Terminology3.1 The word
15、s “must,” “should,” “may,” “can,” and “might”have very specific meanings in this practice. “Must” is used toexpress an absolute requirement, that is, to state that the testought to be designed to satisfy the specific condition, unless thepurpose of the test requires a different design. “Must” is onl
16、yused in connection with factors that directly relate to theacceptability of the test (see Section 17). “Should” is used tostate that the specified condition is recommended and ought tobe met in most tests. Although a violation of one “should” israrely a serious matter, violation of several will oft
17、en render theresults questionable. Terms such as “is desirable,” “is oftendesirable,” and “might be desirable” are used in connectionwith less important factors. “May” is used to mean “is (are)allowed to,” “can” is used to mean “is (are) able to,” and“might” is used to mean “could possibly.” Thus, t
18、he classicdistinction between “may” and “can” is preserved, and “might”is never used as a synonym for either “may” or “can.”3.2 For definitions of other terms used in this practice, referto Guide E729, Terminology E943, and Guide E1023. For anexplanation of units and symbols, refer to IEEE/SI 10.3.3
19、 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.3.1 algal biovolume, nan estimate of the total volume ofalgal cells (1043/mL) (see 14.1.10).3.3.2 available algae, nan estimate of the volume of algae(1043/mL) presumed available to the Daphnia (see 14.1.10).3.3.2.1 DiscussionThe estimate is calculat
20、ed from thenumerical abundance of each species of algae, its nominalvolume, and an availability factor based on its size and growthcharacteristics (see 14.1.10). Small algal cells are presumed100 % available and large, filamentous forms are presumed 1to 20 % available. Species that attach to sedimen
21、t or walls arepresumed to be less available than planktonic forms.3.3.3 axenic, adja culture of organisms growing withoutneighbors, that is, pure culture free from contaminant organ-isms (see gnotobiotic (12)3).3.3.4 community metabolism, nthe oxygen or carbon bal-ance of the entire community.3.3.4.
22、1 DiscussionIn this microcosm, community metabo-lism is estimated by the gain in oxygen during the lightedperiod (an estimate of net photosynthesisP) and the loss ofoxygen during the dark period (an estimate of respirationR).When expressed as a P/R ratio, a value of 1 indicates thatautotrophic proce
23、sses are dominant; a value of 1.8 mm), three large with eggs, three without eggs, and tensmall (0.7 mm); 12 amphipods (six adults and six small), andsix ostracods.11.2.4 Stock CulturesStock cultures should be maintainedfor reinoculation during the test (11.6).11.3 Culling and AssignmentOn Day 7, the
24、 necessarynumber of microcosms should be selected for the test. Anymicrocosms in cracked jars should be eliminated becausecracks tend to grow and leak. Data through Day 7 on thefollowing measurements (see 12.5) should be used to deter-mine culls: change in dissolved oxygen from a.m. to p.m., pH,numb
25、er of Daphnia, the number of Selenastrum andChlamydomonas, and the dominant algae early in microcosmdevelopment. The necessary number of test systems with theleast variation from one another in these measurements shouldbe saved and the others discarded or used for other purposes(for example, as amph
26、ipod and ostracod cultures).11.3.1 Treatment AssignmentThe selected microcosmsshould be numbered and a random number table used to assigneach microcosm to a treatment and to a position separately onthe light table (Fig. 1). For table position the microcosms areassigned to 6 blocks, and randomly assi
27、gned to each. Treat-ments must be randomly assigned to individual test chamberlocations. A randomized block design (with each treatmentbeing present in each block, which may be a row or arectangle) is preferable to a completely randomized design.Microcosms are then numbered consecutively as in Fig.
28、1.NOTE 3Microcosms that crack while the experiment is in progressmay be transferred to new sterile containers after a thorough scraping.Occasionally this give rise to outliers; examination of the data determinestheir eventual inclusion or exclusion.11.4 Addition of Test Material:TABLE 6 Medium T85MV

34、ed onDay 7 after treatment assignment. Each microcosm should bestirred with a glass rod after test chemical or solvent, or both,are added.11.4.2 Multiple AdditionThe test material may be addedbiweekly or weekly after sampling. The volume of eachmicrocosm should be measured again before test material
35、addition and the addition calculated to provide the appropriateconcentration. If residual test material in the microcosm is tobe measured, the samples should be removed prior to the newaddition. It is recommended that medium T82MV not be addedto compensate for sample removal, any medium additionwoul
36、d serve as a source of nutrients and eliminate the need fornutrient recycling to occur for continued photosynthesis.However, medium addition may be necessary if large samplesmust be removed for test chemical analyses (See 11.5.6.2(e)Distilled water is not added because it could cause osmoticimbalanc
37、es.11.5 Measurements:NOTE 4Each task should be assigned to a person. All data should bewritten on computer data sheets as they are collected Microcosms shouldbe grouped by treatments on the data sheets. When a microcosm breaks ordata are missing for a measurement, an entry should still be made thati
38、ncludes experiment designation, subcode, microcosm number and testday number, and the data portion left blank.NOTE 5Separate probes, and other equipment (containers, scrapers,stirrers, and syringes) should be used for each treatment. It is recom-mended that where possible all sampling devices be aut
39、oclaved orotherwise sterilized prior to the beginning of each test. Although aseptictechniques are not required for most of the sampling procedures, careshould be exercised to avoid contamination with other organisms; forexample, none of the sampling devices should be used with lake orsediment sampl
40、es. Care should be taken so that mixing of even smallamounts of test and control microcosms is avoided.11.5.1 Sampling FrequencySampling and measurement oforganism abundances and physical factors should be donetwice each week until the end of the test, usually Day 63.Measurements should be done on t
41、he same test day for eachtest if it is desirable to compare data between tests. Tuesdaysand Fridays are the most convenient days because the first twooxygen measurements (of the 3-point method) can be takenMonday and Thursday; thus, no weekend work is required onthis schedule.11.5.2 TurbidityPrior t
42、o dissolved oxygen determinations,approximately 5 mL should be withdrawn from each unstirredmicrocosm for measurement of turbidity. If the instrument doesnot provide a digital output of absorbance, t, the percenttransmittance should be recorded, and converted to opticaldensity during the computerize
43、d data processing (14.1.7).11.5.3 VolumeAn external calibrated rod may be used toestimate volume. A30-cm rod may be calibrated to a samplemicrocosm jar containing 200 g of microcosm sediment sandand 500 mL of medium or water. The first gradation is markednext to the liquid level and designated 500 m
44、L.Aliquots of 100mL of water are added and the stick marked each time until3500 mL is reached. On sampling days, volume can bemeasured by holding the calibrated rod against a microcosmand noting on a data sheet which gradation is closest to themicrocosm water level.11.5.4 Dissolved OxygenDissolved o
45、xygen concentra-tions should be measured 3 times: before lights-on (8:00 to9:00 a.m.) and late afternoon (4:00 to 5:30 p.m.) before asampling day, and the predawn before sampling (8:00 to 9:00a.m.). Separate probes, marked with tape or symbol should beused for each test material. They are calibrated
46、 and stored inthe mouth of reagent bottles, unplugged from the meter. Foruse, probes should be plugged into the meter, standardized andreadings taken. If the test involves a control group and morethan one concentration of a test material, all replicates with testmaterial are read using the same prob
47、e, the group with thelowest concentration of test material being measured first. Theprobe is rinsed with distilled water between groups. Controlreplicates are always measured only with the control probe.The a.m. measurements are taken before the lights are on usinga flashlight to observe meter readi
48、ngs and microcosms. Thep.m. measurements are taken late in the afternoon aftermaximum photosynthetic activity has been achieved. Dis-solved oxygen is measured while moving the probe in acircular motion. A self-stirring probe may be used.11.5.5 pHpH values should be measured before lights-oneach samp
49、ling day. Separate probes are used for the control andtreatments, as specified for dissolved oxygen probes.11.5.6 Sampling.11.5.6.1 Method of MixingThe sides and bottom of themicrocosm jars should be scraped as completely as possibleand stirred vigorously with a prerinsed and autoclaved rubberscrapper (rubber policeman, see Fig. 5) attached to a glass rod.11.5.6.2 Sampling and Organism Enumeration:(1) Counts of Daphnia, Amphipods and OstracodsAvisual count of the larger organisms in the entire microcosm isperformed before sample removal if th
