Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been widely used because of their excellent bactericidal properties, and with them comes their massive discharge, which may pose potential risks to marine ecology and the environment, but relatively few studies have been conducted on the chronic toxicity of Ag NPs to marine organisms. Here, the marine copepod Tigriopus japonicus was used to investigate the effects of Ag NPs on the survival, development, and reproduction under two generations. The results showed that Ag NPs significantly increased the mortality of T. japonicus at 0.2 mg/L. In the F0 generation, 0.3 mg/L Ag NPs significantly prolonged the developmental time of T. japonicus, while in the F1 generation, it was significantly prolonged at only 0.1 mg/L. And Ag NPs significantly inhibited the hatching number of T. japonicus at F0 generation while it was alleviated at F1 generation.
