Abstract

Indigenous species are needed for more accurate toxicity assessments in tropical regions. Thus, we determined not only the optimum culture conditions for stable maintenance of Nitocra sp. isolated from tropical regions but also the availability of copepods for marine ecotoxicological evaluation. Experiments on temperature, salinity, and diet as factors for optimum culture conditions as well as acute and chronic toxicity tests for ecotoxicological assessment were carried out. Data on optimum culture conditions were analyzed for statistically significant observations using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Optimum temperature and salinity for Nitocra sp. were $29^{\circ}C$ and 24~39‰, and Nitocra sp. fed Tetraselmis suecica had relatively faster development and higher survival than other microalga. Under optimum culture conditions, toxicity tests were carried out. The $LC_{50}$ level and NOEC (no observed effect concentration) levels of copper and arsenic were calculated in the acute toxicity test. In the chronic test of Cu and As, developmental time and survival traits were usable endpoints for toxicity assessments. As a result, tropical copepod Nitocra sp. seems to be a potential candidate organism for marine ecotoxicological evaluation.

열대지역과 같은 특정지역에서 오염물질의 독성평가 시, 그 지역의 생태환경에 적합한 위해성평가를 위해서는 그 지방 고유의 생물에 대한 독성실험이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구는 열대에서 분리한 열대 요각류 Nitocra sp.를 독성실험생물로 사용하기 위해 이들을 안정적으로 배양/유지하기 위한 최적배양환경조건과 해양생태독성평가 가능성을 조사하였다. 최적 배양환경요인으로 수온, 염분 및 먹이에 대해 조사하였으며 생태독성평가는 급성독성과 만성독성 실험으로 나누어 실시하였다. 최적배양조건 실험데이터의 통계분석을 위해 One-way ANOVA test를 실시하였다. 최적배양환경조건을 조사한 결과, Nitocra sp.는 수온 $29^{\circ}C$, 염분 24~34‰에서 먹이로 Tetraselmis suecica를 공급하였을 때, 비교적 빠른 발달기간과 높은 생존율을 보였다. 최적배양조건을 바탕으로 구리와 비소에 대한 독성평가를 실시한 결과, 구리와 비소의 각 노출농도에 따라 민감하게 잘 반응해서 반수치사농도 즉 $LC_{50}$값과 영향을 미치지 않는 농도인 NOEC값을 얻을 수 있었다. 만성독성시험 결과, 구리와 비소노출 모두, 성비와 생산력은 유의적인 차이가 없었던 반면, 발달기간과 생존율은 농도에 따라 반응을 보였기 때문에 종말점으로 사용이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 종합해 보았을 때, 열대 요각류인 Nitocra sp.는 열대 해양독성물질 평가를 위한 생태독성실험생물로 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단되며 차후 다양한 독성물질의 평가에 활용이 기대된다.
