Summary of sublethal (olfactory, behavior, growth) and lethal toxicity of copper sulfate in aquatic organisms, analyzed by LSM, consisted of a concentration-response graph with slope (k) (sigmoid graph—Sub Fig. 2.A); ranges of log EC₁₆ – log EC₈₄ and log LC₁₆ – log LC₈₄, with ranges of low (L), medium (M), and high (H) concentrations are shown (flat graph—Sub Fig. 2.B). A plot of quadrant analysis between log ∆C vs k is provided (quadrant graph—Sub Fig. 2.C). Original data is provided in Table 2. Ranges of log concentrations (µg.L⁻¹ l.s.) are −2.000 to −0.690 (L1); −0.690–0.491 (L2); 0.491–0.681 (L3); 0.681–1.671 (M1); 1.671–2.699 (M2); 2.699–3.398 (H1); and 3.398–5.000 (H2).
