Abstract
We evaluated the toxic effects of phenanthrene (PHE) and zinc undecylenate (ZU) on the population growth rate (r) of the marine diatom, Skeletonema costatum. The r of S. costatum was determined after 96 hrs of exposure to PHE (0, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 300 mg L-1) and ZU (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 mg L-1). The results showed that r in the control (the absence of PHE and ZU) was greater than 0.04, while r in the treatment groups decreased with increasing PHE and ZU concentrations. PHE and ZU were shown to reduce r in a dose-dependent manner, with significant decreases occurring at concentrations above 50 and 10 mg L-1, respectively. The EC50 values of r in PHE and ZU exposure were 136.13 and 16.95 mg L-1, respectively. The no observed effect concentrations (NOEC) were 25 and 5 mg L-1, and the lowest observed effect concentrations (LOEC) were 50 and 10 mg L-1. These results indicated that concentrations of greater than 50 mg L-1 of PHE and 10 mg L-1 of ZU in marine ecosystems induced a toxic effect on the r of S. costatum. These results can serve as useful baseline data for the establishment of safety concentrations of PHE and ZU in marine ecosystems.
