Progress Code: completed Purpose Determine Antarctic marine microgastropod (Skenella paludionoides) sensitivity to a range of common metal contaminants (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn). A number of toxicity tests have been conducted using the marine microgastropod, Skenella paludionoides, between the years 2006 and 2010. Tests have determined sensitivity of this species to the a range of common metals contaminants; cadmium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc. Test biota were collected from Casey and Davis, with tests conducted either at Antarctic station laboratories or in AAD Kingston laboratories (after transport of animals back to Australia).
