Abstract

Abstract: Chironomus larvae, an especially abundant benthic invertebrate assemblage in heavily polluted
urban rivers in Shanghai was collected from the water body and exposed to water and sediments that artificially enriched with a range of lead (Pb) concentrations. The Chironomus larvae showed a strong ability to tolerant Pb²⁺ toxicity so that the acute toxicity values was 48 h LC50 3.8 g/L. Bioaccumulation of Pb²⁺ by the Chironomus larvae increased with the increasing concentration of Pb²⁺.The maximum bioaccumulation observed in this study was 3.76 mg/g larva, occurring under water Pb²⁺ concentration of 100 mg/L. Toxicological response of Pb²⁺ for Chironomus larvae was evaluated by two biomarkers, the metalloenzymes linked superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the metallothionein (MT). Both biomarkers reached peak values with the exposure time, except for the drastic fluctuation in SOD activity at 500 mg/kg sediments Pb²⁺ concentration. The food chain transfer of Pb²⁺ from the Chironomus larvae to freshwater farmed fish. Crucian carp (Carassius Carassius L) was investigated by feeding carps with lead-contaminated Chironomus larvae. The concentrations of tissue Pb in carp were significantly elevated above the control levels after Chironomus feeding 9 days. This study helps understand the Chironomus larva toxicological response and bioaccumulation for metal Pb(Ⅱ).

Key words: Chironomus larvae, lead (Pb) pollution, lead accumulation, metallothionein(MT), superoxide dismutase (SOD)
