PG - 507-12 AB - We previously found that embryonic development of the bivalve species was highly vulnerable to xenobiotic chemicals, damaging the coastal ecosystem integrity To further assess their potential damage to ecosystem, the xenobiotic composition of the sediment elutriates from two representative industrialized Korean coasts, Pohang and Ulsan, were determined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The presumed critical dilution of the elutriate was then exposed to early life stages of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), embryonic development and metamorphic stage to first spat, at which they were believably more vulnerable by the chemical exposure. The early life damage by the xenobiotic exposure was apparently significant by the significant degree of pollution. Here, we indicated their potential damages to the Pacific oyster FAU - Jo, Qtae AU - Jo Q AD - East Sea Fisheries Research Institute, Gangwon-210-861, Korea. qtjo@nfrdi.re.kr FAU - Choy, Eun Jung AU - Choy EJ FAU - Kang, Chang Keun AU - Kang CK FAU - Moon, Hyo Bang AU - Moon HB FAU - Lee, Su Jeong AU - Lee SJ FAU - Kim, Dae Hyun AU - Kim DH FAU - Lee, Ji Hyun AU - Lee JH LA - eng PT - Journal Article PL - India TA - J Environ Biol JT - Journal of environmental biology JID - 8300544 RN - 0 (Organic Chemicals) RN - 0 (Water Pollutants, Chemical) RN - 0 (Xenobiotics) SB - IM MH - Animals MH - Crassostrea/*drug effects/embryology/physiology MH - *Ecosystem MH - Embryo, Nonmammalian/*drug effects/physiology MH - Geography MH - Geologic Sediments/*chemistry MH - Korea MH - *Marine Biology MH - Metamorphosis, Biological/*drug effects/physiology MH - Organic Chemicals/*toxicity MH - Water Pollutants, Chemical/*toxicity MH - Xenobiotics EDAT- 2009/02/07 09:00 MHDA- 2009/03/14 09:00 CRDT- 2009/02/07 09:00 PHST- 2009/02/07 09:00 [entrez] PHST- 2009/02/07 09:00 [pubmed] PHST- 2009/03/14 09:00 [medline] PST - ppublish SO - J Environ Biol. 2008 Jul;29(4):507-12.
