Abstract
This study was to evaluate microcystin production by Microcystis aeruginosa in response to three different levels of indirect (0, 10, 50% of fish cultured media filtrate; control, FCMF1 and FCMF2) exposures to omnivorous and planktivorous fish (Carassius gibelio langsdorfi and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, CCMF and HCMF, repectively). The cell biomass, intracellular microcystin (MC) and extracellular MC were measured everyday. The intracellular MC contents of all treatments were significantly increased than the controls (CCMF1, P=0.015; CCMF2, P<0.001; HCMF1, P<0.001; HCMF2, P<0.001). The intracellular MC contents of M. aeruginosa were significantly higher in CCMF2 than in CCMF1 (P=(0.023), Those of M, aeruginosa in HCMF2 were significantly higher than that in HCMF1 (P<0.001). The extracellular MC contents were not significantly different between control and CCMFs but those of M, aeruginosa in HCMF1 and HCMF2 were significantly higher than that in control (HCMF1, P=0.003; HCMF2, P<0.001). This study strongly supports that induced-defensive MC production (intra and extracellular MC) of potentially toxic cyanobacteria in response to kairomone concentration and this results can consider the biomanipulation of eutrophic waters as well as an information concerning strategies for recovering eutrophic waters.
