摘要
近年,由于人类活动加剧,大量氮磷等营养物质流入湖泊等缓流水体,导致水体富营养化。而由此引起有害蓝藻水华的频繁爆发,使生态环境和人类健康受到严重威胁。相关研究表明,蓝藻水华的爆发不仅能够使水体水质恶化,其中一些产毒藻类还会产生大量蓝藻毒素,对水生生物产生重要影响。底栖动物作为水体生态系统的重要组成部分,在食物网中有重要作用,同时其中的许多种类又与人类息息相关,因此关于水华蓝藻毒素对淡水底栖动物的毒理学研究具有重要意义。在介绍蓝藻毒素概况的基础上,综述了蓝藻毒素的致毒机理和对底栖动物的影响,展望了研究方向。
In recent years, owing to the intensified human activities, a large number of nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus, flow into lakes and other water bodies and result in serious eutrophication. However, the cultural eutrophication is often associated with cyanobacteria blooms which can create significant water quality and human health problems. What＇s more, some species of cyanobacteria are capable of producing secondary metabolites named eyanotoxins. Mass populations of toxin-producing eyanobaeteria are in natural and controlled water bodies include blooms and scums of planktonic species, and mats and biofilms of benthic species. Toxic eyanobacterial populations have been reported in freshwaters in over 45 countries. These toxins can be classified into five main types according to their mechanism of action in vertebrates： hepatotoxins, cytotoxius, dermatotoxins, neurotoxins and irritant toxins. These toxins （microeystins, nodularins, saxitoxins, anatoxin-a, anatoxin-a （s）, cylindrospermopsin ） are structurally diverse and their effects range from liver damage , including liver cancer, to neurotoxicity. There are more than 80 microcystin congeners, microcystin-LR （L, L-leucine; R, L-arginine ） is the best studied cyanobacterial toxin, whereas information for the other toxins is largely lacking. Many studies on the effects of cyanobacteria and their toxins over a wide range of aquatic organisms, including invertebrates and vertebrates, have reported acute effects （e.g., reduction in survivorship, feeding inhibition, paralysis）, chronic effects （e.g., reduction in growth and fecundity） , biochemical alterations （e.g., activity of phosphatases, GST, ACHE, proteases ）, and behavioral alterations. Research has also focused on the potential for bioaccumulation and transferring of these toxins through the food chain. In general, the toxins can transfer to human bodies by drinking and very little by entertainment or health care products. In some special circumstances, the toxins can als
