An in situ postexposure feeding assay with Carcinus maenas for estuarine sediment-overlying water toxicity evaluations

This study developed and evaluated a short-term sublethal in situ toxicity assay for estuarine sediment-overlying waters, with the crab Carcinus maenas (L.) based on postexposure feeding. It consisted of a 48-h in situ exposure period followed by a short postexposure feeding period (30 min). A preci...
