Microscale testing in aquatic toxicology: advances, techniques, and practice

Bioassays are among the ecotoxicologist's most effective weapons in the evaluation of water quality and the assessment of ecological impacts of effluents, chemicals, discharges, and emissions on the aquatic environment.

Information on these assessment aids is needed throughout the international scientific and environmental management community.

This reference provides an overview of the small-scale aquatic bioassay techniques and applications currently in use around the world.
