General Comments

Bioaccumulation and secondary poisoning effects should be considered for this toxicant. To account for the bioaccumulating nature of this toxicant, it is recommended to apply the species protection level DGV one level above that which would normally be applied (e.g. if 95% level of species protection would normally be applied, then the 99% DGV should be used). Refer to Warne et al. (2018) and the bioaccumulation section in Accounting for local conditions, for details. The reliability of the DGVs has been updated according to the classification in Warne et al. (2018). These DGVs and the information in the corresponding DGVs technical brief for this toxicant should be used in accordance with the detailed guidance provided on the Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality website.
