Abstract:
Species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) are commonly used in risk assessment and in setting water quality guidelines, yet their predictions have not been validated against loss of species with increasing pollutant concentrations in nature. We used a rapid toxicity testing method to determine the acute salinity tolerance (72 h LC50 values (concentration of salinity lethal to 50% of individuals)) of 110 macroinvertebrate taxa from the southern Murray–Darling Basin in central Victoria, Australia, and construct an SSD. This SSD was compared with loss of riverine macro invertebrates species from i

Abstract:
Estimation of species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) is a crucial approach to predicting ecological risks and water quality benchmarks, but the amount of data required to implement this approach is a serious constraint on the application of SSDs to chemicals for which there are few or no toxicity data. The development of statistical models to directly estimate the mean and standard deviation (SD) of the logarithms of log-normally distributed SSDs has recently been proposed to overcome this problem. To predict these two parameters, we developed multiple linear regression models that included,

Abstract:
Natural and artificial heavy metal exposure to the environment requires finding thresholds to protect aquatic ecosystems from the toxicity of heavy metals. The threshold is commonly called a predicted no effect concentration (PNEC) and is thought to protect most organisms in an ecosystem from a chemical. PNEC is derived by applying a large assessment factor (AF) to the toxicity value of the most sensitive organism to a chemical or by developing a species sensitivity distribution (SSD), which is a cumulative distribution function with many toxicity data for a chemical of diverse organisms.

Abstract:
Uncertainty is pervasive in risk assessment. In ecotoxicological risk assessments, it arises from such sources as a lack of data, the simplification and abstraction of complex situations, and ambiguities in assessment endpoints (Burgman 2005; Suter 1993). When evaluating and managing risks, uncertainty needs to be explicitly considered in order to avoid erroneous decisions and to be able to make statements about the confidence that we can place in risk estimates. Although informative, previous approaches to dealing with uncertainty in ecotoxicological modelling have been found to b

The most commonly used endpoints for ecotoxicity testing and thus to generate data for use in SSDs are on the whole-organismal level, and usually include the evaluation of survival and reproduction. However, suborganismal biomarker responses are in many instances more sensitive than these whole-organismal responses. Therefore, this study investigated and co
