Abstract:

In this study, the toxicity of colloidal silver nanoparticles produced from three companies (US NANO, Pioneers, Nanonasb Pars) in the larvae of barnacles Amphibalanus amphitrite was evaluated using standard OECD. These crustaceans are important economically and ecologically. In this research, the LC50 within 24 hours for nauplius stages II, III, IV, V and VI examined against toxicity of the three types of silver colloidal nanoparticles. The results suggested that the calculated LC50 of silver nanoparticles from US NANO company for naupli II, III, IV, V and, VI, were 0.077, 0.046, 0.071, 0.006 and,0.009 mg/ml, respectively, and the LC50 of silver nanoparticles from Pioneers company for naupli II, III, IV, V and VI were 0.122,0.5, 0.402, 0.013 and, 0.023 mg/ml, respectively. The evaluated LC50 of silver nanoparticles from Nanonasb Pars for naupli, II, III, IV, V and VI were 0.259, 0.037, 0.018, 0.019 and, 0.017 mg/ml, respectively. This result indicated that silver nanoparticles of US NANO companys have been the most toxic on all larval barnacle stages and should be reviewed in correlation with the environment management products of silver nanoparticles.

siRNA transfection in larvae of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite.

RNA interference (RNAi) provides an efficient and specific technique for functional genomic studies. Yet, no successful application of RNAi has been reported in barnacles. In this study, siRNA against p38 MAPK was synthesized and then transfected into A. amphitrite larvae at either the nauplius or cyprid stage, or at both stages. Effects of siRNA transfection on the p38 MAPK level were hardly d...

Base plate mechanics of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite (=Amphibalanus amphitrite).

The mechanical properties of barnacle base plates were measured using a punch test apparatus, with the purpose of examining the effect that the base plate flexural rigidity may have on adhesion mechanics. Base plate compliance was measured for 43 Balanus amphitrite (=Amphibalanus amphitrite) barnacles. Compliance measurements were used to determine flexural rigidity (assuming a fixed-edge circu...

Worldwide genetic differentiation in the common fouling barnacle, Amphibalanus amphitrite.

Amphibalanus amphitrite is a common fouling barnacle distributed globally in tropical and subtropical waters. In the present study, the genetic (mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I) and morphological differentiation in A. amphitrite from 25 localities around the world were investigated. The results revealed three clades within A. amphitrite with a genetic divergence of ~ 4% among clades,...

Involvement of reactive oxygen species in the electrochemical inhibition of barnacle (Amphibalanus amphitrite) settlement.

The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in electrochemical biofouling inhibition was investigated using a series of abiotic tests and settlement experiments with larvae of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite, a cosmopolitan fouler. Larval settlement, a measure of biofouling potential, was reduced from 43% +/- 14% to 5% +/- 6% upon the application of pulsed electric signals. The application o...

Larval metamorphosis of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite under mono and mixed algal diet

Barnacles are one of the dominant macrofouling organisms found in the intertidal region throughout the word. In this study, the effects of mono and mixed algal diet (Chaetoceros calcitrans, C. muelleri, Isochrysis galbana, Tetraselmis suecica and Chlorella vulgaris) on the larval metamorphosis of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite were evaluated. Larvae obtained from A. amphitrite were cultur...
