A Probabilistic Risk Assessment of the Effects of Methylmercury on Great Egrets and Bald Eagles Foraging at a Constructed Wetland in South Florida Relative to the Everglades
Title
A Probabilistic Risk Assessment of the Effects of Methylmercury on Great Egrets and Bald Eagles Foraging at a Constructed Wetland in South Florida Relative to the Everglades.
Creator
Rumbold, Darren
Abstract / Description
This case study summarizes an assessment of risk of methylmercury (MeHg) exposure to fish–eating birds foraging at Stormwater Treatment Area–2 (STA–2). This assessment was required as a special condition for a permit modification authorizing flow–through operation of STA–2 Cell 1 without it first satisfying formal mercury start–up criteria. The assessment estimates the risks posed by MeHg to the great egret (Ardea albus) and the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). Exposure models were...
Show moreThis case study summarizes an assessment of risk of methylmercury (MeHg) exposure to fish–eating birds foraging at Stormwater Treatment Area–2 (STA–2). This assessment was required as a special condition for a permit modification authorizing flow–through operation of STA–2 Cell 1 without it first satisfying formal mercury start–up criteria. The assessment estimates the risks posed by MeHg to the great egret (Ardea albus) and the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). Exposure models were based on literature–derived life history parameters combined with site–specific MeHg concentrations in water, sediment, and fish. To assess risk, daily MeHg intake by females and cumulative MeHg consumed by nestlings were compared to literature–derived effects thresholds. The results indicated the likelihood was low that MeHg exposures to birds foraging throughout STA–2 would exceed effects thresholds at the time of this assessment. Birds foraging exclusively from Cell 1 or the small discharge canal were predicted to experience greater exposures and could be at potential risk. However, this worst–case risk was comparable or lower than risk levels encountered in nearby water conservation areas or the Everglades National Park.

Acute response of the estuarine crab Eurypanopeus depressus to salinity and desiccation stress
Title
Acute response of the estuarine crab Eurypanopeus depressus to salinity and desiccation stress.
Creator
Tolley, Gregory, Van Horn, Julie
Abstract / Description
Hemolymph osmolality changes following exposure to abrupt salinity change in the range of 5–40 ppt (T 5 26uC, full air saturation) and upon exposure to air (T 5 23uC, r.h. 5 30%) were investigated in the flatback mud crab Eurypanopeus depressus (Smith, 1869), a dominant species on oyster reefs in Southwest Florida. During salinity trials, hemolymph osmolality of E. depressus ranged from 751 6 123 mOsmol kg21 at 5 ppt (214 6 32 mOsmol kg21) to 1188 6 81 mOsmol kg21 at 40 ppt (1188 6 29 mOsmol...
Show moreHemolymph osmolality changes following exposure to abrupt salinity change in the range of 5–40 ppt (T 5 26uC, full air saturation) and upon exposure to air (T 5 23uC, r.h. 5 30%) were investigated in the flatback mud crab Eurypanopeus depressus (Smith, 1869), a dominant species on oyster reefs in Southwest Florida. During salinity trials, hemolymph osmolality of E. depressus ranged from 751 6 123 mOsmol kg21 at 5 ppt (214 6 32 mOsmol kg21) to 1188 6 81 mOsmol kg21 at 40 ppt (1188 6 29 mOsmol kg21). In the salinity range of 5–15 ppt E. depressus exhibited a hyperosmotic pattern of osmoregulation while at 30 and 40 ppt it conformed. In all cases stable hemolymph osmotic concentration was reached in less than 24 h. During desiccation trials, hemolymph osmolality of E. depressus ranged from 971 6 121 mOsmol kg21 for unexposed crabs to 1132 6 169 mOsmol kg21 after 90 min of exposure. The information obtained from this study adds to knowledge of crustacean stress physiology and may give a clearer picture of the important factors involved in population distribution and the consequences of multiple stressors that may affect the crabs or their oyster-reef habitat.
