Notes:
Conclusions Permethrin is extremely toxic to juvenile Atlantic salmon and has a lethal threshold of approximately 9 μg/ℓ. It is relatively much more persistent than pyrethrins and allethrin. Fish accumulate permethrin from water and the accumulation coefficient of 55 indicates an intermediate degree of accumulation under the used experimental conditions.
