- Abstract
The article examines the implications of sublethal Zinc chloride exposure on the reproduction of Moina irrasa, a cladoceran that are commonly found at the Yangtze River in China. Such environmental problems has been caused by various industrial activities where aquatic ecosystems have been contaminated by metals. For the investigation process, a series of endpoints have been carried out in order to provide proper parameter in measuring the chronic toxicity of Zinc. The result showed that the effects of Zinc on the individual brood size of Moina irrasa were either stimulatory or inhibitory, thus depending on the strength and duration of the exposure.
