Zinc and copper uptake by wheat and buckwheat under two transpiration rates

Tani, Fahima January 2003 (has links)
Wastewater has become a vital new supply for irrigation; however, concerns are mounting about environmental and health hazards related to heavy metals present in wastewater. Experiments were conducted to evaluate wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum L.) uptake of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn). / Some 15 plants per pot were allowed to establish themselves in the greenhouse for 4 and 6 weeks for buckwheat and wheat, respectively. Plants were then transferred to one of two growth chambers differing in the vapor pressure deficit (VPD), creating conditions for two different transpiration rates to occur: high (HT) and low (LT). A total 48 pots for each crop were seeded in order to evaluate the effect of 8 treatment combinations of Cu and Zn (0/0, 5/0, 15/0, 30/0, 0/25, 5/25, 15/25, 30/25) levels (mg L-1). Treatments were laid out in a completely randomized design within each growth chamber. / Three plants were harvested from each pot at days 10 and 20 for wheat, and days 6, 12 and 18 days for buckwheat to measure dry mass and Cu and Zn content in different plant parts. Heavy metal treatments had no significant effect on transpiration rate for either crops. The higher transpiration rate increased Cu/Zn uptake. A Zn amendment in the absence of Cu had a beneficial effect on buckwheat growth, whereas with Cu at 15 mg Cu L-1 or 30 mg Cu L-1 the lowest dry weights were recorded, regardless of the transpiration rate. Roots contained greater concentrations of Cu and Zn, irrespective of the treatment level and transpiration rate, than did stems, leaves or grain. High retention of heavy metals in the roots of cereal crops may be desirable because these parts are not generally utilized as food or feed.

Oceanographic factors affecting the catchability of Pacific Ocean perch, Sebastes alutus (Gilbert)

Scott, Beth Emily January 1990 (has links)
A main concern in fisheries science has been to identify an accurate index of fish abundance. An underlying paradigm in the science has been that the amount of effort (calculated in hours and standardized for boat size) spent fishing was the best variable to be used to account for the variation in catches. The use of the ratio, catch per unit of effort (cpue), assumes that variations in fish abundance are due to human-controlled processes above the ocean's surface. It does not account for variation due to oceanographic processes that affect fish behaviour and movement patterns below the ocean's surface. This study investigated the possibility that oceanographic factors such as temperature, salinity and depth could have effects on the variations observed in the apparent abundance of a demersal rockfish, Pacific Ocean Perch (Sebastes alutus. Gilbert). Simultaneous monitoring of physical variables and fish abundance estimation was achieved by attaching oceanographic equipment to the fishing gear of commercial vessels, monitoring the acoustic equipment and sampling the fish catch. It was found that Perch prefer a temperature range from 6.7 °C, down to at least 4.8 °C and that their movement patterns are linked to the movement of these temperatures by coastal wind patterns. Perch prefer areas with steep bathymetry, characterized by frontal activity due to interactions between the local bathymetry and tidal currents. Concerns that sampling only from highly successful commercial vessels may have biased abundance estimates, prompted the analysis of historical records of fish catch and government research surveys. Analyses between different boat sizes, different areas and different seasons from the original historical data base and a corrected subset revealed that it was mainly differences between areas that was responsible for the biasing of estimates. Deeper areas predictably produced more fish for all sizes of boats, but were fished more often by the larger boats used in the study. Therefore the field abundance estimates are likely to be biased towards areas of larger perch concentrations. / Science, Faculty of / Zoology, Department of / Graduate

Validation of laboratory versus field avoidance behavior of schooling fathead minnows to heavy metal blends relative to acute toxicity during long term exposure

Hartwell, S. Ian January 1985 (has links)
Avoidance to a blend of four metals (relative proportions: 1.00 copper, 0.54 chromium, 1.85 arsenic, 0.38 selenium) was determined for schools of fathead minnows (<i>Pimephales promelas</i>) in a laboratory avoidance chamber, an artificial stream and in a natural stream setting on a seasonal basis during continuous exposure to low levels of the metal blend for up to 9 months. Laboratory avoidance responses were determined seasonally during 12 months of laboratory holding for unexposed (control) fish and two levels of metal blend exposure in a steep gradient laminar flow chamber. Toxicity of the metal blend was determined for laboratory and field, control and metals acclimated fish. Unexposed fish avoided very low levels of the blend (29 ug/L total metals). Fish exposed to low levels of the blend (49 ug/L total metals) for 3 months failed to avoid levels equal to 5X holding exposure levels. Fish exposed to higher levels of the blend (98 ug/L total metals) preferred elevated levels (3X holding exposure) after 3 months exposure, mildly avoided 5X holding levels after 6 months exposure and were not responsive to levels approaching 10X holding exposure after 9 months continuous exposure. Activity was not affected by long term exposure. Field avoidance responses were determined seasonally during 7 months of field laboratory holding in New River water for unexposed (control) fish and exposed (98 ug/L total metals) fish in a modified artificial stream supplied with raw New River water. Unexposed fish avoided 71.1 and 34.3 ug/L total metals in spring (3 months holding) and summer (6 months holding) respectively. After 3 months exposure in New River water, fish did not respond to metal blends as high as 1,470 ug/L total metals. In-stream avoidance responses were determined in the summer for unexposed (control) and exposed I (98 ug/L total metals) fish in a Adair Run, a second order tributary to the New River. Unexposed fish avoided 73.5 ug/L total metals in Adair Run. After 3 months exposure, in New River water fish did not respond to metal blends as high as 2,940 ug/L in Adair Run. Water hardness, turbidity and physical setting are implicated as possible causative factors for differences between control fish responses tested in different seasonal and locations. Fish exposed to the high level exposure in the laboratory had a 96-hr LC50 value 1.25X higher than laboratory control fish. Laboratory control fish avoided metals levels at 0.4% of their 96-hr LC50. Fish exposed to the metals blend in the field had a 96-hr LC50 value 1.41X higher than field control fish. Field control fish avoided metals levels between 0.7 and 2.5% of their 96-hr LC50 depending upon test location and season. There was no difference between the 96-hr LC50s of laboratory vs field control fish or between laboratory vs field exposed fish. Optimum statistical methods for analyzing avoidance behavior in schooling fish were developed. / Ph. D.

Plant Activity and Organic Contaminant Processing by Aquatic Plants

Tront, Jacqueline Marie 12 April 2004 (has links)
This research explored fate of organic contaminants in aquatic plant systems through (i) experimental development of relationships to describe sorption, uptake and enzymatic processing of contaminants by plants and inhibition of aquatic plants by contaminants and (ii) incorporation of experimental relationships into a conceptual model which describes contaminant fate in aquatic plant systems. This study focused on interactions of aquatic plants L. minor and M. aquaticum with halogenated phenols. 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (2,4,5-TCP) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) are precursors for the highly toxic and heavily applied herbicides 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D and were examined in detail. Chlorophenols are generally resistant to microbial degradation, a property which may limit microbial remediation options as effective alternatives for clean up of contaminated sites. Relationships for fundamental interactions between plants and contaminants that dictate uptake, enzymatic processing and sequestration of contaminants by aquatic plants were established. An assay which quantified production of oxygen by plants was developed to quantify plant metabolic activity and inhibition. Uptake of chlorinated phenols depended on plant activity and aqueous phase concentration of contaminant in the protonated form. Therefore, plant activity, contaminant pKa and media pH were established as critical parameters controlling rate of contaminant uptake. A conceptual model was developed which incorporated plant activity and inhibition into a mathematical description of uptake of organic contaminants by aquatic plants. The conceptual model was parameterized using experimental data delineating effect of plant activity, inhibition and speciation on contaminant uptake and the model was verified using independently gathered data. Experimentation with radio-labeled chlorinated phenols established that contaminants were sequestered internal to plants by plant enzymatic processing. 19F NMR was established as a technique to quantify transformation and conjugation products internal to plants and contaminant assimilation by plants and demonstrated that multiple metabolites containing the parent compound were present and quantifiable internal to plants. Finally, fate of plant-sequestered contaminants in an anaerobic bioassay was examined using Desulfitobacterium sp. strain Viet1. The results of this study address the role of aquatic plants in sequestration of contaminants in surface waters that indicate the potential and limitations of use of aquatic plants in natural and engineered treatment systems.

A histology-based fish health assessment to determine the health status of two freshwater fish species from three hypertrophic impoundments in the North-West Province, South Africa

Sikhakhane, Ngcebo Nkululeko Treasure 11 February 2014 (has links)
M.Sc. (Aquatic Health) / South Africa’s freshwater ecosystems are under threat due to anthropogenic activities. Recent reports have shown that the Hartbeespoort- (HBPD), Klipvoor- (KD) and Bospoort Dam (BD) impoundments situated in the North-West Province are polluted as a result of mining, industrial and agricultural activities. These impoundments are classified as being in a hypertrophic state. The health status of fish in these impoundments is of concern, and needs to be investigated. For this purpose, Clarias gariepinus and Cyprinus carpio were collected for a histology-based fish health assessment. These two species are present in the selected dams and are some of the preferred fish species for human consumption by the local people. The aim of the study was to determine the health status of these fish species in HPBD, KD and BD using a semi-quantitative histopathological assessment on selected target organs and compare the results to fish from a reference site, the Marico-Bosveld Dam (MBD). Gill nets were used for the collection of specimens. Fish were macroscopically examined, weighed and measured for the calculation of the condition factor. Blood samples were collected for haematocrit, leukocrit and total protein determination. Once sacrificed, a necropsy-based health assessment (HAI) was performed to determine any abnormalities within the visceral cavity. The selected target organs were excised and weighed for the calculation of selected biometric indices. Collected tissue samples were processed using standard histological techniques and the prepared slides were stained using Haematoxylin and Eosin. Macroscopically, a number of fish from polluted sites exhibited liver with fatty change and focal discoloration as well as severe parasites within the visceral cavity. As a result, higher HAI values were recorded in polluted sites compared to the reference site. The haematocrit values varied from normal to below and above the normal range. Leukocrit values were within the normal range except for C. gariepinus from HBPD, which was above the normal range. Total protein values were within the normal range for both species for all sites. The condition factor and hepatosomatic index (HSI) values were within the accepted range except for the HSI of C. gariepinus from MBD. The mean organ index for all study sites fell within class 1 with the exception of the liver index from HBPD, KD and BD which was in class 2. Class 1 (index value <10) is indicative of slight histological alterations while class 2 (index value 10-25) translates to moderate histological alterations. Overall, a higher prevalence of histopathological alterations was noted among fish from polluted sites compared to fish from the reference site. Hence, on the basis of the macroscopic and histopathological results, the fish from the polluted sites were more affected in terms of these parameters compared to fish from the reference site. The results therefore provide valuable information for future bio-monitoring studies in the HBPD, KD and BD impoundments.

Investigating the Effects of 17α-Ethynylestradiol on Mitochondrial Genome Stability

Chivers, Alicia M. 23 May 2016 (has links)
Environmental toxicants are ubiquitous throughout the environment as a result of human activity. Among these toxicants, environmental estrogens are a category of particular concern due to their environmental prevalence and potency in altering reproductive traits. While many studies have addressed the detrimental effects of environmental estrogens on both aquatic and terrestrial organisms, few have analyzed the potential for these compounds to alter mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are the primary energy-generating system for all eukaryotic life, supporting all aspects of development, metabolism, and growth. Each cell within the body contains many mitochondria which in turn contain multiple copies of their own DNA genome, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Mutations in mtDNA are responsible for a wide range of human diseases such as metabolic syndromes, cancers, and obesity. Among these mitochondrial diseases many are characterized by increased levels of heteroplasmy, multiple mitochondrial DNA haplotypes within an individual. Increased heteroplasmy can alter normal mitochondrial function and influence disease initiation and progression. To date, no studies have investigated the effects of synthetic estrogens on mitochondrial genome stability. Synthetic estrogens have the capacity to bind to estrogen receptors and initiate estrogenic responses through translocation into the mitochondrion. Despite our knowledge about the relationship of heteroplasmy and disease, we still do not have a complete grasp of the mechanisms of heteroplasmic induction. Here we report our analysis of the effects of 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) exposure in three studies to investigate its effect on mitochondrial genome stability. Data analysis reveals a statistically significant relationship between EE2 exposure and increased heteroplasmic frequency.

The effects of copper and effluent on certain life stages of Xenopus laevis and Tilapia sparrmanii

13 August 2012 (has links)
M.Sc. / The increase in industrialisation, mining and agricultural activity along rivers could have a detrimental effect on aquatic environments unless the dangers of pollutants are not taken notice of. Metal ions and industrial effluent have become a source of pollution in the watercourses of South Africa. Pollutants generally have negative effects on the physiology of aquatic biota in polluted waters. The effects of copper and industrial effluent by the exposure of the clawed toad, Xenopus laevis and Tilapia sparrmanii are presented in this study. An experimental static-renewal system with an exposure time of 96 hours was followed at 25±1°C. After copper and effluent exposure, several physiological changes occurred in the two aquatic organisms. The sublethal effects that occurred include changes in hatching, survival, behaviour, growth impairment and developmental limitations. The results of the present study suggest that lethal endpoints can be used as indicators in detecting and evaluating the effects of aquatic pollution, caused by copper and effluent. Individual variation, however, could hamper the conclusions made but the study of aquatic organisms is of practical importance when conducting experimental studies in a laboratory and does not have the same impact as during field studies. Apart from the exposure to sublethal concentrations of copper and effluent, computational derivations of LC50, NOEC values and 95% confidence limits were made. The obtained concentrations were used as assumptions that pollutants should not exceed for the protection of aquatic life. Statistically different differences were found between the chosen derived variables of control and experimental organisms. The advantages of FETAX solution over borehole water can be attributed to the bioavailability of pollutants, which appears to be much less in those solutions. The predicted NOEC values provide some information regarding the concentrations at which no effects will be observed and the Target Water Quality Ranges (TWGR) for water were used to determine if the diluent was correct.

Phytoremediation of pharmaceuticals with salix exigua

Franks, Carmen G., University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science January 2006 (has links)
Municipal treated wastewater entering rivers contain biologically active pharmaceuticals capable of inducing effects in aquatic life. Phytoremediation of three of these pharmaceuticals and an herbicide was investigated using Sandbar willow (Salix exigua) and Arabidopsis thaliana. Both plants were effective at removing compounds from solution, with removal of 86% of the synthetic estrogen, 17α-ethynylestradiol, 65% of the anti-hypertensive, diltiazem, 60% of the anti-convulsant, diazepam (Valium®), and 51% of the herbicide atrazine, in 24 hours. Distribution of compounds within roots and shoots, in soluble and bound forms, differed among compounds. Uptake and distribution of pharmaceuticals within the study plants confirmed pharmaceutical behaviour can be predicted based on a physiochemical property, their octanol-water partitioning coefficients. An effective method for detection of 17α-ethynylestradiol within surface water using solid phase extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was developed. Previously unreported breakdown of 17α-ethynylestradiol into another common estrogen, estrone, during preparative steps and gas chromatography was resolved. / xv, 216 leaves ; 29 cm.
