註釋USEPA utilizes an automated static-renewal system in its sediment toxicity tests with H. azteca or C. tentans while Environment Canada recommends both the static and the static-renewal systems. The first objective of this study was to compare the performance of the static vs. the static-renewal option. The second objective of this study was to evaluate different food types and feeding rates for the static and static-renewal test options using H. azteca or C. riparius. A third objective was to ascertain a suitable criterion for minimum acceptable growth of control animals in clean sediment, according to each test option and species. A fourth objective was to evaluate the reproducibility of each of the two test options, as determined by a series of interlaboratory studies using Environment Canada's standardized test methods for H. azteca or C. riparius.
