Abstract:
This experiment was conducted to assess the effects of pollution on both the physiological and energetic
characteristics (SFG) of Pteria aegyptiaca in the Gulf of Aqaba, Jordan. Four locations were chosen to represent
both contaminated and uncontaminated locations. Phosphate Loading Berth (P) and the Industrial Area (I),
represent contaminated locations, whilst the Hotels Area (H) and Marine Science Station (M) represent
uncontaminated locations. The results of this experiment showed that contaminated regions had significant
effects (P < 0.05) on respiration rate, clearance rate and absorption efficiency. A significant difference (P < 0.05)
was identified between the scopes for growth of animals transplanted in contaminated regions compared with
animals from uncontaminated locations. The Phosphate Loading Berth (P) and Industrial Area (I), showed the
lowest SFG (18.7 ± 4.591 and 35.94 ± 7.412 Jh-1 respectively), reduced to only a half of SFG compared to
uncontaminated locations. Results from our study indicate that oysters exposed to contaminated regions are
highly compromised in both their energetics and physiology. Failure to improve the environmental conditions in
these regions may have catastrophic effects on the micro and macro fauna.
