In Japan, red seabream Pagrus major larvae have been recommended as a saltwater test fish for acute toxicity test of chemicals. However, for this species, there is no reference data of the lethality of hexavalent chromium, which is recommended as the standard substance for ecotoxicological tests in some test guidelines. Therefore, we examined the acute toxicity of hexavalent chromium (as potassium dichromate) on larvae of P. major according to the test guideline of the Ministry of Environment

Compared to other saltwater species, P. major larvae showed higher susceptibility to hexavalent chromium.
