Journal Title: Ecologia Balkanica - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The current paper studies the change of respiratory rate and survival of [i]Dreissena polymorpha[/i] at short exposure to zinc under laboratory conditions. The experiment is lasted 96h and three different concentrations of ZnSO4.7H2O were used - 0.5mg/l, 1.5mg/l; 2,0 mg/l. Survival and intensity of breathing of[i] Dreissena polymorpha[/i] decreases with the increasing concentration of zinc in the water.
