This chapter describes a rapid, inexpensive in vitro test for evaluating the toxicity of water samples and a potential alternative to the use of fish in routine toxicity testing. The overall objective of the procedure is to assess water samples for acute or basal cytotoxicity to fish cells. Basal cytotoxicity refers to impairment of cellular activities that are shared by all or most cells. The basic procedure can also be used to evaluate the acute cytotoxicity of individual chemicals and to understand the mechanism (s) behind their toxicity. The speed and cost-saving features arise from assessing the viability of fish cells in 96-well microplates. This reduces the cost of disposables to be used and of shipping large volumes of water samples to a central testing facility.
