Measurement of the effect of Aroclor 1254 on the respiration of Gammarus using potentiometric respirometry

The effect of exposure to Aroclor 1254 on the respiration rate of single Gammarus was determined using potentiometric respirometry. Exposure to 25 μg l −1 PBC for 44 h was found to significantly reduce the respiration rate of scuds when measured immediately after the exposure. The utility of potenti...

Zusammenfassung:The effect of exposure to Aroclor 1254 on the respiration rate of single Gammarus was determined using potentiometric respirometry. Exposure to 25 μg l −1 PBC for 44 h was found to significantly reduce the respiration rate of scuds when measured immediately after the exposure. The utility of potentiometric respirometry for measuring sublethal stress is discussed.
