“…Effect of sodium cyanide on catalase activity and consequent accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in the fish, Cyprinus carpio, was reported by David et al (2008). Similarly, Kim et al (2008) studied acute effects of acute exposure to sodium cyanide on the endogenous rhythm of the oxygen consumption rate in the black rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli, and demonstrated that concentrations over 20 ppb cause severe physiological damage to endogenous rhythms. Alterations in the biochemical composition of fish as response to stress caused by environmental pollution have been studied by many researchers (Virk and Sharma, 2003).…”

The effects of exposure to one-third and one-fifth sublethal concentrations (0.106 and 0.064 mg/L) of sodium cyanide on protein metabolism on freshwater carp, Labeo rohita, was studied. Three functionally different tissues, namely, the liver, muscle, and gills, were studied after 5, 10, and 15 days. Exposures produced marked changes in protein metabolic profile in all tissues studied. These changes were more pronounced in the one-third sublethal concentration, suggesting a cumulative action of toxicant. This investigation revealed that the total, structural, and soluble proteins and urea content in all the three tissues were decreased, whereas free amino acids, ammonia, and enzyme activity (i.e., protease, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase) exhibited elevated levels at both sublethal concentrations. Variation in protein metabolism in the fish, induced by sodium cyanide, demonstrated its toxic effects on cellular metabolism, thereby leading to impaired protein synthetic machinery. The results of the present study indicate that a mechanism of impaired energy transformation has direct action on the fish, L. rohita, and its impact is clearly evident from the change in the nutritional content of the fish.

“…To evaluate antifouling compounds, compounds S1-S6 were tested against non-fouling organisms including rockfish Brachionus rotundiformis, brine shrimp A. salina, and microalga T. suecica. The rock fish S. schlegelii is a commercially important species in Korea and a major food fish (Kim et al 2008). Artemia is a common toxicity test organism, by virtue of the short generation time, ease of culture, commercial availability of its cysts, and worldwide distribution (Vanhaaecke et al 1981).…”

Biofouling in aquatic environments have a wide range of detrimental effects on man-made structures and cause economic loss. Current antifouling compounds including Diuron, dichlorofluanid, and Irgarol are toxic and can accumulate in marine environments. Thus, effective and environmentally friendly antifoulants are needed. Six structurally similar compounds were isolated from the brown alga, Sargassum horneri, based on bioactivity-guided isolation by reversed-phased liquid flash chromatography and highperformance liquid chromatography. Six chemical constituents possessing antifouling activities were identified as chromanols consisting of polyprenyl chain by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy. Antifouling activities of these six compounds were determined against representative fouling organisms including a hard fouling organism the mussel Mytilus edulis, a soft fouling macroalga Ulva pertusa, the biofouling diatom Navicula annexa, and the biofouling bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa KNP-3 and Alteromonas sp. KNS-8. The compounds could inhibit larvae settlement of mussel M. edulis with an EC 50 of 0.11-3.34 μg mL −1 , spore settlement of U. pertusa zoospores (EC 50 of 0.01-0.43 μg mL −1 ), and the diatom N. annexa (EC 50 of 0.008-0.19 μg mL −1 ). The two biofouling bacteria were sensitive to the tested compounds (minimum inhibitory concentration of 1.68-36.8 and 1.02-30.4 μg mL −1 , respectively). From toxicity tests on juvenile Sebastes schlegelii fish, brine shrimp Artemia salina, and microalga Tetraselmis suecica, S3 had the lowest LC 50 values of 60.2, 108, and 6.7 μg mL −1 and exhibited no observed effect concentration at 24.5, 41.6, and 3.1 μg mL −1 for these three tested marine organisms, respectively.
