Effects of three surfactants on the filtration rates by marine mussels were studied. The xenobiotics tested represented anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, a representative of a class of cationic surfactants; sodium dodecyl sulphate, a representative of anionic alkyl sulfates; and Triton X-100, a representative of non-ionic hydroxyethylated alkyl phenols). All three surfactants inhibited the clearance rates. The significance of the results for the ecology of marine ecosystems is discussed.
It is the first time that the inhibition of the filtration rate of marine mussels Mytilus under effect of a cationic surfactant was discovered. It was underlined that the new data proved that synthetic surfactants are hazardous to the important function of ecosystems, namely water self-purification. The research was done at Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Plymouth, England, U.K.
