Aquatic Invertebrate Bioassays
1980Description The first comprehensive review of the use of invertebrates in toxicity testing and hazard evaluation. Discussions range from comprehensive evaluations of specific organisms to proposals for alternative methods.

Pesticide Residues in Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates
1983Over the past 6 years a great number of fish and aquatic invertebrates from experimental and commercial fishponds have been analyzed for the presence of organochlorine insecticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Invariably, all specimens contained DDE and PCBs and in many instances also DDT, DDD and BHC isomers.

Ecotoxicology, aquatic invertebrates
Global chemical pollution is recognized as a major threat to marine and freshwater environments. The huge biodiversity of aquatic invertebrates, their key position in ecosystem functioning, their suitability for field and laboratory experimental approaches, the existing knowledge on their ecology, along with growing genomic resources made invertebratesChaumot, Arnaud +3 more

1988
As pointed out by the editors of several recent books (Barnes and Minshall 1983, Resh and Rosenberg 1984; Merritt and Cummins 1984), the freshwater biology literature, especially that concerned with stream ecology and aquatic invertebrates, has expanded enormously in the last 15 years. Research at Coweeta follows this worldwide trend.

Assessment of Aquatic Invertebrates
2009The assessment of freshwater habitats using benthic macroinvertebrates as a proxy indicator of the general ‘health’ of the freshwater environment has a long and illustrious history. This chapter introduces the means of undertaking such assessments. It outlines how and when to sample, the differing strategies used, depending on the questions to be asked

Sponges are classified as the simplest metazoan phylum of the animal kingdom. They have a hollow circular body that filters out the water of the environment, retaining the food. Spongin is a protein that is the main part of the body and a “skeleton” of spikes consisting of calcium carbonate and silica hardens it.

Aspartic proteinases in fishes and aquatic invertebrates
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 19881. The literature on molecular properties and physiological role of aspartic proteinases in fishes and aquatic invertebrates has been reviewed. 2. Pepsins have not been detected in invertebrates, and apparently cathepsin D, as well as other cathepsins, act both as digestive and lysosomal enzymes in many of these animals.

Pro‐oxidant and antioxidant processes in aquatic invertebrates
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2014Most aquatic organisms behave as conformers with respect to environmental variables, including changes in O2 availability. Aquatic species that show tolerance to hypoxia/anoxia or hyperoxia can be excellent models for investigating physiological and biochemical adaptations that deal with changing O2 and consequent changes in metabolic rate and ...

Volume regulation in aquatic invertebrates
Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1981AbstractVolume regulation in marine and estuarine invertebrates is usually assessed by the extent of restoration of original weight following a salinity transfer. However, volume regulation also includes the limitation of osmotic water movements. Mechanisms of volume regulation include (1) reduction of permeability of the body wall to water, reducing ...

Aquatic Invertebrate Dormancy and Medicine
2019Aquatic organism dormancy has interesting medical applications, which include dormancy in parasite species, dormancy in intermediate hosts of parasites, and several diseases that seem to present a kind of dormancy. Among these, the most remarkable is the state of dormancy in some types of cancer, one of the most serious human diseases.
