Daphnia Magna Acute Immobilization Test: an Opportunity to Test the Ecotoxicity of Alternative Fuels

Abstract

The increasing need for environmental protection has led to the development of alternative biofuels. While the use of alternative fuels has significantly increased recently, only a few studies have addressed the problem of their ecotoxicity. The main aim of this work was to provide a short review of the \textit{Daphnia magna} acute immobilization test, which has been the most commonly discussed in the literature.
