Abstract
In this study, Unio terminalis was exposed to 25%, 50% and 100% of its 96 h LC50 value of copper over 96 hours after determining the 96 h LC50 value for this metal. The 96 h LC50 value of copper to this species was determined as 4.65 ppm Cu and hence the species was exposed to 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 ppm Cu for 96 hours. Tissue analysis of copper was carried out using ICP-MS techniques. Total body accumulation of copper were 56 μg Cu/g d.w., 77μg Cu/g d.w. and 28μg Cu/g d.w. for 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 ppm Cu exposures respectively after 96 hours. Copper levels were significantly higher in animals exposed to copper compared with the control. Accumulation of copper, however, was lower at the highest Cu concentration tested compared the lower concentrations.
