Copepod grazing on the toxic dinofiagellate Dinophysis acuminatafrom the west coast of France (La Rochelle) was studied witha concentrated (4070 µm) phytoplankton assemblagedominated by Leptocylindrus danicus, D.acuminata, Ceratium fususand Ceratium furca. Copepod nauplii were also present. Threeto five copepods/copepodites (Acartia clausi, Isias clavipesand Centropages typicus) were incubated together with the phytoplankton.Dinophysis acuminata was grazed upon by all copepod species.However, to some extent, I.clavipes and C.typicus avoided itas food. Dinophysis acuminata cells represented for them only510% of total ingested carbon during the first 24 h,and almost all individuals survived and thrived well. In contrast,A.clausi did not avoid D.acuminata. which represented 30% ofingested carbon in 1 day. Acartia clausi then had a lower survivalthan the two other copepod species. However, the survival ofA.clausi was high in control incubations, where a plankton communitywithout D.acuminata was used as food. It is concluded that theokadaic acid of D acuminata is potentially toxic to some grazers,and/or might function as an allelopathic grazer repellent. 相似文献

Cooccurrence of elevated urea levels and dinoflagellate blooms in temperate estuarine aquaculture ponds 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In hybrid striped bass aquaculture ponds, dinoflagellate blooms were found on 10 of 14 occasions to co-occur with concentrations of urea in excess of 1.5 microM nitrogen. When urea levels were <1.5 microM nitrogen, on seven occasions, no evidence of dinoflagellate blooms was observed in these ponds. 相似文献

Early warning of toxic dinoflagellate blooms of Gymnodinium catenatum in southern Tasmanian waters 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum (acausative organism of paralytic shellfish poisoning) in theDerwent and Huon estuaries of southern Tasmania, Australia,are predictable, annually recurrent events in the period Januaryto June (late summer to early winter). However, their spatialdistribution, duration and magnitude exhibit significant interannualvariability. High shellfish toxicities in 1986, 1991 and 1993(>8000 µ.g paralytic shellfish poisoning per 100 gshellfish meat) also coincided with the greatest spatial extentof shellfish toxicity (up to 35 shellfish farms closed for periodsup to 6 months). An exploratory analysis of the results of ashellfish toxin monitoring programme conducted from 1986 to1994, and of available hydrological and meteorological datafor the region, indicates that a significant G.catenatum bloomin Tasmanian waters can only develop within a permissive seasonalwater temperature window (>14°C at the time of bloominitiation) requiring a rainfall event as a trigger (Huon Riverdischarge, measured at Frying Pan Creek, must exceed 100 000megalitres over a 3-week period) and a calm stable water columnfor sustained development (windspeed <5 m s1 for periodsof 5 days or more). Once established, dinoflagellate populationsare subject to disturbance by turbulence caused by high windstress;this explains the incidence in some years of multiple shellfishtoxicity peaks. In winter months declining water temperatures(<10°C) and increasing windstress are responsible forthe termination of seasonal dinoflagellate blooms. 相似文献

The effect of ultraviolet radiation on the vertical distribution and mortality of estuarine zooplankton 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The effect of UV-B radiation on the vertical distribution ofthree calanoid copepod species (Tortanus dextrilobatus, Acartiuraspp. and Acanthacartia spp.) and three larval stages of Pacificherring, Clupea pallasi (1-, 7-, and 14-day-old larvae) wasinvestigated. A series of 2 m high columnar tanks equipped withinfra-red light and video-microscopy was used to investigatethe vertical distribution of zooplankton in the presence andabsence of UV-B radiation. In the presence of UV-B radiation,T.dextrilobatus and 1-day-old C.pallasi resided about 50 cmdeeper than in the absence of UV-B, while Acartiura spp. andAcanthacartia spp. showed no (or only minimal) change in verticaldistribution. Mortality experiments were also conducted outdoorsin which each copepod species was exposed to full or reducednatural radiation levels. Only T.dextrilobatus showed an increasein mortality when exposed to full radiation. Our results showedthat T.dextrilobatus and 1-day-old C.pallasi larvae were sensitiveto UV radiation (UVR), and to reduce or eliminate UV-inducedstress, they avoided the surface of the water column when UV-Bradiation was present. Copepod species were chosen to span arange of pigmentation: T.dextrilobatus (heavily pigmented),Acartiura spp. (moderately pigmented) and Acanthacartia spp.(not pigmented). The pigmentation did not appear to play a rolein UVR tolerance of the copepods, but may be a factor determiningUV tolerance of C.pallasi. 相似文献

The paralytic shellfish poison toxin (PST)-producing dinoflagellate, Gymnodinium catenatum, frequently blooms in China, posing a threat to food safety and human health. To understand the drivers of G. catenatum blooms and predict potential habitats for G. catenatum under climate change, samples from occurrence localities and environmental datasets from multiple agencies were aggregated and used to model the habitat suitability of G. catenatum in the China Sea using a maximum entropy model (Maxent). The accumulated variable contributions for the Maxent model were defined to measure the importance of key predictors in the model. The most important environmental variables were distance to the coastline, depth of seawater, and long-term average of the minimum annual temperature. This highlights the main reasons why G. catenatum blooms always occur in coastal waters. Occurrence probabilities higher than 0.66 were defined as habitats with high suitability for shellfish management and aquaculture. Projected habitats with high suitability in Haizhou Bay, coastal waters along the western Taiwan Strait, and Bohai Bay remained stable with increasing temperature by 2100, regardless of the IPCC Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). However, those in the China Sea would be reduced overall, leading to a northward movement of the center of integrated habitats. Habitats with a spatial area of >6000 km2 in the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, and South China Sea and >23,000 km2 in the East China Sea would be exposed to high risk under low greenhouse gas emission scenarios (RCP2.6). 相似文献

In all dinoflagellate species studied to date, the plastid genome is highly reduced, with many genes normally found in the plastid genome found instead encoded by the nucleus. Furthermore, those genes still remaining in the plastid are found as primarily single gene minicircles whose size is typically only 2-3 kb. We show here that the plastid genome architecture in the dinoflagellate Gonyaulax polyedra is unusual for this class of organism. In particular, the psbA gene is associated with DNA of roughly 50-150 kb and appears to have an unusually high complexity. 相似文献

Organisms with sexual and asexual reproductive systems benefit from both types of reproduction. Sexual recombination generates new combinations of alleles, whereas clonality favours the spread of the fittest genotype through the entire population. Therefore, the rate of sexual vs. clonal reproduction has a major influence on the demography and genetic structure of natural populations. We addressed the effect of reproductive system on populations of the dinoflagellate Alexandrium minutum. More specifically, we monitored the spatiotemporal genetic diversity during and between bloom events in two estuaries separated by 150 km for two consecutive years. An analysis of population genetic patterns using microsatellite markers revealed surprisingly high genotypic and genetic diversity. Moreover, there was significant spatial and temporal genetic differentiation during and between bloom events. Our results demonstrate that (i) interannual genetic differentiation can be very high, (ii) estuaries are partially isolated during bloom events and (iii) genetic diversity can change rapidly during a bloom event. This rapid genetic change may reflect selective effects that are nevertheless not strong enough to reduce allelic diversity. Thus, sexual reproduction and/or migration may regularly erase any genetic structure produced within estuaries during a bloom event. 相似文献

Specific toxic effect of dinoflagellate Heterocapsa circularisquama on the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Heterocapsa circularisquama (Dinophyceae), a noxious red tide dinoflagellate, is known to have a specifically lethal effect on shellfish, especially bivalves such as pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata), but no detrimental effects of this alga on fishes have not been observed so far. In this study, we found that H. circularisquama was toxic to a microzooplankton, a rotifer (Brachionus plicatilis) in a cell concentration-dependent manner, while the cultured supernatant or ultrasonic ruptured H. circularisquama had no significant toxic effect on the rotifer. Since no such toxic effects on the rotifer were observed in Chattonella marina, Heterosigma akashiwo, or Cochlodinium polykrikoides, other species of harmful red tide plankton, H. circularisquama may have a strictly specific toxic mechanism against the rotifer as well as bivalves. 相似文献

Response of Gonyaulax tamarensis to the presence of a pycnocline in an artificial water column 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In nature, large concentrations of the toxic bloom-forming dinoflagellate,Gonyaulax tamarensis, are frequently observed in the vicinityof the pycnocline. In the absence of a pycnocline the organismis usually recorded near the surface, where light levels aremore advantageous for photosynthesis. In this paper we examinethe swimming behaviour of G.tamarensis when exposed to varyingdegrees of stratification and investigate whether the maintenanceof a subsurface (pycnocline) population is the result of retentionof the algae by a physical barrier or active accumulation ofthe organisms at a density interface. The study indicates thatG.tamarensis cells presented with a halocline of S<{smalltilde}67 (occurring over a few centimeters) cross thissalinity barrier and accumulate at the highest available photonflux density ({small tilde}100 µmol m2 s1).Cells exposed to a gradient of S>{small tilde}7remain atthe halocline (pfd={small tilde}40 µmol m2 s1).However, when light above the pycnocline is attenuated by theaddition of food colour to the medium, the cells cross a haloclineof S=10 and accumulate at the highest available photon fluxdensity. In the absence of added nutrients (inorganic N andP) the organism fails to exhibit a phototactic response. Thus,the presence of a strong halocline does not represent an inpenetrablephysical barrier for G.tamarensis and the development of pycnoclinepopulations of this organism is a function of density, lightand nutrient climate. 相似文献

The Characterization of Scintillons : Bioluminescent particles from the marine dinoflagellate, Gonyaulax polyedra 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
A new type of biological particle, isolated from the marine dinoflagellate Gonyaulax polyedra, has been partially purified and characterized. When the pH is lowered, the particle emits light in vitro in a fashion closely mimicking the flash of the living cell, and it is referred to as a scintillon (flashing unit). Scintillons are obtained by breaking the cells in buffer at pH 8.2 and purifying by differential and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The particle has a density of about 1.23 g cc-1, and activity is quantitatively correlated with the number of crystal-like birhombohedral structures. These have been found to contain guanine, but since the density of authentic guanine is about 1.73 g cc-1, the scintillon is believed to comprise additional but as yet unidentified components. The properties of the scintillon and the effects of various physical and chemical treatments are described. The reasons for believing that this particle is responsible for the flash of the intact cell are discussed. 相似文献

The association of the first bloom of the toxic dinoflagellateGonyaulax excavata with the frontal system off Peninsula Valds(Argentina), and the presence of resting cysts in sedimentsof the area gave way to the hypothesis of a second bloom duringthe subsequent spring. In this work we report on the resultsobtained after the study of the second bloom. The characteristicsof the frontal system in relation to the development of thephenomenon are analyzed, and latitudinal differences are established.The presence of resting cysts in the plankton of the homogeneousside of the front indicates that the phenomenon is related tothe transportation of these cysts from the sediments to thestratified side of the front, where stability and availabilityof nutrients favor a fast growth. Selection, imposed by turbulence,limits the growth of G. excavata at the homogeneous side wherechain-forming diatoms develop. The presence of the red patchfor a long time suggests a zooplankton-phytoplankton uncoupledinteraction based on the zooplankton exclusion and its replacementby the phagotrophic dinoflagellate Polykrikos schwartzii. Thehighest predation pressure is located at the patch edges ofthe stratified zone. 相似文献

Four toxins have been isolated by Sephadex G-15 and high pressure ion exchange chromatography from the soft shell clams, , which were collected during 1972 and 1974 red tide outbreaks on the New England coast. One of the toxins was saxitoxin and the rest seem to be new toxins. The same toxins were isolated from the extract of cultured . 相似文献
