| Abstract: | The effect of temperature on the toxicity of free chlorine and chloramine to several species of marine animals is reviewed. For all species tested, except the copepod Acartia tonsa, temperature has a synergistic effect on the toxicity of both halogen forms. It is suggested that the effect of temperature in enhancing the toxic effects of chlorinated cooling waters to marine animals is due to an interaction of uptake rates and regulation of physiological rates and the greatest enhancement in sensitivity could be expected at the upper limit of a species' thermal tolerance. |
