By means of acute toxicity and life-table experiments, this paper studied the acute toxicity of molybdenum (Mo) to Moina macrocopa and the effects of Mo on the life-table demographic parameters of M. macrocopa. The 48 h LC50 of M. macrocopa for Mo was 134.46 mg·L-1, with the 95% confidence interval of 107.05-194.53 mg·L-1. At concentrations of 2.0-15.0 mg·L-1, Mo had no significant effects on the life expectancy at birth, generation time, average life span, and net reproduction rate, but affected the intrin...
