摘要

Toxins synthesized by marine benthic dinoflagellates may be transferred towards higher trophic levels via cell ingestion. Okadaic acid (OA) and other compounds produced by benthic Prorocentrwn species are associated with acute and lethal fish responses, but its sublethal effects are barely known. The toxicity of low and intermediate P. lima concentrations to the ringneck blenny Parablennius pilicornis was evaluated through short-term food chain transfer experiments using brine shrimps as primary grazers of toxic cells and, subsequently, as fish prey. Fish activity level, opercular beat frequency, feces biomass, condition factor, and hepatosomatic index were used as toxicity proxies. We hypothesized that sub-lethal concentrations of DSP toxins will affect fish responses, but the strength of these effects will be mediated by the initial somatic condition of exposed individuals. Increased opercular beat frequencies were recorded in fish from the treatment with the highest P. lima concentration provided to brine shrimps, contrasting with rather variable and low opercular beat frequencies from the control. Fish fed with brine shrimps exposed to low and intermediate concentrations of P. lima showed a great inter-individual variation in activity level and particularly in opercular beat frequency, wherein the initial condition factor of exposed individuals appeared to have broadly mediated these fish responses. The presence of P. lima all year round in benthic marine systems highlights a possible chronic exposure of fish to OA and fish will likely become more susceptible to predation in natural environments, facilitating, therefore, toxin transfer through marine trophic webs.
