This paper describes the design and operation of a continuous-flow aquatic toxicity testing system. Aquatic organisms are exposed to toxic chemicals in exposure tanks in which fresh water plus toxicant is continually being replenished. The water used to dilute the test chemical is well water treated by reverse osmosis filtration. The effluent is treated prior to discharging the waste water system. Specific system design considerations are discussed in detail.
