- Abstract
The article evaluates the water quality of the Reconquista river through acute bioassays employing juvenile Cnesterodon decemmaculatus as test organism in Argentina. Tests were performed to determine the impact of pollution pulses simulated by adding cadmium to the samples. It is noted that the Reconquista river is a body of water in the Province of Buenos Aires that harbors along its margins a great number of factories and some three million inhabitants, receiving residual sewage water and poorly treated or untreated industrial effluents.
