Why won’t they grow? – Inhibitory substances and mollusc hatcheries

Abstract: Molluscs are known to be seriously affected by trace amounts of environmental pollutants such as tributyltin at concentrations in seawater that are below the level of detection by all but the most sensitive chemical analytical techniques. This extreme sensitivity by molluscs has led to use of both adults and larvae as biomonitors for environmental pollution. Mollusc aquaculture has led to an increasing demand for commercial hatcheries to supply seed stock, including selected genetic lines of spat and juveniles… Show more

“…The water treatment of O. edulis hatchery is carried out today by different methods: chlorination, ultraviolet radiation, pasteurization or ozonation (Prado et al 2010). The storage of untreated water may increase the risks (Jones 2006).…”

“…In scallop hatcheries, one of the main problems is larval survival that may limit the production of spat [13]. Mortalities are often associated with opportunistic bacteria, but may also be due to traces of inhibitory or toxic substances sporadically occurring in the water supply [11,12,[38][39][40][41]. Bacterial blooms benefit from increased organic carbon concentrations and the major bacteria sources are inlet water, algal production and brood stock [42].…”

“…Other supplies coming onto the site can be a potential source of infection. These include fomites such as transport crates, settlement slats and netting; and other at-risk items such as non-food grade plastics that may lead to toxic insults (14), especially in mollusc hatcheries, that result in immune suppression and consequent infection by pathogenic organisms.…”
