Chronic bioaccumulation and toxicity of cadmium from a periphyton diet to Hyalella azteca
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-18)Dietary cadmium (Cd) can contribute significantly to chronic bioaccumulation and toxicity in aquatic organisms. This contribution needs to be quantified so that the relative importance of waterborne and dietary cadmium ... -
Development of Models for the Prediction of Short-term and Long-term Toxicity to Hyalella azteca from Separate Exposures to Nickel and Cadmium
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-30)This study investigated whether principles of the Biotic Ligand Model (BLM), originally developed to predict acute metal toxicity to fish, may be applied to metal accumulation and toxicity in short-term and long-term ... -
Implications of copper and nickel exposure to different members of the Hyalella azteca species complex
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-25)Hyalella azteca, an amphipod crustacean, is frequently used in freshwater toxicity tests. Since the mid-1980s, numerous organizations have collected and established cultures of H. azteca originating from localities across ...
