Effects Of Sub-Lethal Concentrations Of Phenol On Events In The Pre-Reproductive Period Of The Cladoceran, Daphnia Magna
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of continuous exposure of pre-adult Daphnia magna to low, presumably sub-lethal doses of phenol. The experimental data were obtained through use of a standard 24-hour toxicity bioassay and a modified long-term toxicity bioassay. Control and test animals were cultured in a synthetic pond water and fed with dried yeast. Six concentrations of phenol were tested. Data were applied to least squares linear regression analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, crossed covariance analysis, and several related tests in order...
