## 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 10โd exposure to Cuโspiked 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
