The effect of sublethal concentrations of selected toxicants on the negative phototactic response of Dugesia tigrina

Acute bioassys were conducted on the planarian, Dugesia tigrina, to determine the toxicity of zinc, nickel, cadmium, copper, chromium, diquat, and ABS. The order of toxicity from most toxic to least toxic was: copper cadmium nickel zinc ABS chromium diquat. From these LC₅₀ values sublethal concent...
