Freshwater cladocerans and marine crustaceans were the most sensitive groups tested, with LC50 (96 h) values of less than 2 pg/L for the more sensitive species (Table 16.2). European eels (.Anguilla anguilla), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), and bluegills (.Lepomis macrochirus) seemed to be the most sensitive freshwater teleosts tested, with LC50 (96 h) values between 80...

A similar HPLC technique was employed for the investigation of the persistence of MG in juvenile eels (Anguilla anguilla). Extracts were separated in phenyl-hexyl and octyl silica columns (both 50 X 4.6 mm i.d. particle size 3 jun) in series. The mobile phase was composed of 60 per cent ACN and 40 per cent 0.05 M ammonium acetate buffer (pH = 4.5). The flow rate was 0.6 ml/min and analytes were detected at 620 nm. The concentrations of MG and LMG are compiled in Table 3.16. The data prove that this HPLC method can be used for the investigation of the persistence of MG and LMG in animal tissues [106],...

Eels, Anguilla anguilla, are extremely sensitive to odors. Their detection threshold for /3-phenylethyl alcohol lies at the unbelievable concentration of 3 X 10 mol/l. This corresponds to 1ml of this alcohol diluted in 58 times the volume of Lake Constance (80km long) in southern Germany where these experiments were performed. It has been calculated that only three molecules are in the olfactory sac at any one time (Teichmann, 1957, 1959). Coho salmon... 

Juveniles (elvers) of the European eel [Anguilla anguilla) migrate upstream in rivers. To test whether they might follow conspecific odors, elvers were taken from the Arno river in Italy and exposed to water in which other juvenile eels had lived for 8 months. They were attracted to this stimulus much more than to uncontaminated water or water from mosquito fish (Pesaro et ah, 1981).
