The acute toxicity and highest nonlethal concentration of praziquantel (LC0) were determined in the laboratory for grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella and golden shiner Notemigonus crysoleucas , two cyprinids known to harbor the Asian tapeworm Bothriocephalus acheilognathi . Praziquantel is an anthelmintic used to treat fish with tapeworms. The 24‐h and 96‐h LC50 values were 55.1 and 49.7 mg/L for golden shiners (1.3 g) and 63.4 and 60.6 mg/L for grass carp (9.1 g). The 24‐h and 96‐h LC0 values were 50.0 and 45.0 mg/L for golden shiners and 60.0 and 60.0 mg/L for grass carp.
