Abstract	Assessing the risk of effluents and other anthropogenic inputs to the receiving environment is ultimately best done on a site-specific basis, which often requires toxicity tests using organisms relevant to that environment. Additionally, the test species or life stage needs to be available for a reasonable portion of the year to allow temporal fluctuations to be assessed. A 48-h larval development toxicity test using the marine polychaete Galeolaria caespitosa was developed. This test was developed as G. caespitosa releases viable gametes year-round, and the test species is environmentally relevant to the marine system receiving the liquid effluent being evaluated. Toxicity tests were conducted using G. caespitosa from different locations and evaluating the gamete response to copper. All population responses were comparable, with EC50 values ranging from 16 to 40 μg/L copper (as CuCl2· 2H2O). Toxicity tests were also conducted using G. caespitosa gametes with an effluent produced by a lead smelting operation. The response of the G. caespitosa test with this effluent was compared with three other test methods using two microalgal species, Isochrysis sp. and Nitzschia closterium, and gametes from the mussel Mytilus edulis. The G. caespitosa larval development toxicity test was the most sensitive test to the effluent, with EC50 values ranging from 1–23% effluent, while it ranked second in sensitivity to copper. This test could be applied to other common serpulids worldwide.
