Development of marine periphyton under mercury stress in a controlled ecosystem experiment

Our laboratory is engaged in studies on the ecotoxicology of chemicals and tries to bridge the gap between laboratory and field conditions by conducting experiments with natural Dutch coastal plankton communities enclosed in large plastic bags, in which the influence of pollutants is investigated. In the experiment reported here, in which mercury was added to the bags, substrates of glass and polyethylene were exposed in the water and the development of the biomass and the species composition of the periphyton was measured.
