Abstract

Growth is an obvious and easily measured response, and is included in many standard toxicity tests as well as in research projects. Reduced growth is frequently traced back to reduced food intake, but even without reduced feeding, it is a logical outcome since organisms must expend energy to defend themselves against and detoxify contaminants. The more energy needed to detoxify pollutants, the less will be available for growth. In addition to overall body growth, molting, regeneration, development of calcified structures (shell and bone), carcinogenesis, and smoltification are other developmental processes that take place after larval stages. These processes are all sensitive to environmental contaminants.
