| Abstract: |
| High levels of copper in water can affect aquacultural production. Here an experiment was designed to examine the responses of reactive oxygen species(ROS), superoxide dismutase(SOD) and total anti-oxidation capacity(T-AOC) in gill, hepatopancreas and muscle of Portunus trituberculatus exposed to different concentrations of Cu2+(0, 0.04, 0.4, 2 and 4 mg·L-1) using single factor gradient method of ecology. The ROS level increased with elevated concentrations of Cu2+(2 mg·L-1 and 4 mg·L-1), but was no significant differences(P>0.05)between 0.04 and 0.4 mg·L-1. Compared with control, SOD and T-AOC activities in gill, hepatopancreas and muscle were induced by low concentrations of Cu2+(0.04 and 0.4 mg·L-1), and displayed an inverted V-shape over the experimental period. Furthermore, the activities of SOD and T-AOC in gill, hepatopancreas and muscle showed obvious relationships between concentration-time effects and time-effect. Under high concentrations of Cu2+(2 and 4 mg·L-1), the activity of SOD in gill, hepatopancreas and muscle and the activity of T-AOC in gill were induced during the initial 24 h, but activity of T-AOC in hepatopancreas and muscle were inhibited at the beginning and decreased markedly over time. The present results suggest that exposure to low(<0.04 mg·L-1) and short-term exposure to high Cu2+ concentrations(>2 mg·L-1) would not cause significant oxidative damages, but enhance the antioxidant defense system. Under extended exposure to high Cu2+, however, oxidative damage was obviously increased, decreasing the antioxidation capacity. Antioxidant enzyme and non-enzymatic antioxidants could jointly play a role in the defense system. |
