Gut contents have long been recognized as a potentially important source of bias in studies concerned with estimating contaminant body burdens in benthic macroinvertebrates. In this study, we show that gut-associated, inorganic material may also lead to significant overestimates of weight in Chirono
The toxicity of an estuarine sediment stored at different temperatures (-22ยฐC, 4ยฐC, and 25ยฐC) was monitored over time (at 0, 2, 4, 7, and 20 weeks) by conducting 96 h suspended particulate phase (SPP) tests with 24-to 48-h-old Mysidopsis bahia. Toxicity generally increased with time for sediments st
