Abstract :In this study 96 hours LC50 values of zinc sulphate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ZnSO4.H2O);; an important toxic industrial pollutant, on Poecilia reticulata were determined. Behavioral changes at different concentrations of zinc sulphate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ZnSO4.H2O); were monitored. The results were evaluated by the Statistical Probit Analysis Method and 96 hours LC50 value for guppies was found to be 30.826 mg/l. The lower and upper confidence limits for the LC50 were 30.387 and 31.280 mg/l, respectively.   Key Words : Acute Toxicity, Zinc Sulphate, Bioassay, Poecilia Reticulata .
