Abstract

We examined the effects of the vibration stress on oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion of cultured soft-shelled turtle, Pelodiscus sinensis. For the stressed group vibration of $45{\sim}78\;dB$ (V) from electric vibrator was turned on for 15 min with 2-h intervals during daytime hours ($08:00{\sim}18:00$) for 28 days. Two different sizes of soft-shelled turtle, large (carapace length: $12{\sim}16\;cm$, body weight: $300{\sim}600\;g$, large size turtle: LST) and middle ($16{\sim}20\;cm,\;700{\sim}1,000\;g$, middle size turtle: MST) were used. The oxygen consumption of LST the beginning of the experiment (1 day) was 124.30 mg $O_2/kg/hr$, and after 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of stress decreased by 47.2, 71.6, 79.1 and 86.0%, respectively. In MST, oxygen consumption of beginning day was 66.04 mg $O_2/kg/hr$, and after 28 days of stress decreased by 76.5%. Ammonia nitrogen excretion showed a similar pattern to that of oxygen consumption. Ammonia nitrogen excretion of beginning of the experiment was 0.537 mg N/kg/hr, and after 28 days of stress decreased by 75.4% for LST, and by 74.3% for the middle ones. From in this study it was showed that the physiological activity was reduced by 50% following 8.4 days of vibration stress for LST, and 15.5 days for MST.

양식 자라, Pelodiscus sinensis를 사용하여 진동 스트레스에 노출될 때 나타나는 생리적 반응의 단기적 지표로서 산소소비량(호흡)과 암모니아 배설량 변화를 조사하였다. 자라는 대형(갑장: $16{\sim}20\;cm$, 체중: $700{\sim}1,000\;g$)와 중형(갑장: $12{\sim}16\;cm$, 체중: $300{\sim}600\;g$)으로 구분하여, 1.5 ton 크기의 FRP 수조에 20마리씩 수용하였다. 진동 자극은 자체 제작한 진동기(vibrator)에 타임머를 연결하여, 하루 중 주간($08:00{\sim}18:00$)에만 2시간 간격으로 15분씩 28일 동안 매일 스트레스 자극을 주었다. 진동의 크기는 $45.0{\sim}68.2$(평균 56.6) dB(V) 였으며, 대조군 자라는 진동의 영향이 없는 별도의 사육수조에서 정상적으로 사육하면서 실험에 사용하였다. 연구결과, 진동 자극은 자라에 상당한 스트레스 요인으로 작용한 것으로 나타났다. 산소소비량 및 암모니아 배설량 등에서 체내 항상성이 스트레스 자극 10일 이후 생리활성도가 50% 이하로 감소하여 항상성 유지를 위한 모든 에너지를 소비하여 생리적 피폐기로 폐사직전인 것으로 나타났다. 자라는 다른 수산 생물과는 다르게 스트레스 상황에 처해 있을 때, 체외로 나타나는 징후가 뚜렷하지 않아 본 연구에서 나타난 산소소비와 암모니아 배설량은 자라의 생리적 활성도를 조사하는데 기초자료로 유용하게 사용될 것으로 판단된다.
