Abstract:

AbstractMassive mosquito nuisance problems, caused by the flood-water mosquito Aedes sticticus, occur after floods in the flood plains of the River Dalälven, central Sweden. Since 2002, the biological mosquito larvicide Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) has been used to control these mosquitoes. Here, we report results from the first six years of monitoring Chironomidae, the most susceptible non-target organisms, in three wetlands with Bti-treatment against mosquitoes and in three wetlands without treatment. Emergence traps were used for continuous insect sampling from May to September each year, 2002–2007, and were emptied once a week. A total of 21,394 chironomids of 135 species were collected, and the subfamily Orthocladiinae dominated the fauna followed by Chironominae and Tanypodinae. The annual chironomid production in the wetlands was low, with an average of 1917 individuals per m2, and 42 g ash-free dry weight per m2. We found no reduced production of chironomids at neither family, nor subfamily level, in Bti-treated as compared to untreated wetlands. This is the first long-term follow-up study of the possible effects of Bti-based mosquito larval control on chironomid species production. In the short-term view, one species had higher production in treated areas. In the long-term view, four species had higher and one species had lower production in treated areas. We conclude that the Bti-based control of flood-water mosquitoes does not cause any major direct negative effects on chironomid production, and therefore does not seem to induce any risk for indirect negative effects on birds, bats or any other predators feeding on chironomids.

Abstract:

Dan Region Waste Stabilization Ponds (DRWSP) were first operated in 1970 in a rural area south of Tel-Aviv. In subsequent years, with the massive urbanization of central Israel, residence has expanded within 2 km of the ponds. The ponds were found to be a suitable habitat for non-biting midges Chironomus spp. (Diptera; Chironomidae) larvae, giving birth to billions of adult chironomids per day. Since 1998, evening breezes have been carrying large adult swarms into the adjacent town of Rishon Le-Zion where they become a severe nuisance mainly during the spring and midsummer (April–July). Midges may penetrate human mouths, eyes, and ears, restricting evening activity outdoors. In addition, dead midges create aesthetic problems, demanding frequent cleaning. The combination of intensive urbanization near DRWSP and the improved water quality, that optimized the midges developmental conditions in the ponds, may be blamed for the current situation.

Abstract:

A series of salt lakes near Port Augusta, South Australia, supports large larval populations of Tanytarsus barbitarsis Freeman, a chironomid midge. When adults emerge they often fly to nearby artificial lights, and when large numbers do so a considerable nuisance to local residents is caused. In an investigation designed to provide control advice, those parts of the spectrum of particular attractivity to adults were identified in an experimental study of phototactic responses. Results indicated that the peak of attractivity lies in the near-ultraviolet part of the spectrum (370-400 nm). A second, weaker peak lies between 490 and 510 nm. Light intensity does not appear to be important. Certain sorts of commercially available lamps emit light with peaks in those parts of the spectrum attractive to T. barbitarsis and may be suitable for control purposes.

Abstract:

Mathematical relationships describing the effect of water temperature on embryonic development and generation time for Tanytarsus barbitarsis, a nuisance chironomid from salt lakes near Port Augusta, South Australia, were compared. The aim of the comparison was to determine whether the relation- ship describing egg hatching could be extrapolated to determine the overall development rate of the species. Results indicated that the power function that closely described embryonic development, D(t) = 8712.32t-2.70, could not be fitted to the generation-time data. However, when an additional term, water salinity, was included, a highly significant relationship was derived: D(s,t)*=S4.0308t-4.471. This suggested that laboratory egg-hatching experiments could not account for the attenuating effect of environmental factors on overall development rates in the field.

Abstract:

Chironomid midge larvae are a valuable component of wastewater stabilisation pond (WSP) ecology. However, in high numbers, adult midge swarms can be a nuisance to near-by urban areas. Improving WSP treatment by incorporating aerobic or maturation ponds or by the addition of pre-treatment to reduce organic loading also increases the availability of aerobic sediment (midge larva habitat) in the pond system and the potential for midge nuisance problems. The efficacy of Maldison, an organophosphate traditionally used to control midge larvae in New Zealand WSPs, was compared to Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti), Methoprene, Pyriproxyfen and Diflubenzuron which are all more specific to insects and have fewer adverse environmental effects. Initial laboratory trials established the concentration of each compound required to achieve 95% control of the midge population. During 21-day small-scale trials within the WSP, Bti, Diflubenzuron and Maldison reduced live larvae numbers substantially (80–89%) compared to controls and adult midge emergence was markedly reduced by all compounds (72–96%). Large-scale trials with Bti (Vectobac® WG) powder (1000 μg/L) only caused a slight reduction in midge larvae numbers compared to controls and had little effect on adult emergence, however, Methoprene (Prolink XRG granules) (50 μgAI/L) reduced midge adult emergence by ∼80% over 25 days and has been used successfully to control several midge nuisance outbreaks.

Abstract:

Attached-algae floways have tremendous potential for use in wastewater treatment because natural algal communities show high nutrient removal efficiencies, have low operating costs, and are easy to maintain. Algal wastewater floways may also serve as a sustainable option for producing renewable energy because algae grow rapidly, are easily harvested, and can serve as a source of biomass for biofuel. However, pests such as chironomids (Diptera) colonize open channel periphyton floways and their larvae damage the biofilms. While pesticides can control midge larvae, little information is known about alternative, non-toxic controls. This study examined the effectiveness of periodic, short-term dewatering (4 hours every 9 days) on midge abundance and periphyton growth in 16 recirculating, outdoor floways (3 m long, 0.1 m wide). We compared midge abundance and algal accumulation (chlorophyll a, b, c, and pheophytin) among control (n = 8) and dewatered (n = 8) floways filled with secondarily treated wastewater (27 days, 10 hours of daylight). Dewatered flumes had 42% fewer midges and 28–49% lower algal productivity (as measured by chlorophyll a, b, c, and pheophytin pigments). Chlorophyll a production rates averaged (±1 SD) 0.5 ± 0.2 μg/cm2/day in control floways compared to 0.3 ± 0.1 μg/cm2/day dewatered floways. Short-term dewatering effectively reduced midges but also damaged periphyton. To maximize the recovery of periphyton biomass, operators should harvest periphyton from floways during dewatering events before periphyton is damaged by desiccation or direct exposure to sunlight.

Abstract:

SynopsisIn experiments lakes 223 (L223) and 302 South (L302S) in the Experimental Lakes Area in north-western Ontario, and Little Rock Lake (LRL) in northern Wisconsin, were progressively acidified with sulphuric acid from original pH values of 6.1–6.8 to 4.7–5.1. Although the lakes were at different locations with different physical settings and assemblages of plants and animals including fish, there were remarkable similarities in their responses, particularly in regard to biogeochemical processes and effects on biota at lower trophic levels.All three lakes generated an important part of their buffering capacity internally b\ the reduction of sulphate, and to a lesser extent by the reduction of nitrate. Alkalinity production increased as concentrations of biologically-active strong acid anions increased. Models relating the residence times of sulphate and nitrate to water renewal, or first-order kinetics, effectively predicted events.Acidification disrupted nitrogen cycling in all three lakes. Nitrification was inhibited in L223 and L302S, while in LRL, nitrogen fixation was greatly decreased at low pH.The phytoplankton communities of all three lakes were originally dominated by chrysophyceans and cryptophyceans. However acidification changed the dominant species and decreased diversity. Acidification tended to increase phytoplankton production and standing crop slightly, probably because light penetration was increased.Littoral zones of all three lakes became increasingly dominated by a few species of filamentous green algae, which created nuisance blooms by pH 5.6. Mats or clouds of algae changed the entire character of the littoral zone.Acidification of L223 and L302S caused the loss of several species of large benthic crustaceans as pH changed from 6 to 5.6. Large, acid-sensitive littoral crustaceans were absent from LRL before acidification, probably because the lake was already too acidic.As acidity increased, the dominance of cladocerans within zooplankton communities increased. Daphnia catawba appeared at pH values near 5.6 and became more abundant at lower pHs as the lakes were acidified. Its appearance coincided with a decline in other Daphnia species: another cladoceran, Bosmina longirostris, increased in the experimentally-acidified lakes as did Keratella taurocephala: they became the dominant rotifers. Several sensitive zooplankton species declined or disappeared as the lakes were acidified, most notably Daphnia galeata mendotae, Epischura lacustris, Diaptomus sicilis and Keratella cochlearis.The responses of different fish varied; they appeared to depend on the sensitivity of key organisms in the food chain. The ability of key fish species to reproduce was impaired as early as pH 5.8; their reproduction, except for yellow perch in LRL, had ceased at pH 5.0 in all the three lakes.Acidification consistently reduced the diversity and richness of species in taxonomic groups studied, these effects resulting from losses of species and the increased dominance of a few acidophilic taxa.Responses of experimentally-acidified lakes in north-western Ontario and atmospherically-acidified lakes in eastern Ontario were similar in most respects where records allowed comparisons to be made, notably in relation to biogeochemical processes and the disappearance of acid-sensitive biota.When the acidification of L223 was reversed, several biotic components recovered quickly. Fish resumed reproduction at pHs similar to those at which it ceased when the lake was being acidified. The condition of lake trout improved as a result of greatly increased populations of small fish, their prey. Many species of insects and crustaceans that had been extirpated by acidification returned. Assemblages of phytoplankton and chironomids have retained an acidophilic character, although their diversity during recovery is similar to that at comparable pHs during progressive acidification. As their chemistry recovered, atmospherically-acidified lakes in the Sudbury area were able to sustain recruitment by species offish, including lake trout and white sucker, with rapid increases in the diversity of invertebrate taxa. Results from both L223 and lakes near Sudbury suggest a rapid partial recovery of lacustrine communities when acidification is reversed.It is concluded that the experimental lakes responded similarly to acidification, and that experimental acidification can reliably indicate the effects of acidification attributable to acidic precipitation.
