## Abstract The effects of the environmental estrogen 17Ξ±βethinylestradiol (EE) on mixed populations of 90 individual Gammarus pulex were examined following a 100βd exposure in a flowβthrough system. Counts of total animal numbers revealed that, in all treatment groups, population size dramatically
The freshwater amphipod Gammaruspulex was sampled from several sites in Northumberland, England and analysed for total body zinc and cadmium concentrations. The toxicity of cadmium to animals from the different sites was determined and a positive relationship was found between the initial total bod
A gradient in H. azteca growth was created by reducing food ration . .Tests were initiated with neonates (<48 h old) and the effects of an altered food ration on survival and growth were examined after 10 and 49 days . Growth rates decreased significantly with reduced food ration (10 day growth rate
