“…Previous studies have reported that no one species is always the most or least sensitive to different contaminants (Macek and McAllister 1970;USEPA 1982;Birge and Black 1982;Blanck 1984;Mayer and Ellersieck 1986;Reish 1988). The sea lamprey, generally considered tolerant to contaminant exposure, was the most sensitive species to the lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM), whereas many fish species generally considered sensitive to other chemicals were much less sensitive to TFM (Cairns 1986).…”

“…Blanck (1984) used data from various sources and found that the chemical sensitivity of algae varied by 7 orders of magnitude. Birge and Black (1982) reported LC50s for Ն 5 aquatic species exposed to 50 different organic or inorganic toxicants.…”

“…While it is in the meantime well established for carrying out enzymatic toxicity tests, it still does not achieve complete acceptance for bioassays, which prove detrimental effects of water contents on unicellular organisms, although it is already conducted Correspondence to: G.

“…As alterações naturais ou antropogênicas no sistema aquático podem alterar o balanço destes fatores controladores, e causar mudanças na composição da comunidade de algas, nas taxas de produtividade, na biomassa e na química da água. É importante perceber que, tanto a inibição como a estimulação do crescimento dos organismos, são igualmente indesejá-veis, pois qualquer alteração na produtividade das algas ou na composição da comunidade, em relação ao usual para aquele sistema em particular, pode ameaçar todo o equilíbrio do ecossistema 3 . Como espécies representativas do nível trófico inferior, as algas são organismos ecologicamente importantes, porque servem como fonte de alimento fundamental para outras espécies aquáticas e ocupam, assim, uma posição única entre os produtores primários: são um elo importante na cadeia alimentar e essenciais à "economia" dos ambientes aquáticos como alimento.…”
