“…The amphipod Corophium urdaibaiense, recently described as a new species (Marquiegui and Perez 2006), together with Corophium multisetusum, are probably one of the most appropriate marine species to be used to evaluate sediment toxicity in the North coast of Spain (Pérez 2006). This species inhabits several estuaries in the Cantabrian Coast (S. Bay of Biscay), in the high intertidal mudflats (Pérez et al 2007), principally those composed by muddy sand.…”

Two factors, seasonality and body size, were studied to determine their influence on the sensitivity of the amphipods Corophium urdaibaiense and Corophium multisetosum to toxicants. Seasonality was studied by comparing LC50 values for cadmium and ammonia toxicity to both species over a year. Body size effect was studied by comparing LC50 values of ammonia in three size categories of C. urdaibaiense. Except for the case of C. urdaibaiense with ammonia as a toxicant, the sensitivity was maximum during summer and minimum during winter. Furthermore, differences in sensitivities were found among the three body size groups studied.
