| Resumo: |
Although standardization of toxicity tests on aquatic organisms is an urgent necessity, very little has yet been achieved for the marine environment. As a first step in this direction, a simple, inexpensive and reliable short-term routine test with <i>Artemia</i> larvae is proposed. This test is the result of an extensive study in our laboratory, taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of <i>Artemia</i> bioassays published by various authors. The major advantage of the brine shrimp as a test species is its continuous availability under the form of dry cysts which can be hatched very easily; this eliminates all biological, technological, and financial problems of stock recruitment and/or culturing. The acute test presented is based on the determination of the LC<sub>50</sub>-24 hr of instar II-III nauplii of a specific <i>Artemia</i> strain. Presently this test is the subject of an intercalibration exercise in North America: an analogous exercise is now in progress in the European Economic Community countries.
