Median lethal concentrations of metals (LC50) were shown to be minimal for some species of family Mysidae and order Cladocera. Dependence of toxicoresistance on ontogenesis stage and other biological peculiarities of the test-objects and on abiotic environmental factors was shown. Series of decreasing toxicity of metals for marine and freshwater Crustaceans were presented. Metal pollution of the non-freezing water bodies in summer was shown to be of maximal hazard for Crustaceans. %8 2011-01-11
