Blooms of the diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia occur annually in the Southern California Bight (SCB), and domoic acid (DA) associated with these events can contaminate fisheries, presenting both human and wildlife health risks. Recent studies have suggested that marine sediments may act as a reservoir for DA, extending the risk of food web contamination long after water column blooms have ended. In this study, we conducted a regional assessment of the extent and magnitude of DA in the benthic environment, and monthly observations of sediments and benthic infauna at multiple stations over a 16-month period. DA was widespread in continental shelf sediments of the SCB. The toxin was detected in 54% of all shelf habitats sampled. Detectable concentrations ranged from 0.11 ng/g to 1.36 ng/g. DA was consistently detected in benthic infauna tissues over the monthly timeseries, while the DA concentrations in sediments during the same period were commonly below detection or at low concentrations. The presence of DA in the benthic environment did not always have an apparent water column source, raising the possibility of lateral transport, retention/preservation in sediments or undetected blooms in subsurface waters. In most cases, DA was detected in tissues but not in the co-located surface sediments. Coarse taxonomic sorting of the infauna revealed that the accumulation of DA varied among taxa. We observed that DA was widespread among lower trophic level organisms in this study, potentially acting as a persistent source of DA to higher trophic levels in the benthos.

南加州沿岸海洋沉积物和底栖动物群中的持久性软骨藻酸

硅藻属Pseudo-nitzschia 的花朵每年在南加州湾 (SCB) 发生,与这些事件相关的软骨藻酸 (DA) 会污染渔业,对人类和野生动物健康构成威胁。最近的研究表明,海洋沉积物可能是 DA 的储存库,在水柱爆发结束后很长一段时间内都会扩大食物网污染的风险。在这项研究中,我们对底栖环境中 DA 的范围和大小进行了区域评估,并在 16 个月的时间里对多个站点的沉积物和底栖动物群进行了每月观测。DA广泛存在于SCB大陆架沉积物中。在采样的所有陆架栖息地中,有 54% 检测到了这种毒素。可检测浓度范围为 0.11 ng/g 至 1.36 ng/g。在每月的时间序列中,在底栖动物组织中始终检测到 DA,而同期沉积物中DA浓度普遍低于检测值或处于低浓度。底栖环境中 DA 的存在并不总是有明显的水柱来源,这增加了横向迁移、沉积物中滞留/保存或地下水中未被发现的水华的可能性。在大多数情况下,在组织中检测到 DA,但在共同定位的表层沉积物中未检测到。对动物群的粗分类显示,DA 的积累在不同的类群中有所不同。我们观察到 DA 在本研究中的低营养级生物中广泛存在,可能作为 DA 的持久来源以达到底栖动物中更高的营养级水平。底栖环境中 DA 的存在并不总是有明显的水柱来源,这增加了横向迁移、沉积物中滞留/保存或地下水中未被发现的水华的可能性。在大多数情况下,在组织中检测到 DA,但在共同定位的表层沉积物中未检测到。对动物群的粗分类显示,DA 的积累在不同的类群中有所不同。我们观察到 DA 在本研究中的低营养级生物中广泛存在,可能作为 DA 的持久来源以达到底栖动物中更高的营养级水平。底栖环境中 DA 的存在并不总是有明显的水柱来源,这增加了横向迁移、沉积物中滞留/保存或地下水中未被发现的水华的可能性。在大多数情况下,在组织中检测到 DA,但在共同定位的表层沉积物中未检测到。对动物群的粗分类显示,DA 的积累在不同的类群中有所不同。我们观察到 DA 在本研究中的低营养级生物中广泛存在,可能作为 DA 的持久来源以达到底栖动物中更高的营养级水平。对动物群的粗分类显示,DA 的积累在不同的类群中有所不同。我们观察到 DA 在本研究中的低营养级生物中广泛存在,可能作为 DA 的持久来源以达到底栖动物中更高的营养级水平。对动物群的粗分类显示,DA 的积累在不同的类群中有所不同。我们观察到 DA 在本研究中的低营养级生物中广泛存在,可能作为 DA 的持久来源以达到底栖动物中更高的营养级水平。
