The effects of temperature on the sensitivity of Daphnia pulex to two simulated industrial effluents

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of temperature on the sensitivity of mixed age adult Daphnia pulex to a simulated cooling tower blowdown and a simulated refinery effluent. In addition, the metabolic rate compensation capability of Daphnia exposed to temperature was determined. A...
