Abstract :
[en] It has been shown over the past decade that Brachionids are sensitive to some vertebrate hormones and environmental contaminants with endocrine disrupting properties in vertebrates. Several Brachionus species have been shown to be particularly sensitive to progestagens and anti-androgens. Institutions in charge of the monitoring and the management of the environment, need to constantly update their tools to ensure optimal detection of hazardous chemicals and to achieve adequate protection of the environment. With that intent, we compared the results obtained when testing the androgenic and anti-androgenic activity of substances and surface water samples/effluents with the YAS and anti-YAS tests and by sexual reproduction tests with Brachionus calyciflorus. Respective sensitivities and feasibilities of both these types of tests have been assessed and will be discussed.
