19、lution affecting a marine environment is shown in terms of the concentration levels of the contaminants present in the environment of interest. However, these measurements do not provide an estimation of the harmful effects on organisms and have to be complemented with the biological responses obtai

20、ned through biotests (see Reference 5).Among the marine organisms used to assess the potential impact of chemicals or discharges into the environment, bivalve embryos and larvae are, together with sea urchins, among the organisms which are most frequently used in biotests. This has been the case sin

21、ce the first research undertaken by Lillies (1921) (see Reference18) on the sea urchin Arbacia and by Prytherch (1924) (see Reference21) on the oyster Crassostrea virginica. The embryos and larvae are less tolerant to pollutants than the adults of the same species. They therefore represent the criti

22、cal stages for the toxicity tests (see References19 and 30). Since 1972, Woelke (see Reference35) has recommended the use of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, to assess the quality of seawater. Furthermore, their worldwide distribution in coastal waters, as well as their commercial importance (

23、see Reference10), make bivalves the species of choice for the undertaking of biotests.The results of these biotests demonstrate the necessity to determine the potential toxicity thresholds of chemicals which could enter the marine environment either accidentally or chronically, as well as the “biolo

24、gical quality” of an environment or the potential toxicity of river water or a discharge that reach the sea. Quiniou et al. (1993, 1997) (see References27 and 26) and His et. al (1999) (see Reference 11) defined potential toxicity on the basis of teratological effects.This International Standard spe

25、cifies a method based on the embryo-larval development of bivalves (oyster or mussel). It can be routinely used to assess development abnormalities caused by the possible presence of chemicals and mixtures in seawater. It also allows to assess the toxicity of aqueous samples like seawater, surface w

26、ater, effluents (urban, agricultural, industrial effluents, etc.), aqueous extracts from sediments, and petroleum products that could be leached in the water column at the time of their resuspension or discharge and presence in the sea.This test can be performed throughout the year with mature bival

27、ves sampled from the natural environment during their reproduction periods or mature bivalves which come from a hatchery where they have been conditioned.This toxicity test, recommended by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), (see Reference14), has been the subject of the

28、 first European inter-calibration test performed in 1991 (see Reference 31). The protocol described in this International Standard corresponds to a modification and simplification of the ASTM standard method (1994) (see Reference3).The toxicity assessment of metals performed on C. gigas and Mytilus

29、edulis demonstrated that both organisms had a similar level of sensitivity (see References19 and 15). Two other studies performed on urban effluents showed similar findings for both species (see References16 and 28). These observations have been confirmed by the work carried out on mercury by Beiras

30、 and His (1994) (see Reference4), who compared the findings of four embryo-larval tests: M. edulis, M. galloprovincialis, C. gigas, and C. virginica. Another study showed that the embryos of C. gigas are more sensitive to metals and hydrocarbons than the other marine organisms which are commonly use

31、d, for example, polychaete, amphipods, fish, and crustaceans (see Reference 8).The sensitivity of the bivalve embryo-larval development confirms the suitability of this test to assess the toxicity of chemicals and aqueous samples. The pH, salinity, and temperature ranges acceptable to bivalves make

32、them easy to use in ecotoxicity studies, particularly when assessing the quality of coastal and estuarine environments (see Reference11).

This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with

34、 its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.IMPORTANT It is absolutely essential that tests conducted in accordance with this International Standard be carried out by suitably qua

35、lified staff.1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a method for determining the effects of chemical and aqueous samples on the embryo-larval development of marine bivalves. It allows the determination of the concentration levels that result in an abnormality in embryo-larval development. This

36、 test is suitable for salinity ranges between 20 and 40 for mussels and between 25 and 35 for oysters. This method applies to chemical substances and preparations, marine and brackish waters, streams and aqueous effluents (urban, agricultural, industrial effluents, etc.) as long as the salinity is a

37、djusted and/or dilution is limited so that the aforementioned salinity ranges are respected, and aqueous extracts (pore water, elutriates, eluates, and leachates) from sediments and petroleum products.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in t

The larvae size is regular and around 70 m. After fixation, the mantle nearly fills the interior

43、 of the larvae, but is totally included within the two closed shells.4 PrincipleThis biotest assesses the effects of chemicals and aqueous environmental samples on the embryo-larval development of marine bivalves under static conditions.The exposure is performed from fertilized eggs to D larvae. Thi

44、s static test aims to determine the concentration level (ECx) which results in abnormalities for x % of exposed larvae in 24 h for the Japanese oyster, also named Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), and in 48 h for the mussel (Mytilus edulis or Mytilus galloprovincialis). Several parameters can be a

45、ssessed on the abnormal larvae: alteration of the shell (hinge is not straight, unequal, or incomplete valves), hypertrophy of the mantle, delayed or stopped embryonic development, and finally, death. The results are expressed as ECx(EC20or EC50). The lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC) and

46、no observed effect concentration (NOEC) can also be determined.NOTE This method can be applied to other species of bivalves (e.g. C. virginica). Nevertheless, the test conditions have to be defined to reach the validity criteria of the standard.5 Test organisms and seawater5.1 Spawning stock or matu

47、re bivalvesThe mature bivalves used for gamete production can be obtained from the natural environment during reproductive periods as long as the good quality of their sampling area has been proven. The reproduction period along the European and African coasts depends on the site. In some places, it

48、 can occur all year.For oysters, it is also possible to use mature animals from hatcheries where they have previously undergone a conditioning cycle so that they are ready for spawning as soon as they arrive in the laboratory. This enables to perform tests throughout the year.As soon as the bivalves

49、 are received in the laboratory, it is recommended to keep them dry until the beginning time of the experiment (for example, 15 C) or in seawater at a temperature close to their conditioning or rearing temperature (for example, 20 C for hatchery oysters). If the mature bivalves have to be kept for more than 48 h after sampling and/or dispatching, they shall be stored in water (see 5.2) with the same temperature as the original location and shall be provided with rich and appropriate 2 ISO 2
