Cyanide toxicity is caused by the free cyanides (HCN and CN-) that inhibit cytochrome oxidase and thereby suppress aerobic respiration. Fish are the most susceptible organisms - sensitive species exhibit chronic and lethal effects at as low as 5-7 and 20-76 grams/liter, respectively. The toxicity of complex cyanides is usually, but not always, low, but the degradation products often include free cyanides which are toxic. Free cyanides readily degrade in the open environment but persist in groundwater. They do not bioaccumulate. Sublethal effects in fish include reduced reproductive capacity (decreased egg number and viability, and reduced embryo and larval survival), impaired swimming ability, altered growth, and hepatic necrosis. Free cyanides are phytotoxic at higher concentrations than those associated with adverse effects in fish.  2, record 11, English, - free%20cyanide
