Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive review of the contamination by Butyltin compounds (BTs) and its possible implications on the marine and coastal environments of the Philippines. Butyltin compounds were detected in mussels from all the sampling locations investigated as part of the monitoring surveys under the Asia-Pacific Mussel Watch (APMW) Program conducted in the late 1990s. BTs were detected in green mussels collected from all the aquaculture sites in the country, suggestive of considerable widespread pollution by BTs in the coastal waters. Among BTs, TBT was detected at all locations at relatively higher concentrations, whereas the concentrations of DBT and MBT were lower. This could be indicative that green mussels have limited ability of metabolize TBT to DBT and MBT. In addition, this result may be suggestive of fresh TBT inputs into the aquatic environments and the presence of recent sources along the coastal waters. Concentrations of 0 BT in green mussels were reported up to 790 ng/g wet weight in a site where intensive maritime activities are occurring. Mussels from rural areas contained TBT at lower proportions indicating that TBT usage as antifouling agents is minimal. Tolerable average residue level (TARL) for seafood in the Philippines was estimated at 173 ng/g wet weight for an average person weighing 60kg. Concentrations of TBT or the sum of TBT and DBT in some green mussels analysed revealed that some values exceeded TARL level, which could suggest that humans consuming this seafood from areas with high BTs contamination could be at risk from elevated exposure to BTs. Similarly, BTs were detected in all the skipjack tuna collected, suggestive of the widespread contamination even in offshore waters and open seas on a global scale. Skipjack tuna collected from the offshore waters of the Philippines revealed considerable levels (up to 220 ng/g wet weight), with high percentages of BTs in total tin (0Sn: inorganic tin + organic tin) in the liver tissues. This finding seems to suggest that the anthropogenic BTs represent the major source of Sn accumulation in skipjack tuna. On the other hand, relatively low concentrations of BTs were found in the liver of cetaceans from the coastal waters of the Philippines, which ranged 42-98 ng/g wet weight. Significantly lower hepatic BT concentrations in cetaceans in tropical waters were noted compared with those inhabiting temperate waters proximal to developed nations. This result could imply smaller usage of BTs in the Philippines at least at the present.

Abstract

Sediment of 16 sites in the Kelabat Bay were monitored for metal contamination and toxicity in 2006. Two patterns of metal contaminants distribution in the sediment were observed. Higher concentrations of lead and copper were found in March than those in July, and so was in the inner bay than those observed in the outer bay, while different pattern was observed for cadmium concentration. The highest lead concentrations were observed at site 7 (inner bay) both in March and July. Although elevated levels of cadmium, lead and copper were observed in sediments, they were still in the tolerable level for marine life. Sediment of the bay was also evaluated for its toxicity using marine phytoplankton, Chaetoceros gracilis and sea urchin, Tripneustes gratila. Results of the tests reveal that no toxic effects of sediment to the growth of phytoplankton were observed, but to sea urchin fertilization of the sediment may have toxic effect.

Abstract

The study was conducted between September and October 2006 in various sites both inside and outside the Taklong Island National Marine Reserve (TINMAR), southern Guimaras, Philippines, to immediately conduct a rapid 3-month assessment of the impact of the Solar I oil spill incident which occurred in August 11, 2006 in southern Guimaras. The assessment was made possible by the availability of baseline (pre-spill) data which were compared with the present data (post-spill). Results showed the drastic decrease in overall mean densities (no. m-2) and species richness in the infaunal assemblages within TINMAR in September 2006, or 1 month after the oil spill. In October 2006 however, a slight increase in both of these parameters was observed, albeit not significant. The decrease is taken as a disturbance, directly resulting from the oil spill. On the other hand, it is not clear at this time if the increase is the start of recovery in the infauna. Our results indicate the need for a continuous monitoring, to allow more definitive conclusions on a) whether the assemblages are recovering, and if indeed they are, b) how long this recovery will take place.

Abstract

Nitzschia navis-varingica is recognized as the major ASP toxin producer other than Pseudo-nitzschia species. Surveys on the distribution and the toxin production of this diatom has been conducted in a few countries in eastern Asia and expanded to Thailand. Eighteen isolates from Thailand showed the positive result for the ASP toxin production is DA and IB, although the ratio of IB was much lower than those of the isolates from southern countries including Okinawa, Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam.

Abstract

A research on zoobenthos biodiversity was carried out from September 2004 to September 2006 at the Ca river (the length of Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces) showed a species composition consisted of 154 species, 115 genera, 72 families, 32 orders and 5 phyla, including Mollusca, Annelida, Arthropoda, Echinodermata and Sipuncula. The results showed that a decreasing trend in the number of zoobenthos species from the fresh water area to the estuary of the Ca River. The largest number of species was shown in route 1 (Cua Hoi) with 89 species (nearly 44.7%). The lowest value of species number was seen at route 5 with 31 species (15.5%). The Crustacea group was the most predominant group, including 47 species. The H' and d indexes indicated a decreasing biodiversity level from route 5 (Hung Lam, H' = 0.9 and d = 0.75) to route 1 (Cua Hoi, H' = 2.32 and d = 1.96). The average number of zoobenthos density was 149 individuals per m2. The average value in dry season was higher than that in rainy season (151 individuals per m2 compared to 146 individuals per m2, respectively). In the dry season, the biological indexes changed mainly according to salinity and turbidity factors. Meanwhile, in rainy season, the variation of zoobenthos species related essentially to other factors, DO and salinity.

Abstract

Deposition of suspended sediment was measured with sediment traps in shallow coastal waters colonized by Thallasia dominated seagrass in Pannikiang Island, South Sulawesi (Indonesia). The primary objective of this study was to compare the amounts of sediment deposition inside seagrass beds and in adjacent unvegetated area. The traps were placed in a seagrass bed (Station I, II, and III) and in an adjacent unvegetated area (Station IV) measuring the sediment flux on the seabed. The sediment fluxes due to deposition were significantly higher at stations I and II (P < 0.05) and station III (P < 0.01) than at station IV (unvegetated area). Results of this study suggest that sediment deposition was promoted by dense shoots of seagrass. The study provides quantitative evidence for the importance of seagrass bed as sites of sedimentation of fine particles.
