The Elizabeth River is Virginia's most heavily populated, industrialized and contaminated subestuary. Its sediments contain the residues of wastes discharged for several hundred years. To examine some of the effects of sediment from a particularly noxious location, we chose the spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), a bottom-feeding sciaenid and naturally occurring spring-summer migrant of the river whose juveniles adapt readily to laboratory conditions. Spot from the Ware River, a nearby uncontaminated reference subestuary, were placed in two 380 liter (100 USgal), flow-through tanks (70 each). One tank contained Elizabeth River sediments contaminated with PAHs. The second tank contained uncontaminated sediment from the York River as a control. 13 spot each were placed in two aquaria that received the overflow from the sediment-containing tanks. Animals from the reference estuary were examined and processed to provide baseline information.Results obtained to date show the following: (1) spot experimentally exposed to contaminated sediment developed penetrating integumental lesions within 8 days after exposure began and later severe fin and gill erosion; (2) their hematocrits were significantly reduced and no weight gain occurred; (3) pancreatic and liver alterations were observed in some of the chemically stressed fish; (4) control fish exhibited no fin erosion or integumental lesions; (5) control fish showed no hematocrit or growth reduction; and (6) dead fish were first observed in the contaminated-sediment tank after 8 days while no control fish died. Clearly, one or more factors associated with Elizabeth River sediments and/or water closely associated with those sediments (probably the heavy concentrations of PAHs) are capable of causing serious injury, disease and death in experimental spot populations.  相似文献

A recently developed spectrophotometric technique was used to examine the effect of environmental pollutants on pinocytosis by fish macrophages. Spot, Leiostomus xanthurus, and hogchoker. Trinectes maculatus, were captured from the York River, a relatively non-polluted ricer, and from the Elizabeth River, known to be highly contaminated with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Kidney cell types were separated by density gradient centrifugation and single cell suspensions of macrophages were used in in vitro studies. The pinocytic activity of kidney macrophages from spot and hogchoker was determined by means of a colorimetric assay of ingested neutral red dye. It was found that the pinocytic activity of macrophages from spot exposed to contaminated waters did not differ from control values. However, there was a two-fold increase in pinocytic activity in pollutant-stressed hogchoker. It is proposed that hogchoker could serve as an indicator species to monitor pollution effects in the environment.  相似文献

The goal of these experiments was to explore the relationship between cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) induction and the teratogenicity of sediments from the Atlantic Wood Industries Superfund site (Elizabeth River, VA) in Fundulus heteroclitus embryos. In these experiments we used embryos spawned from reference site adults to assess CYP1A activity and teratogenicity induced by aqueous Elizabeth River sediment extracts (ERSE). Embryo exposures to ERSE induced CYP1A activity and caused deformities, including pericardial edema, heart elongation and tail shortening. Co-exposures with various CYP1A inhibitors significantly decreased CYP1A activity and increased the teratogenicity of the sediment extract. Potential mechanisms for this increased toxicity are discussed herein.  相似文献

Aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were measured in young-of-the-year feral fish collected between June and October 1985 from three stations in the highly polluted Elizabeth River and from one reference station in the relatively unpolluted Ware River. AHH activity increased to a peak in July and September, and then declined in October whereas SOD activity increased throughout the study period. Both AHH and SOD activities were higher in fish from the Elizabeth River stations than those from the Ware River.Fish condition factor was measured for all fishes. These values were lower than the values found in the literature for a site located in South Carolina, but did not differ among the four stations sampled in the present study.  相似文献

A luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (CL) assay is currently being developed and tested with macrophages isolated from the kidneys of spot (Leiostomus xanthrus) and hogchoker (Trinectes maculatus). Both peak amplitude and time of maximum response have been observed to vary with the species tested and the stimulus used. In York River (reference), spot zymosan elicited the most immediate response with a peak at 18 min, while the response induced by Staphylococcus aureus was delayed (28 min). In York River (reference) hogchoker, the most immediate response was induced by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) with a peak at 7min. S. aureus and zymosan elicited somewhat delayed responses (13 min and 15 min, respectively). Macrophages from spot captured in the Elizabeth River, which is highly contaminated with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), were markedly deficient in generating a zymosan-induced CL response compared with York River reference fish. Spot exposed in the laboratory to contaminated sediments showed a similar decrease in the CL response.  相似文献

A population of killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) inhabiting a creosote-polluted inlet of the Elizabeth River demonstrates tolerance to the acute toxic effects exerted by contaminated sediments on reference site killifish. Previous data have suggested that upregulated antioxidant defenses contribute to short-term tolerance in killifish exposed to Elizabeth River sediments. This study investigated population differences in antioxidant defenses from wild caught Elizabeth River and reference population killifish in different seasons, and after being held in the laboratory. Parameters measured in the killifish were total glutathione concentrations (GSHT), activities of glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and lipid peroxidation (LPO), all in adult hepatic tissues. The Elizabeth River population exhibited greater GSHT, higher GPx activities, and increased LPO as compared to the reference population. Sex specific population differences were also observed in GSHT and GPx. Both populations displayed decreased GSHT and increased GR from early to late summer, as well as after being held in the laboratory. This study indicates that there are many factors that may contribute to differences in levels of antioxidant defenses in addition to exposure to contaminants, including reproductive status and environmental conditions.  相似文献

English sole (Pleuronectes vetulus) and starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) are two sympatric flatfish species which show markedly different responses to chemical contaminant exposure. Whereas English sole develop hepatic neoplasms, the prevalences of which are strongly linked to exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), evidence of neoplasia is virtually nonexistent in starry flounder, even those residing in areas with very high levels of PAH in the sediments. Because PAHs are activated to genotoxic forms by the action of cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) in teleosts, we are examining the hypothesis that variation in the hepatic expression of this major inducible cytochrome P450 isozyme may contribute to the differential contaminant response. These two species were captured in the Duwamish Waterway, a contaminated area of Puget Sound, Washington. Catalytic activity of CYP1A [determined as aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity] was measured in the liver to quantitatively assess the relative induction of CYP1A in these two species, and AHH activity was significantly higher in English sole than in starry flounder (p = 0.015). Cellular expression of CYP1A was determined by immunohistochemical localization of tissues, using an avidin-biotin peroxidase complex method, with polyclonal rabbit anti-cod CYP1A. The results showed a markedly reduced expression of CYP1A in hepatocytes of starry flounder, which is consistent with the apparent resistance of this species to the development of hepatocellular neoplasia. This reduced expression of CYP1A in hepatocytes of contaminant-exposed fish was previously seen in oyster toadfish from the Elizabeth River, Virginia, and this species is also apparently resistant to hepatocellular neoplasia.  相似文献

刀鲚(Coilianasus)是长江珍稀名贵的生殖洄游性、肉食性鱼类,自2020年1月1日0时起,长江10年内全面禁止刀鲚生产性捕捞。与此同时,衍生出刀鲚池塘养殖、工厂化养殖和网箱养殖模式,在这些养殖模式中,由于刀鲚长期处于肥水和高密度的养殖环境内,自身处于不安全的状态下,造成自身的免疫机能受到抑制和抗病力下降,导致养殖成活率低或大量死亡现象,造成刀鲚养殖规模一直没有大的进展。本研究通过对刀鲚各个生长发育过程的特征解析,将刀鲚生活史划分为水花开口、乌仔、稚鱼(夏花)、幼鱼和成鱼5个生长阶段,同时将刀鲚养殖所涉及的生态系统划分为浮游植物、原生动物、轮虫(卵)、枝角类、桡足类、底栖动物幼体、鱼(虾)苗、软靡、微囊配合饲料和有机碎屑、微生物8个层次,通过结合非生态系统构建了刀鲚生态养殖系统模式。通过构建该生态养殖模式对刀鲚养殖模式进行更加深入的研究和探讨,从而助力刀鲚产业的快速发展。  相似文献

The structure and temporal variations of the fish community in salt marshes of Chinese estuaries are poorly understood. Fish utilization of a salt marsh intertidal creek in the Yangtze River estuary was studied based on quarterly sampling surveys in July and November, 2004, and February and May, 2005. Fishes were collected by consecutive day and night samplings using fyke nets during the ebbing spring tides. A total of 25,010 individuals were caught during the study. 17 families and 33 species were documented, and the most species-rich family was Gobiidae. Three species, Synechogobius ommaturus, Chelon haematocheilus and Lateolabrax maculatus together comprised 95.65% of the total catch, which were also the most important commercial fishery species in the Yangtze River estuary. The fish community was dominated by juvenile individuals of estuarine resident species. Time of year significantly affected fish use of salt marshes, but no significant effects of diel periodicity on the fish community were found except for fish sampling in July. These findings indicate that salt marshes in the Yangtze River estuary may play important nursery roles for fish community.  相似文献

We documented the temporal occurrence patterns and habitat use of fish in the Mangyeong River estuary on the western coast of Korea from February to December 2003 based on monthly samples collected with a stow net. A total of 46 fish species were collected during the study period. Chelon haematocheilus, Konosirus punctatus, Neosalanx jordani, Sardinella zunasi, Synechogobius hasta, and Thryssa kammalensis were the predominate species, accounting for 84.4% of the collected fish. We classified the fish as brackish water (BF), coastal migratory (CMF), diadromous (DF), or freshwater (FF) fish. BF such as C. haematocheilus, S. hasta, and Coilia nasus were the most abundant and were collected almost year-round. As water temperatures increased in spring, adult CMF, such as K. punctatus, S. zunasi, T. kammalensis, T. adelae, Johnius grypotus, Miichthys miiuy, and Larimichthys polyactis, entered the estuary. In summer, large numbers of their juvenile offspring were caught, indicating a peak in fish abundance. The juveniles grew in the estuary before moving out to deeper waters for overwintering. Diadromous juveniles, such as those of Anguilla japonica (commonly known as glass eel), were collected in the spring during their upstream migration. FF, such as Carassius cuvieri and Acheilognathus rhombeus, were collected during the rainy season. In terms of the number of species, the number of individuals, and the biomass, the ratio of BF to all other fish type classifications in the Mangyeong Estuary (without a dam) was higher than that in the Geum River estuary (with a dam). The fish assemblage in the Mangyeong Estuary still maintained estuarine characteristics before dike enclosure, providing habitats for BF, nursery grounds for CMF, and migratory pathways for DF.  相似文献

Previous research had documented prevalent liver neoplasia within feral fish populations from half a dozen polluted waterways of North America.1–3 A brown bullhead, Ictalurus nebulosus, population in the Black River, Ohio, had a 33% prevalence of grossly observable liver tumors in fish older than 2 years compared to 0 % in 249 bullhead from a reference location (Buckeye Lake).4 To approximate the actual prevalence of gross plus microscopic lesions combined in the Black River population, we captured 125 bullhead at least 250 mm in length in 1982. Livers were preserved for histopathology and pectoral fin spines were removed for aging. On average, each liver was sectioned at five levels for diagnosis. Bullheads (whole fish) and Black River sediment were analyzed for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as previously reported.4,5 Bullheads were found to have a higher incidence of liver tumors than was grossly apparent and to contain elevated levels of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).  相似文献

The fecundity of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) was estimated from maturing fish captured by anglers in the lower Waitaki River in 1985 and 1987–89, and from mature fish spawned at the Glenariffe Research Station on the Rakaia River in 1992. Fecundity was positively correlated with fork length (FL); estimated fecundities at 750 mm FL were 5024 eggs for Waitaki and 4829 eggs for Glenariffe salmon. The slopes of the regressions of fecundity on FL differed between the populations but the Glenariffe data did not differ from Rakaia River samples from 1967, 1973, and 1976. Significant inter‐annual variation in the FL‐fecundity relationship was detected in Waitaki River samples. Egg weights, taken from the Glenariffe samples, were positively correlated with length and averaged 0.17 g. However, salmon with high fecundity for their FL tended to have small eggs, and vice versa.  相似文献
