| Summary: | Ecotoxicological assays have been used as an important tool in the evaluation of environmental quality. With the objective
to emphasize the relevance of the use of native organisms in short-duration chronic assays, this study evaluated the potential of
Hyphessobrycon callistus. Static tests were carried through exposing adult organisms to the following concentrations of Ammonia
Chloride (NH4Cl): 0.5; 0.75; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0; e 2.5 mg.L-1. The sensitivity response was about 3 to 4 times lesser than that of assays reported
in the literature. This way, complementary studies are necessary to establish the optimal conditions of exposition and to verify the
possibility of a more sensible subletal effect. |
