The effect of composition on the biodegradability and toxicity

The effect of composition on the biodegradability and toxicity of drilling muds used at ologbo active onshore field, Edo State, Nigeria

The effect of composition on the biodegradability and toxicity of two muds commonly used at onshore oil fields at Ologbo, Edo State were examined. Biodegradation of drill muds by two bacterial and fungal isolates; Enterobacter aerogenes, Micrococcus sp., Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. were carried in a shake flask experiment using mineral salts medium at 120 rpm for 28 days. The total viable counts were monitored and ultimate biodegradability was derived from the ratio of COD and BOD5, after every four days. Lethal effects of the drilling muds on juvenile Tilapia guineensis, Micrococcus sp. and Penicillium sp. were investigated using static renewal bioassay for 96 hr and 24 hr. The Potassium chloride (KCl) polymer water based mud (WBM) was more biodegradable than synthetic based mud (SBM). This was indicated by the highest total viable counts recorded in consortium amended with water based mud (101 �10 3 cfu/ml), and also recording the lowest chemical oxygen demand and biological oxygen demand (47 mg/l and 0.4 mg/l respectively).There were no significant differences (P > 0.05) in the degradation of the muds by the isolates. The 96 hr LC 50 of potassium chloride (KCl) polymer water based mud and synthetic based mud (SBM) were 8125 mg/l and 5800 mg/l for Tilapia guineensis respectively. The 24 hr LC50 of Potassium Chloride polymer water based mud was 200 mg/l for Micrococcus sp. and Penicillium sp. Exploration and production companies operating in Ologbo should be encouraged to put into consideration the effect composition of the drilling muds before usage.

Investigate of accumulation the heavy metals Cd, Pb, and Zn in liver and muscle tissues

Investigate of accumulation the heavy metals Cd, Pb, and Zn in liver and muscle tissues Capoeta trutta fish from Dez River, southwest Iran 

1. Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations were determined in muscle and liver of  Capoeta trutta  collected from northern Khuzestan province from Dez River (southwest of Iran) during March, 2012. Heavy metal concentrations varied significantly  depending  on  the  type  of  the  tissue.  Generally,  showed  the  lowest  levels  of  Cd  and  Pb  and  Zn metals  in  muscle  tissues.  Significant  differences  were  observed  in  the  concentrations  of  Pb  and  Zn,  but nosignificant differences  were observed  between the  concentration of  Cd  in muscle tissue  and the liver.  It was concluded  that  the  level  of  Zn  heavy  metals  in  muscles  and  liver  of  the  fish  were  within  acceptable  limits  by WHO  standards  but  concentration  of  Cd  and  Pb  higher  than  acceptable  limits  by  WHO  standard.  The  main reason for pollution entering the agricultural and domestic effluents to the river.

Spatial and circadian variation of aquatic insect communities in three tropical fish ponds (Natiokobadara, Korhogo, Northern Côte d’Ivoire)

We analysed aquatic insect distribution and their circadian variation in tropical fish ponds in a piscicultural farm
used for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture near Natiokobadara locality  in the Northern Côte d’Ivoire. Among  ponds  of  this  farm,  three  were  selected:  a  pond  (D4)  without  fish,  a  pond  (A3)  stocking  with  7500 fingerlings and pond (T12) of reproducers containing 680 parents.  In each pond, aquatic insect samplings were undertaken every 04 hours during 24 hours in the three selected fish ponds during two cycles. Besides, ordinary samplings were done during the sampling period (July-August 2001). Overall, 25 taxa belonging to 15 families and  seven  orders  were  recorded.  The  pond  without  fish  (D4)  contained  the  higher  aquatic  insect  richness. Heteropterans  and  dipterans  were  the  mostly  abundant  and  diverse  groups.  Their  predominance  was  due  to respectively Anisops sardea  and Chaoborus anomalus. According the circadian variation of these two main taxa, it  is  likely  that  assemblages  of  these  two  main  taxa  are  rather  shaped  by  biotic  factors  such  competition.  The circadian variation of all aquatic insects collected showed that the maximum of insects was registered in daytime in the pond without fish (D4) whereas in the two others ponds (A3, T12) containing fishes the highest abundance of  insects  was  obtained  during  night.  The  risk-of-predation  hypothesis  implies  aquatic  insects  in  ponds containing fish exhibit predominately during night
