“…Toxicity endpoints for mussels include 24-h larval (glochidia) survival, 96-h juvenile survival, and 28-d juvenile survival, length, weight, and biomass. Water-only toxicity testing has demonstrated that juvenile mussels are sensitive to a variety of contaminants associated with sediment including metals and ammonia, but may be less sensitive to organic contaminants compared with commonly tested species [8][9][10][11][12][13]. Moreover, juvenile mussels are in direct contact with sediment, often burrowing into the upper 1-cm to 2-cm layer of sediment [14].…”

“…Lampsilis siliquoidea was selected for testing because this species of mussel has been cultured and tested routinely in water-only toxicity tests, has been demonstrated to be sensitive to contaminants typically of concern in sediment, and exhibits a sensitivity similar to that of other freshwater mussels [9][10][11][12][13]. The sediment was collected from the East Branch of the Grand Calumet River (located south of Lake Michigan, USA, and contained elevated concentrations of metals and organic compounds).…”

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the relative sensitivity of test organisms in exposures to dilutions of a highly toxic sediment contaminated with metals and organic compounds. One dilution series was prepared using control sand (low total organic carbon [TOC; <0.1%, low binding capacity for contaminants]) and a second dilution series was prepared using control sediment from West Bearskin Lake, Minnesota, USA (high TOC [$10% TOC, higher binding capacity for contaminants]). Test organisms included an amphipod (Hyalella azteca; 10-d and 28-d exposures), a midge (Chironomus dilutus; 20-d and 48-d exposures started with <1-h-old larvae, and 13-d and 48-d exposures started with 7-d-old larvae), and a unionid mussel (Lampsilis siliquoidea; 28-d exposures). Relative species sensitivity depended on the toxicity endpoint and the diluent. All 3 species were more sensitive in sand dilutions than in West Bearskin Lake sediment dilutions. The <1-h-old C. dilutus were more sensitive than 7-d-old C. dilutus, but replicate variability was high in exposures started with the younger midge larvae. Larval biomass and adult emergence endpoints of C. dilutus exhibited a similar sensitivity. Survival, weight, and biomass of H. azteca were more sensitive endpoints in 28-d exposures than in 10-d exposures. Weight and biomass of L. siliquoidea were sensitive endpoints in both sand and West Bearskin Lake sediment dilutions. Metals, ammonia, oil, and other organic contaminants may have contributed to the observed toxicity.

“…Specifically, the objectives of the present study were to evaluate the acute toxicity of copper, ammonia, or chlorine to glochidia and juvenile mussels and compare the sensitivity of early life stages of freshwater mussels with commonly tested cladoceran, amphipod, and fish species. Other toxicants, such as pesticides, were evaluated in two of the companion papers [7,8]. Companion papers in this issue evaluate intra-and interlaboratory variability in acute toxicity tests with freshwater mussels [9] and evaluate the chronic toxicity of copper or ammonia to early life stages of mussels [10].…”

The objective of the present study was to determine acute toxicity of copper, ammonia, or chlorine to larval (glochidia) and juvenile mussels using the recently published American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard guide for conducting laboratory toxicity tests with freshwater mussels. Toxicity tests were conducted with glochidia (24- to 48-h exposures) and juveniles (96-h exposures) of up to 11 mussel species in reconstituted ASTM hard water using copper, ammonia, or chlorine as a toxicant. Copper and ammonia tests also were conducted with five commonly tested species, including cladocerans (Daphnia magna and Ceriodaphnia dubia; 48-h exposures), amphipod (Hyalella azteca; 48-h exposures), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss; 96-h exposures), and fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas; 96-h exposures). Median effective concentrations (EC50s) for commonly tested species were >58 microg Cu/L (except 15 microg Cu/L for C. dubia) and >13 mg total ammonia N/L, whereas the EC50s for mussels in most cases were <45 microg Cu/L or <12 mg N/L and were often at or below the final acute values (FAVs) used to derive the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 1996 acute water quality criterion (WQC) for copper and 1999 acute WQC for ammonia. However, the chlorine EC50s for mussels generally were >40 microg/L and above the FAV in the WQC for chlorine. The results indicate that the early life stages of mussels generally were more sensitive to copper and ammonia than other organisms and that, including mussel toxicity data in a revision to the WQC, would lower the WQC for copper or ammonia. Furthermore, including additional mussel data in 2007 WQC for copper based on biotic ligand model would further lower the WQC.

The objectives of the present study were to develop methods for conducting chronic toxicity tests with juvenile mussels under flow‐through conditions and to determine the chronic toxicity of copper and ammonia to juvenile mussels using these methods. In two feeding tests, two‐month‐old fatmucket (Lampsilis siliquoidea) and rainbow mussel (Villosa iris) were fed various live algae or nonviable algal mixture for 28 d. The algal mixture was the best food resulting in high survival (≥90%) and growth. Multiple copper and ammonia toxicity tests were conducted for 28 d starting with two‐month‐old mussels. Six toxicity tests using the algal mixture were successfully completed with a control survival of 88 to 100%. Among copper tests with rainbow mussel, fatmucket, and oyster mussel (Epioblasma capsaeformis), chronic value ([ChV], geometric mean of the no‐observed‐effect concentration and the lowest‐observed‐effect concentration) ranged from 8.5 to 9.8 μg Cu/L for survival and from 4.6 to 8.5 μg Cu/L for growth. Among ammonia tests with rainbow mussel, fatmucket, and wavy‐rayed lampmussel (L. fasciola), the ChV ranged from 0.37 to 1.2 mg total ammonia N/L for survival and from 0.37 to 0.67 mg N/L for growth. These ChVs were below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 1996 chronic water quality criterion (WQC) for copper (15 μg/L; hardness 170 mg/L) and 1999 WQC for total ammonia (1.26 mg N/L; pH 8.2 and 20°C). Results indicate that toxicity tests with two‐month‐old mussels can be conducted for 28 d with >80% control survival; growth was frequently a more sensitive endpoint compared to survival; and the 1996 chronic WQC for copper and the 1999 chronic WQC for total ammonia might not be adequately protective of the mussel species tested. However, a recently revised 2007 chronic WQC for copper based on the biotic ligand model may be more protective in the water tested.
