| Abstract |
Effects of heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial and municipal wastes on plankton in the field and laboratory are reviewed. Both holoplankton and meroplankton are discussed. In many cases, meroplanktonic stages of benthic species are more sensitive than adults although death or depression of physiological activities are often used as criteria for effects of pollutants with algae and animals, algae may be used to detect effects of growth stimulants. |
