“…[36] The sensitivity of S. aurata was found to fall within the range of other fish species reported in literature. For example, we can find data like that reported by Flik et al, [37] who found in tests with carp larvae (Cyprinus carpio) a mortality lower than 50% after an exposition of 48 hours to 0.05 mg/L; Hamilton and Buhl [38] conducted tests with flannelmouth sucker larvae (Catostomus latipinnis) and they obtained a 48-hour LC 50 of 0.175 mg/L; Krishnani et al [39] observed in Lates calcarifer of 11 ± 3 mm, a 96-hour LC 50 of 1,3 mg/L; and Nguyen and Janssen [40] observed that none African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) larvae reached 96 hours LC 50 of 2.5 mg/L.…”

In this study, the effects of exposure to copper (mortality and morphological alterations) on the early life stages of the gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata, were examined. Eggs/embryos and larvae were exposed to nominal concentrations of copper ranging from 0.0001 to 10 mg/L Cu (II) in the tests with eggs/embryos and 0.025 to 0.5 mg/L Cu (II) in the test with larvae. Duration of the assays was 48 hours for embryos and 96 hours for larvae. A high percentage of mortality was observed in embryos exposed to 0.1 mg/L (97.2%) and in larvae exposed to 0.5 mg/L (100%). The embryos proved the most sensitive to copper for the same duration of exposure. The acute toxicity expressed as LC(50) 48 hours was 0.054 (0.048-0.058) mg/L for embryos and 0.261 (0.182- 0.375) mg/L for larvae. Morphological alterations or abnormalities in embryos included irregular shapes of chorion, opacity and vitellus retraction/degeneration. In larvae we observed poor capacity to swim, trembling, myoskeletal defects, opacity and exophthalmia. Histopathological alterations are observed in S. aurata larvae. Mucous cells of the digestive tissue present a severe alteration with an increment of exudates. A great cellular disorganization in the renal tissue is observed. Results from this work indicate the high sensitivity of early life stages of Sparus aurata to copper (II) and the persistence of sublethal effects.

“…Both fish and invertebrates appear to have wide ranges in sensitivity among species. The fathead minnow and the flannelmouth sucker (C. latipinnis) are among the sensitive fish, with LC50s of approximately 80 and 125 mg/L, respectively (present study; [9]), whereas coho salmon (O. kisutch) and chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha) were found to be less sensitive, with LC50s in the 450 to 700 mg/L range [10]. Likewise with invertebrates, several of the species tested in the present study (C. dubia, H. azteca, L. siliquoidea, L. recta) are among the most sensitive species tested, whereas the midge C. decorus was insensitive, with LC50s exceeding 1,300 mg/L [11].…”

“…Published data that meet requirements for water quality criteria development by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) [7] are available for a variety of fish species, including the cyprinids Ptychocheilus lucius and Gila elegans [8], the catostomids Xyrauchen texanus [8] and Catostomus latipinnis [9], and the salmonids Oncorhynchus kisutch and Oncorhynchus tshawytscha [10]. The range of sensitivities for invertebrates is similar to that of fish, with crustaceans being the most sensitive [11][12][13][14], and insects [12] being less sensitive.…”

Acute and chronic toxicity of boron to a variety of freshwater organisms

Boron enters the aquatic environment from various sources, including weathering of borates, sewage effluents, coal combustion, use of cleaning compounds, and agrochemicals. The present study was designed to generate data on acute and chronic boron toxicity in support of an update of water quality standards in Illinois, USA. We examined the acute toxicity of boron to eight different freshwater organisms including a fish, an insect, two crustaceans, and four bivalve mollusks. To our knowledge, this is the first study to present data on the toxicity of boron to freshwater mollusks. We also sought to clarify whether hardness or pH affect boron toxicity to aquatic life, and to quantify chronic effect levels in two freshwater species. Sensitivity among the various species ranged widely, with the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) being the most sensitive. Neither pH nor hardness had a consistent effect on acute boron toxicity to two crustaceans (Ceriodaphnia dubia and Hyalella azteca), but we observed evidence that chloride reduces boron toxicity to H. azteca. The fathead minnow, while more acutely sensitive than the other species, had a lower acute to chronic ratio than did H. azteca, which had reduced reproduction at 13 mg/L. While we do not know the extent to which the eight tested species represent the range of sensitivities of native but untested species in Illinois, the current water quality standard for Illinois (1 mg/L) is conservative with regard to the native species tested thus far.

“…In the laboratory, dissolved V has been shown to be acutely or chronically toxic to fish and invertebrates, exceeding Se, Li, U, and B in toxicity [27,32,33], and ingestion of V-contaminated food has also been found to present risks of bioaccumulation and toxicity [30]. It has been observed that V can be accumulated with age in the liver of cetaceans [20].…”

“…Vanadium enters the aquatic system through multiple passages, including release of fly ash and via run off from naturally V-rich soils, irrigated areas and industrial plants [27,28] and is accumulated by biota, sometimes to very high concentrations [29][30][31]. In the laboratory, dissolved V has been shown to be acutely or chronically toxic to fish and invertebrates, exceeding Se, Li, U, and B in toxicity [27,32,33], and ingestion of V-contaminated food has also been found to present risks of bioaccumulation and toxicity [30].…”

Trace element concentrations (chromium, copper, zinc, iron, manganese and vanadium) were determined in organs of five species of cetaceans (Stenella coeruleoalba, Tursiops truncatus, Grampus griseus, Physeter macrocephalus, Ziphius cavirostris) that were found stranded along Italian coasts in the period 2000-2009. This dataset represents an important opportunity to verify and assess (particularly for V) patterns of incorporation of trace elements in different organs of cetaceans in a wide spectrum of species and related specimens distributed in all the age classes, and consequently determine the physiological and metabolic effects on the distribution modes of the same chemicals. In particular, Cu, Zn, and Fe accumulate preferentially in the liver of all studied specimens, while Mn and Cr values are found to be nearly constant in the analysed organs and tissues regardless of species. Comparable concentrations of trace elements, in different age classes, were measured for both specimens of S. coeruleoalba and T. truncatus (the most abundant dolphin species in the Mediterranean sea) in all analysed organs. On the other hand, unprecedented reported concentrations of V in tissues and organs of cetaceans from the Mediterranean show higher values when compared to levels measured in other marine mammals from the Atlantic Ocean.
