Ecotoxicity of phenol and cresols to aquatic organisms: A review.
TL;DR: The aim of this literature review was to summarise the knowledge of the behaviour, and toxicity on marine and freshwater organisms, of phenols as well as to try to select a series of sensitive biomarkers suitable for ecotoxicological assessment and environmental monitoring in aquatic environments.

TL;DR: The study demonstrated the need to include crustacean ostracods in a battery of biotests to detect the presence of hazardous chemicals in soils, sewage sludges, sediments and aquatic systems.

Effects of antifouling biocides to the germination and growth of the marine macroalga, Hormosira banksii (Turner) Desicaine.
TL;DR: Germination and growth inhibition tests using the marine macroalga, Hormosira banksii (Turner) Desicaine were conducted to evaluate the toxicity of four new antifouling biocides in relation to tributyltin-oxide (TBTO).

Copper ecotoxicology of marine algae: a methodological appraisal
TL;DR: The importance of following trace metal clean techniques for the comparison and interpretation of data obtained on copper ecotoxicology in algae is discussed.

Restoring rocky intertidal communities: Lessons from a benthic macroalgal ecosystem engineer
TL;DR: The role of benthic macroalgae as ecosystem engineers is reviewed and particularly on the temperate Australasian fucoid Hormosira banksii as a case study for rocky intertidal restoration efforts.

Fundamentals of Aquatic Toxicology : Effects, Environmental Fate, and Risk Assessment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe basic toxicological concepts and methodologies used in aquatic toxicity testing, including the philosophies underlying testing strategies now required to meet and support regulatory standards, and discuss various factors that affect transport, transformation, ultimate distribution, and accumulation of chemicals in the aquatic environment, along with the use of modelling to predict fate.

Aquatic Toxicology and Hazard Assessment: Sixth Symposium
TL;DR: The 6th annual ASTM Symposium on aquatic toxicology as discussed by the authors presented dissemination of ideas, new concepts, methods, and research results in both applied and theoretical aquatic toxicity and hazard assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term toxicity of zinc to bacteria and algae in periphyton communities from the river Göta Älv, based on a microcosm study
TL;DR: There is a discrepancy in effect concentrations between biomass-dependent variables and other structure-related variables (including PICT) is due to an interaction between zinc and phosphorus leading to nutrient depletion, which implies that there may be many rivers affected by zinc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review on toxicity testing with marine macroalgae and the need for method standardization--exemplified with copper and phenol.
Britta Eklund,Lena Kautsky +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that many stages in the lifecycle of macroalgae are often more sensitive to toxic substances than other aquatic organisms, and tests using macroalgai may discover toxicity earlier, which would in turn protect the fauna.

Copper toxicity to microscopic stages of giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera:interpopulation comparisons and temporal variability
TL;DR: Temporal variability in sensitivity of microscopic stages of giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera to copper was greater than that between 3 tests done consecutively within 1 mo, indicating temporal variability in response to copper.
