چکیده

background: artemia urmiana are small crustaceans that because of its non-selective filter feeder pattern potentially may absorb high level of heavy metals through their living environment. in this study, the effects of different levels of cadmium and copper on survival, catalase activity and metals bioconcentration rates in a. urmiana nauplii have been investigated. methods: the research was carried out in february 2012 at university of tehran, tehran, iran. first experiment was conducted in nine concentrations with six replication, then lc50 and probable interactions between experimental metals were evaluated. in the second experiment, concentrations of metals absorbed by artemia and catalase activity were measured based on the acute toxicity indices, including noec, loec and lc50 at individual and mixed concentrations. results: the toxicity of copper sulphate (lc50= 29.87) was 2.5 times greater than cadmium chloride (lc50=79.08) and the toxicity interaction between cadmium and copper was synergistic. the rate of copper uptake in artemia was higher than cadmium and increased concentration of heavy metals significantly decreased the bioconcentration factor. comparison of mixed and individual concentrations showed that cadmium significantly decreased copper uptake, while it seems that cadmium bioconcentration was improved consequently. biochemical analysis showed that the catalase activity was affected undesirably in different individual and mixed concentrations; however, these changes were not significant. conclusion: a. urmiana nauplia seems to be highly resistant toward cadmium and copper in their culture medium and demonstrated excessive potential for uptake of heavy metals from their rearing environment.

Comparing the acute response to cadmium toxicity of nauplii from different populations of Artemia.

The lethal responses to cadmium of instar II nauplii from eight populations of Artemia belonging to the species Artemia franciscana, Artemia salina, Artemia persimilis, and Artemia parthenogenetica have been compared. Generalized linear models were used to fit mortality. The model indicates that there is a relationship between species, type of population, and mortality rate. The two populations...

Availability, Accumulation and Elimination of Cadmium by Artemia urmiana in Different Salinities

The effect of salinity on cadmium uptake and elimination by brine shrimp Artemia urmiana which lives only in Urumieh Lake, Iran, was studied for the first time. Brine Shrimp were acclimated to different salinities and exposed to the metal in solution at differing salinities and composition. Experimental salinities ranged from 50 to 125 gL and the concentrations for cadmium added to the solution...

Effect of adding probiotics into the rearing tanks of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) for the exploitation of Artemia urmiana, Artemia fransiscana and Artemia parthenogenetica Nauplii

Bacillus spp. are Gram-positive spore-forming bacteria used commercially as probiotics in the larviculture of fish. Bacillus spp. can act positively on cultured organisms by enhancing their survival and growth, stimulating their digestive and immune systems, and improving water quality. In this present study, grass carp larvae were fed on Artemia urmiana, Artemia fransiscana and Artemia parthen...

Determination of Lethal Concentration (LC50) Values of Vanadium and Toxicity Effect on the Growth of Artemia urmiana and A. Franciscana

Although there is growing evidence that metals can be toxic to various aquatic species, there is still insufficient knowledge to integrate this information in environmental risk assessment procedures. In this study, we have investigated lethal Concentration (LC50) and toxicity effects of vanadium on mortality and growth of Artemia urmiana and Artemia franciscana. The in 24 h of A. urmiana and A...

Salt Effects on Eggs and Nauplii of Artemia Salina L

Eggs of Artemia salina L., the brine shrimp, are easily obtainable in large quantities. Ecdysis takes place in two stages: (a) extrusion of the inner membrane, and (b) ecdysis of the nauplius from that membrane. The conditions which allow for the former are much more varied than those for the latter. Nauplii form in only solutions of a few sodium salts; and, in Mg, Ca, and Sr salts, potassium i...
