Mean percentage of growth inhibition (n = 3), total drift (n = 4) and immediate population decline of the benthic microalgae <i>Cylindrotheca</i><i>closterium</i> exposed to different salinities.

<div><p>Data of immediate decline represent the sum of 12-h drift percentages and 72-h growth inhibition percentages of the remaining cells.</p> <p>Error bars indicate + 1 standard deviation. Statistical differences in responses relative to the control are indicated by * (p<0.05) and ** (p<0.01) according to the Dunnett’s multiple comparison test.</p></div
