摘要:The water flea Moina macrocopa, an important freshwater zooplankter, is a useful test species for the study of sensitivity to environmental toxicants, and is recognized as a general representative of other freshwater animals. The sublethal effect of nickel on hemoglobin concentration and acetylcholinesterase activity of Moina macrocopa was evaluated, as well as the usefulness of bioassays using artificial sediments. The results show that hemoglobin concentration and acetylcholinesterase activity in the Moina macrocopa test could become useful for routine monitoring to detect the presence of nickel in aquatic environments.
