Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the median lethal concentration (­ LC50−96h), effective concentration (­ EC50−96h), risk assessment, and development of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus larvae submitted to florfenicol (FF) exposure. Fish (n = 147; 8.6 ± 0.6 mg; 7 fish/aquarium) were randomly distributed in 21 aquaria (1 L) and exposed to five concentrations of FF 58.73; 131.31; 198.96; 241.88 and 381.81 mg L−1 plus one control and a control with solvent, totalizing seven treatments and three replicates. The estimated median L ­ C50−96h of FF for Nile tilapia larvae was 349.94 mg L−1. The E ­ C50−96h of −1 FF was 500 mg L for weight reduction and was 1040 mg L−1 for length reduction. After the exposure period, final weight and length differed (p
