Abstract

The work is devoted to the consideration of the peculiarities of the impact of manganese (II) on representatives of freshwater biota. Manganese plays an important role in the aquatic environment, since it determines the course of the most important metabolic processes in hydrobiont organisms of varying degrees of organization. The analysis of processes involving manganese has shown that the main chemical factors affecting the accumulation of manganese in the aquatic environment are anaerobic biochemical processes caused by active silting of the riverbed due to the washout of organic substances from agricultural fields. The use of various physiological endpoints in daphnids is considered as an inexpensive and simple alternative, the criterion of which corresponds to the rule “replacement, reduction, refinement”. It has been shown that manganese (II) ions in the concentration range of 0.1-1000 LOCvr do not have an acute toxic effect on D. magna crustaceans, chronic toxicity is manifested in samples with concentrations of more than 10 LOCvr. The acute toxicity of solutions of manganese (II) salts in relation to S. Quadricauda was revealed by the change in the fluorescence level of microalgae at a concentration of Mn2+ from 0.05 mg/l.
