| Abstract: | The effects of sublethal concentrations of freshwater and copper on the burying responses of the intertidal marine gastropod, Polinices incei, are presented. Such responses are inhibited by both pollutants and the two also act additively. Behavioural responses obtained in a 30 min assay were found to be good predictors of the results of 96 h lethal assays. The results are discussed in light of previous work. |
