Efectos tóxicos de la exposición aguda de Prochilodus magdalenae a cloruro de mercurio

Abstract

RESUMEN: Alevinos de Prochilodus magdalenae (bocachico), adquiridos en cultivos de peces, fueron expuestos durante 96 horas a cinco concentraciones agudas de mercurio (0.1, 0.13, 0.17, 0.22, 0.29 mg/l) en un sistema estático con renovación a las 48 horas. Durante la aclimatación los peces se mantuvieron en agua de consumo declorinada filtrada con carbón activado. La tasa de recirculación del agua fue 50 min y los niveles de oxígeno fueron superiores a 80% de saturación. Los peces fueron alimentados diariamente con Tetramin y el suministro de alimento se interrumpió doce horas antes del inicio de los experimentos. Durante la aclimatación y las pruebas de toxicidad la temperatura, el pH y el oxígeno disuelto variaron en un rango estrecho. La concentración letal media (CL50) del mercurio se calculó para 24, 48, 72 y 96 horas mediante los métodos promedio del ángulo móvil y probit. Los resultados a las 96 horas indicaron gran homogeneidad de la concentración letal media al variar entre 0.132 y 0.133 mg/l de cloruro de mercurio, y una menor sensibilidad de P. magdalenae que Poecilia reticulata a esta sustancia.

ABSTRACT: Young individuals of Prochilodus magdalenae (bocachico) acquired from commercial fish hatcheries were exposed to five acute concentrations of mercury (0.1, 0.13, 0.17, 0.22, 0.29 mg/l) for 96 hour periods in a static system renovated each 48 hours. During the acclimation period, fishes were maintained in tap water that had been previously filtrated with activated carbon. The circulation rate was 50 l/min and oxygen levels always exceeded 80% of saturation. Fishes were fed daily with Tetramin and feeding was halted twelve hours before the beginning of the toxicity bioassays. During acclimation period and bioassays, the pH and dissolved oxygen levels varied within a narrow range. Lethal mean concentrations (CL50) were calculated for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours by the moving average angle and probit methods. Results for 96 hours indicated great homogeneity with the lethal mean concentrations varying between 0.132 and 0.133 mg/l of mercury chloride, with P. magdalaneae exhibiting lower sensitivity to this substance than Poecilia reticulata.
