In Situ Toxicity Testing with Locally Collected Daphnia.

Daphnia middendorffiana from local tundra ponds were transplanted into five reserve pits in the Prudhoe Bay oil field. Concurrently Daphnia were transplanted into tundra ponds adjacent to the reserve pits ('near ponds'), into more distant but connected ponds ('distant ponds'), an...

Description
Summary:Daphnia middendorffiana from local tundra ponds were transplanted into five reserve pits in the Prudhoe Bay oil field. Concurrently Daphnia were transplanted into tundra ponds adjacent to the reserve pits ('near ponds'), into more distant but connected ponds ('distant ponds'), and into control ponds to evaluate the toxicity of the fluids along contaminant gradients. The data from this study demonstrate a technique for in situ toxicity assessment with a resident invertebrate species.
