TL;DR: In this article, Sertraline was selected as a model SSRI for a 28-d study with adult male fathead minnows and the binding activity of the serotonin reuptake transporter (SERT) was used as an endpoint associated with therapeutic activity.

TL;DR: Results from both acute mortality and subchronic reproduction studies indicated that the model aquatic invertebrate, Daphnia magna, was more sensitive to DPH than the fish model, suggesting that DPH may exert toxicity in Daphnian through ACh and histamine MOAs.

TL;DR: Acute toxicity to fish was completely ameliorated after just 2 h of exposure to full sunlight, highlighting the potential importance of site-specific conditions on the duration of P. parvum impacts to aquatic life.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate whether pH influences P. parvum bloom development and ambient toxicity in Lake Granbury, Texas, USA, and find that higher pH (8.5) allowed bloom formation to occur and resulted in ambient toxicity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the potential limitation by conducting several dye-tracer studies in Lake Granbury (USA) that enabled direct measurement of water exchange rates between the open lake and target coves, which were typically in the range of 0.25-0.30-d−1 during periods of bloom initiation, development and decline.
