Silica sand as an artificial control sediment in a 20 day Neanthes arenaceodentata toxicity test
10.1002/tox.1021.abs
The use of artificial control sediments in toxicity tests offers several advantages over field‐collected control sediments, especially for laboratory‐cultured organisms such as Neanthes arenaceodentata. Ten side‐by‐side trials were conducted using a field‐collected sediment from West Beach, Whidbey Island, Washington State, USA and an artificial sediment composed of a silica quartz sand commonly used for masonry applications. After a 20‐d exposure to sediment and clean overlying seawater, a similar biological response (as measured by the final average individual dry weight of Neanthes) was observed. The average individual dry weight was 14.77±3.83 and 14.70±3.57 mg/worm for the artificial and field‐collected negative controls, respectively. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
