An application of different bioindicators for assessing water quality: A case study in the rivers Alfeios and Pineios (Peloponnisos, Greece)

A number of bioindicators and biotic indices and scores based on benthic macroinvertebrates, diatoms, fishes, aquatic and riparian vegetation in relation to physicochemical parameters have been applied in assessing the water quality of the rivers Alfeios and Pineios (Peloponnisos, Greece). According to the findings, the water quality in both rivers varied from very poor to very good. Among the bioindicators used, the benthic macroinvertebrates seem to be the most reliable. The BBI and IBE were the most applicable indexes while the applicability of the IBMWP and IASPT in the Greek region can be enforced with the inclusion of the Diptreran family Rhagionidae and the Coleopteran family Elminthidae. © 2003 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd

Pharmacokinetics of cephalexin in sea bream, Sparus aurata (L.), after a single intraperitoneal injection

The pharmacokinetic properties of cephalexin were studied in sea bream (mean weight 77 g), Sparus aurata (L.) after a single intraperitoneal injection (200 mg kg(-1)). Pharmacokinetic analysis of the serum concentrations vs time points obtained was performed using non-compartmental analysis and a compartmental pharmacokinetic model approach. In the latter case, a two-compartment open model with a lag time gave the best fitting. The maximum peak serum concentration was 5.018 mg ml(-1) kg(-1) 1 h post-treatment. The area under the curve (AUC) cephalexin was 17.394 mg.h kg(-1) and the elimination half-life of 1.83 h
