“…These isopods are among the most sensitive aquatic invertebrates to these metals, comparable to Gammarus pulex (Williams et al, 1985), Daphnia magna (Bellavere & Gorbi, 1981), Allorchestes compressa -Y C·.. t _1~i (Ahsanullah & Florence, 1984) and Tisbe holothuriae (Verriopoulos & Hardouvelis, 1988).…”

“…Their sensitivity to heavy metals is well documented (Ahsanullah et al, 1981a, b;Bellavere & Gorbi, 1981;Moraitou-Apostolopoulou & Verriopoulos, 1982;Ahsanullah & Florence, 1984;Engel & Brouwer, 1984;Hopkin etal., 1985;Williams et al, 1985;Blaylock et al, 1985;Amiard et al, 1987;de Nicola Giudici etal., 1986a, 1986b1987a, 1987bde Nicola Giudici & Guarino, 1988;Guarino & de Nicola Giudici, 1987;Verriopoulos etal., 1987). The isopod Asellus aquaticus (L.) occupies the mesosaprobic-fB waters of the palaearctic and has been demonstrated to be sensitive to some heavy metals (Migliore et al, 1987;.…”

Effects of heavy metals on the isopod Asellus aquaticus (L.) are studied by static toxicity tests. Results demonstrate that the species is sensitive to Cd + 2, Cr + 6, Cu + 2, Fe + 3, Hg + 2, Ni + 2, Pb + 2 and Zn + 2, but the toxicity of each metal is different. Differences are also found between adults and between adults and juveniles. The comparative analysis of all data on the toxicity has been performed on the concentrations of metal ions and not on metal compound concentrations.Criteria for establishing water quality in order to guarantee protection of the environment are discussed.

“…The most used assay is the short-term lethality test on fish, but it is a time-consuming and costly assay and this has promoted the development of various short-term assays performed on bacteria, fungi, protozoa, or algae (Bellavere and Gorbi, 1981;Bitton, 1983;Blaise, 1991;Kupillas et al, 1991;Bragadin et al, 1992;Cascorbi et al, 1993;Belabed et al, 1994;Madoni et al, 1994;Schaefer et al, 1994). The response of the first bioassays was to provide a statement of the concentration of a substance which generated lethal effects (LD 50 ).…”

“…Also, they are native to freshwater ecosystems, which is why many authors propose their use as test organisms in ecotoxicological assays (Ravera, 1977;Bellavere and Gorbi, 1981;Münzinger, 1987;Oliveira-Filho et al, 2004. This species has been cultivated in the laboratory of ecotoxicology at Embrapa Cerrados, specifically for use in bioassays.…”

Water hardness is a property depending on the presence of alkaline earth metals, mainly calcium and magnesium. Among the strategies for water quality monitoring, ecotoxicological assays are performed to minimize impacts and classify water bodies. For these laboratory evaluations parameters are previously defined in the guidelines, including water hardness for both cultivation and testing medium. The present work was performed to evaluate the effects of different levels of water hardness on the survival and reproduction of the freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata and discuss the influence of natural water hardness on the results of ecotoxicological tests with these environmental samples. Comparing the groups it was possible to observe that those maintained in waters with least hardness had lower reproductive success, while the groups maintained in highest hardness showed better reproduction. These data show that waters with low hardness make the reproduction of the snail B. glabrata unfeasible, and this reveal a problem for ecotoxicity assays using natural water samples.Keywords: ecotoxicology, biological assays, standard methods, guidelines, environmental factors.Implicações da dureza da água nas avaliações ecotoxicológicas com propósitos reguladores de qualidade da água: um estudo de caso com o caramujo aquático Biomphalaria glabrata ResumoA dureza da água é uma propriedade dependente da presença de metais alcalino terrosos, principalmente cálcio e magnésio. Entre as estratégias para monitorar a qualidade da água ensaios ecotoxicológicos são realizados para minimizar impactos e classificar os corpos hídricos. Para essas avaliações em laboratório, parâmetros são previamente definidos nos protocolos, incluindo a dureza da água para cultivo e para a água de diluição. O presente trabalho foi realizado para avaliar os efeitos de diferentes níveis de dureza da água sobre a sobrevivência e a reprodução do caramujo de água doce Biomphalaria glabrata e discutir a influência da dureza de águas naturais nos resultados dos testes ecotoxicológicos com estas amostras ambientais. Comparando os grupos foi possível observar que aqueles mantidos em águas com menor dureza tiveram pior sucesso reprodutivo, enquanto os mantidos nas águas com maiores durezas tiveram melhor reprodução. Esses dados mostram que águas com baixas durezas tornam a reprodução do caramujo B. glabrata inviável, e esse fato revela-se como um problema para os ensaios ecotoxicológicos utilizando amostras de água naturais.Palavras-chave: ecotoxicologia, ensaios biológicos, métodos padrão, protocolos, fatores ambientais.
