| Article Name : | | | Effects Of Metals On The Natural Freshwater Plankton Assemblage Reared In The Laboratory | | Author Name : | | | Shaikh Parveen Rajjak,Bhosle Arjun Bapurao | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-2628 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | The effect of heavy metals on plankton was examined. The growth response of plankton assemblage to different concentrations of metals like iron, chromium, cadmium and zinc were evaluated by means of a static laboratory bioassay. It was also demonstrated that the plankton shows a stimulatory effect at low concentration of zinc and chromium. An increase in metal concentration caused a significant reduction in the growth of plankton cells. | | Keywords : | | - Chromium, Effects, Growth response, Heavy metals, Plankton.,
