“…Dumping of cadmium–nickel hydride wastes by a battery factory from 1953 to 1979 brought surface sediment layer Cd concentrations to 10 3 –10 4 mg/kg over a broad region of Foundry Cove, an unprecedented level in an aquatic system (Occhiogrosso et al 1979; Knutson et al 1987). Klerks and Levinton (1989) found that Foundry Cove sediments that were inhabited by L. hoffmeisteri , and surprisingly, a diverse and abundant invertebrate community, were toxic to L. hoffmeisteri collected from a neighboring reference population (South Cove, 1.5 km from Foundry Cove); causing 100% or 99% mortality in short exposures.…”

LOSS OF EVOLUTIONARY RESISTANCE BY THE OLIGOCHAETELIMNODRILUS HOFFMEISTERITO A TOXIC SUBSTANCE-COST OR GENE FLOW?

The oligochaete Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri at Foundry Cove (FC), New York evolved genetic resistance to cadmium (Cd) and lost resistance after contaminated sediments were removed by dredging. Selection (on survival time in dissolved Cd) was used to generate tolerance to evaluate fitness cost, the commonplace expectation for evolutionary reversal. The hypothesis that gene flow from neighboring populations could "swamp" resistance was addressed by 16S rDNA sequences. In disagreement with the cost hypothesis, selected-Cd tolerant worms and controls showed no difference in total fecundity or growth rate in environments. Whether such rapid "readaptation" could occur naturally is an important question for understanding broad effects of pollutants. Highly

“…En algunos trabajos se ha demostrado que las especies bentónicas se ven afectadas por exponerse a elevadas concentraciones de Cd y Pb (Fanny et al, 2013). Otros estudios han demostrado que el Cd es tóxico para los organismos expuestos a este en los sedimentos (Occhiogrosso, et al, 1979;Traunspurger y Drews, 1996;Ordonez et al, 2011). Alguno de los efectos demostrados son la alteración del ciclo gametogénico de la almeja Ruditapes decussates (Smaoui-damak et al, 2006) y la reducción de la densidad de macroinvertebrados bentónicos (Ordonez et al, 2011).…”

Determinación de cadmio y plomo en agua, sedimento y organismos bioindicadores en el Estero Salado, Ecuador

et al. 2018

Existen evidencias de contaminación por metales pesados en el Estero Salado, localizado en la ciudad de Guayaquil, provincia del Guayas, en la costa de Ecuador. Con la finalidad de identificar organismos bioindicadores de contaminación por metales pesados, se estudió la concentración de Cd y Pb en agua, sedimento, hojas de mangles como Rhizophora racemosa, Avicennia germinans, Conocarpus erectus y Laguncularia racemosa, y gasterópodos como Littorina varia y Cerithidea mazatlanica, que se encontraban a nivel del Puente Portete en el Estero Salado. Las muestras fueron analizadas por espectrofotometría de absorción atómica de flama. Los valores de Cd y Pb en agua y sedimento superaron a los límites permisibles establecidos en las normas ecuatoriana y canadiense. Los gasterópodos L. varia y C. mazatlanica demostraron ser los mejores bioindicadores de contaminación al acumular en sus tejidos blandos 2,45±0,49 mg kg-1 de Pb y 1,49±0,67 mg kg-1 de Cd, respectivamente. Los mangles no acumularon en sus hojas Cd y Pb por la baja biodisponibilidad en el sedimento
