Experimental design
25 per tank, 3 tanks per dose,
3 ∑PAH levels + control
2009
survival at 47 days
15 per tank, 6 tanks per dose,
4 ∑PAH levels + control
2011

Experimental design
2009, clean and hot sediments mixed by hand in
exposure tanks, allowed to settle
2011, clean and hot sediment homogenized as
mud with a paint mixer, then distributed to tanks
