Description:
In response to nuisance growths of algae and vascularplants, such as dioecious hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillataL.f.Royle), copper formulations have been applied in lakes andreservoirs for a number of years. Concerns have arisen regardingthe long-term consequences of copper applicationsand those concerns have appropriately focused on sedimentresidues. In this study, we evaluated the toxicity of sedimentsfrom treated (for a decade) and untreated areas in LakeMurray, South Carolina and estimated the capacity of thosesediments to bind additional copper. Two sentinel aquatic invertebrates,Hyalella aztecaSaussure andCeriodaphnia dubiaRichard, were used to measure residual toxicity of treatedand untreated sediments from the field and after laboratoryamendments.
