Toxicity Of Zinc, Copper And Lead To Idotea Baltica(Crustacea, Isopoda), Levent Bat, Murat Sezgi̇n, Ayşe Gündoğdu, Mehmet Çulha
Toxicity Of Zinc, Copper And Lead To Idotea Baltica(Crustacea, Isopoda), Levent Bat, Murat Sezgi̇n, Ayşe Gündoğdu, Mehmet Çulha
Turkish Journal of Biology
The acute toxicity of zinc, copper and lead to the marine invertebrate Idotea baltica (Crustacea, Isopoda) was evaluated by static bioassays, calculating the LT 50 (lethality time for 50%) for males and females. Survival time decreased with increasing concentrations of zinc, copper and lead. Zinc was more toxic to Idotea than copper and lead. Lead was the least toxic of the metals tested.

Turkish Journal of Biology
Acute toxicity tests were performed on Echinogammars olivii (Amphipoda), Sphaeroma serratum (Isopoda) and Palaemon elegans (Decapoda), from the Sinop Peninsula in the Black Sea. 96- h LC 50 values were estimated for copper, zinc and lead in these species using the static bioassay method. The LC 50 values of Cu for E. olivii, S. serratum and P. elegans were 0.25, 1.98 and 2.52 mg/l, respectively. The LC 50 values of Zn for E. olivii , S. serratum and P. elegans were 1.30, 6.12 and 12.3 mg/l, respectively. The LC 50 values of Pb for E. olivii, S. serratum and P. …
