A 3 Ο« 2 factorial experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of food ration on observed toxicity in Neanthes arenaceodentata. Worms were fed one of three food rations: 0.25Ο«, 1.0Ο«, and 6.0Ο«. The 1.0Ο« ration was composed of 4 mg TetraMarin/worm/week and 2 mg alfalfa/worm/week. Worms in each f

## Abstract The use of sediment quality guidelines to predict the toxicity of metals in sediments is limited by an inadequate understanding of exposure pathways and by poor causal links between exposure and effects. For a 10βd exposure to Cuβspiked sediments, toxicity to the amphipod __Melita plumu
Without sediment, increasing salinity (7.3 to 29.2 %0) and increasing temperature (12 to 22 ~ reduced the toxicity of copper to juvenile Hediste diversicolor. The LCs0 values ranged from 357/~g L -I in 7.3 %0 to 513 #g L -I in 29.2 %0 at 12 ~ and from 247 to 500/~g L -z at 22 ~ In deionized water al
