| Abstract |
Static bioassays using benthic meiofauna (Chromadorina germanica (nematode), Nitocra typica (harpacticoid copepod), Allogromia laticollaris (foraminifera), and Euplotes vannus (ciliate)), as sensitivity indicators were run testing drilling muds from Mobile (Alabama) bay. Mud sample types were raw, desilter, and desander/desilter. Drilling mud mixtures with sand was an unfavorable substrate for several animals, restricting their body and feeding movements and causing them to starve to death. When the mixtures were embedded in agar to change their physical properties the animals moved and fed normally. The results of this preliminary study suggest that two of the animals tested, Chromadorina germanica and Allogromia laticollaris have the potential to be developed into bioassay tools for marine benthic muds. |
