Sensitivity of Antarctic marine invertebrates and microalgae to metal exposure
Negative impacts from contaminants have occurred in Antarctic marine ecosystems resulting from human activities. To improve risk assessment procedures and develop site-specific environmental quality guidelines and remediation targets, this study successfully developed novel toxicity testing methods...

| Summary: | Negative impacts from contaminants have occurred in Antarctic marine ecosystems resulting from human activities. To improve risk assessment procedures and develop site-specific environmental quality guidelines and remediation targets, this study successfully developed novel toxicity testing methods to determine the sensitivity of Antarctic marine invertebrate and microalgal species to metals. |
