Toxicity testing in ecotoxicology often involves a range of organisms to provide a comprehensive understanding of potential impacts. Commonly used organisms include:
Bacteria: Serve as indicators of microbial health and function. Algae: Important for assessing impacts on primary producers in aquatic ecosystems. Invertebrates: Such as Daphnia, which are used to evaluate impacts on aquatic invertebrates. Fish: Represent higher trophic levels in aquatic systems. Plants: Used to assess effects on terrestrial and aquatic plant life.
