The Acute Toxicity of Zinc chloride on Daphnia magna Straus

Year 2012, Volume: 25 Issue: 2, 313 - 316, 17.04.2012

Abstract

In this study the acute toxicity of zinc chloride (ZnCl2) to Daphnia magna Straus was investigated in a static bioassay. After 24, 48, 72 and 96 h the mobility of daphnids were examined and immobile ones were counted. The 24, 48, 72 and 96 h EC50 of zinc chloride to D. magna were found as 11.63, 6.03, 1.17 and 0.67 mg/L, respectively.

 

Key Words: Zinc, daphnid, toxicity, EC50, probit
