OSPAR / PARCOM 2006 Method
In the test adult Corophium are exposed to spiked sediments for 10 days. During this period burrowing behaviour may be assessed by counting the number of amphipods on the sediment surface or actively swimming. At the end of the experiment the amphipods are sieved from the sediment and the number of surviving animals recorded. Survival is then analysed statistically, comparing the controls with the treatments.
