“…Moreover, similar results have been obtained with pooled samples of hemolymph or from whole body analyses (Hermann 1987, Havens 1992. Impairment of respiratory function has also been reported in acid-sensitive species of fish (Laitinen & Valtonen 1995) and crayfish (Patterson & DeFur 1988). According to these authors, the hyperventilatory response observed during the first hours of acid stress served to increase O 2 delivery and CO 2 removal from the respiratory surface.…”

“…Heart and ventilation rates increased in all treatments, with greatest increases in the pH 4.7 plus 450 µg · L -1 Al treatments. Blood samples at the end of the experiment showed a few hematological disturbances in the acid and acid plus Al exposures, the most notable and consistent effect being increases in blood glucose concentration (Laitinen and Valtonen, 1995). In general, these fish showed respiratory effects of Al consistent with the high Al concentrations used in the exposures, and showed only minimal ionoregulatory effects.…”

“…These results for the Al-exposed fish implied increased T 4 secretion from the thyroid plus increased monodeiodination of T 4 in the liver, producing T 3 . Laitinen and Valtonen (1995) studied the effects of 280 and 450 µg · L -1 Al on adult brown trout in cold humic river water (1 to 3°C, pH 4.7, ~90 µM Ca, 7-d exposures). Heart and ventilation rates were monitored by a non-contact bioelectical monitoring system.…”

ABSTRACT:In this article we review the biological effects of Al, primarily with respect to the chemical factors controlling Al bioavailability and toxicity, and how its biological effects are best predicted. Our intent is not to duplicate recent reviews on Al chemistry or toxicity, but rather to update the literature since these reviews were published, and to focus on Al speciation and other external chemical influences on Al bioavailability to freshwater biota. Briefly, we first review Al chemistry, with a specific focus on understanding, as well as measuring, Al chemical species of importance to aquatic biota. Next we more comprehensively review Al toxicity and bioavailability to freshwater algae, with a thorough analysis of the relationships between speciation and toxicity, the role of important chemical complexing agents such as P, Si, and organic carbon, as well as the potential for Al to impact algal community structure. A third section reviews the more sparse literature on aquatic higher plants; the fourth section reviews a somewhat more abundant literature of Al toxicity to freshwater invertebrates. We close with an updated review of Al toxicity to fish, again with a focus on mechanisms of toxicity, and the role of Al speciation in controlling bioavailability.

“…Even road salt can have this effect (Löfgren 2001). The speciation of this aluminium entering the stream is strongly dependant of both pH (Schecher and Driscoll 1987;Stumm and Morgan 1996) and the presence of binding ligands such as DOC (Berggren and Mulder 1995;Laitinen and Valtonen 1995) or fluorine (Cory et al 2007a).…”

The negative effects of elevated concentrations of inorganic aluminium on aquatic organisms are well documented. Acid deposition is often cited as a main driver behind the mobilisation and speciation of aluminium in soils and surface waters. In the study, we tested the hypothesis that sulphur deposition is the main driver for elevated concentrations of inorganic aluminium in 114 base poor, boreal Swedish streams. However, the deposition of anthropogenic sulphate has decreased substantially since it peaked in the 1970s, and at the current deposition levels, we hypothesise that local site parameters play an important role in determining vulnerability to elevated concentrations of inorganic aluminium in boreal stream waters. Presented here are the results of a principal components analysis of stream water chemistry, acid deposition data and local site variables, including forest composition and stem volume. It is shown that the concentrations of both organic and inorganic aluminium are not explained by either historical or current acid deposition, but are instead explained by a combination of local site characteristics. Sites with elevated concentrations of inorganic aluminium were characterised by small catchments (<500 ha) dominated by mature stands of Norway spruce with high stem volume. Using data from the Swedish National Forest Inventory the area of productive forest land in Sweden with a higher vulnerability for elevated inorganic aluminium concentrations in forests streams is approximately 1.5 million hectares or 7% of the total productive forest area; this is higher in the south of Sweden (10%) and lower in the north (2%). A better understanding of the effects of natural processes and forest management in controlling aquatic inorganic aluminium concentrations is therefore important in future discussions about measures against surface water acidification.
