摘要

Abstract

The toxicity of seven major HAB (harmful algal bloom) species/strains

Prorocentrum donghaiense

Phaeocystis globosa

Prorocentrum micans

Alexandrium tamarense (AT-6

non-PSP producer)

Alexandrium lusitanicum

Alexandrum tamarense (ATHK) and Heterosigma akashiwo were studied against rotifer Brachionus plicatilis under laboratory conditions. The results show that P. donghaiense

P. globosa

P. micans

A. tamarense (AT-6)

or A. lusitanicum could maintain the individual survival and reproduction

as well as the population increase of the rotifer

but the individual reproduction would decrease when exposed to these five algae at higher densities for nine days; H. akashiwo could decrease the individual survival and reproduction

as well as population increase of the rotifer

which is similar to that of the starvation group

indicating that starvation might be its one lethal factor except for the algal toxins; A. tamarense (ATHK) has strong lethal effect on the rotifer with 48h LC50 at 800 cells/mL. The experiment on ingestion ability indicated by gut pigment change shows that P. donghaiense

P. globosa

P. micans

A. tamarense (AT-6) and A. lusitanicum can be taken by the rotifers as food

but A. tamarense (ATHK) or H. akashiwo can be ingested by the rotifers. The results indicate that all the indexes of individual survival and reproduction

population increase

gut pigment change of the rotifers are good and convenient to be used to reflect the toxicities of HAB species. Therefore

rotifer is suggested as one of the toxicity testing organisms in detecting the toxicity of harmful algae.
