Abstract

We investigated survival and osmolarity, oxygen consumption, amonia extetion and filtration rates associated with physiological responses of the tunicate Halocynthia roretzi salinity changes. Acclimation times for osmolatity in different salinities took $20{\sim}26$ hours in 60% SW (19.8 psu) and $20{\sim}25$ hours in 80% SW (26.4 psu), while their times took $7{\sim}8$ hours in 110% SW (36.3 psu). Accordingly, acclimation times for high salinities were faster than those for low salinities. Survival (%) was more than 80% at salinity over 26.4 psu, and 6 $days-LS_{50}$ was 25.4 psu. physiological responses such as oxygen consumption, amonia excretion and filtration rates of H. roretzi showed more clear reactions in the longer exposure period (four days after exposure) than that in the beginning of the exposure. To sum up the results, the tunicate might be stressed from the beginning of the exposure in low salinity.

염분변화에 대한 양식 멍게 Halocynthia roretzi의 생리적 변화를 알아보기 위하여 생존율과 염분감소에 따른 삼투조절능, 산소소비율, 암모니아질소배설률 및 여수율 등의 생리적 반응을 조사하였다. 염분변화에 따른 삼투질농도의 순치시간은 60% 희석해수에서 $20{\sim}46$시간 소요되었으며, 80% 희석해수에서는 $20{\sim}25$시간, 고염분인 110% 해수에서는 노출된 지 $7{\sim}8$시간 만에 순치하여 저염분에 비해 빠르게 순치하였다. 생존율은 염분26.4 psu 이상에서 생존율 80% 이상을 나타내었으며, 6일 동안의 $LS_{50}$은 25.4 psu이었다. 멍게의 산소소비율, 암모니아질소배설률 및 여수율 등의 대사반응은 노출초기에 비해 노출 4일째 증가 혹은 감소의 뚜렷한 반응을 보였으며, O:N비는 노출기간 동안 염분 $26.4{\sim}6.6\;psu$에서 15 이하의 낮은 값을 보이고 있는 것으로 보아 노출초기부터 염분에 대한 스트레스를 심하게 받는 것으로 여겨진다.
