In order to determine copper toxicity (LC50) to a local species ( Cnesterodon decemmaculatus ) in the South American Pilcomayo River water and evaluate a cross-fish-species extrapolation of Biotic Ligand Model, a 96 h acute copper toxicity test was performed. The dissolved copper concentrations tested were 0.05, 0.19, 0.39, 0.61, 0.73, 1.01, and 1.42 mg Cu L −1 . The 96 h Cu LC50 calculated was 0.655 mg L −1  (0.823 − 0.488). 96-h Cu LC50 predicted by BLM for  Pimephales promelas  was 0.722 mg L −1 . Analysis of the inter-seasonal variation of the main water quality parameters indicates that a higher protective effect of calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulphate, and chloride is expected during the dry season. The very high load of total suspended solids in this river might be a key factor in determining copper distribution between solid and solution phases. A cross-fish-species extrapolation of copper BLM is valid within the water quality parameters and experimental conditions of this toxicity test.
