Description / Abstract:
This International Standard specifies a method for determining
the effects of chemical and aqueous samples on the embryo-larval
development of marine bivalves. It allows the determination of the
concentration levels that result in an abnormality in embryo-larval
development. This test is suitable for salinity ranges between 20
and 40 for mussels and between 25 and 35 for oysters. This method
applies to
— chemical substances and preparations,
— marine and brackish waters,
— streams and aqueous effluents (urban, agricultural, industrial
effluents, etc.) as long as the salinity is adjusted and/or
dilution is limited so that the aforementioned salinity ranges are
respected, and
— aqueous extracts (pore water, elutriates, eluates, and
leachates) from sediments and petroleum products.
