McCulloch, W.L.2010-02-152010-02-151977http://hdl.handle.net/1969.3/2045564 p., ThesisAcute toxicity studies on two early life stages of Fundulus similis indicated that two-week post hatch larvae are more sensitive to cadmium exposure than 5-6 day embryos by a factor of 1.6 to 11.2 depending on the salinity/temperature combination. Temperature proved to have a significant affect on acute cadmium toxicity, with higher temperatures producing increased mortality. The effect of salinity on acute cadmium toxicity was not significant, however there was a distinct trend toward increased survival at higher salinities.Fundulus similislongnose killifishchemical pollutionheavy metalscadmiumtoxicitytemperaturelife historyBook
