Ecotoxicological Tests
See below the ecotoxicological tests performed by APLYSIA.
|
|
Daphnia similis: A fresh-water microcrustacean used in acute ecotoxicity tests of industrial and sanitary effluent samples, chemicals, environmental samples of surface water, ground water, interstitial water, and sediment elutriates. |
|
|
Ceriodaphnia dubia: A fresh-water microcrustacean used in chronic ecotoxicity tests of industrial and sanitary effluent samples, chemicals, environmental samples of surface water, ground water, interstitial water, and sediment elutriate samples. |
|
|
Danio rerio (acute test): Freshwater fish, used in acute ecotoxicity tests with samples of industrial and sanitary effluents, chemicals, environmental samples of surface water, groundwater, interstitial water, and sediment elutriates. |
|
|
Danio rerio (chronic test): Newly hatched larvae of the fish Danio rerio can be used in short-term chronic toxicity tests over seven days. This test is in line with practices aimed at minimizing the use of adult fish in experiments. Since the responses are evaluated through exposure during the early life stages, it provides complementary interpretations in the ecotoxicological assessment of samples. |
|
|
Echinometra lucunter: A sea urchin used in chronic ecotoxicity tests of industrial and sanitary effluent samples, chemicals, environmental samples of surface water, ground water, interstitial water, and sediment elutriate samples. |
|
|
Skeletonema sp: A single-celled alga used in chronic ecotoxicity tests of industrial and sanitary effluent samples, chemicals, environmental samples of surface water, ground water, interstitial water, and sediment elutriate samples. |
|
|
Nitocra sp.: A estuarine benthic copepod used in acute and chronic ecotoxicity tests in liquid environmental samples such as surface water, sediment elutriates, total sediment as well as chemicals. |
|
|
Tiburonella viscana: A burrowing amphipod used in acute ecotoxicity tests in samples of total sediment. |
|
|
Vibrio fischeri: Marine bioluminiscent bacteria used in acute ecotoxicity tests of industrial and sanitary effluent samples, chemicals, environmental samples of surface water, ground water, interstitial water, and sediment elutriates. |
|
|
Hyalella azteca: A fresh-water amphipod used in acute and chronic ecotoxicity tests in samples of total sediment. |
|
|
Mysidopsis juniae: A mysid crustacean used in acute ecotoxicity tests in samples of liquid effluents, chemicals, sediment elutriates, and oil water-soluble fraction. |
|
|
Grandidierella bonnieroides: amphipod usually reported in Brazilian coast. Native tropical specie is a perfect environmental quality indicator. Relevant in whole sediment ecotoxicological approaches (chronic & agude) to monitoring activities and interventions in estuarine zone and Brazilianterritorial sea. |
|
|
Chironomus sancticaroli: Tropical insect, distributed throughout the national territory, is an excellent indicator of both sediment and surface waters. In addition to the mortality effect, the structural analysis of the mouthparts allows for careful and precise assessments. For sediment, it is also possible to provide a diagnostic classification into quality categories of the evaluated samples. |
|
|
Artemia salina: Microcrustaceans of the genus Artemia are used for the assessment of acute toxicity in liquid samples such as surface waters, elutriates, and effluents, as well as in chemical products/substances that are soluble or dispersed in water. Since they are widely distributed and serve as a food source for various fish species, tests with these organisms add ecological relevance. Another point to consider is that they are highly resistant to environmental conditions, making them ideal for inclusion in ecotoxicological investigations. |
