“…Although relatively good information is available about the acute toxicity of AgNO 3 to fish [1][2][3][4], little data is available on the relative toxicity of different Ag salts [3,10]. Most notably, no LC50 value has been published previously for Ag(S 2 O 3 ) n , which is the form of Ag discharged from photographic processing facilities.…”

“…Available information suggests that Ag(S 2 O 3 ) n is several thousand times less toxic to fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) than AgNO 3 and that AgCl n is at least 300 times less toxic than AgNO 3 [3,10]. Although these pioneer studies indicate that the free Ag ϩ is the Ag congener of concern for freshwater environments, there is a need to complement the data and establish LC50 values for Ag(S 2 O 3 ) n and AgCl n .…”

“…Finally, there is evidence that waterborne Ag(S 2 O 3 ) n can be a source for Ag uptake in fish. Fathead minnows appeared to accumulate Ag during a 10-week exposure to fluctuating concentrations of Ag(S 2 O 3 ) n (Ͻ20-60 g L Ϫ1 ) [13]. Exposure of fish to waterborne metals often evokes adaptive responses, such as reduced metal uptake, replacement of destroyed enzymes, and increased intracellular capacity to sequester the metal [14][15][16].…”

Abstract-Static-renewal 168-h toxicity tests of silver nitrate (AgNO 3 ), silver chloride (AgCl n ), and silver thiosulfate (Ag(S 2 O 3 ) n ) with juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhyncus mykiss) were performed by standard methods. Because of low solubility of AgCl(s), bioassays for AgCl n were performed in two separate ways. In one test series, AgCl(s) was added to freshwater and in another, AgCl n (aq) was generated by adding AgNO 3 to freshwater supplemented with 50 mM NaCl. Concentrations of Ag and metallothionein (MT) were analyzed in gills and livers of fish that survived the exposures. Although Ag added as AgNO 3 was found to be highly toxic to rainbow trout (168-h LC50 ϭ 9.1 g Ag L Ϫ1

“…Garnier and Baudin (1989) found a CF of 4 ϫ 10 5 (ml g Ϫ1 ww) for 110m AgCN uptake by S. obliquus. Terhaar et al (1977) determined a CF of 6,000 ml g Ϫ1 ww for silver thiosulfate bioaccumulation by the same species, contaminated under semicontinuous conditions. Fortin and Campbell (1999) calculated a surface-normalized CF value of 120 L m Ϫ2 for intracellular silver uptake by the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.…”

Bioaccumulation of silver-110m, cobalt-60, cesium-137, and manganese-54 by the freshwater algae Scenedesmus obliquus and Cyclotella meneghiana and by suspended matter collected during a summer bloom event ). However, Cs accumulation and depuration were very slow, with kinetic constants of 0.6-5 d Ϫ1 . Mn, Co, and Ag were more strongly accumulated by C. meneghiana than S. obliquus and vice versa for Cs. To evaluate the extrapolation of the kinetic rates fitted for S. obliquus and C. meneghiana to natural conditions, suspended solids were also collected during a bloom event and contaminated. Radionuclide exchange between three distinct compartments among the suspended solids was modeled: the kinetic rates fitted for S. obliquus and C. meneghiana were used to represent chlorophyte and bacillariophyte contamination, whereas kinetic rates describing a third compartment were estimated when possible. A third compartment was evidenced only for Mn and Co, whereas, for Ag, the chlorophyte and bacillariophyte compartments were sufficient to describe the particulate phase. For Cs, algae kinetic rates could not be used, so a single compartment was fitted. These experiments confirm the low affinity of Cs for phytoplankton and the high bioavailability of Ag. In the case of Co and Mn, several processes acting simultaneously govern the contamination of natural suspended solids.

“…Approximate bioaccumulation factors of 4-6 for bluegill were calculated based on a 6-month study and 2-10 for large mouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) exposed to silver nitrate for 4 months (both dry weight) (Coleman and Cearley 1974). Terhaar et al (1977) studied bioconcentration (uptake from water) and bioaccumulation (uptake from food and water) of silver thiosulfate complexes in algae (Scenedesmus sp. ), water flea (Daphnia magna), mussels (Ligumia sp.…”
