    Notes: Abstract Uptake rates of total14C in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) exposed to sublethal concentrations of radiolabeled test compounds followed the order: phenol 〉 2,4,5-trichlorophenol 〉p-nitrophenol. Mean whole body14C concentration factors were 15,800, 1,850, and 180 for phenol, 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, andp-nitrophenol exposures, respectively. Only minor amounts of tissue14C was parent compound after 28 days of exposure in fish exposed to phenol andp-nitrophenol, while 78.6% of the14C was parent compound in 2,4,5-trichlorophenol exposed fish. Tissue14C in fish exposed to 2,4,5-trichlorophenol was eliminated at a faster rate than in fish exposed to phenol orp-nitrophenol. Observed mean14C depuration half-lives for lower and higher exposures combined were 387, 150, and 12 hours for phenol,p-nitrophenol, and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, respectively. Parent compound comprised 1.5, 2.7, and 0.7% of total14C for phenol, 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, andp-nitrophenol, respectively, after 28 days of depuration. The percentage of acetone-unextractable14C increased from the end of uptake to the end of depuration for phenol and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, and decreased slightly forp-nitrophenol.14C contribution from polar metabolites increased relative to total14C during the depuration phase for 2,4,5-trichlorophenol andp-nitrophenol.

    Notes: Abstract Concentrations and distribution of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) and some metals were determined in two South African lakes, Hartbeespoort Dam and Voëlvlei Dam. Water, bottom sediments, aquatic plants, aquatic insects, fish, fish-eating birds and their eggs were collected. Insecticides and PCB's were analyzed by thin layer and gas chromatography and mass-spectrometry. Analysis of metals was accomplished with atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Metals included arsenic, cadmium, copper, manganese, lead, zinc, and mercury. The insecticide residues most commonly found in both dams were DDE, DDD, DDT, and dieldrin. Hartbeespoort had higher levels than Voëlvlei of insecticides and PCB's in all types of samples common to both lakes. Concentrations of PCB's having six or more chlorines increased with an increase in the trophic level. Concentrations of PCB's in the brains of the African birds were greater than the average total concentration of insecticides while the opposite was true for carcasses. Biological magnification of insecticides and PCB's occurred in both lakes. Hartbeespoort Dam had higher levels than Voëlvlei for all metals examined in bottom sediments and birds, except for copper in bird carcasses. Mercury levels in bird carcasses ranged from 2- to 5-fold greater than in fish while lead concentrations ranged from 2- to 10-fold greater.

    Toxicity, bioconcentration, and metabolism of the herbicide propanil (3′,4′-dichloropropionanilide) in freshwater fish (1983)

    Notes: Abstract Fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to technical grade propanil (3′,4′-dichloropropionanilide) in a flow-through diluter system to determine acute lethality. LC50 values were 11.5, 10.2, 8.6, and 3.4 mg·L−1 at 24, 48, 96, and 192 hr, respectively. Eggs, newly hatched fry, and juvenile fish of this species were similarly exposed but at lower concentrations and for a period of 58 days. The 58-day “no effect” concentration was between 0.4 and 0.6Μg·L−1, based upon the physiological parameters of length and dry weight of juvenile fish.14C-Propanil did not bioconcentrate significantly in fathead minnows (1.6× for parent propanil in whole body). Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) readily metabolized propanil, forming at least ten products. One metabolite recovered from trout bile was identified as either 3′,4′-dichloro-2-hydroxypropionanilide or 3′,4′-dichloro-3-hydroxy-propionanilide. The technical grade propanil also contained 0.67 mg·g−1 of 3,3′,4,4′-tetrachloroazobenzene as a contaminant.

    Effects of Chironomus tentans larval growth retardation on adult emergence and ovipositing success: implications for interpreting freshwater sediment bioassays (1996)

    Notes: Abstract A laboratory study was conducted with Chironomus tentans to assess the significance of growth retardation of third-to fourth-instar larvae over a 10-d test period on long-term survival, adult emergence, and ovipositing success. Data were intended to provide interpretive guidance for the commonly used growth endpoint in 10-d sediment bioassays with C. tentans. Larval growth was controlled by using six feeding levels ranging from 0.2 to 5.9 mg dry weight Tetrafin® fish food per day. Mean 10-d survival was ≥88% at all feeding levels, but larval growth decreased significantly (p〈0.05) with each decrease in feeding level. Cumulative successful emergence of adult C. tentans decreased significantly with decreasing larval growth. Mean times to emergence always increased with decreasing growth rates and effects were generally more pronounced for females than males. At the lowest 10-d mean growth where successful emergence occurred (0.27 mg), the times to emergence doubled relative to the times observed at the highest 10-d mean growth (1.03 mg). Ten-day larval growth retardation was strongly correlated with reduction in adult emergence success (r 2 = 0.96). Growth retardations ≥64% resulted in 86–100% reductions in adult emergence. Growth retardation in the range of 35 to 50% equated with comparable percent reductions in adult emergence success. Although fewer females successfully emerged at 10-d growths of 0.37 and 0.74 mg relative to the highest 10-d growth (1.03 mg), ovipositing success of these females did not appear to be adversely affected by either their slower growth rates or their lower mean dry weights (0.62 and 0.99 mg, respectively). Growth of second generation larvae did not appear to be affected by maternal growth rate, but rather appeared to be solely correlated with their own feeding level.

    A field investigation of the relationship between zinc and acid volatile sulfide concentrations in freshwater sediments (1996)

    Notes: Abstract Understanding relationships between cationic metals such as cadmium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc, and amorphous iron sulfides, measured as acid volatile sulfide (AVS), is key to predicting metal bioavailability and toxicity insediments. The objective of the present study was to assess seasonal and spatial variations of AVS in freshwater sediments contaminated with zinc. Sediments were sampled from three streams with varying levels of zinc contamination at two different times, March and June of 1995, representing cold- and warm-weather situations. Interstitial (pore) water concentrations of zinc, and solid phase concentrations of AVS and zinc were measured in surficial and deep sediment horizons. Toxicity tests (10-d) with the amphipodHyalella azteca were conducted using intact cores. Sediment zinc concentrations from six sites within the primary test stream differed by about five-fold, and also varied seasonally. Acid volatile sulfide concentrations were generally lower than those of zinc, and pore water zinc concentrations typically were elevated. There was a positive correlation between solid-phase AVS and zinc concentrations, suggesting that the system was dominated by zinc, as opposed to iron sulfides. In contrast to expectations arising from some studies of seasonal variations of AVS in iron-dominated systems, AVS concentrations were smaller in June than in March. However, this was likely due to a major storm event and associated sediment scouring before the June sampling, rather than to seasonal processes related to variations in temperature and dissolved oxygen. Based upon an indirect analysis of depth variations in AVS, there was some indication that zinc sulfide might be less prone to oxidation than iron sulfide. There was a strong correlation between toxicity of the sediment samples toH. azteca and interstitial water concentrations of zinc; however, the possible contribution of other contaminants to sediment toxicity cannot be dismissed.
