Walsh, Gerald E., Karen Ainsworth and Alfred J. Wilson. 1977. Toxicity and Uptake of Kepone in Marine Unicellular Algae. Chesapeake Sci. 18(2):222-223. (ERL,GB 292).

Four species of marine unicellular algae were exposed to Kepone in laboratory bioassays. EC50 values after seven days' growth, in mg/liter (ppm), were: Chlorococcum sp., 0.35; Dunaliella tertiolecta, 0.58; Nitzschia sp., 0.60; Thalassiosira pseudonana, 0.60. When exposed to 100 µg/liter (ppb) Kepone for 24 hr, residues associated with the algae, in mg/kg (ppm) wet weight, were: Chlorococcum sp., 80; D. tertiolecta, 23; Nitzschia sp., 41; T. pseudonana, 52.
