3、a test material(added to dilution water, but not to food) on Ceriodaphniadubia Richard 1894, during continuous exposure throughout aportion of the organisms life. These procedures should also beuseful for conducting life cycle toxicity tests with otherCladocera (Guide E 1193), although modifications

Terminology3.1 The words “must,” “should,” “may,” “can,” and “might”have

18、very specific meanings in this standard. “Must” is used toexpress an absolute requirement, that is, to state that the testhas to be designed to satisfy the specified condition, unless thepurpose of the test requires a different design. “Must” is onlyused in connection with factors that directly rela

19、te to theacceptability of the test (see Section 14). “Should” is used tostate that the specified condition is recommended and has to bemet in most tests. Although a violation of one “should” israrely a serious matter, violation of several will often render theresults questionable. Terms such as “is

20、desirable,” “is oftendesirable,” and “might be desirable” are used in connectionwith less important factors. “May” is used to mean “is (are)allowed to,” “can” is used to mean “is (are) able to,” and“might” is used to mean “could possibly.” Thus the classicdistinction between “may” and “can” is prese

21、rved, and “might”is never used as a synonym for either “may” or “can.”3.2 A brood refers, collectively, to the young neonatesreleased at the time of adult molt by the young/adult animaloriginally exposed to the control and test solutions. Thenumber of young in each brood should increase over the per

22、iodof the test. Animals may be transferred to fresh control or testsolution before completing the release of a brood, resulting insplit broods. Care is needed when interpreting the results todetermine the number of broods released during a test.3.3 For definitions of other terms used in this standar

23、d, referto Guide E 729, Terminology E 943, and Guide E 1023. For anexplanation of units and symbols, refer to IEEE/ASTM SI 10.4. Summary of Guide4.1 At the beginning of the test, at least ten C. dubia lessthan 24-h old are maintained individually in separate testchambers (or in separate compartments

24、 in two or more testchambers), exposed to control water and one (preferably 2 ormore) toxicant concentrations. One or more control treatmentsmay be used. Control treatments may include standard labora-tory water only, or some combination of standard water(s) anduncontaminated site water, to provide

25、a measure of organismsurvival and reproduction based on specific test water condi-tions, such as hardness, alkalinity, and so forth. A controltreatment consists of maintaining organisms in water to whichno test material has been added in order to provide (a)ameasure of the acceptability of the test

26、by giving an indicationof the quality of the test organisms and the suitability of thedilution water, food, test conditions, handling procedures, andso forth, and (b) the basis for interpreting data obtained fromthe other treatments. In each of the other treatments the tenorganisms are maintained in

27、 water to which a selected concen-tration of test material (percentage of effluent or river, or lakewater) has been added. Specified data on the concentration oftest material and the survival and reproduction of C. dubia arecollected and analyzed to determine the effect of the testedconcentration (%

28、 effluent or ambient water) on C. dubia.4.2 Table 1(1)4contains a summary of the conditions usedwhen conducting a three-brood test with C. dubia. Table 2 andSection 14 list the requirements that need to be met for a testto be deemed acceptable.5. Significance and Use5.1 Ceriodaphnia was first used a

29、s a toxicity test organismby Mount and Norberg (4). Introduced for use in effluent andambient water evaluations, Ceriodaphnia have also been avaluable addition to single chemical test procedures.5.2 Protection of a population requires prevention of unac-ceptable effects on the number, weight, health

30、, and uses of theindividuals of that species, or species for which the test speciesserves as a surrogate. A three-brood toxicity test is conductedto help determine changes in survival and the number ofneonates produced that result from exposure to the testmaterial.5.3 Results of three-brood toxicity

31、 tests with C. dubia mightbe used to predict chronic or partial chronic effects on speciesin field situations as a result of exposure under comparableconditions.2For referenced ASTM standards, visit the ASTM website, www.astm.org, orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.

33、hronic sensitivities of different speciesand the chronic toxicities of different materials, and to studythe effects of various environmental factors on results of suchtests.5.5 Results of three-brood toxicity tests with C. dubia mightbe useful for predicting the results of chronic tests on the samet

34、est material with the same species in another water or withanother species in the same or a different water. Most suchpredictions are based on the results of acute toxicity tests, andso the usefulness of the results of a three-brood toxicity testwith C. dubia might be greatly increased by also repor

35、ting theresults of an acute toxicity test (see Guides E 729 and E 1192)conducted under the same conditions. In addition to conductingan acute test with unfed C. dubia, it might also be desirable toconduct an acute test in which the organisms are fed the sameas in the three-brood test, to see if the

36、presence of thatconcentration of that food affects the results of the acute testand the acute chronic ratio (see 10.4.1).5.5.1 A 48 or 96-h EC50 or LC50 can sometimes beobtained from a three-brood toxicity test with a known testmaterial, but often all the concentrations in the test will bebelow the

37、EC50 or LC50. In addition, it is usually desirable toknow the EC50 or LC50 before beginning the three-brood test,as a means to determine the concentrations for use in thechronic test (see 10.4.1). It should be noted that results from anacute test may not necessarily correspond to those of a chronict

38、est, due to the addition of food to the chronic test.5.6 Three-brood toxicity tests with C. dubia might be usefulfor studying biological availability of, and structure activityrelationships between, test materials.5.7 Results of three-brood toxicity tests with C. dubia canvary with temperature, qual

39、ity and quantity of food, quality ofthe dilution water, condition of the test organisms, and otherfactors.5.8 Results of three-brood toxicity tests with C. dubia mightbe an important consideration when assessing the hazards ofmaterials to aquatic organisms (see Guide E 1023), or whenderiving water q

40、uality criteria for aquatic organisms.6. Apparatus6.1 FacilitiesCulture and test chambers should be main-tained in a constant temperature room, incubator, or recircu-lating water bath. If dilution water is not prepared batchwise, itis usually piped directly from the source of an elevatedheadbox so i

41、t can be gravity-fed into culture tanks andcontainers used to prepare test solutions. Strainers and air trapsshould be included in the water supply system. The head-boxshould be equipped for temperature control and aeration. Airused for aeration should be free of fumes, oil, and water; filtersto rem

42、ove oil and water are desirable. Filtration of air througha 0.22 m bacterial filter might be desirable (5). The facilityshould be well ventilated and free of fumes. To further reducethe possibility of contamination by test materials and othersubstances, especially volatile ones, the culture tanks sh

43、ouldnot be in a room in which toxicity tests are conducted, stock ortest solutions are prepared, effluent or test material is stored, orequipment is cleaned. During culture and testing, organismsshould be shielded from disturbances with curtains or partitionsto prevent unnecessary stress. A timing d

44、evice should be usedto provide a 16-h light and 8-h dark photoperiod.

Transferorganisms to fresh reconstituted water on Day 3 prior to theaddition of algae rye grass powder. After the 2

47、nd brood hasbeen produced (generally Day 5 or 6 at 25C), isolate theoriginal females into 100-mL beakers containing 60 mL of theappropriate reconstituted water (50-mL beakers containing 30mL of medium will suffice). To these beakers add 1 mL of 0.4O.D. algae/30 mL of media. Discard the mass culture

48、and 1stand 2nd brood young contained therein.X2.1.1.1 Use the 3rd brood young to start new cultures andexperiments. The isolated females generally produce between10 and 16 third brood neonates for use in starting cultures andexperiments.X2.1.1.2 This technique is particularly useful when thecohort e

49、xperimental design (blocking on females) is used. Onemass culture of this type is generally sufficient to produce atleast 10 females whose young are within 12 h of each other.Cultures may be started on consecutive days to ensure thatsufficient organisms are present on any given day.X2.1.2 Use 1-L glass beakers as culture vessels. Maintaincultures in several separate vessels to provide back-up in caseone is lost due to accident or other problems such as lowdissolved oxygen (D.O.), or lack of food. Fill the 1-L culturevessels with 900 mL of media. A new culture is started eachwe
