The suitability of various synthetic media for the culture of Daphnia magna was tested.
Daphnids cultured in a standard medium for toxicity testing proposed by ISO showed low …

ABSTRACT; The purpose of this paper is to review the literature and to discuss the use of
Daphnia in toxicity tests in the context of what we understand about its biology. For example …

MS is a set of defined media. It is comprised of inorganics, plus crystalline vitamin B 12 and,
usually, a glycylglycine buffer, which are dissolved in distilled-deionized water. Algal and …

Maternal nutrition in Daphnia magna affects the body size of the young and the sensitivity of
the brood for acute exposure to cadmium, but not to chromium (VI). This phenomenon may …

Despite the widespread use of Daphnia magna as a test organism in bioassay studies, little
attention has been devoted to conditions necessary for culturing healthy animals in the …

Daphnia magna is used widely as a standard ecotoxicological indicator organism, and
protocols exist for its use in assessing the toxicity of substances under acute and chronic …

Short-term toxicity tests with Daphnia magna are reasonably reproducible. The sensitivity of
Daphnia pulex, Daphnia cucullata and Daphnia magna proved to be about the same in …

Two semistatic life table experiments with Daphnia magna were carried out on reconstituted
and Lake IJssel water. The “nontoxic concentrations” for cadmium with respect to the …

The study investigates the relationship between changes in physiological energetics of
organisms and alterations of growth, development and reproduction of Daphnia magna …

An artificial freshwater for the culture of zooplankton was developed. It guarantees the same
successful long-term rearing of stock cultures and high fitness of the animals as natural …
