## Abstract Based on the need for a test to evaluate chronic sublethal toxicity in estuarine sediments, a 28โ€d sediment bioassay with the estuarine amphipod __Leptocheirus plumulosus__ (Shoemaker) was developed. The test was initiated with animals less than 2 weeks old (i.e., 425โ€“600 ฮผm sieved size

High levels of ammonia in sediment toxicity tests can potentially confound test results. At issue is whether the observed toxicity is due to elevated ammonia or the presence of more persistent anthropogenic contaminants. To evaluate the risk of ammonia toxicity, information on (1) the exposure-respo

Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of interstitial water metal concentrations and simultaneously extracted metals/acid-volatile sulfide (SEM/AVS) ratios in explaining the acute toxicity of sediment-associated metals to benthic organisms. However, no full life-cycle chronic marine or est
