abstract:
Ostreopsis ovata toxicity has been estimated through acute bioassays by using two crustaceans nauplii Artemia franciscana (Kellog, 1906) and Tigriopus fulvus (Fisher, 1860). The LC50 values of both specimens showed a high sensitivity towards O. ovata. Our results evidenced that A. franciscana showed a higher sensitivity than T. fulvus.
