“…The present study showed that the 48-h LC 50 value of MeHg (28.39 µg L −1 ) to embryos of large yellow croaker was generally lower than fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas, 71 µg L −1 ; Devlin, 2006), killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus, 50 µg L −1 ; Sharp and Neff, 1982), zebrafish (Danio rerio, 90 µg L −1 ; Cambero and Calvo, 2010) and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch, 54-71 µg L −1 ; Devlin and Mottet, 1992), but higher than the Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus, 15.3 µg L −1 ; Ren et al, 2019). While the 48-h LC 50 (18.27 µg L −1 ) and 96-h LC 50 (9.28 µg L −1 ) values of MeHg to large yellow croaker larvae was much Frontiers in Marine Science | www.frontiersin.org ;Wobeser, 1975;Mozhdeganloo et al, 2015), blue gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus, 48-h LC 50 , 94 µg L −1 , 96h LC 50 , 89 µg L −1 ; Roales and Perlmutter, 1974) and Japanese flounder (48-h LC 50 , 20.7 µg L −1 , 96-h LC 50 , 16.3 µg L −1 ). Based on these results, large yellow croaker embryos and larvae may be more sensitive to MeHg than most other fish species mentioned above.…”
