Abstract :Statistical models used in toxicity experiments have been quite useful tools in interpreting the organism\'s susceptibility, exposure response, amount of tolerable concentration, and function of tolerance time. In order to determine and evaluate the toxic effects of boron on Daphnia pulex (Leydig, 1860), different boron concentrations considered to be tolerable in aquatic ecosystems were tested for D. pulex. Percentage mortality rates at different boron concentrations and probit regression estimates at these concentrations were investigated through the static method. Probit analysis in this study revealed that rising boron concentrations led to mortality, and that finding was statistically significant with P value. These results indicate that the use of episodic boron, which enters the aquatic ecosystem through natural or unnatural means, should be planned due to its potential for stress or toxicity situations on organisms.
