Abstract

The procedure is described for a toxicity test of an oil dispersant (Dispolene 325) using fish (Mugil ramada, atherina hepsetus and Aphanius fasciatus ) and molluscs (Mytilus galloprovincialis and Tapes decussatus ). Findings show the dispersant to be very toxic even at low concentrations; the most resistant species shows a complete mortality in a few minutes.
