TL;DR: The mussel test method was refined by determining the best feeding rate of a commercial algal mixture for 3 age groups (1, 2, and 3-wk old) of L. siliquoidea in a 7-d feeding experiment, and then used the derived optimal feeding rates to assess the sensitivity of the 3 ages of juveniles in a7-d reference toxicant (NaCl) test.
