Abstract
Two marine phytoplanktonic algae, Tetraselmis chui and Hymenomonas carterae (Braarud and Fagerland) Braarud, were examined for variations in response to arsenic exposure. To observe the effects on growth, a simple, precise and accurate method was developed to measure growth characteristics. A computer was devised to simplify algal growth curve analysis. Various algal assay techniques were discussed.
