Abstract
Copepods, the dominant member of zooplankton and major grazers of phytoplankton in the pelagic ecosystem, are at risk from exposure to antifouling biocides. To evaluate the developmental toxicity of antifouling biocides (Diuron, Irgarol 1051, Sea-nine 211) and wastewater (from high-pressure water blasting (WHPB) and its MeOH extract (WHPB-MeOH)) in the copepod Paracalanus parvus sl, we investigated the chemical concentration, egg-hatching rate, and nauplius mortality. WHPB samples were obtained through hull-cleaning activities involving WHPB in a dry dock. Among the biocides, Sea-nine 211 had the strongest effects on hatching rates and nauplius mortality, which was followed by Diuron and Irgarol 1051. In the WHPB and WHPB-MeOH samples, there was no significant difference between the experimental groups in terms of the egg-hatching rate; however, WHPB was found to be more toxic in terms of nauplius mortality, suggesting that metals in WHPB may also adversely affect nauplius survival in P. parvus sl. A comparison of the LC50 results of Sea-nine 211 and WHPB revealed that WHPB had a negative effect on nauplius mortality even at a 100-fold lower concentration. Therefore, if chemical contaminants generated during in-water cleaning activity are discharged continuously into the ports without being properly collected through a post-treatment system, they are expected to negatively impact the population of copepods near the port. Although verification is needed through additional experiments, our results could be used for a baseline study concerning the toxicity of antifouling biocides on marine copepod species.
