- Summary
- Testing techniques to assess the acute effects of pesticides to sensitive life stages of freshwater mussels have been developed for the Ecological Effects Branch (EEB), Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The objective of this research was to define techniques for testing freshwater mussels, and not to promote or endorse the mussel species used. The techniques developed include testing of the following early life stages: mature glochidia, recently transformed juveniles, and older juveniles.
