| Abstract: | Effects of three surfactants on the filtration rates by marine mussels were studied. The xenobiotics tested represented anionic,
cationic and non-ionic surfactants (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, a representative of a class of cationic surfactants;
sodium dodecyl sulphate, a representative of anionic alkyl sulfates; and Triton X-100, a representative of non-ionic hydroxyethylated
alkyl phenols). All three surfactants inhibited the clearance rates. The significance of the results for the ecology of marine
ecosystems is discussed. |
