| Abstract: | The effect of water samples from three dredging locations in Charleston Harbor and its tributaries upon the physiology of larval or juvenile zooplankton was determined, Daphnia were used for Location 1 with a salinity of 0‰, Paleomonetes for Location II with intermediate salinities and Polydora for Location III with highest salinities. Water from the disposal area of each location was most toxic. Samples from 200 yd downstream were intermediate in effect, and the dredge site sample was least toxic. |
