Gastropods and bivalves were collected at 15 sites at Vancouver and Victoria, Canada between 24 May and 7 June, 1999, to establish tissue concentrations of butyltin and phenyltin compounds, to record imposex symptoms in gastropods, and to assess the present status of organotin contamination around Vancouver. No neogastropods (such as Nucella lima) were found around Vancouver. Neogastropod populations could have been extirpated by severe TBT contamination in Vancouver, as relatively high concentrations of TBT were detected in tissues of Mytilus trossulus from Vancouver, and the neogastropods distributed in Vancouver might be sensitive to TBT. Recovery from imposex, however, was observed in neogastropod populations from three sites at Victoria and Mission Point. TBT contamination has continued around Vancouver, arising from continuous use of TBT in antifouling paints for vessels larger than 25 m in length; however, TBT has decreased around Victoria and Mission Point. Different patterns of TBT accumulation in tissue were observed among the bivalve species from Vancouver. The highest TBT concentration detected in Tresus capax suggested some possible adverse effects. TBT was the most predominant butyltin component in almost all bivalve specimens surveyed, suggesting a low rate of TBT metabolism. Phenyltin compounds were not detected in any molluscan specimens in this study.  相似文献   

Development of two novel CYP-antibodies and their use in a PCB exposure experiment with Mytilus edulis     

Jonsson H  Sandnes KV  Schiedek D  Schneider R  Grøsvik BE  Goksøyr A 《Marine environmental research》2004,58(2-5):655-658

In an attempt to learn more about the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system of mussels, we used protein databases and alignment software to extract highly conserved CYP sequences. From these alignments synthetic peptides were produced and used for rabbit immunisation, which yielded polyclonal antibodies against the CYP families 2 and 4. The antibodies were evaluated with Western Blot and ELISA assays, using digestive gland microsomal samples from the mussel Mytilus edulis. Western Blots revealed immunoreactions for both antibodies. The anti-CYP2 sequence rendered one major immunopositive protein of approximately 49 kDa size, and weak signals for proteins of approximately 41 and 56 kDa size. The anti-CYP4 sequence rendered two major bands of approximately 56 and 59 kDa size, and also a weak immunoreaction with a protein of approximately 43 kDa size. ELISA rendered only weak signals even with a 1:50 dilution of IgG-purified serum. A 10-day exposure to Aroclor 1254 did not appear to affect any of the immunopositive proteins, while total PCBs in soft bodies increased from 14-40 ng/g DW in controls to 373-638 ng/g DW in exposed mussels.  相似文献   

Measurement of DNA single-strand breaks in gill and hemolymph cells of mussels, Mytilus sp., collected on the French Atlantic Coast     

Akcha F  Tanguy A  Leday G  Pelluhet L  Budzinski H  Chiffoleau JF 《Marine environmental research》2004,58(2-5):753-756

DNA single-strand breaks were measured by the comet assay in both gill and hemolymph cells of mussels collected in 3 sampling areas of the French coast (Pointe du Castelli, Pen Bron and Saint-Nazaire Harbour). Whole mussel tissue samples were also collected for the chemical determination of PAH, PCB and heavy metal concentrations. In mussel, a higher level of DNA strand breaks was measured in gill than in hemolymph cells (p < 0.01). Despite a factor of contamination from 2 to 3 between sites, no difference in the extent of mussel DNA strand breaks was shown between sampling locations (p > 0.05), questioning the sensitivity of the assays used in biomonitoring studies.  相似文献

南极沿海伯尔顿盐湖双刺镰状水蚤盐度耐性的季节变化     

王自磐  D.S.埃思莱克  H.R.伯尔顿 《海洋学报》1987,9(6):760-765

双刺镰状水蚤Drepanopus bispinosus为南极沿海伯尔顿盐湖(Burton lake)中的越冬种类之一,其雌性性成熟大约于每年的初冬季节,在随后8个多月的生活史中,经历了一个盐度从33(5月份)到39(11月份)的环境变化.本文报道了该水蚤雌性成体对环境盐度适应的季节差异,动物在冬季的耐低盐能力较夏季强,从冬季到夏季,动物对盐度的适应范围明显地向高盐度方向偏移,这与环境盐度对动物的驯化有关.在低盐水中,动物的呼吸率增高,且夏季大于冬季,因而进一步证实了环境盐度的变化对动物盐度适应性的影响.  相似文献   

胡安·德富卡洋中脊热液体系中地震引起的变化     

H.paul Johnson  周立君 《海洋地质前沿》2001,17(3)

众所周知 ,太平洋东北部洋中脊的热液排放受地震扰动的影响 ,但是这些扰动起因于海底火山活动 ,直到现在 ,也没有观察到热液体系受非岩浆作用的构造事件的影响。这里我们报道了１９９９年６月在明显为构造成因的震群之前、期间和之后从胡安·德富卡海岭的几个热液喷口测量的热液排放的温度。排放流体温度在第一次地震之后４～１１ｄ开始上升 ,第一次上升之后 ,在到达较高温度值之前喷口温度波动了约一个月。我们也观察到了从热液体系中输出的流体在至少８０ｄ内提高了１０倍 ,并沿着整个海岭段延伸。与相对温和的构造活动对应的这样一个大的…  相似文献   

表面波对于混合层中湍流强化作用的实验研究          下载免费PDF全文

贾复  N.H.Thomas 《海洋与湖沼》1985,16(1):28-34

文中介绍了一项二层流体内密度界面处湍流挟卷的实验室研究。实验结果表明,有表面波存在时,混合层下密度界面处的挟卷速度较之无表面波时有明显的增大。这个实验事实的可能的海洋学含义为:不破碎的表面势波对于混合层内湍流有强化的作用,因而成为在考查密跃层变迁问题中应考虑在内的动力因素。  相似文献   

第23章 DNS模式:一种为大洋波浪预报而改进的谱模式     

J.H.Auender  T.P.Barnett  M·Lybanon 《海洋预报》1989,(Z1)

23.1 介绍 模拟与频率和方向相关的大洋波谱F（f,θ）的工作是极其困难的。唯一有点统一的理论（Hasselmann,1967）也还没有简化成一种实用形式。这篇研究中所探讨的是结合零散的,现有的理论,以达到这样一种目的:即发展一种与我们目前对风浪成长谱的了解相一致 ·95.的波谱模式。本章中我们将讨论一种离散的谱模式,这种模式采用了一种改进的能量传播的特征方法。数值方法最早是由Barnett等（1969）提出的。  相似文献   

由偏顶蛤贝壳中稳定同位素剖面追溯海水温度记录     

蔡德陵  A.Margosian  F.C.Tan  K.H.Mann 《海洋科学进展》1988,(3)

本文用在加拿大诺瓦·斯科舍省芬克湾采集到的两只活体偏顶蛤(Modiolus)贝壳上的氧同位素组成重建了过去十年间的底层海水温度记录,它也可作为一种独立的方法来确定贝壳上外生长线的沉积时间。由于对贝壳进行了密集采样(可多至每个贝壳沉积年份取15个样品),贝壳上的δ~(16)O变化反映了芬克湾底层海水的季节性变化。两只贝壳所得的温度剖面符合得很好,说明它们基本上是与真实的环境温度相对应的。本研究证明在海胆疾病爆发时底层海水的温度并没有异常升高,这说明疾病传播的关键因素是带病的生物体,而不是温度。同位素技术也说明了在贝壳外表面上可见的外生长线是年轮性的,它们是在每年冬季最低水温时沉积出来的。  相似文献
