Chronic effects of inorganic and organic mercury on Daphnia magna: toxicity, accumulation, and loss

The present study with Daphnia magna determined the chronic effects of mercuric chloride (HgCl sub(2)), methyl mercuric chloride (MMC) and phenyl mercuric acetate (PMA) on survival and reproduction; plus the determination of the relative uptake, body accumulation and loss of inorganic and organic me...

Zusammenfassung:	The present study with Daphnia magna determined the chronic effects of mercuric chloride (HgCl sub(2)), methyl mercuric chloride (MMC) and phenyl mercuric acetate (PMA) on survival and reproduction; plus the determination of the relative uptake, body accumulation and loss of inorganic and organic mercury. In addition, behavioral-studies were made of the different forms of mercury in renewed-static and flow-through systems.
