Influence of Hardness and Dissolved Organic Carbon on the Acute Toxicity of Copper to Zebrafish (Danio rerio) at Different Life Stages
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology(2019)
摘要
Copper (Cu) bioavailability varies under water conditions. In the present study, the whole life of zebrafish was divided into three different life stages (larvae, juvenile and adult) based on the growth curve, then the influences of water hardness and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration on the acute toxicity of zebrafish were respectively investigated. The results indicated that the life stages had significant effects on Cu toxicity. The larvae stage was less sensitive to Cu than both the juvenile and adult stages. With the increase of water hardness, the toxicity of Cu on zebrafish was decreased, a linear relationship was observed between water hardness and Cu toxicity, and the same was true for DOC concentration. The results showed that taking the 24 days juvenile zebrafish to study the water quality criteria of Cu was stable, sensitive and economical.
