- A battery of sediment bioassays was performed for the sediments from the intertidal flat zone along the middle west coast of Korea to assess their potential toxicity. In the bioassayss, three crustaceans, Daphnia magna, Nitocra spinipes, and Hyalella azteca were exposed to 16% sediments (we weight) collected from 14 sites. Immobility (%) was checked as an endpoint after 24- and 48-h exposures to Daphnia magna and after 69-h exposure of Hyalella azteca and Nitocra spinipes. Among the three bioassays, the 48-h Daphnia bioassay showed the most distinct differential sensitivity in relation to sediment contamination, while the Notocra and the Hyalella bioassays failed to show the differential sensitivity properly among the sites classified as polluted. Significantly different levels of immobility (%) were obtained between the sites classified as chemical/nutrient poluted and the sites classified as non-polluted in the Daphnia bioassays, but not in the Nitocra bioassay and the Hyalella bioassay. Some differences of toxic response to the same sediments among bioassays were observed, suggesting that there may be a chemical specificity of response sensitivity to sediment toxicity, due to differences in bioavailability of sediment toxicants among test species.
