The present study investigates the ecotoxicological hazards of organic contaminants towards estuarine copepods and finds that most chemicals have acute toxicity and impact their development.
Estuarine ecosystems are recipients of anthropogenic stressors released from land-based activities. The aim of the present study was to investigate the ecotoxicological hazards of organic contaminants toward the estuarine copepod Gladioferens pectinatus using acute and chronic testing. Most chemicals demonstrated acute toxicity and influenced development of the copepods. Further research should be conducted to investigate these chemicals and their mixtures using long-term, multigenerational testing to characterize mechanisms of toxicity.
