Abstract
This paper presents the results of a toxicity assessment of marine sediments from Vostok Bay based on responses of three testing organisms: the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum (Bohlin, 1897), nauplii of the brine shrimp Artemia salina (Linnaeus, 1758), and embryos and larvae of the sand dollar Scaphechinus mirabilis (Agassiz, 1864). The A. salina nauplii survival test was the least sensitive, showing a weak response in only two samples. The results of the experiments using microalgae cells and sand dollar larvae correlated both with each other and with long-term environmental monitoring data, thus, confirming the high degree of sediment toxicity off the western coast of the bay (Gaydamak and Srednyaya Coves).
期刊介绍:
The Russian Journal of Marine Biology was founded in 1975 by Alexey V. Zhirmunsky, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Russian Journal of Marine Biology covers a wide range of research and some applied aspects of marine biology as a synthetic science related to various fields of study on marine biota and environment. It presents fundamental research on biological processes at molecular, cellular, organismal, and populational levels in marine organisms. Consideration is given to marine objects as models in life sciences. The journal also publishes papers dedicated to events in Russian and international marine biological science and the history of biology.
