| Impact Description | Rhithropanopeus harrisii larvae have been used for a variety of toxicology studies to identify lethal and sublethal concentrations. The attributes of Rhithropanopeus harrisii for these studies are that (1) the larvae are easy to rear in the laboratory with low mortality; (2) they are robust and can complete development in a wide range of temperatures and salinities; and (3) since they are retained in estuaries, they would be exposed to land runoff that could contain pesticides, herbicides, and other potential toxicants. |
