Sulfate is increasingly found in elevated concentrations in freshwater ecosystems due to anthropogenic activities. Chronic exposure to sulfate has been reported to cause sublethal effects on freshwater invertebrates. Previous sulfate toxicity tests have mostly been conducted in hard or moderately hard waters, and research on species inhabiting soft water is needed, given that freshwater organisms face heightened sensitivity to toxicants in water of lower hardness. In the present study, we examined sulfate sensitivity of two endangered freshwater mussel species, Unio crassus, and Margaritifera margaritifera. Glochidia and juveniles of both species were subjected to acute and/or chronic sulfate exposures in soft water to compare sulfate sensitivity across age groups, and effective concentrations (EC)/lethal concentrations (LC) values were estimated. Mussels were individually exposed to allow relatively larger numbers of replicates per treatment. Chronic sulfate exposure significantly reduced growth, foot movement, and relative water content (RWC) in juvenile mussels of M. margaritifera. Mussels at younger stages were not necessarily more sensitive to sulfate. In the acute tests, LC50 of glochidia of M. margaritifera and U. crassus was 1301 and 857 mg/L, respectively. Chronic LC10 was 843 mg/L for 3-week-old U. crassus juveniles, 1051 mg/L for 7-week-old M. margaritifera juveniles, and 683 mg/L for 2-year-old M. margaritifera juveniles. True chronic Lowest Effective Concentration for 7-week-old M. margaritifera may be within the 95% interval of EC10 based on RWC (EC10 = 446 mg/L, 95%CI = 265–626 mg/L). Our study contributed to the understanding of sulfate toxicity to endangered freshwater mussel species in soft water.

Sulfate sensitivity of aquatic organism in soft freshwaters explored by toxicity tests and species sensitivity distribution
Karjalainen, Juha; Hu, Xiaoxuan; Mäkinen, Mikko; Karjalainen, Anna; Järvistö, Johanna; Järvenpää, Kaisa; Sepponen, Minna; Leppänen, Matti T. (Elsevier BV, 2023)Elevated concentrations of sulfate in waterways are observed due to various anthropogenic activities. Elevated levels of sulfate can have harmful effects on aquatic life in freshwaters: sulfate can cause osmotic stress or ... -
Chronic toxicity of sodium sulphate to two age groups of freshwater pearl mussels Margaritifera margaritifera
Hu, Xiaoxuan (2022)Sulfaatti on luonnossa esiintyvä anioni, jonka pitoisuudet ovat ihmistoiminnasta johtuen paikoittain korkeat. Pitkäaikaiset altistuskokeet ovat osoittaneet, että suurina pitoisuuksina sulfaatti vähentää makean veden eliöiden ... -
Growth and longevity of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) : Implications for conservation and management
Nykänen, Sabrina; Taskinen, Jouni; Hajisafarali, Mahsa; Kuparinen, Anna (Wiley, 2024)Key life-history data, such as growth and age, are necessary to effectively manage and conserve threatened freshwater mussel species. Traditionally growth and age studies require large yet destructive sample sizes covering ... -
Effect of primary dietary sources and environmental variables on the condition of freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) populations
Nykänen, Sabrina (2021)Earlier studies have suggested effect of land use on freshwater pearl mussel (FPM) via the detrimental impact of siltation on juvenile mussels, but little is known about its effects through the changes in food quality. ... -
Effect of substrate particle size on burrowing of the juvenile freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera
Hyvärinen, Heini; Saarinen-Valta, Mari; Mäenpää, Eero; Taskinen, Jouni (Springer, 2021)Juveniles of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (FPM, Margaritifera margaritifera) live burrowed in stream substrate for the first years of their life. Fine sediments block water exchange within substrate and may cause ...
