The role of native salinity regime on grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) sensitivity to cadmium.
In euryhaline crustaceans, sensitivity to toxic trace metals may be linked to osmoregulation and salinity conditions. This study investigated if grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) populations from different salinity regimes differed in sensitivity to cadmium (Cd). Grass shrimp were collected in May 2011 from two marsh sites with average salinities of ~3.0 ppt and 24.0 ppt. Groups were acclimated...
متن کاملInfluence of salinity on the bioaccumulation and photoinduced toxicity of fluoranthene to an estuarine shrimp and oligochaete.
The effect of salinity on the photoinduced toxicity of waterborne fluoranthene to larvae of the grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) and tubificid oligochaete worms (Monopylephorus rubroniveus) was studied in a laboratory system under simulated sunlight. In the grass shrimp toxicity tests, five concentrations of fluoranthene (0, 3.6, 7.3, 13.8, and 29.0 microg/L) and four salinities (6.9, 14.5, 21...
متن کاملThe effects of salinity and temperature on the transparency of the grass shrimp Palaemonetes pugio.
Transparency is an effective form of camouflage, but it must be present throughout the entire volume of an animal to succeed. Certain environmental stressors may cause physiological responses that increase internal light scattering, making tissue less transparent and more conspicuous to predators. We tested this in the transparent grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio, which is found in shallow estu...
متن کاملEffects of Solid Coal Combustion Residue on the Estuarine Grass Shrimp (palaemonetes Pugio)
Title of Document: INDIVIDUAL AND POPULATION-LEVEL EFFECTS OF SOLID COAL COMBUSTION RESIDUE ON THE ESTUARINE GRASS SHRIMP (PALAEMONETES PUGIO) Danika M. Kuzmick, Master of Science, 2006 Directed By: Dr. Christopher Rowe, Department of Marine Estuarine and Environmental Science Burning coal for electricity produces solid coal combustion residue (CCR), which is rich in potentially toxic trace ele...
متن کاملAcute toxic effects of endosulfan sulfate on three life stages of grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio.
In this study, the toxicity of endosulfan sulfate, the primary degradation product of the insecticide endosulfan, was determined in three life stages of the grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio). After 96 h exposure to endosulfan sulfate, the grass shrimp adult LC50 was 0.86 microg/L (95% CI 0.56-1.31), the grass shrimp larvae LC50 was 1.64 microg/L (95% CI 1.09-2.47) and the grass shrimp embryo LC...
