Abstract
Short term impact of water quality on the excretion and respiration ra tes of Euterpina acutifrons, revealed that industrial water significan tly lowered the metabolic activity of the organism, while agricultural water showed insignificant effect. Fed organisms reported higher meta bolic rates. Derived N/P and O/P ratios are elevated for industrial wa ter (10.8 and 370) while O/N were higher for agricultural water (56).
