Development of Methods to Assess the Effects of Xenobiotics in Outdoor Artificial Streams

Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) embryos are highly sensitive to short-term 3,4-dichloroaniline exposure

“…Based on all ECETOC entries for 3,4-DCA LC 50 values for fish, only the three-spined stickleback ( Gasterosteus aculeatus ) displayed LC 50 than Atlantic cod embryos (360 μg/L). This was from an 26-day outdoor artificial stream study [ 45 ] and is not directly comparable to our short-term study. Comparable acute toxicity data from 13 different species (Supporting Information SI2, Table S2.1) were gathered from the literature and the ECETOC database.…”

A long-term copper exposure on freshwater ecosystem using lotic mesocosms: Individual and population responses of three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)

“…To our knowledge no previous study has evaluated the impact of copper on fish in experimental stream. Few studies in experimental systems have monitored individual and population responses of a high trophic level organism such as fish (Shaw et al, 1995;Girling et al, 2000).…”
