✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The liquor expressed from decomposing pea haulm has been shown to contain volatile fatty acids, volatile sulphides, ortho‐, meta‐ and para‐cresol, and phenol. These have been found to be responsible for the toxicity of this material to fish. The greatest contribution to the toxicity is made by the fatty acids, followed in decreasing order by the volatile sulphides, and the phenolic substances.
