A Pilot Study for Ambient Toxicity Testing in Chesapeake Bay-Year 4 Report

Publication date:

This study was designed to evaluate ambient toxicity in the Chesapeake Bay watershed by using a battery of water column and sediment toxicity tests. A team of scientists from two Chesapeake Bay research laboratories and Maryland Department of the Environment worked jointly to complete this goal. Water column toxicity studies and overall project management was directed by the University of Maryland's Agricultural Experiment Station. SEdiment toxicity tests and selected sediment chemistry was managed by Old Dominion University Applied Marine Research Laboratory. Maryland Department of the Environment was responsible for selected sediment chemistry. This report summarizes data from the fourth year of a four-year ambient toxicity testing program.
