Sediment bioassays using Bathyporeia sarsi and Bathyporeia pilosa

Deseribes a shortterm acute sediment bioassay involving the infaunal amphipod Bathyporeia sarsi and Bathyporeia pilosa in two different tests. A comparison of sensitivity between the species is made with a contaminated sediment gradient in the first test, while the second test determines the effects of varions sediments from different lacations on Bathyporeia pilosa.
