Antioxidation activity and phospholipids fatty acids were measured to evaluate the effects of BPA on E.nuttallii. The results showed that the half life period of phytodegradation of BPA was less than 15 days. 2-(4-hydroxypheny)-2-(3,4-o-dihydroxypheny) propane and 2, 2-bis(4-hydroxypheny) propyl alcohol were identified to be as two possible products of BPA. The peroxidase (POD) activity of E.nuttallii decreased by 50% to 100% compared with that controlled at the end of the experiment. The fatty acid methanol esters (FAMEs) changed obviously too. It showed that oxidation stress and membrane damage would be the two effcting aspects of BPA on E.nuttallii.展开更多

We investigated how spatial distribution and filtering efficiency of Daphnia in the transition and lacustrine zones of the Nanwan Reservoir (China). Samplings were conducted seasonally for 2 years from six sites in the reservoir. Daphnia abundance and biomass were significantly higher in the lacustrine zone than in the transition zone. Similar composition and biomass of edible phytoplankton were found in the two zones, suggesting that food quantity could not explain high Daphnia distribution in the lacustrine zone. The variations of water velocity and food quality could help explaining Daphnia patchy distribution in the reservoir. On the one hand, rapid water velocity can cause the Daphnia decrement in the transition zone. On the other hand, the ratio of particulate organic carbon (POC) to chlorophyll a (chl a) concentration was significantly higher in the transition zone, indicating more allochthonous material constituted the food source for Daphnia. The lower quality food likely suppressed Daphnia development in the transition zone. A linear regression between Daphnia abundance and Secchi depth (SD) may suggest a cause-effect relationship where increased filtering efficiency was responsible for increased water clarity to some extent.展开更多
