The chronic aquatic toxicities of a microbicide dibromonitrilopropionamide (DBNPA) in Daphnia magna and rainbow trout were evaluated. DBNPA can significantly affect the reproduction and survival of D. magna. The lowest observed effective concentration (LOEC) and the no observed effective concentration
