Abstract
- In this study, gametotoxicity and embryotoxicity experiments were performed using Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus to investigate the toxic effects of tributyltin (TBT). The effects of TBT on fertilization and embryogenesis were assessed at various concentrations (0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.09, 0.16, 0.43, 0.73, 4.68, and 9.22 ppb). The fertilization rates decreased in a concentration-dependent manner, with significant reduction following treatment with TBT at 0.05 ppb. Embryos exhibited developmental impairment after TBT exposure at each tested concentration. The frequency of developmental inhibition delay that treatment with TBT delayed embryonic development in a dose-dependent manner, with 100% of embryos exhibiting developmental impairment at 4.68 ppb. During developmental recovery tests, embryos cultured in fresh media without TBT showed advanced embryonic development. Although the observed normal development after transferring the developmentally delayed embryos to fresh media without TBT offers prospects for the restoration of contaminated environments, embryonic development remained incomplete. These results suggest that TBT adversely affects the early embryonic development of H. pulcherrimus.
