Abstract
A 24-hour static bioassay was performed with the suspended solid phase of bottom sediment from a highly industrialized river utilizing eggs of the spot, Leiostomus xanthurus. Hatching success was measured at four concentrations of elutriates prepared from sediment obtained from the confluence of the eastern and southern branches of the Elizabeth River adjacent to the Norfolk Shipbuilding and Drydock in Norfolk, Virginia. Test results indicated no significant effect on hatching success at any of the four test concentrations.
