摘要

Abstract

Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is an increasingly present marine environmental pollutant

yet our understanding of the long-term consequences of reproductive toxicity in marine benthic polychaetes remains limited. To test the reproductive toxicity of B[a]P on polychaetes

Perinereis nuntia was exposed to B[a]P-contaminated artificial seawater and sexual maturation

the sex ratio

number of eggs spawned

fertilization and hatching rated

as well as vitellogenin (VTG) mRNA expression levels were analyzed. A low concentration of B[a]P (2.5 μg/L) had no effects on the rate of sexual maturation

spawning

or fertilization but significantly increased the sex ratio (female: male) from 1.6±0.15:1 to 2.3±0.18:1

inhibited hatching rate by 27%

and significantly increased VTG mRNA expression level by 3.7-fold following a 60-day exposure

compared with those in the solvent controls. A higher concentration of B[a]P (25 μg/L) caused more serious effects; sexual maturation

fertilization success

and hatching decreased by 31%

17% and 46%

respectively

and the sex ratio (female: male) and VTG mRNA gene expression level increased by 54% and 7.1-fold

respectively. These results demonstrate that sublethal concentrations of B[a]P negatively affect reproductive performance of the sandworm P. nuntia.
