Water contamination and poor water quality in general have escalated in recent years. Streams and rivers located near dairy farms are commonly polluted by a byproduct of cheese making,whey. Due to factors such as water degradation, amphibian species have been experiencing rapid population declines worldwide. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of whey waste on Isthmohyla pseudopuma tadpole growth and survival. It was found that whey waste generally has a negative effect on I. pseudopuma tadpole survival and little effect on the growth. Additional observations such as metamorphosis were observed towards the end of the experiment, further research should look into rate of metamorphosis and development of deformities (if any...
