Due to chemical and photochemical stability, triazophos has been frequently detected in rivers and oceans over the years with extensive use for pest control in agriculture , and it has become a worldwide ecological concern to the aquatic environment . Until now, fewer data are available regarding the potential long-term adverse effects of triazophos on aquatic invertebrates , which plays an essential role in aquatic food webs , as a key group for water ecosystems. In this experiment, the F 1 - and F 2 progenies of Daphnia magna were recovered when daphnias (F 0 ) exposure to triazophos at environmental-related concentrations (0.1 and 1.0 μg/L) for 21 d; and the indexes related to phenotypic traits, reproduction and gene expression were measured in tested animals. The results showed that heart rate and total number of neonates in exposed F 0 -daphnias were significantly lower than those of control group, and the detoxification genes ( HR96 and P-gp ) were up-regulated while genes related reproduction ( Vtg ) and molting ( Nvd and Shd ) were significantly down-regulated. The heart rate and individual size of F 1 -daphnias (<24 h) were significantly reduced in the treatment group. After 21-d recovery, the heart rate and expression of HR96 , P-gp, Vtg, Nvd and Shd were declined in F 1 -daphnias. There was no obvious difference of morphological traits and heart rate between treatment and control in F 2 -daphnias (<24 h). In summary, daphnias (F 0 ) exposure to triazophos with environmental dose could raise toxic effects on its offspring (F 1 ), which is mainly manifested by reduced heart rate, the accumulated number and individual size of offspring and decreased expression of genes related to molting and reproduction.

Nitrite and ammonia are two of the most common toxic nitrogenous pollutants in aquatic ecosystem, which can pose a serious threat to the health of aquatic organisms. Cladocerans, as an important part of freshwater ecosystem, will inevitably be harmed by these pollutants. To evaluate the combined toxic effects of these nitrogenous pollutants on cladocerans, we simulated 15 combinations of five nitrite concentrations (0, 0.5, 2, 4, 8 mg L−1) and three ammonia concentrations (0, 0.1, 1 mg L−1) to study the changes of life history traits of Daphnia pulex exposed to these combinations for 21 days. Results showed that under the combined stress of nitrite and ammonia, the survival time of D. pulex was shortened, the time to first batch of eggs and time to first brood were delayed, the body size and tail spine length at maturation were reduced, and the total offspring and the number of broods were decreased. There were some synergistically negative effects between the two nitrogenous pollutants. The presence of ammonia reduced the tolerance of D. pulex to nitrite, and vice versa. These findings provided new insights into the combined toxic effects of nitrite and ammonia on the life history traits of cladocerans, and were of great significance for understanding the population dynamics of specific species in cladocerans community under the condition of compound nitrogenous pollutants.

Nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging pollutants which can adsorb large amounts of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) and be ingested by aquatic organisms. NPs interact with dissolved organic matter (DOM) and result in significant impacts on the bioaccumulation of HOCs in the actual environment. For the first time, the joint effects of two complex matrices on the bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to Daphnia magna ( D. magna ) were studied by modeling calculation. The complex matrices, nano-sized polystyrene (PS) and/or humic acid (HA), were under environmentally realistic concentrations. A biodynamic model was modified and the uptake fluxes from all exposure pathways were quantified using the experimental data. A flux estimation showed that the bioaccumulation amounts at equilibrium were mostly dependent on dermal uptake (≥99.3 % of the total). The PS matrix would retard the intestinal uptake process in D. magna , especially for the less hydrophobic PAHs; while the HA or the HA-PS matrix would facilitate the mass transfer of PAHs from the matrix to lipids in the gut. Moreover, the biota matrix accumulation factor (BMAF) were calculated to verify the biodynamic model. This work is helpful to clarify the bioaccumulation effects of PAHs in complex environmental systems.

Triadimefon is ubiquitous in various environmental media. Although toxicity of triadimefon to individual of aquatic organisms has been confirmed, its effect on organisms at population level remain poorly understood. In this study the long-term effect of triadimefon on individual and population of Daphnia magna were studied using multi-generational experiments and matrix model. Development and reproduction of three generations of F1 and F2 were significantly inhibited with the triadimefon concentration of 0.1 mg/L ( p < 0.01). Toxicity of triadimefon to the offspring was stronger than to the parent ( p < 0.05). When triadimefon concentration was higher than 0.1 mg/L, both population number and intrinsic rate of increase showed a decreasing trend with the increasing exposure concentration. Age structure of the population also tended to decline. Toxicity threshold derived on population-level was between mortality-based LC 50 and reproduction-based NOEC of Daphnia magna , and also between acute toxicity and chronic toxicity derived from species sensitivity distribution (SSD). The risk of population level derived from risk quotient was low for most areas, and the results derived from probability risk showed that the expected loss of intrinsic rate of increase of population was 0.0039 without considering other factors. Compared to the individual-level, the ecological risks at the population level were closer to the actual situation of the ecosystem response to the chemical pollution.

The acute toxicities of the six naphthoquinone compounds on Daphnia magna ( D. magna ) at 48 h were classified as harmful, toxic, and very toxic. The results indicated that log P played an important part in the toxicity of compounds to organism. And 1-carbonyl or the other hydrophobic substituents of the naphthoquinone compounds are likely to mediate the binding of the compound to the target via hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Our results provided a foundation for further investigation using 3D-QSAR and HQSAR to evaluate the aquatic ecological risk and the mechanism of toxicity of naphthoquinones.

Suspended particles are a natural component of aquatic ecosystems. This study provides a report on the survival, growth and reproduction of common-scale and nanoscale particles of Daphnia magna Straus exposed to five types of particles (i.e. KN (kaolinite), MN (montmorillonite), MNn (nanoscale MN), NP (natural particles), and NPn (nanoscale NP)). The results of the study show that the suspended particles elicited a dose-dependent toxicity in KN, MN and MNn, with the following toxicity pattern: MN > KN > MNn. On the contrary, NP and NPn did not show any harmful effects on the animals. Instead, NP and NPn, especially NPn, contributed to the survivorship of the animals. The animals were able to survive throughout the 21-day period of bioassays, and when the particle concentration reached 600 mg L −1 , they produced many neonates without any addition of food. This experimental results also indicated that the nanoscale particles were less toxic than the common-scale ones, both for MN and NP. Moreover, the results of the 21-day period of bioassays indicated that when the organisms were exposed to particles of different size scales, they showed different selection patterns for allocating resources. This may be due to the generation of different assimilation and digestion patterns.

Hydroxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (OH-MWCNTs), with large amounts of hydrophilic groups attached on the nanoparticle surface, have caused considerable concern because of their inevitable release into aquatic environments. They may interact with other contaminants such as heavy metals and even influence their toxicity, fate, and transport. In the present study, the stability of OH-MWCNTs suspended in aerated Nanjing tap water (moderately hard) was evaluated using the spectrophotometric method. The toxicity of OH-MWCNTs to Daphnia magna was determined, and nontoxic concentrations were used in acute toxicity, accumulation, and sorption tests. It was found that OH-MWCNTs increased the Ni toxicity in a concentration-dependent manner under different pH levels. Nickel adsorption onto the OH-MWCNTs and the uptake of OH-MWCNTs increased the exposure of D. magna to Ni, which was verified by sorption and accumulation tests conducted under different pH levels. The lower pH level contributed to a higher overall toxicity, which could be interpreted by the increasing amount of Ni adsorption onto OH-MWCNTs with the decreasing pH levels.

The impacts of three commonly used benzophenone-type UV filters including benzophenone (BP), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone (BP3), and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone-5-sulfonicacid (BP4) were assayed in vitro using a cladoceran Daphnia carinata . The 24-h LC50 on D. carinata calculated for BP, BP3, and BP4 was 8.37, 2.18, and 82.27 mg l −1 , respectively. BP3 and BP4 significantly impacted on the time of D. carinata first molting at a concentration of 0.1 µg l −1 . BP4 had an inhibitory effect on D. carinata molting and BP3 had an inhibitory effect on D. carinata pregnancy at a concentration of 1 µg l −1 . Furthermore, BP4 significantly inhibited the number of D. carinata first brood per female at a concentration of 10 µg l −1 . All of the endpoints from acute and chronic toxicity demonstrated that the hydroxy group in BP3 and BP4 significantly enhanced the toxic effect compared to BP. Therefore, the toxicity of BP-type UV filters is related to their molecular structure.

Microplastics and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are emerging contaminants ubiquitous in the environment. These particles can act as carriers of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs), such as chlorpyrifos (CPF), an organophosphorus insecticide. This study investigates the acute toxicity of CPF combined with model polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) using Daphnia magna as a model organism. The uptake and accumulation of luminescence-labelled 240 nm PS-NPs were visualized and quantified during co-exposure tests. Heart rates were measured using a video-based method, and IC 50 values for heart rate were calculated to assess the acute toxicity of CPF. The results demonstrate that PS-NPs alone have no acute toxicity, while CPF exhibits high toxicity, with an IC 50 of 50.8 μg/L. However, in the presence of 50 μg/L PS-NPs, the IC 50 increased to approximately 400 μg/L, indicating an antagonistic effect of PS-NPs on CPF toxicity. The adsorption of CPF onto PS-NPs can reduce the concentration of free CPF, leading to aggregation and sedimentation of CPF-PS-NP clusters, thereby decreasing the uptake of CPF by D. magna . This interaction between CPF and PS-NPs in D. magna exemplifies the toxicity-attenuating effects and potential load capacity of nanoplastics for HOCs.

In recent years, many new chemicals have been synthesized from biomass with an aim for sustainable development by replacing the existing toxic chemicals with those having similar properties and applications. However, the effects of these new chemicals on aquatic organisms remain relatively unknown. In this study, the effects of bisphenol A (BPA) and lignin-derived bisphenol (LD-BP, a BPA analogue) on Daphnia magna were evaluated. The animals were exposed to BPA, LD-BP, and their binary mixture at concentrations (2–2000 μg L −1 ) for 21 days. The expression of various biochemical markers and the effects on growth, molting, and reproduction parameters were examined. The results showed that the weight of daphnids significantly increased after exposure to BPA, LD-BP, and the binary mixture relative to that of the control animals. The activity of superoxide dismutase was significantly inhibited by LD-BP and the binary mixture. At the highest exposure concentration of the binary mixture, the activities of acetylcholinesterase and α-glucosidase, fecundity, and the number of neonates per brood were significantly altered. Our results showed that the effects of BPA and LD-BP on D. magna were generally comparable, except for the effect on the weight at their environmentally relevant concentrations (e.g., <20 μg L −1 ). The effects on the reproduction of D. magna could be mainly due to the shift in energy redistribution under BPA and LD-BP exposures. Our results implied that exposures to both BPA and LD-BP could potentially cause deleterious effects at the population level in D. magna .

The aim of this paper was to examine the sublethal toxic effects of nonylphenol ethoxylate (NP 10 EO), its primary degradation product nonylphenol (NP), and their mixture on Moina macrocopa . Chronic toxicity tests were carried out by using sublethal chemical concentrations. Results showed that all treatments reduced the survivorship, body length, and reproduction of M. macrocopa with NP being 10 %–20 % more toxic to M. macrocopa than NP 10 EO. Results also indicated that the toxic effects of NP 10 EO and NP mixture on M. macrocopa were more severe than that of any single chemical alone. At the highest concentration in this experiment, 0.337 mg L −1 NP 10 EO plus 0.0154 mg L −1 NP treatment caused the survivorship of M. macrocopa to zero, neonates number of reproductions to zero, 45.5 % reduction in the body length, and 88 % reduction in the total neonates number.

Because of their large surface area and high hydrophobicity, nanoplastics (NPs) possess a large sorption capacity for and strong affinity to hydrophobic organic chemicals, which may substantially alter the environmental behavior, especially the bioaccumulation of hydrophobic organic compounds. The present study aims to examine the effects of nano-size polystyrene (PS) on the bioaccumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in Daphnia magna. A novel passive dosing method was developed to quantify the accumulation of NPs in D. magna in different exposure suspensions with various NP concentrations during 2 h and 24 h exposure. Addition of NPs enhanced the amount of PCBs accumulated in D. magna by 1.4–2.6 times compared to no presence of NPs during 24 h exposure. The relative amounts of NP-bound PCBs accumulated in D. magna were 18% to 81% for different PCB congeners at various NP concentrations. The significance of different uptake pathways in the accumulation of PCBs in D. magna with the presence of NPs was found to relate to the chemical properties of PCBs, the ingestion rate of plastics and the exposure conditions. These results have justified additional research efforts toward investigating the fate and toxic effects of NP-bound contaminants ingested by organisms.
