The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of exposured Cu 2+ on growth and bioaccumulation of abalone Haliotis discus hannai. Abalone were exposed to various concentration of Cu 2+ (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 ㎍/L). Bioaccumulation of tissues, hepatopancreas, muscles and gills were measured. hepatopancreas and gills Cu 2+ concentration of abalone increases to extent during the 4 weeks accumulation time. But muscles showed no significant changes, with respect to control. These data indicate that abalone Haliotis discus hannai hepatopancreas and gills can be considered adequate target tissues for waterborne exposured of Cu 2+. Weight growth rate of abalone exposed to Cu 2+ was significantly decreased in 20 and 40 ㎍/L groups compared to control. This study revealed that high Cu 2+ concentration (≥ 20 ㎍/ℓ) reduced growth of abalone. These data indicate that excessive waterborne Cu 2+ can affect the toxicity of xenbiotics to abalone through alterations in growth rate. Thus, environmental standard of Cu 2+ 20 ㎍/L, should be considered a potential source of variation in toxicological studies with abalone.
