Abstract
Recently, investigators have decreased the test levels of exposure, to concentrate on the physiological changes that are induced in organisms exposed to chronic or low levels of pollutants. One of the procedures that can be used in toxicity experiments to study organismal responses at the biochemical-cellular level is the measurement of Adenylate Energy Charge or AEC. This study was conducted to determine if values of Adenylate Energy Charge can be used as an index of sublethal stress for phytoplankton exposed to toxic materials. The results are contrasted with changes in biomass (chlorophyll a and ATP) as well as variations in primary production.
