Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how volcanic ash impacts the feeding organisms, specifically adult females of Crepipatella peruviana, in seawater with varying ash concentrations.
- Results showed that increased ash levels led to higher mortality rates and decreased feeding, respiration, tissue weight, and overall health of the organisms.
- Additionally, severe gill degradation was observed, affecting their ability to feed effectively, while some antioxidant responses were triggered in reaction to the ash presence.
The echinoderm has a symbiotic relationship with the pinnotherid crustacean . Females of the crustacean develop in the terminal section of the sea urchin's digestive system, remaining there for life. This relationship has been suggested as commensalism.
