Abstract

The trochid snail Monodonta turbinata was exposed to various concentrations of mercury and cadmium salts at different temperatures. Survival was significantly affected by salt concentration and by temperature, as well as by the interaction between them, so that the toxicities of both mercury and cadmium salts were found to be enhanced at higher temperatures. The ecological significance of these results on this Mediterranean littoral trochid is discussed.
