Amphipod and Sea Urchin tests to assess the toxicity of Mediterranean sediments: the case of Portmán Bay
The sediment formed by the tailings of an abandoned mine, which discharged into Portmán Bay, Murcia, SE-Spain, was tested to establish a possible gradient of heavy metals. The results were compared with tolerance limits of what was calculated from control sites. Whole sediment toxicity tests were pe...
