Abstract:

A biological study was conducted to find out about reproduction and feeding of G. lacustris in Neur Lake from northwest mountains of Iran. Plankton diversity, hydro-chemical factors and substrate characteristic were recorded monthly. Findings showed that reproduction period of this species was short and limited to May and the mean brood size was 10.2 ± 5.3 eggs per female. The hydro-chemical analysis showed the eutrophic characteristic of Neur Lake in which the average of total organic matter was 3.7 ± 3.0 percent. The phyla representative Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta and Cyanophyta were observed throughout the study and Chlorophyta was the dominant group. Three zooplankton phyla Rotatoria, Ciliophora and Copepoda were abundant respectively. Study on diet using gut content resulted in identification of 15 plankton genera with some resemblance to planktons of the lake.

Persistence of Herbicide Residues in Gammarus Lacustris (crustacea: Amphipoda) in Prairie Wetlands

Tandem mass spectrometry (MS) was used to detect herbicide residues in wild populations of amphipods collected from microcosms spiked with a single pulse of either Avadext-BW (triallate) or HoeGrasst (diclofop-methyl) at three different concentrations (1.0, 10.0, and 100.0 mg·L21). Independent confirmations of both herbicides were obtained by spiking amphipod tissues with 50 pg of authentic sta...
