单甲脒农药对模型池塘生态系统藻类群落结构的影响

在１．５－５０．０ｍｇ／Ｌ的浓度范围内，单甲脒农药对模型池塘生态系统中的浮游植物群落结构有明显影响。尤其在加药的头４ｄ内，藻类种类、数量、多样性指数、种类数比及增长率明显下降，优势比显著上升，敏感种及清洁种减少甚至消失，高浓度（５０．０ｍｇ／Ｌ）的单甲脒在２ｄ内可把藻类全部杀灭。随试验时间的延长，药物不断降解，６ｄ后藻类种类、数量、多样性指数又不断回升。随加药次数的增多，药物对藻类抑制作用明显减弱，藻类的种类、数量、多样性指数等指标不断上升，尤其是藻类数量增加明显，试验后期，藻类数量高低主要受Ｎ、Ｐ浓度大小的影响。     

单甲脒在土壤中的降解及持久性研究

本文对四种不同类型土壤中单甲脒及其盐酸盐在厌氧与好氧条件下的降解动态及其残留进行了研究。结果表明单甲脒及其盐酸盐均属不稳定的化合物，单甲脒在土壤中的半衰期为４．６－９．１ｄ，其盐酸盐的半衰期为２．０－６．２ｄ。结果还表明单甲脒盐酸盐在厌氧条件下较在好氧条件下降解缓慢；在厌氧条件时，土壤的ｐＨ值对其降解影响较大。在相同条件下，单甲脒比它的盐酸盐酸盐降解慢，其降解速率与土壤ｐＨ值无关。

Production of valued materials from squid viscera by subcritical water hydrolysis

Subcritical water hydrolysis was carried out to produce valued materials from squid viscera, the waste product of fish processing industries. The reaction temperatures for hydrolysis of rawand deoiled squid viscera were maintained from 180 to 280 degrees C for5 min. The ratio of material to water forhydrolysis was 1:50. Most of the proteins from deoiled squid viscera were recovered at high temperature. The protein yield in raw squid viscera hydrolyzate decreased with the rise of temperature. The reducing sugar yield was higher at high temperature in subcritical water hydrolysis of both raw and deoiled squid viscera. The highest yield of amino acids in raw and deoiled squid viscera hydrolyzates were 233.25 +/- 3.25 and 533.78 +/- 4.13 mg g(-1) at 180 and 280 degrees C, respectively. Most amino acids attained highest yield at the reaction temperature range of 180-220 degrees C and 260-280 degrees C for raw and deoiled samples, respectively. The recovery of amino acids from deoiled squid viscera was about 1.5 times higher than that of raw squid viscera.

A farewell to Dr Thomas Knacker (* 29.04.1951 – ? 30.10.2011): scientific contributions and personal memories

Background

The bioaccumulation potential of chemical substances is commonly determined in flow-through fish tests according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) technical guideline (TG) 305, aiming at the determination of bioconcentration factors (BCF). Investigations on aquatic organisms have shown a significant positive correlation between the accumulation of a chemical and the lipid content of organisms. Residue levels can thus differ between individuals, species, and size groups depending on their lipid content. BCF values can be normalized by lipid content; however, this requires the use of appropriate extraction techniques to ensure the complete extraction of total lipids from fish/tissue samples. The OECD TG 305 is currently under revision. A literature review was carried out to select preferred methods which shall be included in the updated OECD TG 305 along with a sampling schedule for lipid measurement in fish.

Results

An overview and appraisal of a broad range of lipid extraction methods is presented. Extraction procedures applied in bioaccumulation studies described in the literature and procedures currently used for such studies by governmental, academic, and industrial labs are surveyed. Possible impacts of unsuitable extraction techniques on lipid normalized BCF results were assessed. Default values for BCF normalization commonly used in bioaccumulation studies are described. The effect of differences in residue distribution over different organs and/or lipids on the normalization of BCF values is discussed.

Conclusions

A broad range of procedures for lipid extraction are available. However, only the use of suitable extraction techniques guarantees the complete extraction of total lipids from fish samples in bioaccumulation studies which is required to ensure the correct lipid normalization of BCF values. Preferred methods for inclusion in the updated OECD 305 test guideline as well as a standard schedule for lipid measurements are suggested.     

Molecular size as a limiting characteristic for bioconcentration in fish

The relationships between the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of chemicals in fish and their size, as characterized by molecular weight (MW), effective cross sectional diameter (Deff), and maximum diameter (Dmax) have been investigated using an experimental data set of 737 new and 441 existing chemicals monitored by the Japanese Chemical Substances Control Law (CSCL). Substances with BCF > or = 5000 (very high bioconcentration potential) typically have MW < 550, Deff < 1.1 nm and Dmax < 2.0 nm, respectively and the substances with BCF > or = 1000 (high bioconcentration potential) have MW < 550, Deff < 1.4 nm and Dmax < 2.9 nm, respectively Therefore, the previously suggested threshold values for Deff (0.95 nm) and Dmax (1.5 nm) used for discriminating between bioconcentrative and non-bioconcentrative substances were found to be somewhat small. We found that many substances with BCF > or = 1000 and Dmax > or = 1.5 nm have Deff < 0.95 nm.     

Chemical composition of dietary species of marine unicellular algae and rotifers with emphasis on fatty acids

The lipid profiles of a few species of marine unicellular algae and yeast were studied with emphasis on fatty acids as part of a search for the nutritional value of plankton to the diet of marine fish larvae commonly used in marine hatcheries. The general proximate chemistry of rotifers was closely related to the proximate chemistry of the diet organism, exhibiting a higher content of protein and carbohydrate and a lower content of lipid. Major lipids in all algae, yeast and rotifers comprised mono-, di- and tri-glycerides and polar lipids. The algae Chaetoceros gracilis Schutt, Isochrysis galbana Parke and their respective algaefed rotifers exhibited higher amounts of neutral lipids, consisting mainly of cyclic and branched polyunsaturated components. Fatty acid composition of the algae was species-specific, with the highest ratio of polyethylenic to saturated and monoethylenic acid in I. galbana and Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin, and the highest content (15%) of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids in Nannochloropsis salina and P. tricornutum. A closely mirrored distribution of the fatty acids, but with a lower amount of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids, was present in the respective algae-fed rotifers. Comparison of the fatty acid spectrum of Artemia sp. and Euterpina acutifrons grown in the laboratory on I. galbana with zooplankton samples of E. acutifrons and Oitona nana collected from the sea showed a higher concentration of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n-3) in the naturally collected sample. The results indicate that the efficacy of the food algae C. gracilis and I. galbana in increasing the survival of fish larvae in marine hatcheries is not obvious on the sole basis of fatty acid composition.     

3种微藻对全氟烷基化合物的生物富集效应

全氟烷基化合物(perfluoroalkyl substances,PFASs)是一系列人工合成的新型有机污染物,由于长链的PFASs具有较高的生物蓄积性,短链PFASs逐渐作为替代品而被广泛利用。为探讨不同碳链长度的PFASs在水生浮游植物中的蓄积能力,选取7种PFASs为目标物,以斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)、钝顶螺旋藻(Spirulina platensis)和蛋白核小球藻(Chlorella pyrenoidosa)作为受试生物进行富集动力学实验,测定24 h时的生物富集因子(Bioconcentration factors,BCF)。结果表明,染毒浓度为10μg·L-1时,全氟癸烷羧酸的富集能力最强,在斜生栅藻、钝顶螺旋藻和蛋白核小球藻中的浓度分别为1 894 ng·g~(-1)、88.0ng·g~(-1)、990 ng·g~(-1)。3种微藻中全氟烷基磺酸的BCF均随碳链长度的增加而增大;全氟烷基羧酸的BCF基本遵循同样的规律,只是在钝顶螺旋藻体内,全氟己烷羧酸的BCF高于全氟辛烷羧酸。此外,PFASs在斜生栅藻中的浓度均高于蛋白核小球藻和钝顶螺旋藻,不同藻类的富集能力与其表面积、脂肪及蛋白质组成有关。     

Ontogenetic change in the diet ofAplodactylus punctatus (Pisces: Aplodactylidae): an ecophysiological explanation

Aplodactylus punctatus is a temperate berbivorous fish that changes from an omnivorous to a herbivorous diet and increases its ability ot assimilate algae as it grows. To investigate whether this dietary shift is related to size-specific differences in energetic demands imposed by metabolism and the amount of assimilated energy, oxygen consumption ( ) was determined experimentally in 12 specimens ranging in size from 62 to 545 g. increased allometrically with body size from 8.41 to 55.95 mg O₂ individual^-1 h^-1. Individual energetic requirements were 2.8 to 33.7 kJ d^-1. The assimilated energy was estimated, taking into consideration: (1) the energetic value of the most important alga in the diet (Lessonia trabeculata); (2) size-specific differences in assimilation rates for fish fed on this alga; (3) size-specific differences in throughput time and in the amount of food in a full gut. Comparison of the energy required and the assimilated energy revealed that fishes of < 22 to 29 cm total length had a negative energetic balance when consuming algae exclusively. This may explain the reliance of smallA. punctatus on more easily-digested invertebrates. The largest individuals can meet their energetic demands by consuming algae alone, apparently because of their higher assimilation capability. InA. punctatus, changing energetic requirements and capacities for algal assimilation may be responsible for the observed ontogenetic change in diet.     

Biokonzentration von persistenten superlipophilen Chemikalien in aquatischen Organismen

According to generally accepted theory, persistent superlipophilic chemicals with logn-octanol/water partitioning coefficient (log K_ow) >6 and molecular sizes >9,5 Å, such as octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, decachlorobiphenyl, Mirex etc., do not significantly bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms from ambient water. In the light of new results and considerations, this hypothesis has to be revised. The most convincing argument against this hypothesis is that in all bioconcentration experiments with superlipophilic chemicals compound concentrations have been applied which exceeded water solubility by several orders of magnitude. In this paper we describe various methods how to determine bioconcentration (BCF) factors of superlipophilic compounds. As exemplified with octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and Mirex, BCF values evaluated by this means match well those calculated by QSARs for fish and mussels based on log K_ow and water solubility as well. As expected these BCF values exceed previous ones by several orders of magnitude. As practical consequences, we recommend for BCF evaluations of superlipophilic chemicals:

1. flow-through systems, kinetic method (OECD guideline No 305 E)
2. ambient concentrations≤water solubility.

Food habits, gut morphology and pH, and assimilation efficiency of the zebraperch Hermosilla azurea, an herbivorous kyphosid fish of temperate marine waters

Adult zebraperch, Hermosilla azurea, were found to be functional herbivores in that animal matter constituted <0.01% of the total dry weight of stomach contents of fish collected off Santa Catalina Island in southern California waters. The diet of these fish consisted mainly of red algae (88.2% by dry wt) and also small amounts of brown (7.8%) and green (4.0%) algae. The most important dietary item, the filamentous red algae Polysiphonia spp., was found in >78% of the stomachs and comprised >60% of the contents by dry weight. The digestive tract was long, on average 4.0 times the standard length of the fish, and was composed of the stomach, pyloric caeca, intestine, hindgut chamber with a blind caecum, and rectum. The mean pH of the cardiac stomach was acidic (3.9), whereas that of the intestine was nearly neutral (6.9) and that of the hindgut and blind caecum slightly acidic (6.3 and 6.6, respectively). Algal foods are apparently digested by acid lysis in the stomach and by microbial fermentation in the hindgut. Zebraperch assimilated nutritional constituents from six species of algae with varying degrees of efficiency: carbon (73.7 to 89.7%), nitrogen (72.4 to 84.5%), and protein (71.9 to 94.9%). The fish assimilated these constituents as efficiently or more efficiently from three species of nondietary brown algae as from three species of dietary red and green algae. These results show that zebraperch, like their tropical and subtropical relatives (members of the genus Kyphosus), can digest a wide variety of algae including brown algae containing defensive secondary compounds.
