NeedApproximately 80 percent of ocean pollution

causes are land based, or human induced. Twenty percent of ocean pollution is caused by ocean based activities.

40% of America's rivers and lakes are too polluted for fishing, swimming, or aquatic life.

Two-thirds of US estuaries and bays are either moderately or severely degraded from eutrophication

The US EPA has warned that sewage levels in rivers could be back to the super-polluted levels of the 1970s by the year 2016.

Pollutant: DetergentDestroy the mucus layers that protect

organisms from bacteria and parasites.  Severe damage to the gills.All organisms will die when concentrations get

near 15 parts per million (ppm). Concentrations as low as 5 ppm will kill eggs.  Americans use about 8.3 billion pounds of dry

detergent and a billion gallons of liquid detergent each year.

Kill life in rivers, streams and oceans by causing “Algae Blooms/Red Tides”.

Ecosystems dominated by aquatic macrophytes are among the most productive in the world

Aquatic plants possessing an outstanding ability for assimilating nutrients and creating favorable conditions for decomposition.

Creates huge success in restoration in streams, lakes, and wetlands.

Literature Review 2 MacRae, Thomas H., and Amritanshu S. Pandey. "Effects of Metals on Early Life Stages of the Brine Shrimp,Artemia: A

Developmental Toxicity Assay." Effects of Metals on Early Life Stages of the Brine Shrimp,Artemia: A Developmental Toxicity Assay 20.2 (1991): 247-52. Springer Link. Springer New York. Web. 30 Apr. 2010. <http://www.springerlink.com/content/r767582126335462/>.

Need for simple, fast and inexpensive tests to study metal pollution in the marine environment.

Study used four metals: cupric sulfate, lead nitrate, zinc sulfate and nickel sulfate, on emergence and hatching of the brine shrimp (Artemia).

Provide a convenient method to assay metal effects on development.

Result show it’s apparent that use of early stages of Artemia is an alternative to the examination of slower growing animals for the study of metal pollution in coastal marine waters.
