Abstract
    Comparison of LC50 levels of hydrogen sulfide with those which have adverse effects after long exposure indicates that the 96-hr LC50 may be 3 to 8 times higher than the safe levels. The present work, and that of Smith and Oseid (1974), who examined the effect of hydrogen sulfide on early life history stages of 8 species of freshwater fish, slow that a safe level of hydrogen sulfide which will insure survival and growth of a fish population, and adequate survival of all life history stages will generally be between 0.002 and 0.004 mg/1 at 20 °C. In bluegills, the level is significantly lower, and this pattern may be followed in other species not rested.
