The effects of hydrogen peroxide on mortality, escape response, and oxygen consumption of <i>Calanus</i> spp.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), a pesticide used in salmonid aquaculture, is released directly into the environment where nontarget organisms are at risk of exposure. We determined threshold concentrations for mortality of Calanus spp., the dominant zooplankton species in the North Atlantic, and assessed sublethal effects, focusing on the escape response and oxygen consumption rates (OCRs) as behavioral and physiological assays. One-hour exposure to 170 mg·L −1 (i.e., 10% of the recommended H 2 O 2 treatment) was lethal to copepodite stage V (92% mortality) and adult females (100% mortality). The acute median lethal concentration (1h-LC 50 ) was 214.1 (150.67–277.4) and 48.6 (44.9–52.2) mg·L −1 for copepodite V and adults, respectively. The 25-h LC 50 was 77.1 (57.9–96.2) and 30.63 (25.4–35.8) mg·L −1 for copepodite V and adults, respectively. At concentrations of 0.5% and 1% of the recommended treatment level, Calanus spp. showed a decrease in escape performance and lower OCRs with increased concentration. At H 2 O 2 concentrations of 5% of the recommended treatment levels (85 mg·L −1 ), exposed copepods showed no escape reaction response. These results suggest that sublethal concentrations of H 2 O 2 will increase the risk of predation for Calanus spp. Furthermore, this study provides supporting evidence that theoretical “safe” values, traditionally used for predicting toxicity thresholds, underestimate the impact of H 2 O 2 on the physiological condition of nontarget crustaceans.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
