Acute and Chronic Effects of Waterborne Arsenic and Selenium on the Early Life Stages of Striped Bass ('Morone saxatilis')

摘要

The laboratory study measured the acute and chronic toxicities of waterborne sodium arsenate and sodium selenate, as isolates and jointly in mixtures, to striped bass (Morone saxatilis) eggs, prolarvae, postlarvae and juveniles. Embryos were relatively insensitive to arsenic and selenium as isolates or mixtures. Several responses were tested to determine the chronic effects of continuous exposure to two concentrations of arsenic or selenium.
