Abstract
Dynamics of mortality of chosen representatives of hydro-fauna were examined according to changes of blue-greens (genera: Microcystis)algal concentrations. Algal concentrations that caused 50% (LC50) and the total mortality of testing organisms were determined. There was checked a possibility of the using pigment-cells′ reactions and values of pH of blood of testing organism as indicators of toxic impact of blue-green algae.
