Toxicity of nickel in the marine calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa: Nickel chloride versus nanoparticles.
Nickel compounds are widely used in industries and have been massively introduced in the environment in different chemical forms. Here we report the effect of two different chemical forms of nickel, NiCl2 and nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs), on the reproduction of the marine calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa. The behavior of nickel nanoparticles was analyzed with different techniques and with two pro...
متن کاملEffects of food on bacterial community composition associated with the copepod Acartia tonsa Dana.
The estuarine copepod Acartia tonsa naturally carried diverse strains of bacteria on its body. The bacterial community composition (BCC) remained very conservative even when the copepod was fed different axenic algal species, indicating that the food per se did not much affect BCC associated with the copepod. In xenic algal treatments, however, copepod-associated BCC differed with each alga fed...
متن کاملDMSP-consuming bacteria associated with the calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa (Dana).
DMSP-consuming bacteria (DCB) were recovered from the body and fecal pellets of the copepod Acartia tonsa (Dana). The most probable number of DCB associated with starved A. tonsa was 9.2x10(2) cells copepod(-1). The abundance of DCB recovered from the copepod body increased to 1.6-2.8x10(4) after the copepod fed on DMSP-containing alga. DCB abundance associated with fecal pellets averaged 1.2x1...
متن کاملPredatory and suspension feeding of the copepod Acartia tonsa in turbulent environments
The copepod Acartia tonsa exhibits 2 different feeding modes: when feeding on small phytoplankton cells it sets up a feeding current and acts as a suspension feeder; when feeding on motile prey it acts as an ambush feeder. We examined experimentally the effects of small-scale turbulence on feeding rates in these 2 modes. The different feeding behaviours were triggered by offering the copepods d...
متن کاملSublethal stress: Impact of solar UV radiation on protein synthesis in the copepod Acartia tonsa.
Aquatic organisms respond to environmental challenges such as thermal stress with the rapid induction of highly conserved polypeptides known as stress proteins or heat shock proteins (Hsps). Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR, 280-400 nm) is an important environmental stressor in marine ecosystems. Here, we present results of experiments conducted with the marine copepod Acartia tonsa to follow t...
