“…All have been shown to have significant impacts on a variety of life stages in polychaetes, but the sensitivity of stages and species can differ markedly (e.g. Conner, 1972;Eisler and Hennekey, 1977;Oshida et al, 1981;Reish and Gerlinger, 1984;Mauri et al, 2003;Mendez and GreenRuiz, 2006;Gopalakrishnan et al, 2007). It is, therefore, important to assess the relative toxicities of a variety of metals on one species and one life-stage.…”

Nectochaete larvae of the ecologically and economically important ragworm, Nereis virens, were exposed to cadmium, chromium, copper, lead and zinc dissolved in seawater to nominal concentrations ranging from 0 to 5000 µg l !1 . Copper was the most toxic (mean LC 50 of 76.5 µg l !1 ± 95% CI 73.8-79.2 after 96 h exposure) and so was used for subsequent experiments. Exposure of gametes to greater than 500 µg l !1 copper for 2 or 4 h at 10ºC prior to fertilization, or a 10 min exposure during fertilization, significantly reduced embryo developmental success. The effect of copper on larval settlement was also assessed using sediment spiked to a range of concentrations (0, 50, 250, 500, 1000 mg kg !1 dry weight). Significantly fewer larvae were found in sediment of $250 mg kg !1 in comparison to the control or the 50 mg kg !1 treatment. Assessment of living larvae also confirmed a significant reduction in settlement, but in all treatments compared to the control, although the number of dead larvae also increased as the concentrations increased. These effects may have important implications for reproductive success and recruitment of N. virens to polluted sediments.

“…The fact that the range of toxicity values for a single species under different environmental conditions can exceed the reported range for several species emphasizes that single values for the toxicity of chromium, or other metals, should be treated with extreme caution. It should be emphasized that these values are lethal toxicity values, and should not be confused with sublethal values, for example a value of 1-26 ppm maximum proposed by Oshida et al, (1981), which are based on the effects of chromium on the reproduction of annelids.…”

“…Eisler and Hennekey (1977) compared the toxicity of several heavy metals to many species of estuarine invertebrates, at one temperature and salinity, and found the rank order of toxicity to be: Hg2+ + Cd2+ > Zn2+ > Cr6+ + Ni2+, with annelida more sensitive to chromium than other phyla, which is in agreement with the studies of Oshida (1976, lg?? ), andOshida et al, (1981) on the sublethal effects of chromium. Thus in both the literature and the present study, the taxonomic ranking of toxicity is generally annelida > crustacean > mollusc.…”

Acute toxicity of hexavalent chromium to 3 estuarine ammals (Corophium volutator, Macoma balthica, Nereis diversicolor) has been studied at 3 temperatures (5, 10, 15 'C) and a range of salinities (5 to 40 %o, in 5 %O increments), at time intervals of up to 384 h. Toxicity increased as temperature increased and as salinity decreased. From an analysis of variance, the significant factors and their interactions were included in a response surface model for C. volutator and M balthica separately. The range of toxicity values for a single species under a variety of environmental conditions exceeded the previously reported range of toxicity values for several species maintained in constant conditions. It is emphasized that due account should therefore be made of environmental conditions when evaluating the toxicity of chromium, in the estuarine environment.

“…Cr(VI) has obtained much attention because of its toxicity and mobility (Oshida et al, 1981;Holdway, 1988;Nieboer and Jusys, 1988;Wang et al, 1997;Sivakumar and Subbhuraam, 2005). Numerous reductants can reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III).…”
