Abstract

The ecosystem provides a diverse array of environmental conditions for organisms, and only those that are capable of successfully adapting to these conditions within their habitats can endure, thrive, and proliferate. Further, the environmental conditions within these habitats can significantly affect the bioavailability of chemicals that are introduced therein, thus resulting in varied adverse impacts on the organisms. The present study aims to evaluate the sensitivity of Yuukianura szeptyckii - a species adapted to riparian - to heavy metals following ISO guideline 11276, with the objective of assessing its potential as an indicator species for ecotoxicological evaluations in riparian habitats. The findings revealed that cadmium and copper both had significant toxic effects depending on their concentrations. For cadmium, the LC50 was 280 mg kg-1, EC50 was 66 mg kg-1, and NOEC and LOEC were 25 and 50 mg kg-1, respectively. For copper, the LC50 was 911 mg kg-1, EC50 was 151 mg kg-1, and LOEC was 50 mg kg-1. Comparative analysis with previous results for the international standard species Folsomia candida and the domestic standard species Allonychiurus kimi indicated that Y. szeptyckii exhibited even greater sensitivity to toxicity values. The adverse effects on survival and reproduction were closely associated with the influx concentration of heavy metals in their bodies. Altogether, the results suggest that Y. szeptyckii is a sensitive species for ecotoxicological assessments in riparian habitats, thus making it suitable as an indicator species, particularly in riparian ecosystems that are characterized by relatively high humidity conditions.

생태계는 생물에게 매우 다양한 환경조건의 서식처를 제공하며 이 서식처 내에 적응한 생물만이 생존, 성장, 번식하며 해당 서식처에 살아가게 된다. 또한 서식처의 환경조건들은 서식처로 유입한 화학물질의 생물유효도(bioavailability)에 크게 영향을 미쳐 생물들이 받는 부정적 영향이 서로 다를 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 생태독성평가에 적합한 ISO guideline 11276의 독성평가 표준종 중 토양 생태계에 다양한 서식처 조건 중 수변 생태계에서 적응하여 살아가는 Yuukianura szeptyckii의 중금속에 대한 평가 민감성을 확인하고 수변 서식처 중금속 생태독성평가종으로서의 가능성을 확인하는 데 있다. 결과는 카드뮴과 구리 모두 농도에 따른 유의한 독성영향을 보였다. 카드뮴의 경우 LC50은 280 mg kg-1, EC50은 66 mg kg-1, NOEC와 LOEC는 각각 25, 50 mg kg-1으로 나타났으며 구리의 경우에는 LC50은 911 mg kg-1, EC50은 151 mg kg-1, LOEC는 50 mg kg-1으로 나타났다. 기존의 국제표준종인 Folsomia candida와 국내표준종인 Allonychiurus kimi의 이전 결과와 비교하면 더욱 민감한 독성값을 보였으며, 이러한 생존과 번식에 미치는 부정적 영향은 체내의 중금속의 유입 농도와 밀접한 관련을 보였다. Y. szeptyckii는 수분 함량이 높은 토양에서 중금속 생태독성평가에 민감한 종으로 나타났으며, 상대적으로 높은 습도를 보일 가능성이 높은 수변생태계에 적합한 생태독성평가종으로 사용이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.
