Abstract

The short term exposure (4 days) was done to Fungia fungites using different concentration of Irgarol to establish the health effects of this species by measuring their fatty acid composition. It was done by comparing fatty acid composition of the fresh, control and exposed groups. The results indicated that, fresh and control samples of F. fungites were not significant different (p > 0.05) and dominated by Saturated Fatty Acids (SAFA) followed by Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) and the Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA). However, trends of other tested groups (20, 100 and 500 µg/L) were significant different (p < 0.05), with species suffered more as the dose of chemicals increased. For example, α-Linolenic acid (C18:3ω3) was not detected in F. fungites which exposed in this herbicide at 100 and 500 µg/L whereas C20:5ω3 was not detected in all exposed groups. These ecotoxicological data proved that Irgarol may affect the fatty acids composition of coral reef organisms even if exposed at the low levels of this biocide.

Abstrak

Pendedahan jangka pendek (4 hari) telah dilakukan ke atas Fungia fungites menggunakan kepekatan Irgarol yang berbeza untuk membangunkan kesan kesihatan spesies tersebut dengan mengambilkira komposisi asid lemak mereka. Ianya telah dilakukan dengan membandingkan komposisi asid lemak bagi kumpulan segar, kawalan dan yang telah didedahkan. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa, sampel segar dan kawalan F. fungites tidak berbeza secara bererti (p > 0.05) dan didominasi olah Asid Lemak Tepu (SAFA) diikuti oleh Asid Lemak Tidak Tepu Poli (PUFA) dan Asid Lemak Tidak Tepu Mono (MUFA). Walaubagaimanapun, corak bagi kumpulan lain yang diuji (20, 100 and 500 µg/L) adalah berbeza secara bererti (p < 0.05), dengan spesies mengalami sengsara yang lebih apabila dos bahan kima ditingkatkan. Misalnya asid lemak α-Linolenat (C18:3ω3) tidak dikesan dalam F. fungites yang terdedah dengan biosid perangsang ini pada 100 and 500 µg/L manakala C20:5ω3 tidak dikesan dalam semua kumpulan yang terdedah. Data ekotoksikologi ini membuktikan bahawa Irgarol berkemungkinan menjejaskan komposisi asid lemak organisma terumbu karang sungguhpun jika terdedah pada tahap yang rendah oleh biosid ini.
