Biological Test Method: Reference Method for Determining Acute Lethality of Sediment to Marine or Estuarine Amphipods


This report describes a reference method for measuring the acute lethal toxicity of contaminated whole sediment to marine or estuarine amphipods. It provides explicit instructions for performing a static,10-day lethality test in the laboratory, using one or more of the following species of amphipod crustaceans: Rhepoxynius abronius, Eohaustorius washingtonianus, Eohaustorius estuarius, and Amphiporeia virginiana. This reference method follows and is built upon the generic Biological Test Method: Acute Test for Sediment Toxicity Using Marine or Estuarine Amphipods published by Environment Canada (1992,EPS 1/RM/26).
