Method Development for a Short-Term 7-Day Toxicity Test with Unionid Mussels

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY, 40(12), 3392–3409.

By: N. Wang *, J. Kunz *, D. Hardesty*, J. Steevens *, T. Norberg-King *, E. Hammer*, C. Bauer*, T. Augspurger* ...

author keywords: Whole effluent toxicity; Species sensitivity; Test methods; Interlaboratory variability; Sodium chloride
MeSH headings : Animals; Bivalvia; Fresh Water; Toxicity Tests; Unionidae; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity
TL;DR: The mussel test method was refined by determining the best feeding rate of a commercial algal mixture for 3 age groups (1, 2, and 3-wk old) of L. siliquoidea in a 7-d feeding experiment, and then used the derived optimal feeding rates to assess the sensitivity of the 3 ages of juveniles in a7-d reference toxicant (NaCl) test.

A Comparison of the chemical sensitivities between in vitro and in vivo propagated juvenile freshwater mussels: Implications for standard toxicity testing

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 37(12), 3077–3085.

By: A. Popp n, W. Cope  n, M. McGregor*, T. Kwak* , T. Augspurger*, J. Levine n , L. Koch*

author keywords: Mussel propagation; Copper; Nickel; Ammonia; Unionid
MeSH headings : Aging / physiology; Animals; Bivalvia / drug effects; Fresh Water; Larva / drug effects; Reference Standards; Toxicity Tests, Acute; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity; Water Quality
TL;DR: In vitro propagated juvenile mussels may be appropriate for use in ASTM International‐based toxicity testing, and differences in chemical sensitivity exist between in vitro and in vivo propagated juveniles, they are within normal toxicity test variation. (via Semantic Scholar)
