Özet
Toxicity of ecologicaly stresfull areas of Izmir Bay.Toxicities of waters and sediments of Izmir Bay which is known as extensively polluted by anthropogenic activities were investigated using sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816), the dominant echinoid species of the Mediterranean.Emryotoxicity was studied by assessing developmental defects in embryo exposed to waters and sediments were sampled five sites in inner part of Izmir Bay.In the results of microscopic analysis of larvae or embryos exposed to waters or sediments during emryogenesis (from zigot up to pluteus larval stage),except one site which was almost near reference site both water and sediments samples from other four sites were determined that they had embryotoxic effects on sea urchin.
