Effects of municipal piers on the growth of juvenile fishes in the Hudson River estuary: a study across a pier edge

The growth rates of two fish species, the winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus (Walbaum) (19.3 to 42.6 mm total length, TL) and the tautog Tautogaonitis (Linnaeus) (23.9 to 55.9 mm TL), were used to evaluate habitat quality under and around municipal piers in the Hudson River estuary, USA. Growth rates were measured in a series of 10 d field caging-experiments conducted at two large piers in the summers of 1996 and 1997. Cages (0.64 m²) were deployed along␣transects that stretched from underneath the piers to beyond them, encompassing the pier edge (the transitional zone between the pier interior and the outside). Growth in weight (G _w ) was determined at five locations along the transect, 40 m beneath the pier, 20 m beneath the pier, at the pier edge, 20 m beyond the pier edge, and 40 m beyond. Under piers, mean growth rates of winter flounder and tautogs were negative (xˉG _W = −0.02 d⁻¹), and rates were comparable to laboratory-starved control fishes (xˉG _W = −0.02 d⁻¹). In contrast, mean growth rates at pier edges and in open waters beyond piers were generally positive (xˉG _W ranged from −0.001 to +0.05 d⁻¹), with growth at pier edges often being more variable and less rapid than at open-water sites. Analyses of stomach contents upon retrieval of caged fishes revealed that dry weights of food were generally higher among fishes caged at open-water stations (xˉ range = 0.02 to 0.72 mg dry wt) than at pier-edge (xˉ range = 0.01 to 0.54 mg) or under-pier (xˉ range = 0.03 to 0.11 mg) stations, although it was apparent that benthic prey were available at all stations on the transect. Our results indicate poor feeding conditions among fishes caged under piers, and suboptimal foraging among fishes caged at pier edges. Inadequate growth rates can lead to higher rates of mortality, and, based on these and other earlier experiments, we conclude that under-pier environments are poor-quality habitats for some species of juvenile fishes.

十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)及消油剂对刺参幼参的急性毒性

为探究表面活性剂对海洋棘皮动物的影响,测定了十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)和消油剂对刺参(Stichopus japonicas )幼参的急性毒性。结果显示,SDBS对刺参幼参的72 h-LC₅₀和96 h-LC₅₀分别为2.50和1.71 mg·L^-1;消油剂对刺参幼参的96 h-LC₅₀为7 498.94 mg·L^-1。刺参幼参相对于多刺裸腹溞(Moina macrocopa )和脊尾白虾仔虾(Palaemon carincauda )对SDBS的敏感性较高,相对于安氏伪镖水蚤(Pseudodiaptomus annandalei )对SDBS的敏感性则较低,SDBS对刺参幼参的毒性明显大于十二烷基磺酸钠(SDS),消油剂的96 h-LC₅₀ 远远大于SDBS和SDS,毒性非常小,但这仅是对刺参幼参而言,大多数研究忽视了消油剂自身对生物体存在的影响,因此这方面的研究工作还需要继续开展。     

应用生物配体模型研究湘江水体中铜的生物有效性

为评估湘江水体中铜的生物有效性,通过铜对青鳉的急性毒性实验确定铜对青鳉的半致死浓度(LC₅₀),然后利用生物配体模型(Biotic Ligand Model, BLM)确定青鳉的累积半致死浓度(LA₅₀)。同时对湘江水样的预测结果表明,铜对青鳉的LA₅₀为12.43 nmol?gw^-1;BLM预测的与实验观测的LC₅₀差异倍数小于2,表明BLM预测结果非常准确。在此基础上预测铜对青鳉LC₅₀预测范围为344.70～761.96 μg?L^-1。湘江各点水质最终急性值(FAV)相差不大(11.04～14.25 μg?L^-1),但水中溶解态铜含量相差较大(0.29～10.48 μg?L^-1),同时毒性单位值(TU)相差较大(0.06～1.48 μg?L^-1),其中最小值在舂陵水入湘江下游采样断面,最大值在株洲断面。在全部调查断面中,只有株洲断面TU大于1(1.48),说明株洲断面水中铜含量超过了该断面水中BLM确定的标准最大浓度1.48倍。     

双齿许水蚤(Pseudodiaptomus dubia)对亚热带虾池Cu和Zn富集的研究

重金属污染是对虾养殖环境主要污染现象之一,查明重金属在环境中的迁移规律对养殖水质调控和对虾健康养殖具有重要意义。本文采用火焰原子吸收分光光度计测定在不同暴露时间下双齿许水蚤(Pseudodiaptomus dubia) 对Cu和Zn的富集量,研究了双齿许水蚤对Cu和Zn富集动力学,并探讨了温度和盐度对其富集的影响。结果表明：双齿许水蚤对Cu和Zn的富集过程均经历了快速、慢速和平衡3个阶段,实验24 h达到富集平衡;双齿许水蚤对Cu和Zn的富集动力学参数k_1(Cu)=0.077 < k_1(Zn)=0.272,BCF_(Cu)=0.344 < BCF_(Zn)=2.252,双齿许水蚤对Zn的富集速率和富集能力均大于Cu。温度对双齿许水蚤Cu和Zn富集的影响显著(p <0.05),最适温度范围为15~30 ℃;盐度对双齿许水蚤Zn富集的影响极显著(p <0.01),而对Cu富集的影响不显著(p >0.05),对Cu和Zn适宜的富集盐度范围为5~35。这些研究结果表明,双齿许水蚤对Cu和Zn均具有较强的富集能力。基于以上研究结果,在对虾养殖期间,应通过循环过滤设施去除受到重金属污染池塘中的浮游动物,从而减少幼虾对其摄食和量度体重金属的积累,降低食品安全隐患。     

黑斑蛙与非洲爪蟾蝌蚪急性毒性试验方法敏感性的比较

两栖动物蝌蚪急性毒性试验是评价化学品急性毒性的一种方法。以毒死蜱、乙草胺、重铬酸钾和全氟辛烷磺酸盐(PFOS)为测试物,比较了我国本土黑斑蛙(Rana nigromaculata)与国际通用种非洲爪蟾(Xenopus laevis)在蝌蚪急性毒性试验中的敏感性。结果发现：2类蝌蚪分别进行的11次试验中,空白对照组黑斑蛙蝌蚪死亡率(0.9%)远低于非洲爪蟾蝌蚪的死亡率(5.8%);重铬酸钾和PFOS对黑斑蛙蝌蚪的96 h-LC₅₀分别为34.0 mg·L^-1和81.0 mg·L^-1,而对非洲爪蟾蝌蚪的96 h-LC₅₀分别为51.6 mg·L^-1和92.1 mg·L^-1,显示黑斑蛙蝌蚪对这2种化学品的敏感性略高于非洲爪蟾蝌蚪;毒死蜱和乙草胺对黑斑蛙蝌蚪的96 h-LC₅₀分别为0.41 mg·L^-1和4.1 mg·L^-1,而对非洲爪蟾蝌蚪的96 h-LC₅₀分别为0.12 mg·L^-1和3.1 mg·L^-1,显示黑斑蛙蝌蚪对这2种化学品的敏感性略低于非洲爪蟾。鉴于2类蝌蚪对化学品的敏感性存在差异,且黑斑蛙蝌蚪的自然死亡率低,材料更易获得,笔者认为黑斑蛙蝌蚪比非洲爪蟾更适合作为蝌蚪急性毒性试验的材料,用于我国化学品环境管理中的毒性评价。     

不同土壤类型中外源汞对白符跳（Folsomia candida）的毒性研究

参考国际标准化组织(ISO)颁布的跳虫毒性测试方法 ISO11267,分析了汞(Hg)在我国9种典型土壤中对白符跳(Folsomia candida)的急性毒性及繁殖毒性。发现Hg在不同类型土壤中对白符跳的半数致死浓度(LC₅₀)变化为(0.92～1.94) mg·kg^-1,而对白符跳繁殖产生影响的半数效应浓度(EC₅₀)变化范围为(0.98～2.43) mg·kg^-1,产生10%影响的浓度(EC10)变化范围为(0.29～1.40) mg·kg^-1 。将土壤的主要理化性质(pH、OM、CEC)与Hg对白符跳的EC₅₀进行相关性回归分析,发现土壤CEC与EC₅₀呈显著正相关关系(r=0.8624,p<0.01),随着土壤CEC的增大,Hg的EC₅₀值也趋于升高。因此,土壤CEC可能是导致不同类型土壤中汞对白符跳毒性差异的主要因素。本研究结果可为制定基于我国土壤类型的生态筛选值提供基础参考数据。     

The amphipod Corophium multisetosum (Corophiidae) in Ria de Aveiro (NW Portugal). II. Abundance, biomass and production

 The abundance and biomass of Corophium multisetosum Stock, 1952 were determined from benthic corer samples collected monthly over 1 yr in the upper reaches of Canal de Mira (Ria de Aveiro, Portugal). Both density and biomass over the sampling period were negatively correlated with water temperature and positively correlated with chlorophyll a concentration in the sediment. C. multisetosum density was significantly negatively correlated with plant biomass and positively correlated with salinity. The nature of the sediment, favourable environmental conditions, high availability of food and low interspecific competition allowed the population to reach a maximal density of 200 × 10³ individuals m⁻² and a maximal biomass (ash-free dry wt, AFDW) of 62 g_AFDW m⁻². The population was highly productive, especially during the autumn/winter period. Production, estimated by two different methods (Hynes method: 251 g_AFDW m⁻² yr⁻¹; Morin–Bourassa method: 308 g_DW m⁻² yr⁻¹), was much higher than the values reported for other Corophium species. The annual P:Bˉ ratio (10) was high, but similar to values reported for Swedish populations of C. volutator and lower than the values estimated from Mediterranean populations of C. insidiosum.

外源化合物在鱼体内生物半减期的QSAR模型

生物半减期(t1/2)是评价外源化合物在鱼体内蓄积效应的重要参数。实验测定t_(1/2)的速度慢、成本高,难以满足化学品生态风险评价的需求,需要发展替代实验的模型预测方法。本研究搜集了653种化合物t1/2实测值,采用多元线性回归(MLR)和支持向量机(SVM) 2种方法,建立了鱼体logt1/2的定量构效关系(QSAR)预测模型。MLR模型的校正决定系数(R(adj)~2)为0.751,均方根误差(RMSE_(train))为0.587,去一法交叉验证系数(Q_(LOO)~2)为0.735,外部验证系数(Q_(ext)~2)为0.682,这表明模型具有较好的拟合度、稳健性和预测能力。SVM模型具有更好的拟合和预测能力(R_(adj)~2=0.839,RMSE_(train)=0.457,Q_(ext)~2=0.708)。采用Williams法对模型的应用域进行表征。所建模型可用于预测多环芳烃、多氯联苯、多溴联苯醚、有机磷农药、药物等典型化合物,以及其他烷烃、环烷烃、烯烃、醇、醚、酸、酯、酮、含卤素化合物、芳香族化合物、含硫、氮、磷化合物的在鱼体内的logt1/2值。     

双酚A类似物雌激素干扰效应的定量结构-活性关系模型

由于双酚A(BPA)具有内分泌干扰等毒性效应,有些国家已经开始限制其在部分工业品生产中使用。一些双酚A类似物因用于替代BPA而被大量使用。因其与双酚A具有相似的分子结构,双酚A类似物是否也具有内分泌干扰等毒性效应受到越来越多的关注。采用逐步多元线性回归(MLR)方法,构建了可预测双酚A类似物雌激素效应的定量结构-活性关系模型。模型的决定系数R~2=0.899,去一法交叉验证系数Q_(LOO)~2=0.868,Bootstrapping验证系数Q_(BOOT)~2=0.755,均方根误差RMSE=0.339,表明模型具有较好的拟合优度、稳健性;验证集决定系数Q_(EXT)~2=0.921,外部验证系数Q_(EXT)~2=0.810,均方根误差RMSE=0.638,表明模型具有较好的预测能力。采用欧几里德距离方法和Wil iams图表征了模型应用域,依据分子描述符对模型进行了机理解释,并用所建模型,填补了22种其他双酚A类似物缺失的雌激素干扰效应数据。     

基于形态修正的描述符构建可电离化合物对大型溞急性毒性的QSAR模型

在环境水体中,可电离有机化合物(IOCs)可解离为分子和离子形态。研究表明,IOCs离子形态的环境行为、毒性效应等都与其分子形态存在较大差异,因而在研究IOCs环境行为、毒性效应时不应忽略离子化的影响。在构建IOCs相关预测模型时如何表征离子化的影响是当前研究的重要内容之一。探讨了采用基于形态修正的描述符构建IOCs水生毒性预测模型的可行性。具体而言,采用逐步多元线性回归(MLR)方法,构建了可预测63种取代酚、取代苯甲酸和取代苯胺等IOCs对大型溞急性毒性的定量结构-活性关系(QSAR)模型。与仅采用分子形态描述符的模型相比,使用基于形态修正描述符的模型决定系数(R2)、去一法交叉验证系数(Q2LOO)、外部验证系数(Q2EXT)等参数从0.622～0.705提高到了0.840～0.875,表明基于形态修正描述符的模型具有更好的拟合优度、稳健性和预测能力。因此,在将来的研究中,可采用基于形态修正的描述符构建IOCs水生毒性效应预测模型。     

15种取代酚对淡水发光菌Q67的毒性及定量构效分析

为了更加准确和便捷地预测各种取代酚类化合物的急性毒性,以淡水发光菌Q67(Vibrio qinghaiensis sp.-Q67)为受试生物,测定了15种典型取代酚的急性毒性;采用logD(正辛醇/水分配系数),LUMO(分子最低空轨道能)和MW(分子量)等取代酚的7种主要结构参数,利用偏最小二乘回归法建立了定量结构-活性相关(quantitative structure-activity relationships,QSAR)模型。结果表明,15种取代酚的EC_(50)在5.76×10~(-6)～1.27×10~(-3)mol·L~(-1)之间,且有很好的剂量-效应关系;QSAR模型的主成分分析显示,-logEC_(50)与logD、LUMO和MW值正相关,且logD对模型的贡献最大,即越容易与Q67菌结合的酚类化合物对其的急性毒性越大;建立的QSAR模型具有较好的预测能力(Q~2_(EXT)=0.91,RMSE=0.49)和较高的稳定性(Q~2_(CUM)=0.58),能够用于预测其他酚类化合物对Q67菌的急性毒性。     

几类有机污染物的微塑料/水分配系数的线性溶解能关系模型

水体中的微塑料会吸附其中的有机污染物,影响有机污染物和微塑料的环境归趋和生态毒性。研究微塑料对有机污染物的吸附行为,对于评价有机污染物和微塑料的环境赋存、迁移及生物有效性有重要意义。污染物在微塑料与水之间的平衡分配系数(Kd),是表征微塑料对有机污染物吸附能力的重要参数。实验方法难以逐个测定众多有机污染物的Kd值,有必要发展其预测模型。本研究搜集了有机污染物的线性溶解能关系(LSER)参数及Kd值,构建了可预测有机污染物在聚丙烯微塑料与海水、聚乙烯微塑料与海水、聚乙烯微塑料与淡水之间Kd值的LSER模型。模型具有良好的拟合优度(R2adj介于0.794~0.903)、稳健性(Q2LOO和Q2BOOT分别介于0.763~0.863和0.720~0.804)和预测能力(R2ext和Q2ext分别介于0.886~0.971和0.825~0.954),能够用于预测多氯联苯、多环芳烃、六氯环已烷和氯苯类有机污染物的Kd值。     

有机化学品不同温度下(过冷)液体蒸气压预测模型的建立与评价

(过冷)液体蒸气压(PL)是评价化学品在环境中分配、迁移和归趋行为的重要参数。PL具有较强的温度依附性。发展一种能够精确预测不同环境温度下化学品PL的方法,有助于填补化学品生态风险评估的大量数据缺失。本研究收集整理了661种有机化合物在不同温度下(200~830 K)共计10 478个log PL值。在此基础上,采用偏最小二乘(PLS)回归和支持向量机(SVM)方法,构建了PL的线性和非线性预测模型。结果表明:2种模型均具有良好的拟合度、稳健性及预测能力,SVM模型的预测性能略高于PLS模型(PLS:R2adj.tra=0.912,RMSEtra=0.477,Q2ext=0.910;SVM:R2adj.tra=0.997,RMSEtra=0.092,Q2ext=0.967)。机理分析表明,温度是影响PL的主要因素,温度越高,蒸气压越大;其次,X1sol也影响PL大小,X1sol用来描述分子间的色散作用,分子间色散力越小,蒸气压越大;此外,化合物的氢键个数、极性和分子构型等因素也影响PL大小。采用Wiliams plot方法表征了PLS模型应用域。所建立的模型可用来预测烷烃、烯烃、醇、酮、羧酸、苯、酚、联苯、卤代芳香烃、含N化合物及含S化合物在不同温度下的PL数据。

污染物的被动采样材料-水分配系数(K_(PW))是衡量被动采样器性能和进行优化的一个重要指标,由于实验方法难以逐个测定众多污染物的K_(PW)值,有必要发展其KP W预测方法。本研究选取聚乙烯(PE)、聚丙烯酸酯(PA)和硅橡胶(SR)3类常用的被动采样材料共7种,采用多元线性回归分析方法构建可用于K_(PW)预测的定量构效关系(QSAR)模型。所构建的QSAR模型具有良好的拟合优度(R2a dj介于0.806~0.989)、稳健性(Q2L O O和Q2B O O T分别介于0.786~0.988和0.773~0.801)和预测能力(R_(ext)~2和Q_(ext)~2分别介于0.769~0.989和0.757~0.982),可以用于预测烷烃、烯烃、芳香类、醇类、酮类、酯类、醚类等多种有机污染物的log KP W值。有机污染物的log KP W与分子Mc Gowan体积(Vx)、氯原子个数(n Cl)、环周长(Rperim)、多重键个数(n BM)、N,O极性贡献的拓扑极性表面积(TPSA(NO))、[-N(=)=]结构个数(Ndds N)和羟基个数(nROH)等参数有关。     

Halogenated metabolites in two marine polychaetes and their planktotrophic and lecithotrophic larvae

This study investigated the occurrence and ontogenetic changes of halogenated secondary metabolites in planktotrophic and lecithotrophic larvae and adults of two common, infaunal polychaetes, Streblospio benedicti (Spionidae) and Capitella sp. I (Capitellidae), with different life-history traits. S. benedicti contains at least 11 chlorinated and brominated hydrocarbons (alkyl halides) while Capitella sp. I contains 3 brominated aromatic compounds. These halogenated metabolites are potential defense compounds benefiting both larvae and adults. We hypothesized that: (1) planktotrophic larvae contain halogenated metabolites because they are not protected by adult defenses, (2) quantitative and qualitative variation of planktotrophic larval halogenated metabolites parallels that of adults, and (3) brooded lecithotrophic larvae initiate the production of halogenated metabolites only after metamorphosis. To address these hypotheses, volatile halogenated compounds from polychaete extracts were separated using capillary gas chromatography and identified and quantified using mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring. All four life stages (pre- and post-release larvae, new recruits, adults) of both S. benedicti and Capitella sp. I contained the halogenated metabolites previously identified from adults. This is the first report of halocompounds identified and quantified in polychaete larvae. Allocation of potential defense compounds to offspring varied as a function of species, feeding type and developmental stage. Pre-release larvae of S. benedicti with planktotrophic development contained the lowest concentration of total halogenated metabolites (1.75 ± 0.65 ng mm⁻³), post-release and new recruits contained intermediate concentrations (8.29 ± 1.72 and 4.73 ± 2.63 ng mm⁻³, respectively), and planktotrophic adults contained significantly greater amounts (28.9 ± 9.7 ng mm⁻³). This pattern of increasing concentrations with increasing stage of development suggests synthesis of metabolites during development. Lecithotrophic S. benedicti post-release larvae contained the greatest concentrations of halometabolites (71.1 ± 10.6 ng mm⁻³) of all S. benedicti life stages and developmental types examined, while the amount was significantly lower in new recruits (34.0 ± 15.4 ng mm⁻³). This pattern is consistent with a previously proposed hypothesis suggesting a strategy of reducing potential autotoxicity during developmental transitions. Pre-release lecithotrophic larvae of Capitella sp. I contained the highest concentration of total halogenated metabolites (1150 ± 681 ng mm⁻³), whereas the adults contained significantly lower total amounts (126 ± 68 ng mm⁻³). All concentrations of these haloaromatics are above those known to deter predation in previously conducted laboratory and field trials. As a means of conferring higher larval survivorship, lecithotrophic females of both species examined may be expending more energy on chemical defenses than their planktotrophic counterparts by supplying their lecithotrophic embryos with more of these compounds, their precursors, or with energy for their synthesis. This strategy appears common among marine lecithotrophic larval forms. Received: 14 July 1999 / Accepted: 20 January 2000
