Effect of salinity and temperature on the acute and chronic toxicity of arsenic to the marine rotifers Proales similis and Brachionus ibericus
Several abiotic factors influence the ecological responses of aquatic invertebrates to metal
toxicity. We examined the effect of salinity (10, 20, and 30 psu) and temperature (25 and 32° …
