Impact of interaction between Limnoperna fortunei and Roundup Max on freshwater phytoplankton: An in situ approach in Salto Grande reservoir (Argentina).

The joint impact of the glyphosate-based commercial formulation Roundup Max and the invasive mussel Limnoperna fortunei on phytoplankton and water quality was assessed in Salto Grande reservoir, a scenario were both stressors coexist. We performed an in situ mesocosm approach, through a 7-day experiment using 400-L enclosures. The following treatments were applied by triplicate: addition of 250 mussels (M); addition of 5 mg L of active ingredient (a.
