The effect of salinity and alkalinity on growth and the accumulation of copper and zinc in the Chlorophyta Ulva fasciata.

Abstract:

:Copper and zinc accumulation in macroalgae is a complex issue. While these metals exist as micronutrients and can serve to add nutritional value to the macroalgae when consumed by both plants and animals, elevated levels of the metals can reduce growth or even kill the algae. Many water parameters can influence the toxicity of the metals, though past studies have rarely isolated individual water parameters. This study aimed to independently determine the effects that salinity and alkalinity have on the growth and accumulation of these two metals on the macroalgae Ulva fasciata, distinguishing the effects of salinity and alkalinity as whole parameters from the collective effects of the water different constituents. The effect of salinity was determined using sodium chloride additions rather than seawater dilution, as performed in past studies, while alkalinity was tested using sodium bicarbonate additions to artificial seawater. The results of the study reinforce previous findings that copper is very toxic to macroalgae, even at low concentrations (50 µg L-1) though the effects of zinc remain inconclusive at 50 µg L-1, since the experiment was conducted over only a two-week trial period. The research suggests that salinity and alkalinity have no significant effect on the toxicity of copper to the growth of the macroalgae, but alkalinity significantly reduced copper and increased zinc accumulation in U. fasciata. The results of this study warrant further research in the field to investigate which other components of seawater and macroalgae reduce metal toxicity in the macroalgae. Additionally, these findings suggest the need for further refinement of toxicity models when adapted to macroalgae.
