ABSTRACT.



The influence of some surface active substances on the filtration activity of marine Bivalvia was studied. It has been found that both anionic (sodium dodecylsulphate) and cationic (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide) surfactants inhibited the filtration activity of oysters (Crassostrea gigas). Some mixtures containing surface active substances also inhibited the filtration activity of C. gigas and Mytilus galloprovincialis. The obtained data correlate well with the results obtained previously. They suggest that some xenobiotics and pollutants inhibited the filtration activity of other species of marine and freshwater Bivalvia. This experimental approach is useful in evaluating the influence of surface active substances on marine ecosystems. DOI: 10.1615/HydrobJ.v39.i4.100;

Title of the review:
Discovery of toxicity of detergents to marine mussels and oysters;


Text of the review

by an independent expert:

This paper is the first to report toxicity of 2 surfactants and several detergents to marine bivalve mollusk, mussels (Latin name: Mytilus  galloprovincialis) and oysters (the Latin name: Crassostrea gigas). The influence of some synthetic surfactants (=surface active substances = amphyphilic substances) on the filtration activity of marine Bivalvia was studied.

The author of this paper discovered some negative effects of these chemicals (prospective pollutants of water) on the functional activity of these mollusks.

(1) It has been found that both anionic surfactant (sodium dodecylsulphate) and cationic surfactant (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide)  inhibited the filtration activity of oysters (Crassostrea gigas).
(2) Some mixtures containing surface active substances also inhibited the filtration activity of C. gigas and Mytilus galloprovincialis.

The obtained data correlate well with the results obtained previously by the same author, and published in the previous papers. These data - both in this paper in the previous author's articles) showed  that some xenobiotics and pollutants (exemplified by surfactants and detergents) inhibited the filtration activity of marine  Bivalvia. This experimental approach is useful in evaluating the negative influence of surface active substances on marine ecosystems.

Both species, mussels (Latin name: Mytilus  galloprovincialis) and oysters (the Latin name: Crassostrea gigas) are valuable objects of aquaculture (aquafarming). Therefore, the new results discovered another series of facts that are of great importance to cultivate marine bivalves properly.

I evaluate this paper as excellent, very useful, and recommend it to all in aquatic ecology, marine ecology, marine aquaculture, environmental science, biological oceanography.
