Physiological responses of estuarine organisms to chlorine

Abstract

Chlorine produced stress to estuarine organisms may be indicated by physiological responses that are not reflected in mortality studies. The physiological parameters selected should relate to the functional physiology for a particular species. Time of exposure should be correlated with the behavior patterns for the test species. More research is required using multivariate designs on the effects of chlorine on selected euryhaline species at various salinities.
