“…D. pulex laboratory cultures acclimated at 20°C had 95% mortality when exposed to temperatures of 35°C for 4 h [150]. D. magna had a LD 50 (median lethal dose) of 34.8°C after 24 h; 37.8°C after 15 min; and 39.4°C if the temperature was continuously increased by 0.2°C/min [151]. Generally, freshwater green microalgae can tolerate temperatures of~35°C [152,153] and some species already used for microalgae mass culture, such as Scenedesmus almeriensis, can tolerate temperatures of~44°C [154].…”

“…Heugens and co-workers (2003) assessed the effects of temperature on cadmium toxicity to D. magna and possible temperature-dependent toxicity processes, obtaining a 48-h LC 50 for temperature of about 30-31°C, which is similar to the value reported in this study (30.7°C). Kivivuori and Lahdes (1996) compared different heat tests to assess the effects of heat injury on D. magna and obtained a 24-h LC 50 of 34.8°C. The difference between this value and that from our study is explained by the fact that longer exposure time generally decreased the LC 50 value (Heugens et al 2003).…”

“…The increase in metabolism might lead to an increase in toxicant uptake. In addition, biochemical reactions might occur faster due to protein denaturation caused by high temperatures, metabolism might stop and originate a higher mortality rate when compared to control temperatures (20°C; Cherkasov et al 2006, Kivivuori andLahdes 1996). Sublethal assessment of nickel chloride and HT showed synergism when nickel was the dominant stressor (Ni>HT), probably as a result of ROS production and enhanced by the increase on haemoglobin production typical from increases in temperature exposures (Lamkemeyer et al 2003, Seidl et al 2005.…”

Global warming has become a source of awareness regarding the potential deleterious effects of extreme abiotic factors (e.g., temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO) levels) and also their influence on chemicals toxicity. In this work, we studied the combined effects of nickel and temperature (low and high levels) and nickel and low levels of DO to Daphnia magna, and concentration addition and independent action concepts as well as their deviations for synergism/antagonism, dose ratio and dose level dependency, were applied to survival and feeding rate data. Nickel single exposure showed an LC(50) value for 48 h of 7.36 mg l(-1) and an EC(50) value for feeding impairment at 2.41 mg l(-1). In the acute exposures to high and low temperatures, 50% of mortality was observed, respectively, at 30.7 degrees C and 4.2 degrees C whereas 50% reduction on the feeding activity was recorded at 22.6 degrees C and 16.0 degrees C. Relatively to low DO levels, a LC(50) value for 48 h of 0.5 mg l(-1) was obtained; feeding activity EC(50) value was 2 mg l(-1). On acute combined experiments, antagonism was observed for the combination of nickel and extreme temperatures, whereas a synergistic behaviour was observed in the combined exposure of nickel and low DO levels. At sublethal levels, nickel showed to be the main inducer of toxicity at high and low temperatures but not at low levels of dissolved oxygen. Toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics modelling studies should be made in the future to understand the toxicological pathways involved on complex combinations of stressors and to validate any conclusions.

“…The thermal tolerance of animals measured using a variety of methods was reviewed by Cossins & Bowler (1987) and Kivivuori & Lahdes (1996). The concepts of critical thermal maximum (CT max ) and critical thermal minimum (CT min ) introduced in studies of thermal tolerance of reptiles (Cowles & Bogert, 1944;Lowe & Vance, 1955 ;Zweifel, 1957;Hutchison, 1961) were subsequently applied to crustaceans by Kivivuori (1977Kivivuori ( , 1980 and Claussen (1980).…”

Thermal behaviour of crustaceans

Specific thermoreceptors or putative multimodal thermoreceptors are not known in Crustacea. However, behavioural studies on thermal avoidance and preference and on the effects of temperature on motor activity indicate that the thermosensitivity of crustaceans may be in the range 0.2-2 degrees C. Work on planktonic crustaceans suggests that they respond particularly to changes in temperature by klinokinesis and orthokinesis. The thermal behaviour of crustaceans is modified by thermal acclimation among other factors. The acclimation of the critical maximum temperature is an example of resistance acclimation, while the acclimation of preference behaviour may be classified as capacity acclimation of some other function. In crustaceans, the use of the concepts stenothermy and eurythermy at the species level is questionable, and it is not possible to divide crustacean species into thermal guilds as suggested for fishes. Thermal preference behaviour contributes to fitness in different ways in different species, often by maximising the aerobic metabolic scope for activity. In crustaceans the peripheral nervous system seems to have retained the capacity for thermosensitivity and thermal acclimation independently of the central nervous system control of behaviour.
