Toxicity of Heavy Metals in Seawater to Juvenile Heart Urchins (Abatus spp)

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

These data sets describe the toxicity of lead, coppyer, zinc and cadmium spiked seawater to the juveniles of Abatus ingens and Abatus nimrodi. Metals were tested separately over exposure periods of 96 and 240 hours. The experimental endpoint was mortality as defined by cessation of observable movement. The coding system for the data files is J(juvenile)An (Abatus nimrodi) or Ai (Abatus ingens) - Metal name_Dates of the experiment the period of the observation (96 hour or 240 hour). This work falls under the umbrella project ASAC_2201. The fields in this dataset are: Species Toxicant Date Replicate Concentration Moving pH Salinity Dissolved Oxygen
