Manual for the Culture of Selected Freshwater Invertebrates by S. G. Lawrence Pdf

Selected freshwater invertebrates of various trophic levels are grown at the Freshwater Institute for studying basic physiological and nutritional relationships, effects of toxic materials on morphological and physiological phenomena and effects of continued laboratory culture on population dynamics, physiology and morphology, tetrahymena vorax, helisoma trivolvis, Artemia sp., Daphnia magna, D. pulex, Hyalella azteca, Gammarus lacustris lacustris, Orconectes virilis, Chironomus tentans and Hexagenia rigida have been cultured. Procedures for culturing organisms on various nutritional bases are outlined. Techniques such as storage of partly developed eggs or over-wintering animals, artificial insemination of insect egg masses, washing procedures and production of given life phases specifically for use in toxicological studies are described. Methods for collecting and transporting organisms from the field are outlined. Specific environmental preferences, diseases and parasites and geographic distribution are described.

Invertebrates in Freshwater Wetlands of North America by Darold P. Batzer,Russell B. Rader,Scott A. Wissinger Pdf

Wetlands are crucial ecosystems that help filter a great number of toxicants out of the earth's waters. They must be managed and occasionally even built from scratch, including all of the flora and fauna that grows there. Invertebrates play a key role in the wetland food chain. This comprehensive resource is the first dedicated solely to the ecology and management of invertebrates.

Methods for Measuring the Toxicity and Bioaccumulation of Sediment-associated Contaminants with Freshwater Invertebrates by Anonim Pdf

Sediment contamination is a widespread environmental problem that can potentially pose a threat to a variety of aquatic ecosystems. The sediment test methods in this manual will be used by The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to make decisions under a range of statutory authorities concerning such issues as: dredged material disposal, registration of pesticides and toxic substances, superfound site assessment, and assessment and cleanup of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. The use of uniform sediment testing procedures by USEPA programs is expected to increase data accuracy and precision, facilitate test replication, increase the comparative value of test results, and ultimately, increase the efficiency of regulatory processes requiring sediment tests.

Sediment Toxicity Assessment by G.Allen Burton Pdf

Sediment Toxicity Assessment provides the latest information regarding how to evaluate sediment contamination and its effects on aquatic ecosystems. It presents an integrated ecosystem approach by detailing effective assessment methods, considerations, and effects to each major component of marine and freshwater systems, including the benthos, plankton, and fish communities. The approaches emphasize defining habitat conditions (physical and chemical), toxicant bioavailability, factors influencing toxicity (lab and field), biomarkers, acute and chronic toxicity, study design, collection methods, and EPA management strategies. The book also explains how to integrate the assessments. Sediment Toxicity Assessment will be useful to to all environmental managers, environmental scientists, ecotoxicologists, environmental regulators, aquatic ecologists, environmental contractors and consultants, instructors, students, conservation commissions, and environmental activist organizations.

Freshwater Crayfish Aquaculture in North America, Europe, and Australia by Jay Huner Pdf

Freshwater Crayfish Aquaculture in North America, Europe, and Australia is the first text to summarize the methods of culture for the eight most important crayfish species in the world. Methods developed to culture crayfishes around the world differ significantly, and this book enables readers to develop workable strategies for cultivating different crayfish species in specific environments. Huner and associate authors cover the following topics in detail: methods of crayfish culture crayfish diseases crayfish processing economics of crayfish culture Each of the the three major crayfish industries are well-represented in this new book and special attention is given to the specific needs and accomplishments of each area, which is beneficial to producers in other countries. For example, while hatching technology has been important in Australia and Europe, it hasn?t yet been applied to any degree in North America. At the same time, North America has developed a major crayfish processing industry. Disease problems have resulted in more emphasis on that subject in Europe and yet it is vital to all involved in crayfish aquaculture. Businessmen, farmers, scientists, laymen, or students need to be exposed to the methods and problems associated with crayfish production in different parts of the world if they are to be successful in any crayfish project, whether it be research- or profit-oriented. Freshwater Crayfish Aquaculture in North America, Europe, and Australia is intended to provide all readers with one source of information on the subject of freshwater crayfish aquaculture. Professional staff, advanced students, and extension personnel will find the entire text beneficial. Those in corporate organizations and the agriculture field, especially decisionmakersin operations, will find the methods, markets, and financial considerations in this book a helpful guide.

The Use of Morphological Deformities in Chironomid Larvae for Biological Effects Monitoring by William Frank Warwick Pdf

Biological communities provide a direct means of observing the impact of contaminants because they are exposed to, and directly involved in, the transformations that contaminants undergo in freshwater ecosystems. The response of these communities provides a direct measure of the net toxic burden impacting an ecosystem. The purpose of this paper is to review the role of chironomids (Diptera: Chironomidae) in aquatic communities and, in particular, the utility of morphological deformities in chironomid larvae for detecting and assessing the significance of contaminants in freshwater ecosystems.
