Abstract

Considering the role of potassium dichromate in toxicology studies as a reference substance and the lack of information about this substance for Artemia urmiana, the present research aims to provide basic information about the toxicity of this reference substance. Two species of Artemia urmiana and Artemia franciscana were used in this research. 10 nauplii of instar II of Artemia urmiana and Artemia franciscana were exposed to different concentrations of potassium dichromate (100, 60, 40, 20, 10, 5) and (160, 140, 100, 80, 60, 40, 20) repectively for 24 hours. LC50, LOEC and NOEC values for Artemia franciscana and Artemia urmiana species were 23, 20, 10 and 69, 40, 20 mg/L at salinity of 35 g/L, respectively. Also, the effect of salinity on toxicity of this substance in two Artemia species was investigated. The results of this research showed that with the increase in salinity, the resistance of both Artemia species to potassium dichromate toxicity increased. Besides, resistance of A. urmiana species to potassium dichromate was significantly higher than A. franciscana species at both salinity levels.
