Abstract

Rotifers due to their relatively short lifespan, high fecundity and high rate of population increase are ideal for chronic toxicity tests. MERCURY is one of the heavy metals highly toxic to aquatic organisms particularly freshwater zooplankton of which rotifers are an important group. In peresent study, population response of ROTIFER BRACHIONUS CALYCIFLORUS to six different concentrations of MERCURY (0.0005, 0.001, 0.002, 0.004, and 0.008 mgL-1) with three replicates per concentration was studied for 12 days. Rotifer density and SPECIFIC GROWTH RATE was calculated daily in the control and treatments containing MERCURY. Result showed that, rotifer population growth decreased significantly (p<0.05) with increasing Hg concentration in the medium. The maximum density in twelve day belongs to control (45.87±0.07 ind/ml) and minimum density belongs to treatments containing concentration of 0.008 mg L-1 MERCURY (6.02±0.03 ind/ml). Also, the rotifer SPECIFIC GROWTH RATE decreased significantly (p<0.05) (from 0.35 in control group to 0.16 in concentration of 0.008 mg L-1) with increasing concentration of this metal. Results of this study showed that rotifers B. calyciflorus are severely sensitive to heavy metal MERCURY.
