Internal report / NIWA HamiltonSummary: The sensitivity of the eggs to ammonia and PCP was tested. Eggs were not sensitive to high ammonia concentrations (33 ppm). Deformities were observed in larvae from eggs exposed to PCP; later stages were more sensitive than early developmental stages. Alternative bioassay subjects are: (1) larval smelt, (2) juvenile bullies.
