Summary

This dataset characterizes the acute toxicity of copper and zinc to white sturgeon (~30 days post hatch) and cladocerans (<24 hours old) in waters with varying dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by conducting 96-hour white sturgeon and 48-hour cladoceran copper and zinc exposures in test waters with natural DOC (from pond water) at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 5.5 mg/L.

Purpose

The data were collected as an attempt to characterize the acute toxicity of copper and zinc (separately) to white sturgeon and cladoceran (Ceriodaphnia dubia) at varying concentrations of natural dissolved organic carbon (DOC). DOC plays a major role in controlling the bioavailability of dissolved metals and is included in the biotic ligand model (BLM) used to determine the acute water quality criterion (WQC) for copper. Because tests with C. dubia were used to develop and validate the copper BLM, side-by-side tests with these species were used to determine whether DOC had a similar protective effect on both species and whether these effects were accurately predicted by the BLM model.
