Toxicity test methods and observations using the freshwater amphipod, Hyalella / U. Borgmann.: En13-5/02-332E-PDF

"Hyalella is one of the most widely used freshwater toxicity test organisms in North America, both for water-only and for sediment tests. An official Environment Canada standard method for conducting sediment tests (EC 1997) is available. Hyalella has been cultured and used in water-only and sediment toxicity tests at the Canada Centre for Inland Waters (both in the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and in Environment Canada) since 1985. Additional information on conducting tests with Hyalella which has been collected at CCIW over the past 17 years, and is not available in EC 1997, is summarized below"--Abstract.
