Abstract

Toxic effects of heavy metal (Pb, Cr, As) were examined by the hatching rates of fertilized eggs in the oliver flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. Eggs were exposed to Pb, Cr, As (0, 10, 100, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 ppb) and then normal hatching rates were investigated after 48 h. The normal hatching rates in the control condition (not including heavy metal) were greater than 80%, but suddenly decreased with increasing of heavy metal concentrations. Pb, Cr and As reduced the normal hatching rates in concentration-dependent way and a significant reduction occurred at concentration grater than 100, 100, 500 ppb, respectively. The ranking of heavy metal toxicity was Cr>As>Pb, with $EC_{50}$ values of 415, 518 and 1,029 ppb, respectively. The no-observed-effect-concentration (NOEC) and lowest-observed-effect-concentration (LOEC) show each 100 bbp and 500 ppb of normal hatching rates in exposed to Pb and As. The NOEC and LOEC of normal hatching rates in Cr were 10 ppb and 100 ppb, respectively. From these results, the normal hatching rates of P. olivaceus have toxic effect at greater than the 100 ppb concentrations in Pb, As and the 10 ppb concentrations in Cr in natural ecosystems. These results suggest that biological assay using the normal hatching rates of P. olivaceus are very useful test method for the toxicity assessment of a toxic substance as heavy metal in marine ecosystems.

넙치, Paralichthys olivaceus 수정란의 부화율을 이용하여 중금속(Pb, Cr, As)의 독성 영향을 조사하였다. Pb, Cr, 및 As (0, 10, 100, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 ppb)에 수정란을 48 h 노출시킨 후, 정상 부화율을 백분율로 나타내었다. 중금속을 포함하지 않는 대조구에서는 정상 부화율이 80% 이상을 나타냈으나, 중금속 농도가 증가할수록 정상 부화율은 급격히 감소하였다. 정상 부화율은 Pb, Cr, 및 As에 대해 농도 의존적으로 감소하였으며, 각각 100, 100, 500 ppb 이상의 농도에서 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. P. olivaceus의 정상 부화율에 대한 Pb, Cr 및 As의 반수 영향농도($EC_{50}$)를 이용한 독성은 Cr>As>Pb 순으로 나타났다. Pb와 As의 NOEC와 LOEC 각각 100 ppb와 500 ppb로 유사한 값을 나타냈으며, Cr에 대한 NOEC는 10 ppb, LOEC는 100 ppb를 나타내었다. 이들 결과로부터 자연생태계 내에서 Pb과 As의 농도는 100 ppb, Cr 농도는 10 ppb를 초과할 경우 P. olivaceus 수정란의 정상 부화율은 독성 영향이 나타날 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로, P. olivaceus의 정상 부화율을 이용한 생물학적 평가방법은 중금속과 같은 유해물질에 대한 해양생태계의 영향을 판단하기 위한 시험방법으로 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
