“…Figure 2 presents the results for chemicals acting by polar narcosis. Test species for which suitable data were found included the cladocerans Daphnia magna and Ceriodaphnia quadrangula [20–23], the polychaete Ophryotrocha diadema [24], the fish species Brachydanio rerio [25] and Poecilia reticulata [26], and the rotifers Brachionus rubens [27] and B. calyciflorus [19, 28, 29]. The data set of compounds consisted of substituted and unsubstituted anilines and phenols.…”

“…Regression analysis was only performed for the large group. The small group, which had a larger ACR, was composed of the data for Ceriodaphnia quadrangula, Poecilia reticulata , and Ophryotrocha diadema exposed to 3,4‐dichloroaniline and of the data for Brachydanio rerio exposed to 4‐chloroaniline [23–26]. Without these data, the correlation is high ( R 2 = 0.845), and the slope of the curve is 0.820.…”

Environmental risk assessment of chemicals is mostly based on the results of standardized toxicity tests. To obtain environmental quality criteria, extrapolation factors are used that depend on the amount and quality of available data. These extrapolation factors do not, however, take into account the mode of action of the compound tested or the life history of the test organism. In this study, we analyzed the variability in acute‐to‐chronic ratios (ACRs) for various chemicals in relation to their mode of action. Chemicals were classified as nonpolar narcotics, polar narcotics, specifically acting compounds, and heavy metals. As an acute endpoint, the LC50 was used; as a chronic endpoint, the lowest test concentration at which the natural rate of population increase (r) is affected, or LOEC(r), was used. Data were derived from the on‐line literature. Nonpolar narcotic chemicals demonstrate the smallest variation in ACRs, and acute tests can be used to derive chronic endpoints for this class. For the other classes, the variation in ACRs is larger. Fish species especially show a relatively large ACR. For heavy metals, differences in the mode of action may play an important role in explaining differences in ACRs. For the other three classes, however, it is less reliable to predict chronic toxicity using the results of acute tests. In general, differences in species sensitivity rather than in mode of action for the chemical seem to determine differences in ACRs.

“…The species of this genus occur from shallow to deep waters, being most abundant in environments rich in organic matter, as well as in sunken bones and in reducing environments (Paavo et al, 2000;Dahlgren et al, 2001;Rouse & Pleijel, 2001;Paxton & Morineaux, 2009;Wiklund et al, 2012;Taboada et al, 2013;Salvo et al, 2014). Many species are used as models for embryological, behavioral, evolutionary and bioassay studies due to their easy maintenance in the laboratory (Åkesson, 1970;Brown & Ahsanullah, 1971;Pfannenstiel, 1977;Hooftman & Vink, 1980;Sella, 1985Sella, , 1991Sella et al, 1997;Paavo et al, 2000;Sella & Lorenzi, 2000;Paxton, 2004;Prevedelli et al, 2006;Schleicherova et al, 2010).…”

A new species of Ophryotrocha (Annelida: Dorvilleidae) associated with the coral Lophelia pertusa (Anthozoa: Caryophylliidae)

Ophryotrocha is the most speciose genus within Dorvilleidae, with species occurring in a great variety of environments around the globe. In Brazil, records of Ophryotrocha are scarce and no specific identification is provided for any of the records. Herein we describe a new species of Dorvilleidae, Ophryotrocha zitae sp. nov. Adult and larval specimens were found in the axis of a fragment of the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa, sampled off São Paulo’s coast, at a depth of 245 m. Both forms are described and illustrated. This new species resembles O. puerilis, O. adherens and O. eutrophila, but can be distinguished based on differences in its mandible and on chaetae shape and arrangement.
