Abstract

To understand the ecotoxicological differences between representative Skeletonema sp. and Dunaliella tertiolecta, both producers as international standard test species for marine ecotoxicity testing, we compared each standard test method, and comparatively analyzed the suitability of the species for environmental assessment and their sensitivity to various test substances. Although most of the test conditions were the same in each method, there were differences in limitation of pH changing and the initial inoculation density in the validation criteria, which is supposed to originate from the low growth rate of D. tertiolecta. In terms of suitability, both species showed consistency in test performance by repeatedly meeting the validation criteria required by the standard test methods. The salinity ranges available for testing were 20 and 10 psu for Skeletonema sp. and D. tertioelecta, respectively. Finally, regarding sensitivity, the toxicity sensitivity of Skeletonema sp. was relatively higher than that of D. tertiolecta for the reference toxicant, actual polluted water discharged (ballast water), and other chemicals. This implies that using at least two species of microalgae from different classification groups could help increase the reliability and objectivity of test results in the performance of marine ecotoxicity tests using producers.

해양생태독성시험의 국제표준시험종 중 생산자에 속하는 대표적인 Skeletonema sp.와 Dunaliella tertiolecta의 생태독성학적 차이점을 알아보기 위해 각 표준시험법(규격)을 비교하였고 환경에 대한 종 적합성과 다양한 시험물질에 대한 민감도를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 시험법의 경우 대부분 동일하였으나 시험 유효성의 기준에서 pH 변화 제한과 초기접종밀도에서 차이가 나타났으며 이는 D. tertiolecta의 낮은 성장률에 기인된 것으로 추정된다. 적합성에서는 두 종 모두 규격에서 요구하는 유효성의 기준을 연속 만족하여 시험수행의 일관성을 보였고 시험한계 염분범위는 Skeletonema sp.와 D. tertiolecta 각각 20 및 10 psu로 나타났다. 마지막으로 민감도의 경우, 시험규격에서 제시하는 참조물질, 실제 오염 배출수(선박평형수) 및 기타 다양한 화학물질에서 모두 Skeletonema sp.가 D. tertiolecta에 비해 독성 민감도가 상대적으로 높음을 확인하였으며 이는 해양생태독성시험 수행에 있어 생산자를 이용한 시험의 경우 최소 2종 이상의 다른 분류군의 미세조류를 이용하는 것이 시험결과의 신뢰성과 객관성을 높일 수 있는 방법임을 시사한다.
