Abstract
⺠Irgarol 1051 biocide is usually jointly used with Cu in antifouling paints. ⺠We investigated the toxicities of Irgarol-Cu mixtures to a marine copepod. ⺠Acute toxicities of the mixtures were simple additive as revealed by our results. ⺠The mixtures at high concentrations synergistically increased larval mortality. ⺠Hence it is vital to consider their joint toxic effect in the marine environment.
