Bioassays: Advanced Methods and Applications provides a thorough understanding of the applications of bioassays in monitoring toxicity in aquatic ecosystems. It reviews the newest tests and applications in discovering compounds and toxins in the environment, covering all suitable organisms, from bacteria, to microorganisms, to higher plants, including invertebrates and vertebrates. By learning about newer tests, water pollution control testing can be less time and labor consuming, and less expensive. This book will be helpful for anyone working in aquatic environments or those who need an introduction to ecotoxicology or bioassays, from investigators, to technicians and students.

• Features chapters written by internationally renowned researchers in the field, all actively involved in the development and application of bioassays
• Gives the reader an understanding of the advantages and deficiencies of available tests
• Addresses the problem of understanding the impact of toxins in an aquatic environment and how to assess them
