“…Meanwhile, several previous reports suggested that the sediment quality and epi-benthic faunal community in the Taean area began to apparently recover after four years of the HSOS (Hong et al, 2014;Lee et al, 2013a;Yu et al, 2013). However, another set of data in turn indicated that sedimentary residual oils remain in certain inner regions, particularly the locations with low tidal energy conditions accompanying a lack of flushing into bottom layers of sediment and low biological activity such as bottom-dwelling organisms (Hong et al, 2012a(Hong et al, , 2014.…”

“…On December 7, 2007, the worst oil spill occurred about 10 km off the Taean coast, in Korea, when the tanker Hebei Spirit foundered and released approximately 10,900 tons of crude oil (Hong et al, 2012a(Hong et al, , 2014Yim et al, 2012). Several previous studies indicated that the water quality, bioaccumulation, and benthic community of the Taean coast appeared to be fairly (or almost fully) recovered in five years after the Hebei Spirit oil spill (HSOS) (Hong et al, 2012a;Ji et al, 2011;Jung et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2011Lee et al, , 2013aYu et al, 2013). However, coastal sediments in the vicinity of an oil spill site are subject to a relatively long history of contamination, particularly in semi-closed sheltered areas.…”

“…In 2007, the 10,900 tons of crude oil released from the tanker, MV Hebei Spirit, covered 375km of shoreline of the western coast of Korea [13]. The toxicity of the oil wiped out most oysters at more than 90% of the oyster farms in that region, triggering the displacement of the natural spats by the ones from southern areas [14].…”

Genetic diversity assessment of Pacific oyster Magallana gigas (Crassostrea gigas) populations from the two southern coastal farms in South Korea

South Korea is among the major producers of the Pacific oyster, Magallana gigas ( Crassostrea gigas ), which is one of the most valued aquaculture species. Since the early 1990s, climatic and anthropogenic factors have incurred the reduction of their wild seeds, whereby the dependence on hatchery-produced seeds has constantly increased in South Korea, thus raising concerns about losing genetic diversity and accelerating genetic deterioration. To better understand their genetic make-up, we assessed the genetic diversity of M. gigas populations from two farms (Tongyeong and Gadeokdo) in the southern coast, where about 80% of the cultivated oysters in Korea are produced. Tongyeong showed slightly higher diversity than Gadeokdo, but both populations had a similar genetic structure characterized by low nucleotide diversity. Comparative haplotype analyses provided data supporting unique genetic features of the populations that include (1) weak genotype-locality relationship, (2) low levels of gene flow between populations, and (3) seasonal fluctuation of genetic variation within a population. Furthermore, the highly alike haplotype network patterns were observed between the wild and farm populations as well as among the populations in neighboring countries, which suggests that the genetic structure is conserved between wild and hatchery populations, and geographic proximity has minimal influence on the genetic composition. These results warrant further study in biological and ecological contexts and will be invaluable in formulating genetic monitoring and sustainable long-term management of M. gigas .

“…The majority of research on the toxicity of compounds in oils has focused on unsubstituted 16 PAHs classified as priority pollutants by the US Environmental Protection Agency [ 3 , 4 ]. However, alkyl-PAHs are found in higher quantities than unsubstituted PAHs in crude oils [ 2 , 5 , 6 ] and field monitoring studies have reported that higher alkyl-PAHs concentrations were detected in oil-contaminated sites, in the sediment, soil, and surface water [ 7 , 8 ]. Because of the predominance of alkyl-PAHs in oils, whether alkyl-PAHs are as toxic as PAHs is an important question.…”

Oxidative stress was evaluated for anthracene (Ant) and alkyl-Ants (9-methylanthracene [9-MA] and 9,10-dimethylanthracene [9,10-DMA]) in Caenorhabditis elegans to compare changes in toxicity due to the degree of alkylation. Worms were exposed at 1) the same external exposure concentration and 2) the maximum water-soluble concentration. Formation of reactive oxygen species, superoxide dismutase activity, total glutathione concentration, and lipid peroxidation were determined under constant exposure conditions using passive dosing. The expression of oxidative stress-related genes (daf-2, sir-2.1, daf-16, sod-1, sod-2, sod-3 and cytochrome 35A/C family genes) was also investigated to identify and compare changes in the genetic responses of C. elegans exposed to Ant and alkyl-Ant. At the same external concentration, 9,10-DMA induced the greatest oxidative stress, as evidenced by all indicators, except for lipid peroxidation, followed by 9-MA and Ant. Interestingly, 9,10-DMA led to greater oxidative stress than 9-MA and Ant when worms were exposed to the maximum water-soluble concentration, although the maximum water-soluble concentration of 9,10-DMA is the lowest. Increased oxidative stress by alkyl-Ants would be attributed to higher lipid-water partition coefficient and the π electron density in aromatic rings by alkyl substitution, although this supposition requires further confirmation.
