Wetland Animal Bioassay of Saltwater Dredged Material
Abstract
This note introduces the concept of using a wetland animal as an indicator of the contaminants in dredged material proposed for disposal in a wetland environment. An example of the application of an animal bioassay procedure to saltwater dredged material in a wetland creation environment was reported in a paper entitled "Application of a Wetland Animal Bioassay for Determining Toxic Metal Uptake from Dredged Material," which was presented at the International Symposium of Ecotoxicological Testing for the Marine Environment (Simmers, Rhett, and Lee 1984). The text of this note was taken from the paper.
