Effects of metal salt mixtures on Daphnia magna reproduction

Three binary metal experiments were conducted using a “complete block design”; testing the chlorides of Cd, Hg, and Zn individually and in combinations of CdHg, CdZn, and ZnHg on Daphnia magna reproduction. These mixtures were tested at one-half, once, and twice the 16% reproductive impairment co...

Zusammenfassung:Three binary metal experiments were conducted using a “complete block design”; testing the chlorides of Cd, Hg, and Zn individually and in combinations of CdHg, CdZn, and ZnHg on Daphnia magna reproduction. These mixtures were tested at one-half, once, and twice the 16% reproductive impairment concentration previously determined for individual metals. The CdHg, CdZn, and ZnHg mixtures all showed significant reductions in reproduction at concentrations where the metal salts alone caused no significant effect.
