Multilevel effects of sublethal fenitrothion exposure in Chironomus riparius Mg. (Diptera, Chironomidae) larvae.
The effects of fenitrothion exposure on fourth-instar Chimnomus riparius larvae were investigated on biochemical, physiological, and population-level parameters. Biochemical effects were investigated through measurements of acetylcholinesterase and cytosolic superoxide dismutase activities. Water content and dry weight of the larvae were used as physiological parameters, and the emergence rate ...
متن کاملInfluence of Chironomus riparius (Diptera, Chironomidae) and Tubifex tubifex (Annelida, Oligochaeta) on oxygen uptake by sediments. Consequences of uranium contamination.
The diffusive oxygen uptake (DOU) of sediments inhabited by Chironomus riparius and Tubifex tubifex was investigated using a planar oxygen optode device, and complemented by measurements of bioturbation activity. Additional experiments were performed within contaminated sediments to assess the impact of uranium on these processes. After 72h, the two invertebrate species significantly increased ...

لاروهای آبزی پشه‌ی Chironomus riparius Meigen یکی از منابع غذایی غنی در پرورش ماهیان می‌باشد. کمیت و کیفیت ماده‌ی غذایی که در پرورش این لاروها استفاده می‌شود، بر رشد و نمو دوره‌ی لاروی این پشه تأثیر‌گذار است. این مطالعه شامل بررسی اثر جیره‌های غذایی مختلف (کود مرغی، پودر سویا و سبوس برنج) با مقادیر وزنی متفاوت (1، 3 و 5 گرم) بر رشد و نمو لاروها، تعیین زمان مناسب برداشت لاروها در دماهای مختلف (...
متن کاملA short-term sublethal in situ sediment assay with Chironomus riparius based on postexposure feeding.
A short-term, sublethal, and cost-effective in situ sediment toxicity assay for routine assessments with the midge Chironomus riparius Meigen, based on postexposure feeding, was developed and evaluated. An inexpensive and easy-to-use assay chamber was designed. A sediment toxicity assay was successfully performed at a lentic system impacted by acid mine drainage, at sites with different types o...
متن کاملChronic toxicity of cadmium to Chironomus riparius (Diptera: Chironomidae) at different food levels.
The interacting effects of cadmium toxicity and food limitation on the midge, Chironomus riparius, were studied during chronic exposure in laboratory experiments. If the food was supplied ad libitum, both larval developmental time and mortality of the larvae were negatively affected by cadmium concentrations of 2.0-16.2 micrograms/L. The number of eggs deposited per female and the mean life spa...
