    Notes: When F. heteroclitus embryos were exposed to inorganic mercury at concentrations of 0.03 or 0.1 mg/1 at the early blastula stage, the percentage of successful axis formation was reduced and a significant proportion of embryos developed cyclopia or intermediate conditions leading to cyclopia. Treatment at the late blastula stage reduced the severity of the defects. Embryos which developed in lead at concentrations of 1 and 10 mg/1 were normal in appearance until hatching, at which time they exhibited lordosis or were unable to uncurl from the position they had while still inside the chorion. No significant effects of cadmium at concentrations up to 10 mg/1 were noted.

    Effects of mercury on larval and adult grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) (1988)
    Springer
    Archives of environmental contamination and toxicology 17 (1988), S. 355-363

    Notes: Abstract Tolerance to mercury in two populations of the grass shrimpPalaemonetes pugio was examined at different stages of this animal's life cycle. One population came from a mercury-contaminated creek, Piles Creek (PC), near industrialized Linden, New Jersey. The other population came from a relatively clean area, Big Sheepshead Creek (BSC), near non-industrialized Tuckerton, New Jersey. Larval grass shrimp showed no significant difference between populations in terms of mortality in 0.01 mg/L HgCl2, although treated BSC larvae metamorphosed significantly (P 〈 0.05) more slowly than their respective control group. While no BSC larvae survived the 0.0125 mg/L methylmercuric chloride (meHg) treatment, PC larvae exposed to 0.0125 mg/L meHg survived as well as their controls, indicating enhanced tolerance to meHg in this population. Adult shrimp were exposed for 14 days to control, 0.025 mg/L meHg, 0.025 mg/L HgCl2, 0.05 mg/L meHg, or 0.05 mg/L HgCl2 PC shrimp were significantly (P 〈 0.05) more tolerant to both 0.025 mg/L meHg, and 0.025 mg/L HgCl2 than were the BSC adults. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis suggests that both populations of shrimp are capable of producing a metallothionein like protein (MT) in response to treatment with HgCl2; MT is found in higher levels in field-caught PC shrimp than in field-caught BSC shrimp. MT was not present in field-collected, viable eggs from either population.

    Toxicity to estuarine organisms of leachates from chromated copper arsenate treated wood (1991)

    Notes: Abstract The effects of chromated copper arsenate (CCA), used for treating wood in docks, pilings, and bulkheads, were studied in several estuarine organisms. Leaching of metals from treated wood into sea water was assayed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Fiddler crabs (Uca pugilator) were subjected to limb removal and were placed in containers with treated wood of various sizes or control wood. Limb regeneration rate was retarded in a dose-dependent fashion and mortality occurred with the treated wood, reaching 100% in the tank with the largest piece of wood. Embryos of the mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) were allowed to develop in culture dishes in which CCA-treated or untreated wood was soaking. Mortality was noted in the dishes with treated wood and to a smaller extent in those with untreated wood. Containers containing CCA-treated wood, control wood, or no wood were stocked first with the algaUlva lactuca, then snails (Nassarius obsoletus). Chlorophyll content of the algae was reduced with the treated wood within a few days, and snails with the treated wood became moribund and died within a few days. In the controls containing untreated wood or no wood, no such effects were seen. Studies with individual or combinations of two or three of the metals with snails and algae indicated that the copper was primarily responsible for the snail mortality and algal bleaching seen in the treated wood experiments. In all experiments, the toxicity of the wood decreased over time; when the experiments were repeated with the same pieces of wood, effects were diminished.

    Notes: Abstract Fertilized eggs of the killifish,Fundulus heteroclitus, were exposed experimentally to methylmercury (MeHg) to evaluate whether this compound induced cytogenetic effects expressed in the embryos. An additional objective was to assess cytogenetically whetherFundulus embryos from groups that were determined to be more susceptible to the teratogenic effects of MeHg were also more susceptible to its mutagenic effects. Embryos exposed to 0.05 mg/L MeHg for 1 and 7 days post-fertilization were preserved in 10% formalin for cytological examination, while unfixed embryos from the same clutches were evaluated for teratogenic effects. Untreated embyros from each clutch served as controls. Cytogenetic-cytological analyses of fixed treated susceptible embryos that exhibited teratogenic effects revealed decreased mitotic counts (5.0-fold), and increased chromosomal aberrations (2.5-fold) when compared to their controls. There were also decreased mitotic counts (∼1.5-fold) and increased chromosomal aberrations (∼2-fold) in embryos from resistant groups when compared to their controls. Exposure to MeHg also retarded development. Forty to fifty percent of the susceptible and resistant control embryos reached the tail-bud stage, but only 28% of the treated resistant and none of the treated susceptible embryos reached this stage. There was also a significant correlation (P 〈 0.05) between teratogenic and mutagenic effects of MeHg in early stages ofFundulus.

    Toxicity of construction materials in the marine environment: A comparison of chromated-copper-arsenate-treated wood and recycled plastic (1992)

    Notes: Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated leaching from chromated-copper-arsenate (CCA)-treated wood, which is used in pilings and bulkheads, and resulting toxicity to various estuarine organisms. The current study compared effects of leachates from CCA-treated wood with those of recycled plastic “lumber,” a possible alternative construction material. Limb regeneration in fiddler crabs, while depressed in leachates from CCA wood, was accelerated in three formulations of recycled plastics. The acceleration was reduced in subsequent trials with the same pieces of plastic. Using a sea urchin fertilization test, no effects were seen in 1- and 3-day leachates from the plastics. However, CCA wood reduced fertilization by 90%, and totally inhibited larval development of those that did fertilize. A smaller piece of wood, one-tenth the size (0.4 cm2), did not have a significant effect on fertilization or development. With 1–3 weeks of leaching, significant reductions in fertilization were seen in sea urchin gametes exposed to one plastic formulation and no fertilization was seen in leachates from the small piece of CCA wood. Two formulations enriched to 30% polystyrene (PS) had no significant effect on fertilization, but did reduce larval growth. When the same pieces of plastic and wood were used for a second set of experiments, all three formulations of plastic, as well as the small piece of wood, inhibited fertilization significantly, and one of the 30% PS formulations and the wood caused reduced larval growth. In another assay, snails and an alga were exposed to plastics for two months with no observed effect; the CCA leachates caused 100% snail mortality within one week and chlorosis of the alga. Chemical analysis by GC/MS revealed a large number of chemicals leached in various quantities from the plastic.

    Notes: Abstract Invasion by Phragmites australis into tidal marshes previously dominated by Spartina alterniflora is viewed as a serious environmental threat along the Atlantic coast of the US, but little is known about the relative habitat value of the two plants for most estuarine species. This study was designed to investigate behavioral responses, in the laboratory, of three species to the two plants. Fiddler crabs, Uca pugnax, grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio, and larval mummichogs (killifish), Fundulus heteroclitus were introduced into aquaria with a bare area, an area with dead Phragmites stems, and an area with dead Spartina stems. All species distributed themselves equally between the Spartina and the Phragmites. The behavior of larval mummichogs in the tanks with predators was observed. In the presence and absence of stems, they utilized the surface of the water as a refuge, as well as the stems, when present. This behavior was equally as effective as being among the stems in promoting larval survival. In microcosms with blocks of marsh with living plants, fiddler crabs and grass shrimp again did not show a preference for either species of plant, while juvenile and adult mummichogs were not consistent. Small fish chose Spartina when in the small microcosm and had no preference in the large one. Large fish chose Spartina in the small microcosm and Phragmites in the large one. Predation by adult mummichogs on grass shrimp was comparable in Spartina and Phragmites microcosms, and predation on tethered shrimp was equivalent in adjacent Spartina and Phragmites marshes in the field.
