TFM

TFM is a piscicide. It is toxic to sea lamprey (P. marinus) with LC50 values ranging from 1.97 to 2.11 and 2.05 to 2.21 mg/L for sac and swim-up fry, respectively, 1.6 to 2.45 mg/L for juveniles, and 1.6 to 1.63 mg/L for adults. It is also toxic to juvenile lake sturgeon (A. fulvescens) less than 100 mm in size but not to a variety of other fish species. TFM (50 µM) uncouples oxidative phosphorylation by 22 and 28% in isolated sea lamprey and rainbow trout (O. mykiss) liver, respectively. Formulations containing TFM have been used as lampricides in the control of larval sea lamprey populations.Formal Name: 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-phenol. CAS Number: 88-30-2.
