Eggs of striped bass (Morone saxatilis), white perch (M. americana) and blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis) were exposed to a series of total residual chlorine (TRC) concentrations until hatch occurred. Larval development of the three species was inhibited by increasing TRC concentrations. Length of larval fish at hatch decreased with increasing TRC concentrations and the production of abnormal blueback herring larvae increased with increasing TRC concentrations.
