- W2000488596 abstract "Penaeus japonicus (12.2 to 16 ? g) were exposed individually in 25 ppt salinity seawater to 2, 4, 8 and 20 mg nitrite-N 1-' at 20 f 1 'C; additional trials were run using 5. 20 and 50 mg nitrite-N 1-'. Hemolymph nitrite values for control (unexposed) shrimp weighing 12.15 + 0.62 g and 16.69 t 2.98 g were 0.152 f 0 003 and 0.109 f 0 015 kg nltnte-N ml-l, respectively. Hemolymph nitrite-N of shrimp exposed to 2 mg nitrite-N ml-l was significantly higher (p <0.01) than that of controls after : . ' z h exposure. Hemolymph nitrite-N of shrimp increased with increasing seawater nitrite-N. Hemolymph nitrite-N displayed a positive linear relationship with time, whereas seawater nitnte-N was negatively related to time. Shrimp exposed to 2, 4 and 20 mg nitrite-N 1' accumulated nitrite-N in hemolymph up to 2.291, 6.088 and 25.060 pg ml-', respectively, after 16 h, while seawater nitrite-N declined to 0.089, 0.118 and 0.257 mg I' . Nitrite, an intermediate product of ammonia during nitrification, was found to accumulate at concentrations of up to 0.12 and 4.61 mg nitrite-N 1-l in a hatchery and a growout farm, respectively, even with frequent water replacement (Chen et al. 1986, 1989). Therefore, accumulation of nitrite and its toxic effect are a primary concern. Toxicity of nitrite to finfish and crustaceans has been widely studied, and has been reviewed by Colt & Armstrong (1981) and Lewis & Morris (1986). Accumulation of nitrite in the water may retard shrimp growth, enhance molting and in extreme cases cause death (Chen & Chen 1992). This report describes nitrite accumulation in the hemolymph of Penaeus japonicus exposed to different levels of nitrite in the laboratory. Materials and methods. Penaeus japonicus were obtained from a private growout farm, acclimated in the laboratory for 3 d and fed commercial shrimp feed (Tairoun Product Co., Taipei) once a day at a rate of 5 O/O of body weight d-'. For 2 d prior to the experiment, the shrimp were not fed. The animals used had total lengths of 11.57 L 0.58cmand 12.67 + 0.82cm (mean 2 SD) , and weighed 12.15 k 0.62 g and 16.69 k 2.98 g (mean k SD), for the first and second tests, respectively (see below). Seawater pumped from the Keelung coast was filtered through a sand and gravel bed and salinity was adjusted to 25 ppt (g kg-') with municipal water which had been dechlorinated with sodium thiosulfate; the seawater was then aerated by air-lifting for 3 d before use (Chen e t al. 1990). Nitrite test solutions were prepared by dissolving 493 g of sodium nitrite (Merck reagent grade) in 10 1 distilled water to obtain 10 000 mg nitrite-N1-l, and then diluted to desired concentrations with seawater. NitriteN concentrations were 2, 4, 8 and 20 mg 1-' and 5, 20 and 50 mg l-' for the first and second tests, respectively, under conditions of 25 ppt salinity and 20 + l C. The starved intermolt shrimp were collected randomly from the holding tanks and individually transferred to 20 1 circular plastic tanks containing 10 l test solution, each of which contained a test group. Each test treatment was conducted in triplicate, and each solution was aerated using an air blower attached to a diffuser. The numbers of shrimp used in the first and second tests were 93 and 48, respectively. Each tank was covered with a plastic cap to prevent shrimp from escaping. For the second test, 4 tanks (control, 5, 20 and 50 mg nitrite-N 1-l) without shrimp were set up in addition to the exposure tanks described above, in order to monitor water concentrations of nitrite in the absence of shrimp. These tanks (termed 'blanks') were identical to the exposure tanks except for the presence of shrimp. Water temperature, measured with a mercury thermometer, was maintained at 20 + 1 C. Dissolved oxygen, measured with a Delta Scientific 2110 DO meter (Delta Company, USA) was kept at 5.46 f 0.60 mg I' . Shrimp were sampled at time intervals of '5 , 1, 2, 4 , 8 and 16 h and4 ,8 ,12 and 16 h for the first and second tests respectively. Seawater concentrations of nitrite-N were verified using the method described by Strickland & Parsons (1972). Hemolymph samples were taken by syringe from the pericardial cavities through the ends of the rostra. Zinc sulfate solution and sodium hydroxide solution were added to the hemolymph, precipitated protein was removed by centrifugation at 15 000 rpm for 2 min, and the supernatant was analyzed for nitrite-N using the method described by Schechter e t al. (1972). All data were subjected to l-way analysis of variance (Steel & Torrie 1980). If significant differences were indicated at the 0.05 level, then Duncan's Multiple b Inter-Research 1992 017 1 -8630/92/0083/0305/$ 03.00 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. 83: 305-308, 1992 Range Test was used to identify significant differences between treatments (Duncan 1955). Relationships between hemolymph nitrite and time, seawater nitrite and time, hemolymph nitrite and initial nitrite, and seawater nitrite and initial nitrite were calculated. Results. Shrimp exposed to 2, 4, 5, 8, 20, 50 mg nitrite-N 1 ' and the corresponding control individuals survived 16 h exposure. In the control treatments, hemolymph nitrite-N ranged from 0.148 to 0.156 pg m l l with an average of 0.152 k 0.003 pg rnl', and from 0.133 to 0.095 y.q ml with an average of 0.109 k 0.015 pg m l ' , for the first and second tests respectively (Table 1). However, for shrimp in seawater containing 2, 4, 8 and 20 mg nitriteN I', hemolymph nitrite-N increased to 2.291, 6.088, 9.411 and 25.060 ug ml-I after 16 h (Table 1). Hemolymph nitrite-N concentrations from all treatments except for the control increased over time and were higher than the original ambient concentrations after 16 h. Seawater nitrite-N concentration decreased with time and was less than half of the original concentration in all test solutions after 4 h, except in the control (Table 2). Seawater nitrite-N concentrations were 0.205, 0.315 and 2.770 mg 1-I after 16 h in the 5, 20 and 50 mg 1 ' test solutions containing individual shrimp. However, in the blank group, ambient nitrite-N concentrations were 3.96, 17.26 and 47.92 mg nitrite-N 1-I after 16 h (Table 2). Mean hernolymph nitrite-N of individual Penaeus japonicus exposed to each test solution displayed a positive linear relationship with time elapsed. However, concentration of seawater nitrite-N was negatively related to time (Table 3). When Penaeus japonicus were exposed to increasing levels of ambient nitrite-N, hemolymph nitrite-N increased significantly (p < 0.01) after '/a h and 4 h in the first and second tests, respectively (Table 1). Hernolymph nitrite-N concentrations after each exposure time were positively correlated with initial nitriteN concentration in each test solution, and seawater nitrite-N concentrations were positively correlated with initial concentration of nitrite-N in each test solution at each sampling (Table 3). Discussion. The major toxic action of nitrite in teleost blood is oxidation of hemoglobin to methemoglobin, which is incapable of binding oxygen, resulting in hypoxia and cyanosis (Bowser et al. 1983, Almendras 1987). The same reaction may occur in hemocyanincontaining shrimps, although several studies have reported that hemocyanin is still able to bind oxygen in the presence of nitrite (Needham 1961, Gutzmer & Tomasso 1985, Jensen 1990).
