Abstract

The effects of Zn on two mysid, two copepod, and one decapod crustacean species from Peter the Great Bay are studied. Experiments have shown the lowest median lethal concentrations (LC50) in the case of a 48-h exposure for juvenile mysids (221 μg Zn2+/L) and the highest concentrations for juvenile grass shrimp (11 309 μg Zn2+/L). The relationship of toxicoresistance with species-specific features, body size, and the ontogeny stage of test organisms, as well as with experimental conditions, including water temperature, has been confirmed.
