Toxicity of mercury on in vitro development of parthenogenetic eggs of a freshwater cladoceran Daphnia carinata

Evaluation of acute toxicity and teratogenic effects of plant growth regulators by Daphnia magna embryo assay

“…The different developmental stages have different sensitivities to environmental pollutants. In addition to the 48 h EC 50 value of common Daphnia neonate, the effects of pollutants on the developmental stages have also been studied, such as life-cycle (21-day tests) effects, the spawning rate of Daphnia, and the impact on offspring [22][23][24][25]21]. Many studies also showed that embryos had a higher sensitivity to several toxicants than later stages of the life-cycle [26][27][28].…”

Effect of feeding selectivity on the transfer of methylmercury through experimental marine food chains

“…Zooplankton are primary consumers that assimilate organic and inorganic compounds from their diet for their own biosynthesis reactions, somatic growth, reproduction and repair, but they also, inadvertently, incorporate contaminants that do not serve any beneficial physiological purpose (Khangarot and Das, 2009). The results of the preexposure experiment with microalgae indicated that the high Hg content in H. uniremis could be due to the high Hg intake from its N. closterium and I. galbana diet.…”

In vivo Visualization of the Process of Hg2+ Bioaccumulation in Water Flea Daphnia carinata by a Novel Aggregation‐Induced Emission Fluorogen

“…Zooplanktons at the lower trophic levels are important links between primary producers and predators. The water flea Daphnia has a short generation time, easily adapts to a mass culture condition and is sensitive to the change of aquatic toxins . Therefore, it is an ideal aquatic invertebrate to be used in toxicological studies, and its biology, morphology, reproduction cycle and the method of culture have been well documented .…”

“…The water flea Daphnia has as hort generation time, easily adaptst oam ass culture condition and is sensitivet ot he change of aquatic toxins. [9] Therefore, it is an ideal aquatic invertebrate to be used in toxicologicals tudies, [10] and its biology, morphology, reproduction cycle and the method of culture have been well documented. [11][12][13] Some particularr eferences are available on Daphniam agna as at est organism for risk assessment for water quality management in fishery anda quaculture.…”
