Abstract :: The acute toxicity of copper insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cu);, cadmium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cd);, and mercury insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hg); to the marine invertebrates Gammarus aequicauda, Corophium insidiosum, Idotea baltica, Sphaeroma serratum, and Mytilus galloprovincialis were evaluated by static bioassays and calculation of the LC50 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(lethality concentration for 50%);. Hg was more toxic to Gammarus aequicauda, Corophium insidiosum, Idotea baltica, Sphaeroma serratum, and Mytilus galloprovincialis than Cu and Cd. Cu was the least toxic of the metals tested.
Keywords : Heavy metal, amphipods, isopods, Mytilus galloprovincialis larvae, acute toxicity test
