The test method utilized in this study permitted the measurement of growth and fecundity of an harpacticoid chronically stressed by sublethal concentrations of water soluble extracts of fuel oil. Concomitantly, since the fecundity of the harpacticoid depended on the sustained availability of nutritionally adequate food algae and/or bacteria then the reproductive behavior of the herbivore reflected the viability of the prey species as associated entities in a trophically linked complex. Successful production of the F/sub 2/ generation should be the principal and perhaps only criterion for the identification of potentially toxic concentrations of pollutants.
