Ectoine (ECT) is an amino acid produced and accumulated by halophilic bacteria in stressful conditions order to prevent the loss of water from cell. There a lack knowledge on effects ECT heat-stressed aquatic animals. The purpose our study was determine influence Daphnia magna subjected heat stress with two temperature gradients: 1 0.1 °C/min range 23-42 °C. Time immobilisation, survival during recovery, swimming performance, heart rate, thoracic limb movement levels shock protein 70 kDa 1A...
Fipronil (FIP) is an organic pesticide with many practical uses. Although some results indicated toxic effects in terrestrial and aquatic animal species, little known on its influence behavioral physiological endpoints of cladocerans. The aim our study was to determine the short-term FIP at concentrations 0.1 μg/L, 1 10 100 μg/L Daphnia magna sublethal indices: (swimming speed, distance traveled) (heart rate, post-abdominal claw activity thoracic limb movements). showed that induced...
Cyanobacteria are bloom-forming procaryotic microorganisms producing cyanotoxins—secondary metabolites toxic to aquatic and terrestial animals also humans. 'Alkaloid cyanotoxins are: neurotoxic anatoxin-a, saxitoxin cytotoxic cylindrospermopsin, which inhibits protein synthesis in various cell types saxitoxin. These substances very harmful many animal species. Moreover, they may accumulate at high concentrations tissues of such as bivalves fish, can be a source intoxication for predators...
Procaine penicillin (PP) is a β-lactam antibiotic widely used in human and veterinary medicine. Although PP detected surface water, little known on its effects aquatic invertebrates. Our aim was to determine the influence of swimming behaviour (track density, speed, turning angle, hopping frequency) physiological activity (oxygen consumption, heart rate, thoracic limb movement) freshwater invertebrate Daphnia magna exposed at concentrations 11.79 mg/L, 117.9 mg/L 1179 for 2 h 24 h. The...
