Ein neuer Biotest mit der HefeSaccharomyces cerevisiae auf aquatische Toxizit?t

Zusammenfassung  Die G?rleistung der HefeSaccharomyces cerevisiae wird als Bioindikator zur Erfassung aquatoxischer Wirkungen genutzt. Dazu wird die CO₂-Produktion der Hefezellen nach einer Vermehrungsphase unter toxischen Einflüssen gemessen. Als Kennwert (EC₂₀) dient die Schadstoffkonzentration, die die G?rung um 20% mindert. Es werden organische Verbindungen (unpolare und polare Narkotika), anorganische Salze (insbesondere von Schwermetallen), Tenside und Pflanzenschutzmittel geprüft. Die Ergebnisse werden, soweit verfügbar, mit den Daten eines Ciliatentestes mitTetrahymena pyriformis verglichen. Es ergab sich eine übereinstimmung von 90% bei vergleichbarer Testempfindlichkeit. Ergebnisse des Hefetests sind damit ?kotoxikologisch aussagef?hig. Der Test ist reproduzierbar, methodisch einfach zu handhaben und bietet eine Alternative für die Abwasserprüfung, da steriles Arbeiten nicht erforderlich ist. Online-First: 15. Juni 2000

Developing a Standardized Water Quality Index for Evaluating Surface Water Quality1

Abstract: There is a significant need for a science‐based approach to interpret water‐monitoring data and to facilitate the rapid transfer of information to water resource managers and the general public. The water quality Index (WQI) is defined as a single numeric score that describes the surface water quality condition at a particular time and location. The objective of this paper is to describe the WQI concept and the approach for developing an ecoregion‐specific standardized WQI that meets the needs described above. The premise of the proposed WQI is based on categorizing scientifically documented aquatic life responses to changes in instream water chemistry. The method uses an aggregated procedure that matches the entire range of standardized probable biological responses to standardized narrative water quality evaluation categories and standardized rank score categories. The calculation of WQI and decision‐making process are performed within an Excel spreadsheet software program. The article includes examples of the proposed WQI applications that could enhance effective water resource management and facilitate timely communication of water quality conditions to water resource managers and the general public.

兰州大石鸡不同生活史阶段栖息地选择的初步研究

大石鸡不同生活史阶段选择不同的栖息地．集群期选择坡度小、低海拔、东向的山坡和坟地．配对期选择坡度３０～６０°、海拔居中的栖息地，选择的栖息地范围较宽．产卵期多见于坡度小、地面环境异质性小、海拔高的农田和山坡．育雏期选择植物丛密度低、坡度小、海拔高的山坡和农田．繁殖后期选择植物丛密度低、低海拔、东向的山坡和沟底．不同生活史阶段植被覆盖度、植物高度、环境类型和坡向差异不显著，坡度差异显著，植物丛密度、海拔高度和地面环境异质性差异极显著．在各环境因子中，只有地面环境异质性对大石鸡栖息地选择的影响较显著．地形、食物和气候可能是影响大石鸡栖息地选择的根本因素．     

Modeling the Effects of Potential Salinity Shifts on the Recovery of Striped Bass in the Savannah River Estuary,Georgia–South Carolina,United States

Increased salinity in spawning and nursery grounds in the Savannah River estuary was cited as the primary cause of a 97% decrease in adult striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and a concomitant 96% decrease in striped bass egg production. Restoration efforts focused on environmental remediation and stock enhancement have resulted in restored salinity patterns and increased egg and adult abundances. However, future water needs or harbor development may preclude further recovery by reducing freshwater inflow or increasing salinity intrusion. To assess the effect of potential changes in the salinity regime, we developed models relating discharge, tidal phase, and salinity to striped bass egg and early larval survival and re-cast these in a quantitative Bayesian belief network. The model indicated that a small upstream shift (≤1.67 km) in the salinity regime would have the least impact on striped bass early life history survival, whereas shifts >1.67 km would have progressively larger impacts, with a 8.33-km shift potentially reducing our estimated survival probability by >28%. Such an impact could have cumulative and long-term detrimental effects on the recovery of the Savannah River striped bass population. The available salinity data were collected during average and low flows, so our model represents some typical and some extreme conditions during a striped bass spawning season. Our model is a relatively simplistic, “first-order” attempt at evaluating potential effects of changes in the Savannah River estuarine salinity regime and points to areas of concern and potential future research.
