Chromium tolerance and metabolic rate in Mytilopsis sallei, a fouling bivalve which inhabits Visakhapatnam harbour were studied at different salinities such as 10, 15, 25, 32 and 35%o. The LC50 values were found to increase with increasing salinities indicating a decrease in toxicity. However, low salinities did not affect the toxicity of chromium. The metabolic rate of the control animals (without toxicant exposure) showed an increasing trend up to 32%o followed by a decrease at 35%o. In general, different concentrations of chromium (1.9 to 14.4 ppm) inhibited the metabolic rate at all salinities studied. |
