Assessing Contaminant Sensitivity of Endangered and Threatened Aquatic Species: Part I. Acute Toxicity of Five Chemicals

Abstract: Abstract. Assessment of contaminant impacts to federally identified endangered, threatened and candidate, and stateidentified endangered species (collectively referred to as "listed" species) requires understanding of a species' sensitivities to particular chemicals. The most direct approach would be to determine the sensitivity of a listed species to a particular contaminant or perturbation. An indirect approach for aquatic species would be application of toxicity data obtained from standard test procedures a… Show more

“…The 96-h LC50s for exposure of adult zebrafish and trout parr to potassium PFOS were 22.2 AE 4.6 mg/L (mean AE standard error about the mean [SE]) and 2.5 AE 0.8 mg/L (mean AE SE), respectively, which is consistent with a higher sensitivity of rainbow trout to contaminants [33]. These values are also consistent with previous 96-h PFOS LC50s of 7.8 (potassium and diethanolamine salts) À22 (potassium salt) in rainbow trout and 4.7 (lithium salt) À9.5 mg/L (potassium salt) in fathead minnow [34] but are slightly lower than the value previously reported for zebrafish (71 mg/L, unspecified salt) [35].…”

“…The most sensitive species in both cases were H. azteca and Ceriodaphnia dubia. Dwyer et al (2005) determined the toxicity of permethrin to 18 threatened and endangered aquatic species. Atlantic sturgeon, shortnose sturgeon, Lahontan cutthroat trout, spotfin chub, and Apache trout were determined to be the five taxa most susceptible to permethrin, with 96-hour LC 50 values of less than 1.2 to 1.71 µg/L (Dwyer et al, 2005).…”

By way of comparison, the LC 50 values for the standard laboratory test species rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), fathead minnow, and sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegates) were 3.31, 9.38, and 17.0 µg/L permethrin, respectively.…”

“…While data on the toxicity of PCP have been widely reported (Adema and Vink 1981;Belgers et al 2009;Besser et al 2005;Dwyer et al 2005), information on the toxicity of PCP to native species in that can be used in sitespecific risk assessments and establishing water quality guidelines or criteria (WQC) in China has been lacking. The potential use of toxicity data for non-native species to develop local criteria is controversial due to uncertainty whether criteria based on species from one geographical region provide appropriate protection for species in a different region (Davies et al 1994).…”
