p. 211 - 218 L'ACTION DE L'ARSENE, EN TANT QU'ELEMENT POLLUANT SUR LES POISSONS D'EAU DONCE Octavian Serbanescu, Radu Mihnea, Icmet Bilal et Elvira Cuingioglu Institut Roumain de Recherches Marines Constanta Abstract Data concerning the influence of the arsenic ions, which may appera in fishing basins from the waste waters of a chemical plant, upon the fresh water fishes are presented in the paper. Experiments were carred out on two races of carp (Cyprinus carpio and Cyprinus carpio galitianus),than on Rutilus rutilus carpathorossicus, and on Perca fluvialitis fluvialitis, with trivalent and pentavalent arsenic salts. The authors check the toxicity of each type of ion, taking into account the solubility of the respective salts. The behaviour of the fish at various concentrations between 0,5 and 100 ppm as was obseved.
