Abstract
The highly alkaline wastes from the ash lagoons at the Huntly thermal power station are a potential hazard to the upstream migration of the shrimp Paratya curvirostris. To test the response of the shrimp to such wastes migrating shrimp were exposed for 48 h in the laboratory to a pH range of 7.47–10.66. The relation between the median period of survival and pH was a typical acute lethal response with an asymptotic value of pH 9.71.
