Abstract

Biological response could not be predicted based on chemical concentration of the sediment contaminants. Bioassays integrate the response of test organisms to contaminants and nutrients. Comparative results of 5 acute bioassays indicated that Neubauer phytoassay was the most sensitive. The microbiol biomass and algal growth tests indicated a response to the availability of contaminants and nutrients. -from Authors
