Acute Toxicity of Cadmium on Ophelia bicornis Savigny, 1822

“…Literature has recommended polychaetes in ecotoxicological studies (Bat and Raffaelli, 1998;Bat et al, 2001). Ophelia bicornis is known to prefer clean habitats in Sinop coasts of the Black Sea (Dagli et al, 2015) and is also sensitive to a broad range of toxic chemicals (Bat et al, 2016). No literature is available concerning the toxicity of heavy metal on O. bicornis from the Black Sea coasts.…”
