    Notes: Abstract The organochlorine insecticide, toxaphene, was tested in flow-through bioassays to evaluate its toxicity to estuarine organisms. The organisms tested and their respective 96-hr LC5Os (based on measured concentrations) are: pink shrimp (Penaeus duorarum), 1.4Μg/L; grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio), 4.4Μg/L; sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus), 1.1Μg/L; and pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides), 0.5Μg/L. Toxaphene concentration estimated to reduce shell deposition in American oysters (Crassostrea virginica) by 50% (EC50) was 16Μg/L. Concentration factors (concentration of toxaphene in tissues divided by concentration measured in water) for fishes and oysters in 96 hr ranged from 3,100 to 20,600 and for shrimp, from 400 to 1,200. Individuals from various ontogenetic stages of longnose killifish (Fundulus similis) were exposed to toxaphene for 28 days in flow-through bioassays. Toxaphene was toxic to embryos, fry, juveniles, and adult fish, but fertilization of ova in static tests was not affected by the concentrations tested (0.32 to 10Μg/L). The 28-day measured LC50s for all stages ranged from 0.9 to 1.4Μg/L. Toxaphene was accumulated in ova and other body tissues of the longnose killifish; concentration factors in ova were 1,000 to 5,500, and in whole-body tissues, 4,200 to 60,000.

    Notes: Abstract Flow-through, 96-hr bioassays were conducted to determine the acute toxicity of technical BHC and lindane to several estuarine animals. Test animals and their respective 96-hr lindane LC50 values were: mysid(Mysidopsis bahia), 6.3 µg/L; pink shrimp(Penaeus duorarum), 0.17 µg/L; grass shrimp(Palaemonetes pugio), 4.4 µg/L; sheepshead minnow(Cyprinodon variegatus), 104 µg/L; and pinfish(Lagodon rhomboides), 30.6 µg/L. The 96-hr LC50 values for pink shrimp and pinfish exposed to BHC were 0.34 and 86.4 µg/L, respectively. Two BHC bioconcentration studies were conducted with the oyster,Crassostrea virginica, and pinfish. After 28 days exposure, oysters bioconcentrated an average of 218 X the BHC measured in exposure water, while pinfish bioconcentrated 130 X in their edible tissues and 617 X in offal. After one week in BHC-free sea water, no detectable residues were measured in oysters or pinfish.

    Notes: Abstract Grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) were exposed to either waterborne or sediment-source concentrations of fenvalerate, cypermethrin, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB), tributyltin oxide (TBTO), triphenyltin oxide, and di-n-butylphthalate in static or flow-through test systems. Similarly, amphioxus (Branchiostoma caribaeum) were tested with fenvalerate, TCB, and TBTO. The LC50 and no-effect and 100% mortality concentrations are reported from 96-hr and 10-day tests. The toxicity of contaminated sediments could be explained by chemical partitioning into overlying or interstitial water. Amphioxus is not recommended as a routine test species because of (1) difficulty in distinguishing severely affected from dead individuals, (2) inability to determine the status of burrowed animals without disrupting sediment, (3) their relative lack of sensitivity in acute exposures to toxic chemicals, and (4) difficulty in routine collection of sufficient numbers of animals. Grass shrimp, however, are useful as an epibenthic test species for waterborne and sediment-source toxicants.

    Notes: Abstract Sensitivity, expressed as the 96-hr LC50 derived from acute lethality tests, was compared for four ages (day-of-hatch, 7-day, 14-day, and 28-day) of three atherinid fishes:Leuresthes tenais (California grunion),Menidia menidia (Atlantic silverside), andMenidia peninsulae (tidewater silverside). Responses of each age-species combination exposed to the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos and the carbamate herbicide thiobencarb were compared in both static and flowing seawater toxicity tests. Chlorpyrifos was highly toxic to all atherinids (96-hr LC50's ranged from 0.4 to 6.7 μg/ L); toxicity of thiobencarb was approximately two orders of magnitude lower (LC50 values from 199 to 1,405 μg/L). Responses to each pesticide were similar among the three species. Sensitivity was generally highest for 7-day and 14-day age groups, and flowing water tests were more sensitive measures of toxicity than static tests, especially for chlorpyrifos. Comparisons of three computational methods indicate that probit and moving average methods calculate comparable LC50 estimates with the binomial method being the least uniform point estimator.

    Notes: Abstract Periphyton colonization and sediment bioassessment were used ina survey to compare the relative environmental condition ofsampling sites located in Florida Bay and four peripheral sloughareas during the summer of 1995. Periphyton biomass, pigmentcontent, tissue quality and community composition weredetermined. In addition, benthic community composition and thetoxicities of whole sediments and associated pore waters weredetermined for two species of rooted macrophytes, an epibenthicinvertebrate and bioluminescent bacteria. Several locational differences were observed for the response parameters.Periphyton biomass was significantly greater in the Taylor Riverand the least in Shell Creek (P 〈 0.05). Most sediments were notacutely toxic to mysid shrimp nor phytotoxic. However, sedimentsfrom the Taylor River were more phytostimulatory than others (P〈 0.05). Contaminant bioresidues were similar at most sites,however, mercury, chromium and nickel concentrations weregreater for periphyton colonized in the Taylor River and TroutCreek areas. Structural characteristics of the periphytic algalcommunity usually were statistically similar but a consistenttrend of lower density and diversity was evident for ShellCreek. The benthic community was the least diverse and dense inthe Canal C-111. The results of this study provide an initialindication of differences in the role of several slough areas aspossible sources of bioavailable contaminants to Florida Baywhich warrants additional investigation.
