abstract

oligochaeta worms are important organisms in aquatic ecosystem. their omnipresence makes them as an indicator of environmental changes and health of aquatic ecosystem. the members of the family tubificidae and in particular, genus limnodrilus are considered as the most tolerant oligochaets to aquatic pollution. therefore identification and biological characteristics of this taxon are of great help to evaluate the ecosystem of water bodies. limnodrilus claparedeianus were collected from anzali wetland with a grab of 0.04 m2 capacity at 13 stations from august 2012 through june 2013. penis sheath was one of the main characteristics to identify them. results showed their maximum and the minimum density in spring (601.27±  466.8346 ind.m-2) and in autumn (156.12 ±136.3ind.m-2) respectively which was significantly different (p

Short communication: The first record of Philometra rischta (Nematoda: Philometridae) in Blicca bjoerkna of Anzali wetland, Iran

  The aim of the present study was to report Philometra rischta from Blicca bjoerkna from the Caspian Sea. During this study, from August (2008) to April (2009), 78 fish specimens were collected and transferred to the aquatic research laboratory of Shahid Beheshti University and were examined for parasitic infection. Parasites were fixed in formalin (10%). The parasites were indentified accordi...

Effects of 5-Fluorouracil, Etoposide and CdCl2 in Aquatic Oligochaeta Limnodrilus udekemianus Claparede (Tubificidae) Measured by Comet Assay

Genotoxicity of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), etoposide (ET) and cadmium chloride (CdCl2) was evaluated in Limnodrilus udekemianus, cosmopolitan tubificid species, by alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay). Groups of 50 individuals were exposed in vivo in water-only short-term (96 h) tests to 5-FU (0.004, 0.04, 0.4, 4 and 40 μM), ET (0.004. 0.04, 0.4 and 4 μM) and CdCl2 (0.004, 0.04, 0...
