The purpose of this study was to determine the acute toxicity of Tert-Amyl Methyl Ether (TAME) to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchusmykiss) under flow-through conditions. The LC50 is defined as the concentration of the test material in dilution water which causes mortality of 50% in the exposed test population after a fixed period of time. This value is often used as a relative indicator of the potential acute hazards resulting from release of the test material into aquatic environments. The study was initiated on 14 October 1992, the day the Study Director signed the protocol, and was completed on the day the Study Director signed the final report. The experimental phase of the 98-hour definitive flow-through toxicity test was conducted from 27 February -3 March 1993 at Spring born Laboratories ,Inc. (SLI), Environmental Sciences Division, Wareham, Massachusetts. All original raw data and the final report stored at SLI.
