Abstract

The toxicity of diethyl 2-chlorovinyl phosphate (SD1836) and 2,2 dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (DDVP) was tested as an "in-water" treatment of rainbow trout and in vitro against the internal nematode parasite of fish, Sterliadochona peclispicula. As an "in-water" anthelmintic treatment SD1836 was 100% effective at concentrations of 25 fL liters/liter for 24 hr and 5 μ liters/liter for 72 hr; no toxic effects to rainbow trout were noted with these treatments.
