The aim of this study was to assess the toxicity of terbutryn to early developmental stages of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Based on accumulated mortality in the experimental groups, lethal concentrations of terbutryn were estimated at 36day LC50=3.06mgl⁻¹ terbutryn. Based on inhibition of growth in the experimental groups, lowest observed-effect concentration (LOEC)=0.005mgl⁻¹ terbutryn; and no observed-effect concentration (NOEC)=0.0007mgl⁻¹ terbutryn. Fulton’s condition factors were significantly lower in fish exposed to 2mgl⁻¹ compared with controls. By day 30, fish exposed to 0.00002mgl⁻¹ – real environmental concentration in Czech rivers – 0.02, 0.2, and 2mgl⁻¹ terbutryn showed significantly lower mass and total length compared with controls. No significant negative effects on hatching or embryo viability were demonstrated at the concentrations tested, but significant differences in early ontogeny among groups were noted. Fish from the two highest tested concentrations (0.2 and 2mgl⁻¹) showed a dose-related delay in development compared with the controls. At concentrations of 0.02, 0.2, and 2mgl⁻¹ damage to caudal kidney tubules when compared to control fish was found.
