Summary

The standardized aquatic microcosm (SAM) as developed by Taub is a 64-day multispecies assay designed to model a generic freshwater ecosystem. An extensive protocol is available that covers every aspect of the experiment. In addition, a series of computer programs is available at the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, for data analysis.The SAM has recently undergone a round-robin test series, in which good repeatability was demonstrated among the four laboratories that took part. These factors have led to our use of the SAM as an ecosystem-level assay for assessment of the effects and fate of disparate materials in aquatic systems.
