16、 of biological tests. Historically, toxicity tests have mainly focused on the impact of pollutants present in the water column of aquatic ecosystems, without considering the hazard of toxicants present and accumulating in the sediments.“Direct contact” tests in which the test organisms are exposed t

17、o the whole sediment have been gradually developed with endobenthic species, such as chironomid larvae Chironomus riparius or Chironomus dilutus (formerly C. tentans) or epibenthic amphipod crustaceans (Hyalella azteca).The test specified in this International Standard is a direct contact test for d

18、etermination of the percentage mortality and/or growth inhibition on the fresh water ostracod Heterocypris incongruens (Ramdohr, 1808) after 6 d exposure to a whole sediment (see References 1, 2).H. incongruens is a cosmopolitan ostracod species, which has to date already been used extensively for t

19、oxicity testing not only of whole sediments, but also by extension on sludges and soils (see References 321).The direct contact test with H. incongruens has a sensitivity which is quite similar to that of the amphipod crustacean Hyalella azteca and the midge larva Chironomus riparius (see References

20、 2225).The assays are performed with neonates hatched from dormant eggs (cysts), which bypasses the need for culturing or maintaining live stock cultures of test organisms.H. incongruens neonates (150 m to 200 m) are substantially smaller than Hyalella azteca and Chironomus riparius, and the assays

21、can be performed in much smaller test containers, hence require much less bench space and incubator space.The effects are evaluated after a shorter exposure time (6 d) than in the assays with the amphipod crustacean (10 d to 28 d) and midge larvae species (10 d to 28 d).

22、 vBS ISO 14371:2012BS ISO 14371:2012Water quality Determination of fresh water sediment toxicity to Heterocypris incongruens (Crustacea, Ostracoda)WARNING Persons using this International Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This standard does not purport to address all of th

23、e safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.IMPORTANT It is absolutely essential that tests conducted in accordance with this Internation

24、al Standard be carried out by suitably qualified staff.1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a method for the determination of lethal as well as sublethal effects of contaminated sediments on the ostracod crustacean Heterocypris incongruens after 6 d exposure.The method is applicable not only

25、 to fresh water sediments, but also by extension to solid wastes and soils after addition of (uncontaminated) water.The method can also be applied to chemicals or preparations which are spiked into a reference sediment.This International Standard is not applicable to the testing of sediments from th

30、od neonatesOstracod neonateLengthm12345678910Mean length, Lstart9.4 Addition of sediment and algal food to the test containerPerform the direct contact test on the whole sediment in six replicates, in parallel to a control sediment (6.6) also in six replicates. When using six-well microplates (7.3),

31、 the assay requires two such plates.Inoculate three wells in each microplate with whole sediment and the three other wells with control sediment. Alternatively, the six wells of the first microplate can be filled with whole sediment, and those of the second plate with control sediment.Put 2 ml test

32、medium (6.3) into all the cups of the two microplates.Fill the cup of the spatula scoop (7.6) with test sediment and strike off the excess of sediment with the flat spatula (7.7) to keep a volume of sediment of either 500 l or 1 000 l sediment in the scoop (depending of the type of spatula).Transfer

33、 the sediment into the six wells of the two microplates using the tip of the flat spatula to empty the cup of the spatula scoop completely. Each well shall receive 1 000 l sediment (i.e. two scoops of 500 l when using a spatula scoop of 500 l capacity).Proceed similarly with the control sediment (6.

34、6), filling the remaining six wells of the microplates with 1 000 l control sediment.Keeping the microplates horizontal, gently shake them to distribute the sediment evenly over the bottom surface of the wells.Take the container with the algal food suspension (6.4.2), shake it gently to homogenize t

35、he algal suspension, and add 2 ml algal suspension to each well of the two microplates.NOTE Algal food is provided to the organisms at the start of the test to avoid starvation which may lead to mortality or decreased growth of the test organisms.9.5 Transfer of the ostracod neonates into the test c

36、ontainerPut the hatching Petri dish with the neonates on the stage of the stereomicroscope.Fill a small Petri dish (7.2) with 10 ml test medium (6.3) and transfer with the glass micropipette about 65 to 70 ostracods into the Petri dish.Put the Petri dish with the ostracods under the stereomicroscope

37、 and transfer 10 neonates into each well of the first microplate. ISO 2012 All rights reserved 5BS ISO 14371:2012ISO 14371:2012(E)Repeat this transfer operation for the second microplate.On completion of the transfers, cover the two microplates with a sheet, e.g. of polyethylene, and the microplate

38、cover.9.6 Incubation of the test systemIncubate the two microplates at (25 1) C in darkness for 6 d.9.7 Measurements9.7.1 GeneralAt the end of the exposure period, the ostracods have to be recovered from the test containers to determine the percentage mortality and to make the length measurements of

39、 the surviving ostracods.The ostracods can be recovered “directly” from the wells containing control sediment since they are easily visible under a stereomicroscope. This is, however, mostly not the case for the test wells containing test sediment, for which a “sieving procedure” has to be applied t

40、o recover the ostracods.9.7.2 Recovery of the living ostracods from the wells with control sedimentPlace one multiwell on the stage of the stereomicroscope and switch on (preferably) both the top and the bottom illumination.Centre one well containing control sediment and, with the aid of the glass m

41、icropipette, pick up the living ostracods one by one and transfer them into a small Petri dish (7.2) containing test medium (6.3)Perform the same operation for all the wells containing control sediment.9.7.3 Recovery of the ostracods from the wells with test sedimentTake one multiwell, and with a “l

42、arge mouth” pipette (7.5) gently mix the sediment in the first well which contains test sediment, with the layer of test medium (6.3) on top of the sediment.Aspirate part of the sediment suspension, transfer it into the microsieve (7.8) and gently rinse the contents of the microsieve with tap water

43、from a wash bottle until all the fine sediment particles are washed out.Proceed further with the stepwise transfer of the sediment suspension from the well to the microsieve, followed by rinsing with tap water, until most of the sediment has been transferred from the well to the microsieve.Add a few

44、 millilitres of test medium (6.3) to the well, mix it with the remaining part of the sediment, and transfer it to the microsieve for rinsing. Repeat this operation several times, if necessary, to make sure that all the sediment and all the ostracods have been transferred.Turn the microsieve upside d

45、own on top of a small Petri dish (7.2) and rinse the contents of the microsieve back into the Petri dish with test medium (6.3). Make sure that the full contents of the microsieve are transferred into the Petri dish.These transfer and rinsing operations have, subsequently, to be performed for all th

46、e wells with test sediment of the two microplates.NOTE The Petri dishes will contain the remaining (large) sediment particles and the living and dead ostracods which can now easily be seen under a stereomicroscope.The user can, if desired, also apply other techniques to recover the ostracods.9.7.4 S

47、coring of the mortalityPut, one by one, all the Petri dishes containing the ostracods on the stage of the stereomicroscope and count the number of living ostracods in each Petri dish.6 ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS ISO 14371:2012ISO 14371:2012(E)Score the number, nA, of living ostracods counted in

48、each Petri dish on data report template 2 (Table 2) in the appropriate cells of the “Number of living ostracods” row.Subtract each of the scored numbers, nA, from 10 ( i.e. the number of test organisms inoculated in the well at the start) to obtain the number of dead ostracods, 10 - nA, and score th

49、ese numbers on data report template 2 in the cells of the “Number of dead ostracods” row.NOTE The Petri dishes originating from the wells with test sediment can also contain “dead” ostracods. The total number of ostracods (i.e. dead plus living) can still be less than 10. The explanation for this is that, except for manipulation errors during the transfers and the sievings, dead ostracods decompose very rapidly, leaving no visible remains.Proceed the same way with all the Petri dishes containing the test o
