Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the effects of different concentrations of fenhexamid (0.1, 1, and 10 mg L-1) on growth, oxidative stress, protein, glycogen, and metallothionein (NIT) contents in Tubifex tubifex after an exposure of 2, 4, and 7 days. In addition, residues of the fungicide were followed in water and in the worms. In water, fenhexamid concentration decreased slowly (maximum - 2 +/- 0.03% after 2 days for 1 mg L-1). In the worms, it increased after 4 days and decreased thereafter, confirming that the worms were exposed to the fungicide and not to a degradation product. LC50 values were between 95.22 +/- 5.36 and 32.11 +/- 1.8 ma L-1 depending on exposure time. Exposure to fenhexamid had a negative effect on T. tubifix growth (maximum effect -12.2 +/- 0.8% after 7 days with 10 mg L-1) demonstrating the toxic effect of the pesticide. This growth rate decrease was accompanied by a reduction in protein and glycogen contents. The activity of catalase (CAT), and glutathione reductase (GR) increased in response to the fungicide demonstrating an oxidative stress in the worms. In contrast glutathion-S-transferase activity (GST) decreased. Exposure to fenhexamid also induced synthesis of NIT (maximum +78 +/- 8% after 2 days for 10 mg L-1). The specificity of MT concentration increase in response to metals is discussed. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
