U.S. commercial fishing groups on Wednesday sued 13 tire manufacturers in California, saying a chemical used in their tires is poisoning West Coast watersheds and killing rare trout and salmon.

The Institute for Fisheries Resources and the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations sued Bridgestone Corp (5108.T), Continental (CONG.DE), Goodyear Tire & Rubber (GT.O), Michelin (MICP.PA) and others in San Francisco federal court, alleging a chemical used in their tires known as 6PPD is killing protected salmon and trout in violation of the Endangered Species Act.
 

The fishing groups said the chemical, which becomes toxic when it degrades, is released from tires as vehicles drive around and park. They said the degraded chemical can be flushed into waterways during storms, where it kills protected salmon and trout.
