摘要:Effects of five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) constituents (naphthalene,fluorine,fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene,pyrene) on fertilization and early development of sea urchin egg,sperm and fertilized egg were investigated. The eggs,sperm and fertilized eggs were exposed to several concentrations of PAHs (1,10, 100,1000 and 10000 µg/L). The rate of fertilization and hatching decreased when the eggs and sperm were exposed to aqueous solution of PAHs. Also,Exposure of fertilized eggs with each PAHs did decrease survival and hatching rate. Concentration-dependent toxic effects on the rate of fertilization,hatching,survival and abnormality in A. crassispina were observed following exposure to PAHs (1,10,100,1000 and 10000 µg/L). These data show that PAHs exposure decreased in fertilization success of sea urchin egg and sperm and producted abnormal embryo. It is plausible to suggest that PAHs had the potential to significantly reduce coastal recruitment of sea urchin.
