MATERIALS AND METHODSD. magna Straus cultures (clone 5 obtained from Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia) were individually held in 150 mL glass beakers containing 100 mL, of HH COMBO medium. The medium was prepared using analytical grade chemicals and Barnstead® Nanopure ultrapure water (Table 1; Baer and Goulden 1998). Medium was stored in the dark at 4 C and warmed in ambient room temperature with vigorous aeration approximately 12 hr prior to use. Cultures were fed live green algae, A. falcatus, at a concentration of 75,000 to 100,000 cells/ml three times weekly. All culturing and testing were performed in a constant temperature bath at 20±2 C with a 16: 8-hr light: dark photoperiod. Fathead minnows (P. promelas) juvenile and embryos/larvae were purchased from Aquatic Biosystems, Inc., Fort Collins, CO and acclimated in dechlorinated tap water for~ 14 days or used immediately. Algal cultures were grown in semicontinuous cultures of HH COMBO or aerated static cultures in ASM medium. Cells were harvested and culture solution replenished to maintain cells in log growth phase.Cadmium chloride and potassium chloride were purchased from Fisher Scientific. All test solutions were prepared in HH COMBO and used immediately in toxicity tests. Cadmium was measured at selected time periods using an air/acetylene-flame atomic absorption Spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer, Model 3030B). The detection limit for this method is approximately 0.050 mg/L. Recoveries of cadmium in test solutions above the detection limit ranged from 85 to 106%.
