Abstract:

Industrial effluent based on printing and dying factories contain heavy metals. Present study reveals with bioassay test on fresh water zooplankton with special reference to Daphnia magna. Planktons are indicator species for biomonitoring of a few water pollutants. Bioassay experiments were conducted to find out lethal concentration (LC50) values of test chemical CuSO4 and Pb(NO3)2. Sublethal concentration of Cu was tested in the range of .05 to .150 mg/l. Experiment with Pb was conducted at concentrations ranging from .110 to .300 mg/l. Neonates less than 24 h old were used for toxicity test.

Keywords:

Textile effluent, Heavy metal, Zooplankton, Daphnia magna, Bioassay, Bioindicator.
