    Explanation:

    Bioassays -

    Bioassays is an analytical method to assess the effect of marine pollutant on the organism by estimating the concentration at which 50% of the test organisms die after exposing the test organisms for a specified time.

    It can be done by quantitative or by qualitative experiment, or direct or indirect.

    It is used to detect the biological hazards or give the quality assessment of the mixture.
