What is the correct way to express concentration of water accomodated fractions of diesel oil for acute and chronic toxicity testing?

11 January 2017 1 7K Report

My work is on marine eco-toxicology. I have to conduct acute and chronic toxicity test of diesel oil on marine organisms to derive sea water quality criteria.

Is it as EC50, NOEC and LOEC BY measuring concentration of WAF OR as EL50, NOEL AND LOEL? by means of loading rate concept. Kindly give your justification.
