Bioassays are a useful tool for detecting possible impacts of pollutants on biota. Hyalella curvispina is an epibenthic amphipod native to South America used to evaluate the toxicity of environmental samples. However, information gaps persist regarding their sensitivity to certain pollutants and their tolerance to salinity, so this research provides new data to characterize their response. In this work, the sensitivity to copper and phenanthrene of Hyalella curvispina was analyzed, as well as its tolerance to salinity. The 96h LC50 obtained for copper was 184 µg Cu / l, while the 10-day LC50 was 68 µg Cu / l. Regarding salinity, the results showed an LC50 96h = 13, the LC50 10 days = 11 and a significant inhibition in growth of 18% compared to the control in organisms exposed to 17.2 salinity. For phenanthrene, no significant lethal response was obtained in any of the applied treatments, which suggests that H. curvispina would have a greater tolerance to phenanthrene than other amphipods, however, these preliminary results should be verified covering higher levels of exposure.
