Effects of moderate-to-severe sediment contamination may be readily discernable in both sediment toxicity bioassays and benthic community assessments. However, the impact may be less obvious under conditions of relatively mild contamination and significant variation of natural environmental variables. This study evaluated sediment toxicity and benthic community impacts for a shallow eutrophic lake system with relatively low levels of sediment metal contamination. We evaluated selected sediment physical and chemical properties, as well as benthic community structure, for 50 sites along a sediment Pb contamination gradient in the lake. We tested the toxicity of sediment from 20 of the sites, using a standardized 42-days sediment bioassay with Hyalella azteca survival, reproduction, and growth endpoints. Using principal component and correlation analyses we found negative relationships for both Pb and Cu, between sediment metal concentrations and the diversity and abundance of benthic macroinvertebrates. Taxa known to be metal-sensitive (e.g., Hyalella sp. and Physa sp.) were less abundant at sites with relatively higher Pb and Cu concentrations. However, amphipod performance in the chronic toxicity test was not related to sediment Pb or Cu concentrations (but was influenced by sediment organic content). Our results demonstrate that an assessment of community-level effects may be warranted even when sediment metal concentrations are too low to elicit detectable toxic effects in standardized laboratory tests.

轻度金属污染湖泊的实验室沉积物毒性测试结果与底栖动物群落变化评估之间的比较。

在沉积物毒性生物测定法和底栖生物群落评估中,中到重度沉积物污染的影响可能很容易辨别。但是,在相对轻度的污染和自然环境变量的显着变化的情况下,影响可能不太明显。这项研究评估了沉积物金属污染水平相对较低的浅水富营养化湖泊系统的沉积物毒性和底栖生物群落影响。我们评估了沿湖中沉积物Pb污染梯度的50个地点的选定沉积物理化性质以及底栖生物群落结构。我们使用标准化的42天沉积物生物测定法和透明质酸透明藻的存活,繁殖和生长终点,测试了20个地点的沉积物的毒性。使用主成分和相关分析,我们发现沉积金属中的铅与底栖大型无脊椎动物的多样性和丰度之间的铅和铜呈负相关。已知对金属敏感的分类单元(例如Hyalella sp。和Physa sp。)在Pb和Cu浓度相对较高的位置较少。但是,两栖动物在慢性毒性试验中的表现与沉积物中铅或铜的浓度无关(但受沉积物中有机物含量的影响)。我们的结果表明,即使沉积物金属的浓度太低而无法在标准化实验室测试中引起可检测到的毒性作用,也可能需要对社区一级的影响进行评估。沉积物金属浓度与底栖大型无脊椎动物的多样性和丰度之间的关系。已知对金属敏感的分类单元(例如Hyalella sp。和Physa sp。)在Pb和Cu浓度相对较高的位置上较少。但是,两栖动物在慢性毒性试验中的表现与沉积物中的Pb或Cu浓度无关(但受沉积物中有机物含量的影响)。我们的结果表明,即使沉积物中的金属浓度太低而无法在标准化实验室测试中引起可检测到的毒性作用,也应评估社区水平的影响。沉积物金属浓度与底栖大型无脊椎动物的多样性和丰度之间的关系。已知对金属敏感的分类单元(例如Hyalella sp。和Physa sp。)在Pb和Cu浓度相对较高的位置上较少。但是,两栖动物在慢性毒性试验中的表现与沉积物中的Pb或Cu浓度无关(但受沉积物中有机物含量的影响)。我们的结果表明,即使沉积物中的金属浓度太低而无法在标准化实验室测试中引起可检测到的毒性作用,也应评估社区水平的影响。在慢性毒性试验中,两足动物的表现与沉积物中铅或铜的浓度无关(但受沉积物中有机物含量的影响)。我们的结果表明,即使沉积物中的金属浓度太低而无法在标准化实验室测试中引起可检测到的毒性作用,也可以对社区水平的影响进行评估。在慢性毒性试验中,两足动物的表现与沉积物中的铅或铜浓度无关(但受沉积物中有机物含量的影响)。我们的结果表明,即使沉积物金属的浓度太低而无法在标准化实验室测试中引起可检测到的毒性作用,也可能需要对社区一级的影响进行评估。
