This chapter summarizes general methodology and techniques used in freshwater
laboratory toxicity testing; however, most of the discussion is also relevant for saltwater …

Use of Ceriodaphnia dubia for whole effluent toxicity testing programs is widespread in
North America. However, the methods used for this species in the United States and Canada …

In situ bioassays are becoming very popular for laboratory test validation and field
