Ranks of various white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) life stages in species sensitivity distribution from US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) database for copper ³⁰. Values are normalized to a moderately hard water composition with water hardness of 85 mg/L and dissolved organic carbon of 0.5 mg/L for comparability with USEPA values ³⁰. Asterisk denotes that the control survival was less than 90% during this life stage exposure and the result should be interpreted with caution because of low control survival. AWQC = acute water-quality criteria; FAV = final acute value; dph = days posthatch.
