[Use of three species of crustacea as test animals for the toxicity of two salts of heavy metals].

The utilization of marine amphipods Podocerus fulanus and Corophium acherusicum, and the marine isopod Paracerceis sculpta in heavy metal toxicity tests (Cd and Cu) demonstrated on the one hand, the value of these animals as tests subjects when exposed to various polluting agents and, on the other hand their tolerance to heavy metals in acute toxicity tests.
