Effects of Metal Exposures on Juvenile Clams, Mercenaria mercenaria

Abstract Elevated metal concentrations occur throughout the coastal zone due to urbanization and various anthropogenic activities. The lethal concentrations (i.e. LC values based on acute toxicity) for many metals are available for various mollusc species in the literature (Calabrese et al. 1973, Eisler 1977, Chung 1980, Harrison et al. 1984, Ringwood 1990). However, short term exposure studies and lethal tests may not provide an adequate appreciation of the potential chronic toxicity of metals. The concentrations of toxicants required for short term lethal tests are usually much higher than those typically observed in polluted systems. - In part, this is a function of the fact that many metals function as important micronutrients and co-factors (copper, zinc, nickel), whereas others are always considered toxic (cadmium, lead). Regardless, at high enough concentrations, all metals are toxic.It is important that the potential effects of lower sublethal, environmentally realistic concentrations of metals, particularly on sensitive life history stages, are realized. The effects of sublethal concentrations of five common pollutant metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn) on 7 day growth of juvenile (i.e. seed) clams, Mercenaria mercenaria, were evaluated. Growth was significantly decreased by the 7 day exposures to Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in a dose-dependent manner. When the data are reported as metal concentrations in ug/L, the order of metal toxicity, from most toxic to least toxic, was: Cu > Cd > Zn > Pb > Ni. However, if these results are expressed in molar units, the 7 day growth EC50 values would then be Cu = 0.46, Cd = 0.77, Pb = 2.19, Zn = 4.72, Ni = 24.52 uM/L, so Zn and Pb would reverse. The results from these studies are compared to other bivalve metal exposure studies evaluating sublethal endpoints. The data generated from this study are appropriate for use in the calculation of interstitial water toxic units (IWTUs) and the determination of various bioavailability indices. These studies serve to highlight the toxicity of metals, especially Cu, to the various developmental stages of bivalves.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
