“…Besides, a relatively not wide toxicity range can be observed for these three chemicals ( Table 3). The most sensitive test organisms in these cases were Lecane quadridentata, B. plicatilis, and B. calyciflorus, respectively, while the more resistant were Brachionus havanaensis (Zn), P. acuticornis (Cu), and L. hamata (Hg) [93,95,135,140,143,144].…”

“…On literature, little information is available about the toxicity of other organic compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and hexane. Nevertheless, Ferrando and Andreu-Moliner [7] and Pérez-Legaspi et al [95] have obtained some toxicological data ( Table 2). For xylene, hexane, and toluene, B. calyciflorus and B. plicatilis are the reference organisms, where the first was most sensitive for the three chemicals [7,95].…”

“…For cadmium, E. dilatata shows a great sensitivity with a 48h LC50 of 0.014 mg/L, while B. plicatilis is more resistant (39 mg/L) [97,141]. The most sensitive rotifer to chromium was Lecane luna (48-h LC50 of 3.26 mg/L) [95], and the highest 24-h LC50 of 17.4 mg/L was registered for B. calyciflorus [142]. Other physical condition that might modify the sensitivity of a test organism is desiccation.…”

An important objective of aquatic ecotoxicology is to determine the effects of toxic compounds in organisms that play a central role in aquatic communities where rotifers have a large impact on several important ecological processes. The contribution of the rotifers to secondary production in many aquatic communities is substantial as they are often the larger fraction of zooplankton biomass at certain times of the year. In addition to the importance of their ecological roles in aquatic communities, the rotifers are attractive organisms for ecotoxicological studies by its short life cycles and rapid reproduction, their small size, and little volumes needed for culture and toxicity assays. The main end points used in ecotoxicological studies are mortality, reproduction, behavior, and biomarkers. Such parameters are included in international regulations from all over the world, where different species are used to evaluate the effect of environmental samples or chemical compounds. The high diversity of rotifers is an important issue because it can modify their relative susceptibility to toxicants. Thus, more studies are needed to know the relations and mechanisms involved in clonal variation, sensitivity, and development, which can be all assessed by state-of-the-art procedures.

“…Lecane quadridentata (figure 3) is found in Mexican waters (Lake Chapala) and has been used by several authors to assess different toxicity endpoints against several toxicants including metals, organic compounds and pesticides [57][58][59][60]. In [61], a study was conducted to perform three toxicity tests "lethal (48h mortality), sub-lethal (inhibition of AChE activity) and chronic (5 day inhibition of the instantaneous growth rate) assays" using carbaryl and methylparathion.…”

Toxicity and Hazard of Agrochemicals

The increase of worldwide population and the need to control pests are some of the factors that have led to the application of agrochemicals on agricultural areas to protect and increase crop production. Nevertheless, these substances are of environmental concern since they can reach water reservoirs and act on non-target organisms. Therefore, different aquatic species have been tested to evaluate their sensitivity to different toxicants, including pesticides, so as to elucidate the secondary effects of these chemicals to estimate safe levels in aquatic media. " wide variety of toxicity tests can be found in literature to evaluate the toxicity of xenobiotics in the environment at organismal and sub-organismal levels under different regimes. This chapter focuses on those tests performed with some freshwater invertebrates cladocerans and rotifers to study the toxicity of four important classes of pesticides.

Toxicity tests were performed on the freshwater rotifer Lecane quadridentata exposed to the pesticides carbaryl and methyl parathion (lethal, sublethal, and chronic) to compare the sensitivity between different endpoints: (a) 48-h mortality; (b) 30-min in vivo inhibition of esterase activity; (c) 5-day inhibition of the instantaneous growth rate. The emphasis of this work was to find the most appropriate endpoint to evaluate the toxicity of these pesticides in view of their sensitivity, duration, and ecological relevance. The comparison between the three toxicity tests show that the 5-day chronic tests have the lowest EC50 (2.22 and 6.6 mg/L), lowest-observed-effect concentration (2.5 and 2.5 mg/L), and no-observed-effect concentration (1.0 and 1.2 mg/L) values for carbaryl and methyl parathion, respectively. This indicates that the estimate of the instantaneous rate of natural increase r is the most sensitive endpoint regarding the toxicity of these pesticides. This sensitivity might be due to the effect on reducing the growth potential form the first generation on. Lethal and sublethal tests are closely related, suggesting that the immediate effect after inhibition of esterases is death. In general, the sensitivity of L. quadridentata is similar to other species of rotifers exposed to methyl parathion. Therefore, the 5-day chronic toxicity test with the freshwater rotifer L. quadridentata should be considered a good candidate to evaluate the effect of anticholinesterase pesticides, due to its high sensitivity and ecological relevance.
