Acute Toxicological Effects of Suspended Solids on the Zooplankton

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the acute toxicity test was used to study the effects of different concentrations of suspended solids on the growth of zooplankton from Jiaozhou Bay. The experiment result showed that there had a significant impact of suspended solids on zooplankton growth and the mortality rate rose with the increasing concentration of suspended solids. The lethal concentration of 96h-LC50 was 60.172mg / L.
