Respiratory and Osmoregulatory Responses of White Perch (Morone americana) Exposed to Chlorine and Ozone in Estuarine Waters. In: Water Chlorination: Environmental Impact and Health Effects, Vol. 2.

The use of ozone is being considered as an alternative to chlorine for disinfection purposes. Investigations on the comparative toxicity of chlorine and ozone were conducted to determine the acute toxicity of these oxidants to an euryhaline teleost. A relatively high concentration of these oxidants was used to elicit a physiological response from the white perch, Morone americana, exposed to a continuous flow of either chlorine or ozone. These studies were similar to that of chlorine.
