Abstract
Abstract Objective The presence of heavy metals in seawater is a major challenge for hatchery culture of sea urchin larvae due to their sensitivity to metal pollution. The impact of heavy metals in seawater for sensitive marine larviculture could be minimized via chelation of metals using chemical compounds such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Methods In this study the effects of EDTA were tested for the long‐spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum during larviculture at two concentrations (10 μM and 50 μM) and two exposure durations (6 and 24 days postfertilization). Growth and survival of larvae were evaluated as response variables. Result Significant differences in growth and survival of larvae were found among the treatments at different EDTA concentrations and exposure durations. The 10‐μM EDTA treatment enhanced growth and survival of larvae relative to control for both exposure durations. The 50‐μM EDTA treatment was unsuitable for long‐spined sea urchin larviculture due to reductions in growth and survival. Conclusion The use of 10 μM EDTA during embryo incubation and larviculture is expected to improve long‐spined sea urchin larval fitness, leading to improved hatchery production.
期刊介绍:
The North American Journal of Aquaculture publishes papers on new research and practical experience in all areas of intensive and extensive fish culture. Topics include broodstock selection and spawning, nutrition and feeding, health and water quality, facilities and production technology, and the management of ponds, pens, and raceways.
The journal will consider papers dealing with ways to improve the husbandry of any aquatic species—marine or freshwater, vertebrate or invertebrate—raised for commercial, scientific, recreational, enhancement, or restoration purposes that may be of interest to practitioners in North America. Its scope includes both basic and applied science, but applied scientific endeavors—including practical experiences, descriptive studies, and other nontraditional, but pertinent works—are emphasized.
