Water flea , development

The rate of development of the water flea (Alona affinis) from egg to adult is activated, since a plot of ln(development rate) (as y ) against 1 IT (as x )... 

Level 3b If it can be justified that the bioavailability model of a species within the same trophic level can be applied to those species for which no specific bioavailability model has been developed (e.g. insects, amphibians, molluscs), the option of full read-across (Level 3b) should be preferred as it can be considered the most realistic assessment of bioavailability refinement. In case of a full read-across, the chronic Daphnia magna (water flea) BLM is used to predict metal toxicity to all other invertebrates, the chronic Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata BLM to predict metal toxicity to all other algae, and the chronic Oncorhynchus mykiss (rainbow trout) BLM to predict the toxicity to all other fish, for example.
