Currently, there is limited information on the sensitivity of Antarctic microalgae to metal contamination, which is exacerbated by the lack of standard toxicity testing protocols for local marine species. In the present study, a routine and robust toxicity test protocol was developed using the Antarctic marine microalga ...
There is a shortage of established chronic toxicity test methods for assessing the toxicity of contaminants to tropical marine organisms. We tested the suitability of the tropical microalga Isochrysis galbana for use in routine ecotoxicology and assessed the effects of 72‐h exposures to copper (Cu, a reference toxicant), aluminium (Al), gallium (Ga) and ...
