Sublethal effects of trimethoprim on four freshwater organisms
Sublethal effects of trimethoprim (TMP) were evaluated in four freshwater organisms: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and Lemna minor (growth inhibition), Daphnia magna (reproduction and growth inhibition) and Poecilia reticulata (swimming activity inhibition). Cytochrome P4501A induction was also evaluated in P. reticulata. TMP showed varying levels of

Costs of Chronic Waterborne Zinc Exposure and the Consequences of Zinc Acclimation on the Gill/Zinc Interactions of Rainbow Trout in Hard and Soft Water [PDF]
Juvenile rainbow trout were exposed to zinc in both moderately hard water (hardness 5 120 mg CaCO3/L, pH = 8.0, Zn = 150 μg/L or 450 μg/L) and soft water (hardness = 20 mg CaCO3/L, pH = 7.2, Zn = 50 μg/L or 120 μg/L) for 30 d.

Sublethal effects of three ectoparasites on fish [PDF]
Vulnerability to predation, resistance to high temperature, weight‐length relationships, and fecundity were compared for fish with and without or with light and heavy infestations of three ectoparasites. The fish and parasites were fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) with anchor worm (Lernaea cyprinaceae); brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) with gill

Effects of sublethal and realistic concentrations of the commercial herbicide atrazine in Pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus): Long-term exposure and recovery assays [PDF]
Background and Aim: The commercial formulations of the herbicide atrazine (cATZ) are widely employed in Brazilian agriculture, and, as a consequence, ATZ has been found at levels above that established by law in the river basins in Brazil.

2018 State-of the Science of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil (DDO) in U.S. Arctic Waters: Eco-Toxicity and Sublethal Impacts [PDF]
Chemical dispersants were employed on an unprecedented scale during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and could be a response option should a large spill occur in Arctic waters. The use of dispersants in response to that spill raised
