AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY

LABORATORY  BIOASSAYS

• Effects on alga growth
• Water flea (Daphnia)
• Acute toxicity & acute immobilization
• Chronic toxicity (Reproduction inhibition and immobilization) 

• Fish
• Acute toxicity (static, semistatic or flow-through)
• Chronic/prolonged toxicity (semistatic or flow-through)
• Juvenile growth test
• Early life-stage toxicity
• Life cycle test
• Bioaccumulation (radioactive or non-radioactive)  

• Amphibians
• Embryo prolonged toxicity test (semistatic or flow-through)
• Embryo growth test (FETAX)
• Early life-stage toxicity and teratogenicity test (FETAX)
• Bioaccumulation in embryos (radioactive or non-radioactive)  

• Sediment dwelling and other aquatic organisms (e.g. Chironomus)
• Acute toxicity on larvae
• Development & emergence
• (other aquatic insects upon request and designed according to needs) 

• Molluscs
• Acute toxicity (static, semistatic or flow-through)
