In the present study, D. magna individuals were exposed to several sublethal prochloraz concentrations (87, 130, 170, 230 and 380 μg/L) for 21 days according to; the previous acute toxicity results. The fungicide effects on reproduction, survival, individual size, and growth population rate were evaluated after an exposure of 21 days, and no changes were observed compared to the control group. On the other hand, F1 generation neonates were collected and their external morphology evaluated; to estimate if the fungicide concentrations used induced effects during oogenesis and; embryogenesis processes. Neonates from parents which were previously exposed to 170 μg/L and higher concentrations were malformed since 16-d of exposure onward. All animals presented the same malformation: asymmetrical shell morphology and separated valves that did not cover the complete animal body regardless of the; concentration. The biochemical parameters tested in the broodstock were cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and LDH activity. At the end of the chronic exposure experiment, cholesterol and triglycerides remained unaltered while glucose and the LDH enzyme levels increased significantly. The results of the present work showed a direct effect of; prochloraz on D. magna individual growth, along with mobilization of some; biochemical intermediate metabolism. A daphnid stress response as a result of the fungicide presence in the medium could be an explanation for the metabolic disorders. On the other hand, the F1 malformed neonates found in the present study suggested an effect of prochloraz among different daphnid generations and more studies would be necessary in this field.
