main conclusions<br />

PWD RP T3200-1203<br />

(1) The use of phosphatic clay and coagulant<br />

are not likely to have a detectable toxic effect<br />

on the benthos. Field validation needed.<br />

(2) Survival of the test species to clay, PAC<br />

and K. brevis was species-specific. specific. Survival,<br />

with one exception, was similar to K. brevis<br />

alone.
