  • Published:
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The zinc 24, 48 and 72 hour Tlm and the Cygon 48 and 72 hour Tlm were determined for zebrafish embryos. In addition, zinc, at low doses, was found to be antagonistic to the toxic action of Cygon on these embryos. At other levels tested, zinc and Cygon may interact additively.
