  • Acute and Sub-Chronic Effects of Copper on Survival, Respiratory
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Acute and sub‑chronic efects of copper on survival, respiratory metabolism, and metal accumulation in Cambaroides dauricus Jie Bao, Yuenan Xing, Chengcheng Feng, Shiyu Kou, Hongbo Jiang* & Xiaodong Li* Trace metal contamination in the aquatic ecosystem occurs worldwide: although copper is an essential trace metal, it is considered as a pollutant at certain levels in China. Freshwater crayfsh Cambaroides dauricus is a commercially important wild species in northeastern China, in which is an important heavy industry area. The population of C. dauricus was decreasing sharply due to the environmental pollution and human intervention over the past 20 years. However, nothing is known regarding the responses of this species to trace metal toxicants. This study aimed to determine the acute and chronic toxicity of Cu and its toxicological efects on respiratory metabolism, as well as Cu accumulation in C. dauricus. The acute (96 h) median lethal concentration (LC50) value of 32.5 mg/L was detected in C. dauricus. Then, acute (96 h; 8.24, 16.48 mg/L) and sub‑chronic (14 days; 2.06, 4.12 mg/L) exposure in Cu was investigated by estimating the oxygen consumption rate, ammonium excretion rate, and Cu accumulation. Both acute and sub-chronic Cu exposure induced an inhibition of the oxygen consumption rate and ammonium excretion rate, and thereby, an increased O:N ratio. The shift in O:N ratio indicated a metabolic substrate shift towards lipid and carbohydrate metabolism under Cu stress. Cu accumulation in the hepatopancreas and muscles throughout the study was found to be time-dependent and concentration-dependent.

  • September 2017
    September 2017 NEWSLETTER Welcome Back to all our members, both old and new. I hope you have had an enjoyable summer. Our mid-September event will be the Crayfish Dinner which harks back to the much-celebrated end of the crayfish season in Sweden. While crayfish are well known in Louisiana, they are relatively unfamiliar in the rest of America. Although similar to shrimp they have a taste all their own. For our dinner, we use crayfish from Sweden to make it an authentic taste experience. Our mid-October meeting will be devoted to catching up on business, preparing for the Bazaar and enjoying a presentation by members Keith and Katrin Shoemaker and Larilyn André on their recent trips to Iceland which is famous for its unique Nordic landscape. The Drott Bazaar comes up shortly after, on November 4. It is Drott’s biggest event of the year and brings out the participation of nearly all our members in one way or another. The Bazaar is our only large fund-raising event which enables us to support everything else the Lodge does throughout the year. It also is a great opportunity to get to know one another and enjoy the festive atmosphere! There are opportunities for everyone. If you like to chat with people you might be a great salesman. Every section, imported gifts, imported food, baked goods, and the food line can profit by your enthusiasm. Page !1 of !8 September 2017 Each of the Bazaar sections requires prior preparation such as ordering and pricing of items for sale.

Figures in Text) As is well known, the chromosome of the decapod Crustacea is very conspicuous for its large number, probably being the largest so far discovered in the animal kingdom (see HARVEY'S list, '16, '20). StilI further, it exhibits different and unique characteristics when compared with other groups of Crustacea e. g., Copepoda (HACKER '08; BRAUN, '09; MATSCHEK, '09; '10, AMMA, '11; HEBERER, '32), Ostracoda (SCHLEIP, '09; SCHMALZ, '11, '12), Cladocera (TAYLOR, '14; CHAMBERS, '13) Isopoda (CARNOY, '85; KOMAI, '20, SUGIYAMA, '32), not only in the number but also in the shape. Though a number of memoirs have appeared on the cytology of the Decapoda, many important problems as to the chromosome morphology still remain obscure in this group of animals. The present paper embodies the results of a study on the chromosome history in the crayfish, Cambaroides japonicus, with the purpose of determining the chromosome number and discovering the sex chromosome, if possible. The work was carried out under the kind guidance of Professor OGUMA, to whom the author wishes to express his hearty thanks. The author is also greatly indebted to Mr.
