Review of Field Validation Studies of Sediment Bioassays for the Regulatory Evaluation of Dredged Material

Abstract

This technical note reviews published field validation studies of sediment bioassays to recommend the design and conduct of such studies in the future. The primary impetus for this review is to develop an approach for the validation of emerging chronic sublethal sediment toxicity tests for the regulatory evaluation of dredged material.
