评估斑马鱼胚胎毒性试验在农药危害筛选中的应用

考虑到人类社会中大量使用化学物质，想要准确有效地评估这些化学物质对人类和生态受体的潜在风险，研发有效的手段和方法是至关重要的。鱼胚胎急性毒性试验是其中一种工具，已表现出与幼鱼急性毒性标准试验的预测结果高度吻合，而幼鱼试验对资源消耗更多。然而，也有证据表明，对于某些类型的化学物质，包括神经毒素，鱼类胚胎的敏感性低于幼鱼。本文利用已发表的斑马鱼胚胎毒性数据，与3种常用检测用鱼幼鱼(虹鳟鱼、蓝鳃太阳鱼、羊鲷)的半致死浓度50%(LC₅₀)数据进行比较，研究了鱼类胚胎对农药危害评估的效用。在将农药视为单因素的情况下，斑马鱼胚胎和幼鱼毒性数据相关性较差，差异显著(r²=0.28；p2=0.64；p 精选自Glaberman, S., Padilla, S. and Barron, M.

稻瘟酰胺在水/沉积物中的降解及生物富集性研究

稻瘟酰胺是一种新型内吸型杀菌剂,其在水体环境中的归趋备受关注。采用室内模拟试验方法,研究了稻瘟酰胺在水-沉积物中的降解特性和在斑马鱼中的生物富集性。结果表明,在水-沉积物降解中,好氧条件下河流与湖泊水-沉积物系统中农药总量的降解半衰期分别为169.1、60.3 d,厌氧条件下的降解半衰期分别为173.3、126.0 d,湖泊体系的降解速率快于河流体系。稻瘟酰胺在水-沉积物体系中主要存在于沉积物中,系统降解速率主要受沉积物中的降解速率影响。稻瘟酰胺在斑马鱼中的生物富集系数BCF_(8d)达64.8~189.1,具有中等富集性。稻瘟酰胺在水体环境中具有较强稳定性,且具有一定的生物富集性,可能会对水体和水体生物造成一定的污染影响。     

代表性鲤科鱼类青鱼的物种敏感性评价

物种敏感性评价是水质基准研究的重要内容.青鱼是我国典型淡水底栖鲤科鱼类.搜集和筛选了水体代表性污染物毒死蜱、苯并[a]芘、荧蒽和三价砷对青鱼的毒性数据,并开展了这4种污染物对青鱼的急性毒性实验,评价青鱼的物种敏感性.结果表明:(1)毒死蜱、苯并[a]芘、荧蒽和三价砷对青鱼96 h的半致死浓度(LC50)分别为031、0.011、7.00和0.87 mg·L-1;4种污染物对青鱼幼稚鱼均属于中高毒性,青鱼幼稚鱼敏感性整体上高于国际标准测试物种斑马鱼,说明青鱼幼稚鱼可能是较为灵敏的受试生物;(2)青鱼对各类污染物敏感性具有显著差异,对三价砷非常敏感,物种累积频率为8％,在无机砷的水质基准研究中值得关注;(3)在鱼类敏感性排序中,鲤科和鲑科鱼类对各种污染物较为敏感,青鱼作为典型底栖鲤科鱼类,在水质基准和生态风险评估研究中应给予更多关注.     

青岛近海生物体内多环芳烃、多氯联苯和有机氯农药的含量和分布特征(Concentrations and Distribution Characteristic of PAHs, PCBs and OCPs in the Marine Organisms of Qingdao Coastal Area)

为初步了解青岛近海生物体内多环芳烃、多氯联苯和有机氯农药的含量和组成特征,于2007年10～11月采集了青岛近海13个站位的鱼、虾和软体类动物,分析了其肌肉中的多环芳烃、多氯联苯和有机氯农药的含量和组成.结果表明,多环芳烃、多氯联苯和有机氯农药更易在鱼类体内富集,其含量远大于软体类和虾类.高氯代联苯和高环芳烃在同系物中的比例在鱼类体内最小,这可能是由鱼类和虾类、软体类不同的生活习性造成的.有机氯农药中,滴滴涕的含量显著高于六六六.

珠江流域野生淡水鱼中有机紫外线吸收剂的组织分布、生长稀释和物种特异性生物蓄积

以华南珠江流域9种野生淡水鱼为材料,本文研究了12种有机紫外线吸收剂（UVA）的组织分布、个体体型依赖性和物种特异性生物蓄积。鱼组织样品中12种UVA的浓度为109～2320 ng/g脂质重量（lw）。在超过一半的鱼组织样本中检测到2-羟基-4-甲氧基二苯甲酮（BP-3）、八甲基丙烯（OCR）、UV531和5种苯并三唑类紫外线稳定剂（UVP、UV329、UV234、UV328和UV327）。UV531在野生淡水鱼体内具有明显的生物蓄积潜力,其生物蓄积因子（Log BAF）和生物沉积物蓄积因子（BSAF）分别为4.54±0.55和4.88±6.78。一般来说,肝脏（989±464 ng/g lw）的UVA含量最高,其次是腹部脂肪（599±318 ng/g lw）、膀胱（494±282 ng/g lw）、背肌（470±240 ng/g lw）和卵（442±238 ng/g lw）。淡水野生鱼体内UVA的生物积累表现出物种特异性和化合物依赖性。摄食杂食性鱼类的底栖食碎屑者含有明显较高的UVA浓度,表明摄食碎屑/沉积物是野生淡水鱼暴露于UVA的重要途径。UV531和BP-3表现出生长稀释的潜力。代谢可能在消除鱼组织中的UVA方面发挥重要作用,其中肝脏的代谢率最高。在珠江流域的淡水生态系统中,UVA没有显示出明显的营养级放大作用。有必要进行更多的研究来阐明UVA在生物体内的母体转移。     

对二甲苯对褐牙鲆(Paralichthys olivaceus)幼鱼的毒性效应研究

采用急性和28 d慢性暴露试验研究了海洋典型危险化学品对二甲苯对褐牙鲆幼鱼的致死效应和生长抑制效应,并测定了遗传毒性、神经毒性以及免疫毒性效应相关的毒理学评价指标。研究结果表明:对二甲苯对褐牙鲆幼鱼的96 h-LC50为45.7 mg·L~(-1),根据国家环保局水和废水监测分析方法编委会规定的化学物质对鱼类毒性分级标准,属于中等毒性,浓度高于2.3 mg·L~(-1)的暴露能显著抑制褐牙鲆幼鱼的生长;4.6和9.2 mg·L~(-1)浓度组观察到对二甲苯暴露28 d后褐牙鲆肝脏中的丙二醛含量与DNA损伤程度显著升高,脑组织中乙酰胆碱酯酶(Ach E)活力被明显抑制;9.2 mg·L~(-1)浓度组暴露28 d后,褐牙鲆幼鱼体内总血细胞数量和溶菌酶活力显著降低。这些结果表明较高浓度的对二甲苯长期作用可导致褐牙鲆幼鱼的氧化胁迫,造成其肝脏毒性损伤并产生神经毒性与免疫毒性。本实验结果为了解对二甲苯对鱼类的毒性作用机制以及对二甲苯的海洋生态风险评估提供了科学依据。     

Analysis of AchE and LDH in mollusc, Lamellidens marginalis after exposure to chlorpyrifos

The enzymes Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) and Lactatedehydrogenase (LDH) are used as biological markers in the present study. Enzymes are highly sensitive and used to evaluate the biological effects of organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos in freshwater mussel Lamellidens marginalis. The test organisms were exposed to sub-lethal concentration (5 ppm) of chlorpyrifos for 30 days and allowed to recover for seven days. A distinct reduction of the enzyme AchE (34 +/- 3.3 U l(-1)) was found in the treated hepatopancreas. A significant increase in LDH activity in gill, hepatopancreas and muscle was observed. There was a significant recovery in AchE and LDH in the different tissues, after seven days recovery period.. Hence, the changes in the enzymes are found as the best biomarkering tool to evaluate the effect of organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos on the aquatic biota.     

基于RICEWQ—EXAMS模型的东苕溪流域稻田用药的水生生态及健康风险评价

构建了东苕溪流域水稻地表水暴露场景,对国外已广泛应用的稻田-地表水暴露评价模型（RICEWQ—EX—AMS）进行二次开发,并应用构建的场景和开发的模型对东苕溪流域稻田常用农药品种进行水生生态风险评价和健康风险评价。结果表明,在所评价的10种东苕溪流域常用农药品种中,除草剂氟乐灵对藻具有急性高风险,杀虫剂硫丹对鱼既具有急性高风险,又具有慢性风险,阿维菌素对泾具有急性高风险,氟铃脲对涵既具有急性高风险,又具有慢性风险,其余品种对鱼、溢和藻的急慢性风险均较低。运用传统评价法和风险评价模型计算法得出了相一致的结论,即所评价的10个农药品种对人体健康均无风险,该评价结果与所评价农药的实际风险表现较吻合。认为所构建的场景、模型能较好地用于东苕溪流域稻田农药品种的风险评价。     

基于物种敏感性分布法的毒死蜱对稻田生态系统生态风险评价

生物敏感性分布法(Species Sensitivity Distributions,SSD)是一种基于单物种测试和概率统计学的、较高级的外推风险评估方法。该方法在国内外均被广泛应用于各种污染物风险评价中。本文选取了采用logistic和normal这2种SSD分布模型,分析了国内外毒死蜱对3组水生生物组合的毒性数据;并且获得各自SSD的HCx值。3组毒性数据分别为:浙江稻田水生生物组,长三角地区水生生物组和美国水生生物组。浙江稻田水生物SSD分布的HC5为:0.32μg·L~(-1)(logistic模型)和0.35μg·L~(-1)(normal模型);HC10为1.50μg·L~(-1)(logistic模型)和1.26μg·L~(-1)(normal模型);HC20为8.13μg·L~(-1)(logistic模型)和5.96μg·L~(-1)(normal模型);HC50为145.44μg·L~(-1)(logistic模型)和115.74μg·L~(-1)(normal模型)。据此判断水稻种植季节,稻田水域毒死蜱对食蚊鱼、鳑鲏、泽蛙蝌蚪、轮虫、常见腹足类和双壳类软体动物以及绝大多数藻类等的风险较小。利用冗余分析研究了生物物种数量、物种组成结构和拟合模型对HCx影响。结果表明:物种组成结构对HCx有较为明显的影响。具体表现为对毒死蜱较为敏感物种数量与HCx存在明显的负相关性;对毒死蜱不敏感的物种则与HCx呈现正相关性。     

Role of the fish Astyanax aeneus (Characidae) as a keystone nutrient recycler in low-nutrient neotropical streams

Nutrient recycling by animals is a potentially important biogeochemical process in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Stoichiometric traits of individual species may result in some taxa playing disproportionately important roles in the recycling of nutrients relative to their biomass, acting as keystone nutrient recyclers. We examined factors controlling the relative contribution of 12 Neotropical fish species to nutrient recycling in four streams spanning a range of phosphorus (P) levels. In high-P conditions (135 microg/L soluble reactive phosphorus, SRP), most species fed on P-enriched diets and P excretion rates were high across species. In low-P conditions (3 microg/L SRP), aquatic food resources were depleted in P, and species with higher body P content showed low rates of P recycling. However, fishes that were subsidized by terrestrial inputs were decoupled from aquatic P availability and therefore excreted P at disproportionately high rates. One of these species, Astyanax aeneus (Characidae), represented 12% of the total population and 18% of the total biomass of the fish assemblage in our focal low-P study stream but had P excretion rates > 10-fold higher than other abundant fishes. As a result, we estimated that P excretion by A. aeneus accounted for 90% of the P recycled by this fish assemblage and also supplied approximately 90% of the stream P demand in this P-limited ecosystem. Nitrogen excretion rates showed little variation among species, and the contribution of a given species to ecosystem N recycling was largely dependent upon the total biomass of that species. Because of the high variability in P excretion rates among fish species, ecosystem-level P recycling could be particularly sensitive to changes in fish community structure in P-limited systems.     

Influence of the organophosphorus insecticide phosphamidon on lentic water

The inland freshwater resources are being increasingly subjected to heavy stress as a result of indiscriminate dumping of industrial wastes, domestic sewage and agricultural run-off causing deterioration of the water quality and adverse impact on aquatic biota. Pesticides drained to the aquatic environment are primarily of agricultural origin. Phosphamidon (widely used organophosphate pesticide in paddy field) significantly reduced dissolved oxygen (DO) at 1.8 mg/l exposure and reduced alkalinity at 0.9 and 1.8 mg/l. Hardness also reduced gradually but not significantly. Free carbondioxide was increased significantly at 1.8 mg/l of the insecticide compared to control. The insecticide had no influence on pH and temperature. There was maximum reduction of phytoplankton and zooplankton population at 1.8 mg/l of phosphamidon. Though gradual reduction of plankton community was also noticed at different lower concentrations of pesticides but in case of phytoplankton an abrupt reduction (about 50% of the control) was observed. The normal behaviour and feeding rate of air breathing teleost, Channa punctatus was also hampered. Therefore, phosphamidon even at low concentrations may create disorders in the aquatic ecosystem.     

The effect of Chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate in acetyl cholinesterase activity in freshwater fishes

The freshwater fish Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala are exposed to the toxicant chlorpyrifos, an organo phosphate commonly used in agriculture as well as in aquaculture. The effect was studied on the enzyme acetyl cholinesterase activity which was inhibited in the selected tissues of the fish. In different tissues and in brain, the maximum inhibition was observed.

A Regional Perspective on the Diversity and Conservation of Tropical Andean Fishes

Abstract: The tropical Andes harbor an extraordinarily varied concentration of species in a landscape under increasing pressure from human activities. Conservation of the region's native plants and animals has received considerable international attention, but the focus has been on terrestrial biota. The conservation of freshwater fauna, particularly the conservation of fishes, has not been emphasized. Tropical Andean fishes are among the most understudied vertebrates in the world. We estimate that between 400 and 600 fish species inhabit the diverse aquatic environments in the region. Nearly 40% of these species are endemic. Tropical Andean fishes are vulnerable to ongoing environmental changes related to deforestation, water withdrawals, water pollution, species introductions, and hydropower development. Additionally, their distributions and population dynamics may be affected by hydrologic alterations and warmer water temperatures associated with projected climate change. Presently, at least three species are considered extinct, some populations are endangered, and some species are likely to decline or disappear. The long‐term persistence of tropical Andean fishes will depend on greater consideration of freshwater systems in regional conservation initiatives.

The effectiveness of surrogate taxa to conserve freshwater biodiversity

Establishing protected areas has long been an effective conservation strategy and is often based on readily surveyed species. The potential of any freshwater taxa to be a surrogate for other aquatic groups has not been explored fully. We compiled occurrence data on 72 species of freshwater fishes, amphibians, mussels, and aquatic reptiles for the Great Plains, Wyoming (U.S.A.). We used hierarchical Bayesian multispecies mixture models and MaxEnt models to describe species’ distributions and the program Zonation to identify areas of conservation priority for each aquatic group. The landscape‐scale factors that best characterized aquatic species’ distributions differed among groups. There was low agreement and congruence among taxa‐specific conservation priorities (<20%), meaning no surrogate priority areas would include or protect the best habitats of other aquatic taxa. Common, wideranging aquatic species were included in taxa‐specific priority areas, but rare freshwater species were not included. Thus, the development of conservation priorities based on a single freshwater aquatic group would not protect all species in the other aquatic groups.
