Notes
The paper deals with the effect of three simplest polyphenols-- hydroquinone, pyrocatechol and resorcinol-- on survival rate and reproduction of Rotatoria and some lower Crustacea, as well as with the dioxybenzene capacity to change food and motor activity of the organisms in question. The effect of 10E-3; 10E-4; 10E-5; 10E-6; and 10E-8 M concentrations is analyzed. The Rotatoria species from Lake Baikal were the most sensitive to phenol solutions. Among the lower Crustacean high sensitivity to the reagents was manifested by Daphnia magna, and Chydorus sphaericus; Moina rectirostris was less sensitive.
