Use of multispecies freshwater biomonitor (MFB) to assess behavioral changes of guppy poecilia reticulata and freshwater prawn macrobrachium lanchesteri in response to cadmium

The Multispecies Freshwater Biomonitor¨ (MFB) uses the measurement and analysis of different types of behaviours from different aquatic organisms for monitoring the water quality in freshwater ecosystem. The aim of this study was to determine the specific response of freshwater shrimp (Macrobrachium...
