This study aimed to verify if Dinophysis acuminata natural blooms affected the immune system of three bivalves: the oyster, Crassostrea gigas, the mussel, Perna perna, and the clam, Anomalocardia brasiliana. Animals were obtained from a renowned mariculture farm in the southern bay of Santa Catarina Island during, and 30 days after (controls), an algal bloom. Various immunological parameters were assessed in the hemolymph of the animals: total and differential hemocyte counts, percentage of apoptotic hemocytes, protein concentration, hemagglutinating titer and phenoloxidase activity. The results showed that the mussel was the most affected species, with several altered immune parameters, whereas the immunological profile of clams and oysters was partially and completely unaffected, respectively.
牡蛎、巨蛎和蛤。实验动物均取自圣卡塔琳娜岛南部海湾一家知名的海水养殖场,在藻类水华期间及水华结束后 30 天(对照组)采集。对动物的血淋巴进行了各种免疫参数评估:总及分类血细胞计数、凋亡血细胞百分比、蛋白质浓度、血凝效价和酚氧化酶活性。结果表明,贻贝是受影响最严重的物种,其多项免疫参数发生改变,而蛤和牡蛎的免疫谱则分别部分和完全不受影响。
