The temperature dependence of the acute toxicity of heavy metals (cadmium, copper and mercury) to a freshwater pond snail, Lymnae aluteola L.
Responses of a freshwater pulmonate snail Lymnae aluteola L. to copper, cadmium and mercury were observed at four temperatures in the range of 15.0 oC to 30.0 oC. Acute static bioassays were carried out at 15.0 oC, 20.0 oC, 25.0 oC and 30.0 oC to determine the percent mortality and median lethal co...
