Estimating the acute toxicity of waterborne chemicals to trout from measurements of median lethal dose and the octanol-water partition coefficient / Peter V. Hodson, D. George Dixon and K.L.E. Kaiser.: En13-5/87-75E-PDF

"Measurements of the median lethal dose (LD50) of chemicals to fish provide a simpler, faster, and less expensive alternative to median lethal concentrations (LC50s). Since dose is controlled, LD50s may be a better basis for structure activity relationships. However, LC50s are extensively used in aquatic hazards assessments. Therefore, LC50s and LD50s for rainbow trout of 48 organic chemicals were measured to determine whether LC50s could be predicted from LD50s"--Abstract.
