“…In a previous study, we found that aldrin at 20-640 mg.L x1 significantly increased the r by means of lifetable techniques with B. calyciflorus , which was absolutely similar to our present results that aldrin at 10 mg.L x1 significantly increased the r. Another study results showed that dieldrin at 100 mg.L x1 significantly decreased r of B. calyciflorus (Huang et al, 2012), which was similar to our present results that dieldrin at 0.001 and 0.1 mg.L x1 significantly decreased it, but dieldrin at 100 mg.L x1 did not affect it significantly. Furthermore, chlordecone at 0.05 mg.L x1 significantly increased the r of B. calyciflorus, which was different from …”

-In China, although the production and use of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have been banned for decades, relatively high levels of OCP residues have still been found in some water bodies, and can result in adverse acute and chronic effects on zooplankton including rotifers, which have caused public concern for many years. Responses in the population growth and reproduction of freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus to four OCPs including aldrin, dieldrin, b-hexachlorocyclohexane (b-HCH) and chlordecone were studied by 3-day population growth and 4-day resting eggs (RE) production tests. In comparison with control, aldrin at 10 mg.L x1 , b-HCH at 1000 mg.L x1 and chlordecone at 0.05 mg.L x1 significantly increased the population growth rate (r); but aldrin at 100 mg.L x1 , dieldrin at 0.001 and 0.1 mg.L x1 , b-HCH at 0.1-100 mg.L x1 and chlordecone at 50 mg.L x1 markedly decreased it. Aldrin at concentrations higher than 1 mg.L x1 , dieldrin at 0.01 and 1000 mg.L x1 , b-HCH at concentrations 0.1 and higher than 1 mg.L x1 , and chlordecone at concentrations 0.005 and higher than 0.5 mg.L x1 significantly decreased the ratio of ovigerous females to non-ovigerous females (OF/NOF), but the reverse was true for aldrin at 0.1 mg.L x1 and b-HCH at 0.001 mg.L x1 . Dieldrin at 0.001, 0.01 and 1000 mg.L x1 significantly decreased the ratio of mictic females to amictic females (MF/AF), but b-HCH at 1 and 10 mg.L x1 highly significantly increased it. Dieldrin at 1000 mg.L x1 and b-HCH at concentrations higher than 10 mg.L x1 markedly decreased the fertilization rate (FR). Both aldrin and chlordecone have no significant effect on the MF/AF and FR of rotifers. Aldrin at concentrations higher than 1 mg.L x1 , dieldrin at lower than 0.1 and higher than 10 mg.L x1 , b-HCH at 1000 mg.L x1 and chlordecone at 0.005, 0.05 and 50.0 mg.L x1 significantly decreased the mictic rate (MR) of rotifers, but the reverse was true for b-HCH at 1 mg.L x1 . Aldrin at 10 mg.L x1 , dieldrin at 0.001, 0.1 and 1000 mg.L x1 , b-HCH at concentrations higher than 1 mg.L x1 and chlordecone at concentrations higher than 0.005 mg.L x1 markedly decreased RE production of rotifers, but b-HCH at 0.01 mg.L x1 significantly increased it. A clear dose-response relationship existed between the RE and the concentration of dieldrin, b-HCH and chlordecone, and the OF/NOF and the aldrin concentration. The RE and OF/NOF in rotifer population might be suitable endpoints for monitoring the low concentration of three OCPs (dieldrin, b-HCH and chlordecone) and aldrin, respectively.

“…Up to now, there are few studies about the effects of aldrin , dieldrin (Huang et al, 2012) and chlordecone to rotifer B. calyciflorus by means of life table techniques. However, the effects of these three OCPs on the sexual reproduction of B. calyciflorus are unknown.…”

“…The population growth of rotifers decreased under the stress of all the tested pollutants with estrogenic activity for vertebrates Sarma 1986, 1990;Fernandez-Casalderrey et al 1991Ferrando et al 1993;Janssen et al 1994;Snell and Carmona 1995;Gallardo et al 1997;Preston et al 2000;Preston and Snell 2001;Radix et al 2002;MarirazPerez et al 2004;Xi and Feng 2004;Marcial et al 2005;Chu et al 2005), except micromolar concentrations of gamma-aminobutyric acid, growth hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin and 5-hydroxytryptamine, which increased the population growth of B. plicatilis, aldrin and DBP, which increased the intrinsic rate of population increase of B. calyciflorus and D. magna (Gallardo et al 1997;Huang et al 1999Huang et al , 2007, and juvenile hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone and tri-iodothyronine, which had no effect on population growth (Gallardo et al 1997). In the present study, BBP at 50 and 500 lg l -1 increased the intrinsic rate of population increase of the rotifers, but the reverse was also true for DBP at 50 lg l -1 .…”

“…The above stated results indicate that sublethal concentrations of pollutants with endocrine disrupting activity might be beneficial to not only the reproduction but also the survival of rotifers. Several studies have found that sublethal concentrations of aldrin and chlordecone prolonged the generation time of rotifers, but Cu, lindane, thiophanate-methyl and deltamethrin shortened the generation time of rotifers (Janssen et al 1994;Xi and Hu 2003;Xu et al 2005;Huang et al 2007;Zha et al 2007). In the present study, DBP and BBP, both at 500 lg l -1 , prolonged the generation time of B. calyciflorus, but DEHP at 0.005-5,000 lg l -1 did not affect it.…”

“…After 3 h, ten neonates for each replicate were collected and transferred into a 6-ml glass cup containing 5 ml of test solution with 2.0 9 10 6 cells ml -1 of S. obliquus. Thereafter, the number of neonates produced and the number of original test individuals alive were recorded and then neonates were removed every 8 h (Xi and Hu 2003;Huang et al 2007;Zha et al 2007). The original rotifers alive were transferred into freshly prepared test solution every 24 h. The life-table experiments were conducted in darkness (expect when the rotifers were observed under a light microscope) (Janssen et al 1994;Marcial et al 2005) at 25 ± 1°C until each individual of every cohort died.…”

Phthalate esters (PAEs) are mainly used in the polymer industry as external plasticizers in PVC, and tend to migrate slowly out of the plastic, either into the air by volatilization or into water or other solvents by dissolution. Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) are three members of PAEs, identified as priority controlled hazardous substances by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and have been shown to have potential for endocrine disrupting effects on vertebrates and humans. The effects of DBP, BBP and DEHP on survival and reproduction of the freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus were studied using life-table demographic methods. The results showed that all the life-table demographic parameters of B. calyciflorus were markedly affected by DBP and BBP, but not by DEHP. The net reproductive rate representing the output of reproduction was more affected than all the other parameters representing population growth, development or survival of the rotifers. Compared to the solvent control, DBP and BBP, both at 500 lg l -1 , significantly increased the net reproductive rate, and prolonged the generation time and the life expectancy at hatching of the rotifers. DBP at 50 lg l -1 markedly decreased the intrinsic rate of population increase of the rotifers, but the reverse was true for BBP at 50 and 500 lg l -1 . Among all the parameters, the intrinsic rate of population increase was the most sensitive to DBP and BBP. The levels of PAEs in water from all the studied rivers and lakes in the world did not affect the population growth of rotifers.
