Minimal concentrations of oxygen are limiting factors for limnic biocenoses. It should therefore be possible to use biocenose structure to infer minimal oxygen concentrations that have occured, provided the tolerance of the organisms concerned is known. A simple apparatus used to measure LC50 of oxygen for aquatic insect larvae with tracheal gills is described. Lethal concentrations found in some Ephemeroptera differ between species. Usually, they are strongly temperature dependent. In the species so far studied, confidence intervals are very small and suggest that such insect larvae could be used as bioindicators of minimal oxygen concentrations (even of short term ones), especially in thermically stable waters. |
