia sp.), but reproduction resumed except for 1.11 kg/ha group. Fish whole-body residues in 0.056 kg/ha group, in mg/kg body weight, were 2.8 at 4 h, 1.7 at 24 h, and 0.1 after 2 weeks. Insect and zooplankton populations reduced >92% little recovery was evident after third treatment. The 0.056 kg/ha treatment regimen, at 4 h, resulted in residues of 10 pg/L in water,...
