Abstract

Acute toxicity test of heavy metal (Cd, Cu, Zn) were examined using the hatching rates of fertilized eggs in the oliver flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. Eggs were exposed to Cd, Cu, Zn (0, 10, 100, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000 ppb) and then normal hatching rates were investigated after 48 h. The normal hatching rates in the control condition (not including Cd, Cu and Zn) were greater than 80%, but suddenly decreased with increasing of heavy metal concentrations. Cd, Cu and Zn reduced the normal hatching rates in concentration-dependent way and a significant reduction occurred at concentration grater than 1000, 100, 100 ppb, respectively. The ranking of heavy metal toxicity was Zn>Cu>Cd, with $EC_{50}$ values of 584, 1015 and 1282 ppb, respectively. The no-observed-effect-concentration (NOEC) and the lowest-observed-effect-concentration (LOEC) showed each 100 and 500 ppb of normal hatching rates in exposed to Cu and Zn. The NOEC and LOEC of normal hatching rates in Cd were 500 ppb and 1000 ppb, respectively. From these results, the normal hatching rates of P. olivaceus have toxic effect at greater than the 100 ppb concentrations in Cu, Zn and the 500 ppb concentrations in Cd in natural ecosystems. These results suggest that biological assay using the normal hatching rates of P. olivaceus are very useful test method for the acute toxicity assessment of a toxic substance as heavy metal in marine ecosystems.

넙치(Paralichthys olivaceus) 수정란의 부화율에 대한 중금속(Cd, Cu, Zn)의 급성독성을 조사하였다. Cd, Cu 및 Zn (0, 10, 100, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000 ppb)에 수정란을 48 h 노출시킨 후, 정상 부화율을 백분율로 나타내었다. Cd, Cu 및 Zn을 포함하지 않는 대조구에서는 정상 부화율이 80% 이상을 나타냈으나, 중금속 농도가 증가할수록 정상 부화율은 급격히 감소하였다. 정상 부화율은 Cd, Cu 및 Zn에 대해 농도 의존적으로 감소하였으며, 각각 1000, 100, 100 ppb 이상의 농도에서 유의적이 차이를 나타내었다. P. olivaceus의 정상 부화율에 대한 Cd, Cu 및 Zn의 반수영향농도($EC_{50}$)를 이용한 독성은 Zn>Cu>Cd 순으로 강한 것으로 나타났으며, 이들 중금속에 대한 $EC_{50}$는 각각 584, 1015, 1282 ppb를 나타내었다. Cd에 대한 NOEC는 500 ppb를 나타냈고 LOEC는 500 ppb를 나타내었다. Cu와 Zn의 NOEC와 LOEC 각각 100 ppb와 500 ppb로 유사한 값을 나타내었다. NOEC와 LOEC 결과로부터 자연생태계 내에서 Cu와 Zn 농도는 100 ppb, Cd 농도는 500 ppb를 초과할 경우 P. olivaceus 수정란의 정상 부화율은 감소할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로, P. olivaceus의 정상 부화율을 이용한 생물학적 시험은 중금속과 같은 유해물질에 대한 해양생태계의 영향을 판단하기 위한 시험방법으로 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
