Tóm tắt

The aim of this study was to quantify the release of the hydrophobic contaminant emamectin (EMA) from marine sediments in response to inputs of organic material (OM) and/or oil, in the presence or absence of two different bioturbating species. Specifically, it was designed to test whether oil would decrease the release of EMA and whether OM and/or the presence of bioturbating macrofauna would increase the release of EMA from sediment. Experimental sediments were spiked with EMA (5 μg kg−1 wet sediment). The different treatments were prepared by the addition of OM (310 g algae m−2) and/or an aliphatic oil (29.6 g oil m−2). In addition, two bioturbating species, Brissopsis lyrifera or Ennucula tenuis, were added in some aquaria, resulting in a total of 12 treatments with four replicates each. Water samples for analyses of silicate and EMA and sediment samples for analyses of total organic carbon (TOC) were taken at the start and end of the experimental exposure. In addition, oxygen was measured during the experimental period of 8 days. Fluxes were calculated and compared between treatments using generalised linear models (GLMs). The EMA release flux was significantly increased in treatments with added OM, possibly reflecting the presence of soluble complexes formed between EMA and dissolved OM. The presence of B. lyrifera caused a small, but statistically significant, increase in EMA release from sediment. This species would be expected to have a stronger effect on bioirrigation and particle mixing than E. tenuis, particularly when the population density of the latter species is low (as in the present experiment). There were no consistent effects of oil in this experiment, but the presence of oil decreased the EMA release flux when co-occurring with added OM and/or B. lyrifera. Increased retention of hydrophobic contaminants in the presence of oil is consistent with the existing literature on contaminant fate. The results from this study highlight the need to consider both the infauna present in polluted areas and the level of organic enrichment of the sediment when modelling the environmental fate of hydrophobic contaminants. It also highlights that labile OM and refractory oil appear to differ in their effects on the remobilisation of hydrophobic organic contaminants, by reducing and increasing release, respectively.
