“…Adult females of this species were successfully used as test organisms to assess estuarine sediment quality (Araújo-Castro, 2008;Araújo-Castro et al, 2009). Lavorante et al (2013) proposed a novel, simple protocol using T. biminiensis nauplii as test organisms for seawater samples, but did not test the method using environmental samples or compare their results to any another established protocol, as was done in the present study.…”

“…However, the protocol involving 96-well plates is not recommended, as the technical work proved very difficult. The use of groups of nauplii in seawater samples, as reported by Lavorante et al (2013), seems to be a better protocol for this organism, as it is simpler.…”

“…The female harpacticoid copepod Tisbe biminiensis Volkman-Rocco (1973) has been successfully used in toxicity tests with sediments since 2003 (Araújo-Castro, 2008;Araújo-Castro et al, 2009). Recently, Lavorante et al (2013) proposed a novel, simple ecotoxicological protocol for seawater samples using T. biminiensis nauplii. The authors demonstrated that the early development stages of this species are as sensitive as other copepod species, but less sensitive than L. variegatus embryos to zinc.…”

Bioassays to determine the toxicity of water have been used worldwide as a tool of environmental monitoring. In the present study, the epibenthic copepod Tisbe biminiensis nauplius is proposed as a test organism for samples of seawater. Survival and the percentage of development from nauplius to copepodite were compared to the embryo-larval development of the sea urchin L. variegatus exposed to the same samples from the Suape estuarine system (state of Pernambuco, Brazil) collected in 2009. T. biminiensis naupliar development displayed a similar sensitivity to that found with the sea urchin embryos, mainly when simple t-test (not bioequivalent corrected) was used for sea urchin data. However, a lower sensitivity of copepod survival was found. The aluminium, iron and lead concentrations in surface waters were sometimes higher than Brazilian guidelines for estuarine water, probably due to dredging activities and anthropogenic contamination. These metals could be at least partially responsible for the toxic effects found at different stations and months. The results indicated that naupliar development of this epibenthic copepod is appropriate for the assessment of toxicity levels in seawater samples.

“…Além disso, copépodos com hábito epibentônico possibilitam avaliar diferentes vias de exposição a poluentes, tais como sedimento e água (ARAÚJO-CASTRO et al, 2009;ARAÚJO-CASTRO et al, 2013). O copépodo epibentônico Tisbe biminiensis é uma espécie promissora para ser utilizada em bioensaios, visto que se mostra sensível a poluentes inorgânicos (ARAUJO-CASTRO et al, 2009;LAVORANTE et al, 2013) e orgânicos (COSTA et al, 2014), sendo cultivado em laboratório de forma padronizada (RIBEIRO e SOUZA-SANTOS, 2011). O Sistema Estuarino do Rio Capibaribe (SERC) está localizado na zona urbana da cidade do Recife, e recebe um elevado aporte de poluentes através de fontes difusas (e.g., inúmeras galerias de esgotos ou águas pluviais) e pontuais (e.g., Porto do Recife e marinas) (NÓBREGA, 2011).…”

Part of the contaminants that reach the estuaries are deposited in sediments. These compounds may affect survival, fecundity and development of benthic organisms. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of the surface sediments from the Capibaribe Estuarine System (CES) on benthic copepod Tisbe biminiensis. Sediment samples were collected in five stations of the CES. Dissolved/dispersed petroleum hydrocarbons (DDPHs) was measured in bottom water samples from the same sites, to estimate the recent input of such compounds. Sub-lethal effects on T. biminiensis were observed for samples collected in front of the Harbor of Recife, in the northern mouth of the Capibaribe River and in the upper portion of the estuary. The DDPHs concentrations recorded in the CES suggest chronic contamination and pointed out the domestic and industrial effluents, and harbor activities, as the main source to this system.

“…Bengtsson (1978) reported test methods for acute exposures to the marine harpacticoid copepod Nitocra spinipes. Chronic exposures have been performed using a number of species, including Tigriopus japonicus (Kwok et al 2009;Dahl et al 2009), Tisbe battaglii (Hutchinson et al 1999Diz et al 2009), Tisbe biminiensis (Lavorante et al 2013), Acartia tonsa (Kusk 1997) and Labidocera aestiva (Cohen et al 2014). Finally, the OECD has recently developed methods for full life cycle tests of marine copepods, including Amphiascus tenuiremis, N. spinipes, and A. tonsa (OECD 2007).…”

The cladocerans Ceriodaphnia dubia and Daphnia magna are widely used in environmental toxicity testing and the test methodologies for these species are well developed. However, copepods are a much more abundant contributor to zooplankton in many lakes, but they are not routinely used in toxicity tests. Therefore, we propose toxicity test methods for the freshwater copepod, Cyclops vernalis assessing effects on its survival and growth. A case study is presented in which the proposed test was performed with a range of concentrations of total dissolved solids (TDS) and used as part of a test battery to develop a site-specific water quality objective. C. vernalis was less sensitive to TDS compared to D. magna and C. dubia, but similarly sensitive to an alga, a diatom, a rotifer, a chironomid, and two fish species. No adverse effects were observed on survival or growth of C. vernalis at TDS concentrations up to 1500 mg/L.
