Bioassay Study on fresh Water Fish with PCP and DDT

PCP와 DDT의 독성이 담수어에 미치는 영향

Four-day bioassay method was used in this study to find out toxicity levels of DDT and PCP. From this study it was found that M. chrysophekadion was the most sensitive to DDT with a 96 h-TL sub(m) value of 0.0044 mg/l followed by P. Sutchi with a 96 h-TL sub(m) value of 0.0056 mg/l, and the most resistant was C. Siamensis with a 96 h-TL sub(m) value of 0.0133 mg/l. In the case of PCP, it was also found that M. Chrysophekadion and P. Sutchi were the first and second most sensitive to PCP with a 96 h-TL sub(m) value of 0.065mg/l PCP and 0.125mg/l PCP respectively, as in the case of DDT study. T. Nilotica was found to be the most resistant to PCP with a 96 h-TL sub(m) value of 0.264mg/l PCP. The resistant power of fish to pollution varies with the species of fish and the types of pollutants. In order of decreasing sensitivity of fish to DDT based on TL sub(m), the following sequence is obtained M. Chrysophekadion, P. Sutchi, T Nilotica, P. Gonionotus, K. Bicirrhis, L. Bicolor, C. Carpio, R. Heteromorpha, C. Siamensis while in the case of PCP, M. Chrysophekadion, P. sutchi, L. Bicolor, K. Bicirrhis, P. Gonionotus (R. Heteromorpha, R. Trilineata), C. Siamensis, C. Carpio, T. Nilotica.

하천 오염에서 문제시되고 있는 유기오염 물질인 PCP 와 DDT의 환경기준을 평가하고 담수어 어종간의 독성에 대한 저항성을 연구하였다. 각 어종에 대하여 24, 48, 72 및 96시간의 TL sub(m) 값을 산출하였던 바 오염물질에 대한 저항성은 오염물질의 성상에 따라 상이한 양상을 보여주었다. 실험한 10종의 담수어중 PCP 및 DDT에 저항성이 약한 어종은 N. Chrysophekadion으로 96 h-TL 하(m) 값은 0.065mg/l 과 0.0044mg/l으로 각각 나타났으며 PCP에 저항성이 강한 어종은 T. nilotica로서 96 h-TL 하(m) 값은 0.264mg/l이었으나, DDT에 대해서는 C. Siamensis로서 96 h-TL 하(m) 값은 0.0133mg/l로 평가되었다.
