Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of shaking stress in the hemolymph of the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum by quantification of nitric oxide (NO) levels. The clams were divided into 3 groups as follows: clams placed in a plain container (control), clams injected with nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (NAME, an NO inhibitor), and clams in a container filled with nylon fiber at a density of $1kg/m^3$. Subsequently, each group was placed in sea water and shaken at 100 rpm for 6 h. The concentration of NO was quantified by using DAF assay and Griess assay. Both the assays showed that while shaking significantly increased the NO concentration, the NO inhibitor reduced the NO concentration in the hemolymph of the clams tested. In addition, the nylon fiber, which was used as a filler, effectively prevented the increase in NO concentration. This result suggests that measurement of NO concentration is a useful tool for evaluation of physiological stress in marine bivalves. In addition, it should be considered that a filler is necessary when dredge fishing or the suspended clam culture method is developed.

본 연구는 바지락이 흔들림 스트레스에 노출될 경우 나타나는 생리적 변화를 측정하기 위하여 일산화질소량 (NO) 을 측정하였다. 이를 위하여 흔들림 방지 장치가 없는 그룹, NAME (NO 저해제) 를 주사한 그룹, 나일론 섬유 충전재(밀도 $1kg/m^3$) 로 흔들림이 방지된 그룹 등 총 3개 그룹으로 나눈 후 교반기에서 100 rpm으로 6시간동안 교반 한 후 DAF assay와 Griess assay를 이용하여 바지락 혈림프액의 NO 농도를 측정하였다. 조사결과 흔들림 스트레스에 노출된 바지락에서 NO 농도가 급격히 증가하였고 반면 NO 저해제가 주입된 바지락에서는 NO 농도가 감소하였다. 또한 흔들림 방지 장치가 들어간 그룹에서 NO 농도가 감소함이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 DAF assay와 Griess assay 실험에서 모두 동일하게 나타났다. 결론적으로 NO 측정은 바지락의 생리적 스트레스를 측정하는데 유용한 방법임이 확인되었으며, 형망에 의한 바지락 채취시나 수하식으로 양식할 경우 흔들림에 의한 스트레스를 방지할 수단이 필요함을 시사하였다.
