Ecotoxicological evaluation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons using marine invertebrate embryo–larval bioassays

The toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was determined using mussel, sea-urchin and ascidian embryo–larval bioassays. Fluorescent light exposure enhanced phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene and hydroxypyrene toxicity in comparison with dark conditions, but not naphthalene and fluorene toxicity. The toxicity of PAHs was inversely related to their K_OW values following QSAR models derived for baseline toxicity of general narcotics, whereas the obtained regression using toxicity data from photoactivated PAHs significantly departed from the general narcosis model. Also, the mixture toxicity of five PAHs to the larval growth of the sea-urchin was compared with predictions derived from the concentration addition concept, indicating less than additive effects. Finally, we compared our toxicity data with worst-case environmental concentrations in order to provide a preliminary estimate of the risk to the marine environment. Naphthalene, fluorene and pyrene are not considered to pose a risk to sea-urchin, mussel or ascidian larvae, whilst phenanthrene and fluoranthene may pose a risk for mussel and sea-urchin. Moreover, a higher risk for those species is expected when we consider the photoactivation of the PAHs.     

南海原油和燃料油对仔虾和仔鱼的急性毒性试验

测定了南海原油、0号柴油和20号柴油对斑节对虾Penaeusmonodon、日本对虾Penaeusjoponicus、刀额新对虾Metapenaeusensis3种仔虾和黄鳍鲷和Sparuslatus、黑鲷Sparusmacrocephalus、前鳞鲻MugilOphuyseni和七星鲈Lateolabraxjaponicus4种仔鱼的急性毒性。油类对仔虾和仔鱼的毒性大小顺序均为：0号柴油＞20号柴油＞南海原油。油类分散液的毒性大于其水溶性组分。在曝油的3种仔虾中,刀额新对虾对0号柴油和20号柴油的耐受力最弱,而日本对虾对南海原油最为敏感。曝油仔鱼对3种油类的耐受力顺序为：黄鳍绸＞黑鲷＞前鳞鲻,而七星鲈对0号柴油最为敏感。3种仔虾对油类的耐受力明显低于4种仔鱼。

几种神经活性物质对海湾扇贝幼虫变态诱导作用的研究

本文研究了儿茶酚胺类和金属离子对海湾扇贝幼虫变态的诱导作用,结果显示;外加10-4-10-6mol/dm3的肾上腺素,10-5mol/dm3的去甲肾上腺素和L-多巴具有十分显着的诱导能力;外加10-15mmol/dm3K+和Ca2+处理幼虫一段时间后,对其变态有明显促进作用。实验研究了最适浓度下肾上腺素、L-多巴和KCl不同处理时间对幼虫变态的影响,表明幼虫对肾上腺素和L-多巴表现出很高的敏感性,而对KCl则表现出对时间和剂量较强的依赖性。

Larval fish assemblages,environment and circulation in a semienclosed sea (Gulf of California,Mexico)

Fish larvae and hydrographic data collected in the Gulf of California (GC) in December 2002 are used to describe larval fish assemblages (LFAs) and to explore their relationships with environmental variables (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence maximum, ?$?$ and superficial chlorophyll a). The Bray–Curtis dissimilarity index defined three LFAs, distributed in areas with distinctly different environmental conditions. The affinity of most of the species with the environmental characteristics of their areas of distribution could be interpreted as an indication that spawning occurred inside those areas. Particle tracking in current fields from a 3D numerical model and connectivity matrices are used to assess larval retention in the LFA areas. The technique is well suited for seas like the GC that have well-defined circulation patterns. On time scales around 30 days, retention (from 56% to 73% of the particles) occurred (1) for the North LFA in the Upper GC, (2) for the Channel-Center LFA in the anticyclone over the Northern GC and in Ballenas Channel, and (3) for the South LFA in the eddy over San Pedro Mártir basin and in the shallow zone off the peninsula. Therefore, the Lagrangian analysis revealed that the observed LFAs have a permanency long enough to allow fish larvae to remain in a favorable environment until they develop motility. The main particle export path (less than 26% of the particles) was from the North to the South LFA, following the anticyclonic main flow and coinciding with the gradient in species number and larval abundance.

经人工授精获得鲮(Cirrhinus molitorella)受精卵,观察其胚后发育,描述9个主要发育期的仔鱼形态特征。结果表明,鲮胚后发育的主要特征是:身体较为透明,淡黄色,体形短小,孵出时,体长4.7mm,肌节数36(10+16+10);鳔一室期后,其胸鳍基部有2～3个黑色素花,头部较为尖突,尾柄下具黑斑;出膜5d后,全长7.1mm,卵黄被完全吸收,尾锥开始上翘;经过25d的生长和发育,进人幼鱼阶段,此时平均全长达30.1mm,初步呈成鱼体征。为监测及保护珠江水系早期鲮鱼资源,讨论鲮与其他几种常见鱼类胚后发育形态差异。     

氨氮和硫化氢对日本对虾幼体生长和变态发育的影响

研究了氨氮和硫化氢对日本对虾(Penaeus japonicus)各期幼体存活率、变态率和日生长率的影响。结果表明,氨氮和硫化氢对日本对虾各期幼体存活率、变态率和日生长率都具有显著性影响(P﹤0.05)。随着氨氮质量浓度的升高,日本对虾各期幼体存活率(无节幼体除外)和未变态个体的日生长率(日生长率A)均逐渐降低,变态率和变态个体的日生长率(日生长率B)则逐渐升高;随着硫化氢质量浓度的升高,日本对虾各期幼体存活率和日生长率A均呈现逐渐降低趋势,变态率和日生长率B也逐渐减小。研究发现,氨氮和硫化氢质量浓度与日生长率A呈现负相关性,变态率与日生长率B呈现正相关性。     

方斑东风螺早期发育过程中几种消化酶的活性

将方斑东风螺Babylonia areolata(Link)的早期发育从早期面盘幼体到变态后15d的稚贝分成6个阶段,分别测定各阶段蛋白酶(P)、脂肪酶(L)、淀粉酶(A)和纤维素酶(C)活性。研究结果表明,随着幼体发育的推进,蛋白酶比活力逐渐减小,脂肪酶比活力逐渐增加,淀粉酶和纤维素酶比活力则在变态前逐渐增加,而变态后逐渐减小。比较A/P和(A C)/(P L)两种指标指示方斑东风螺幼体发育过程中的食性变化,提出(A C)/(P L)用于指示方斑东风螺食性变化更合理、准确。综合比较幼体发育各阶段4种消化酶活性,发现在面盘幼体向稚贝变态期间,幼体消化能力最弱,原因与幼体的变态过程有关。实验结果也验证了贝类具有分泌纤维素酶的能力,该酶在东风螺对纤维素分解中占主导地位。     

EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE AND Ca^2＋ ON THE LARVAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE DECAPODA CRUSTACEAN ： ERIOCHEIR SINENSIS

With increasing demand in China for the mitten crab larvae, understanding its survival mechanism gets more important. This research focused on the effects of temperature and Ca^2 on the larval growth and development. Eriocheir sinensis larvae were reared in laboratory under 21 different combinations of temperature (15, 20, 25℃) and Ca^2 content (120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180mg/l) and constant salinity (20) and pH (8), The results suggested that the survival rate increases with temperature and Ca^2 content. These combinations of temperature and Ca2 content maximized survival rate inour study and it may be the optimum water environmental conditions for culturing the larvae. To predict surviving larvae number under different water environmental conditions, 21 dynamic mathematical models were developed. This for the first time observation of the zoeal Ⅵ larvae of the Changjiang River E.sinensis population showed that they occurred under stressed water environmental conditions: temperature of 15℃ and Ca^2 content of 120,130mg/l.
