由于其多样性和生产力，沿海系统是生态上重要的环境，但它们也可以作为通过径流和大气沉积运输的污染物的汇。草虾属的草虾是美国东部和墨西哥湾沿岸河口的常见居民，本文提出作为人类对河口系统影响的生物指标。这样使用草虾将涉及它们的整个生命周期，包括生物监测研究、现场和实验室毒性试验以及开发接触的生物标志物。目前对制定生态指标的兴趣使草虾研究重新具有相关性。本文综述了草虾的生态学研究、毒性测试和亚致死评估，并说明了它们如何为该属成为指示物种奠定了基础。综上所述，将传统的草虾检测方法与生态监测和暴露生物标志物相结合是一种可行的方法。
Coastal systems are ecologically important environments due to their diversity and productivity, but they can also serve as sinks for pollutants transported via runoff and atmospheric deposition. Grass shrimp, of the genus Palaemonetes, are a common inhabitant of East and Gulf coast estuaries of the United States and are proposed in this paper as a bioindicator of human impacts on estuarine systems. Using grass shrimp as such would involve their entire life cycle and consist of biomonitoring studies, in situ and laboratory toxicity tests, and development of biomarkers of exposure. The current interest in developing ecological indicators has put a renewed relevance on grass shrimp research. This paper reviews ecologically based studies, toxicity testing, and sublethal assessments in grass shrimp and shows how they have laid the groundwork for this genus to be an indicator species. It is concluded that correlating traditional grass shrimp assays with ecological monitoring and biomarkers of exposure is a goa...
