摘要
Leptodora kindtii is a major predator of small zooplankton in eutrophic and fish-abundant lakes. However, as it is very difficult to culture in the laboratory, information about its sensitivity to pollutants is lacking. We have successfully established a laboratory clonal culture of Leptodora. In this study, acute toxicities of an insecticide and three heavy metals to Leptodora were estimated by using laboratory-cultured individuals. Our results suggest that Leptodora is more susceptible to contamination with those chemicals than the standard test organism, Daphnia.
