The increasing need for environmental protection has led to the development of alternative biofuels. While the use of alternative fuels has significantly increased recently, only a few studies have addressed the problem of their ecotoxicity. The main aim of this work was to provide a short review of the \textit{Daphnia magna} acute immobilization test, which has been the most commonly discussed in the literature.
