Evidence of sublethal damage in Daphnia (Cladocera) during exposure to solar UV radiation in subarctic ponds / Iris D. Zellmer ... [et al.].: En13-5/03-183E-PDF

"Daphnia was collected from five subarctic ponds which differed greatly in their DOC contents and, consequently, their underwater light (UV) climates. Irrespective of which Daphnia species was present, and contrary to expectations, the ponds with the lowest DOC concentrations (highest UV radiation levels) contained Daphnia with the highest eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) concentrations. In addition, EPA concentrations in these Daphnia generally decreased in concert with seasonally increasing DOC concentrations"--Abstract.
