: An Estuarine Species Suitable for Life-Cycle Toxicity Tests to Determine the Effects of a Pollutant

Source

This study documents the successful use of a mysid, Mysidopsis bahia, for life-cycle toxicity tests. These tests were conducted to determine acute and chronic toxicities of metal (cadmium) and pesticide (Kepone). Delay in the formation of mysid brood pouches and release of young were noted in low concentrations ⩽6.4μg cadmium/litre. Fewer young produced per female and decreased growth were other indicators of effects of Kepone.
