AB The toxicity of cuproxyl containing 10% CuSO<sub>4</sub><font face=&quot;Symbol&quot;>&#1063;</font>5H<sub>2</sub>O, 10% aerosyl sorbent, and 80% water was studied by the method of bioassay using <i>Daphnia magna</i> Straus and <i>Ceriodaphnia affinis</i> Lilljeborg. The median lethal concentrations determined based on the results of acute experiments were 7.67 mg/L for <i>Daphnia magna</i> and 6.25 mg/L for <i>Ceriodaphnia affinis</i>. The toxicity threshold decreased with increasing the duration of exposure. The chronic lethal concentration of cuproxyl for <i>Ceriodaphnia affinis</i> (5 mg/L) caused the inhibition of reproduction of the test population in the third (III) and fourth (IV) generations. Under the action of sublethal concentrations of curpoxyl of 0.5 mg/L, 1.0 mg/L, and 2.5 mg/L the fecundity of <i>Ceriodaphnia affinis</i> decreased by 76.8%, 64.7%, and 58.0%, respectively.
