| Abstract | In this study, the toxicities of sodium and potassium to the tropical freshwater cladoceran Pseudosida ramosa were assessed. Acute toxicity tests on this species showed that the 48-h $LC_{50}$ of $Na^{+}$ was $556 mg l^{−1},$ while that of $K^{+}$ was $17.7 mg l^{−1}.$ Long-term exposure of female P. ramosa to sodium reduced the total number of survivors from 10 to 6 at a concentration of $249 mg l^{−1},$ 21-day fecundity from 20.4 to 14.3 eggs $female^{−1}$ at concentrations ranging from 72 to $249 mg l^{−1},$ 21-day fertility from 20.1 to 6.5 neonates $female^{−1}$ at concentrations ranging from 25 to $249 mg l^{−1}.$ Furthermore, fecundity of each brood from the second to the fifth was significantly lower at $249 mg l^{−1}$ and fertility of each brood from the first to the fifth at concentrations ranging from 25 to $249 mg l^{−1}.$ A significant decrease in fertility was associated with an increase in the number of aborted eggs. Long-term exposure to potassium decreased the 21-day fecundity of P. ramosa from 14.2 to 10.8 eggs $female^{−1}$ at a concentration of $11 mg l^{−1}$ and fertility (fourth brood only) at 6.2 and $11 mg l^{−1}.$ Tropical reservoirs located near areas where the soil is overloaded with fertilizers and ferti-irrigation with vinasse already show concentrations of $Na^{+}$ and $K^{+}$ very close to those producing sub-lethal long-term effects on P. ramosa. A possible consequence is that organisms of the aquatic biota cannot adapt and freshwater taxa may become locally extinct, transferring dominance to salt-tolerant taxa. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
