Continuous monitoring of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in raw water is highly desirable for taste and odour management, but in most treatment plants this capacity is lacking. We used a bbe©Daphnia toximeter installed in the Zurich water treatment plant to determine if Daphnia magna could be used to monitor odour compounds in source-water. Trace levels of two widely distributed biogenic VOCs in freshwater: β-cyclocitral and 2(E),4(E),7(Z)-decatrienal were added to the raw water inflow to chambers containing test animals and their behaviour was recorded using a high resolution camera. We observed that each compound elicited a marked short-term increase in Daphnia swimming velocity, but the effect was brief and an acclimation to the compounds was observed after a time period or with repeated additions. The results demonstrate that the toximeter has considerable potential as a tool to monitor certain VOCs in water, and that Daphnia perceive and react to 2(E),4(E),7(Z)-decatrienal and β-cyclocitral at concentrations between 2.5 and 25 μM
