北部湾北部海域潜在低氧分布及影响研究

通过对2011年北部湾北部海域春季和夏季溶解氧（DO）及其他环境要素进行分析讨论，发现DO的季节性差异较大，春季DO含量（平均8.11 mg/L）明显高于夏季（平均6.05 mg/L）。夏季北部湾底层部分区域存在DO低值，该低值区常年存在，并且DO最低值逐渐降低、低值区范围逐渐扩大。利用相关性分析和灰色关联度分析的方法，对夏季底层DO低值的成因进行分析发现：夏季底层水体浮游植物产氧作用较弱，海水层化作用强，阻碍了表底层DO的交换；另外底层有机质分解的耗氧作用明显，出现了氧气的净消耗，由此导致夏季底层水体出现DO的低值。同时，由于2011年之后北部湾北部海域陆源污染排放和赤潮的频发使得该海域低氧状况加剧，潜在低氧区逐渐发展为低氧区。     

长江口邻近海域溶解氧的时空分布及影响因素研究

基于2018年早春和夏季长江口邻近海域的调查数据,分析溶解氧(DO)的时空分布,并讨论其影响因素.结果表明,夏季DO浓度变化范围为1.58～9.37 mg/L,浮游生物光合作用产生的DO是夏季表层水体过饱和的主要因素;夏季调查海域受台湾暖流北上引起海水层化加强,同时水体富营养化导致表层生物大量繁殖所引起有机碎屑的沉降和耗氧分解作用是底层低氧区存在的主要因素.夏季在台湾暖流影响下底层水体表观耗氧量(AOU)与营养盐成正相关关系,底层有机物耗氧降解过程与营养盐的再生密切相关.早春DO浓度变化范围为7.90～10.1 mg/L,长江口外北部海域和浙江近岸海域海水混合均匀,DO浓度主要受温度控制,而台湾暖流影响区海水出现层化现象,其低DO含量也为低氧区的形成奠定了基础.     

渤海夏季底层氧亏损分布的年际差异分析

通过2014年和2019年观测资料分析了渤海夏季底层水体氧亏损空间分布的年际差异,同时首次揭示了黄河口东侧莱州湾口区域的氧亏损现象,并利用三维物理生态耦合模式ROMS-CoSiNE探究了氧亏损分布年际差异的影响因素。2014年秦皇岛外氧亏损区(以溶解氧(dissolved oxygen, DO)饱和度小于70%为统计范围)主要向东扩展,而2019年则向东南向扩展; 2014年黄河口外氧亏损区主要位于浅滩西南侧的深水洼地,而2019年则从浅滩西侧洼地延伸至黄河口外及莱州湾口区域。通过估算跃层存在期间底层水体的氧收支,得到垂向扩散和生物耗氧分别是底层DO浓度变化的主要源和汇。2014年和2019年秦皇岛外氧亏损空间分布的年际差异,与垂向扩散的差异有关,垂向扩散较弱的区域DO降低速率及降低量较大,氧亏损较强。2019年莱州湾口区域氧亏损与垂向扩散及跃层持续时间有关,较强的黄河径流与南风,有利于冲淡水的扩散,使得莱州湾口区域的跃层强度较大,垂向扩散较弱,DO降低速率较大,跃层持续时间较长,氧亏损强于2014年。此外, 2014年秦皇岛外区域和黄河口外洼地区域DO较低也主要是由2014年跃层持续较长导致,表明跃层持续时间是影响氧亏损年际差异的重要因素。本文中氧亏损年际差异的分析结果,可为将来渤海底层DO季节预测提供参考,具有一定的指导意义。     

南黄海冷水域西部溶解氧垂直分布最大值现象的成因分析

重点分析了南黄海冷水域西部溶解氧(DO)垂直分布中的最大值现象,并对DO浓度与主要环境因子的相关性进行了研究.结果表明:DO垂直分布最大值现象是调查海域DO分布的显著特征,且与SCM现象相伴生;DO垂直分布的最大值深度和量值具有较为明显的区域差异;温、盐是DO最大值层以上水体中氧含量的主要控制因素;一定强度的温跃层形成之后,DO最大值层出现在跃层的下界附近,且其氧含量受控于跃层厚度和生物化学作用,并与跃层厚度呈正相关;底层较低的DO含量是底层水及沉积物中有机物分解耗氧的结果.同时,还成功解释了DO最大值处与次表层叶绿素最大值层位置不吻合且量值不相关的原因,并提出了"DO净积累效应"的观点,不仅从时间跨度以及动态的角度上对DO最大值的形成机制进行了分析,而且从理论上探讨了DO最大值层氧含量(或来源)的构成,指出自DO最大值层开始产生至观测之时该层之下、真光层以内水体中的生物化学作用(或Chl-a总产出)才与氧最大值密切相关.总体来看,水体层化和生物化学作用明显影响着夏季南黄海冷水域西部DO的垂直分布.     

2007年春季南黄海溶解氧的分布特征及影响因素

基于2007年4月对南黄海调查所得的溶解氧(DO)资料,重点分析了DO的分布特征,并在此基础上初步探讨了DO与温、盐度水文要素分布之间的关系。结果表明,2007年春季南黄海DO的质量浓度范围为7.33~11.41 mg/L,平均值为9.24 mg/L;上层水体(0~30 m)中,西南部海域DO质量浓度较低,而在黄海暖流影响的中北部海域,受浮游植物光合作用的影响,DO的质量浓度却保持了一个较高的水平;底层DO质量浓度呈近岸高、远海低的分布趋势,并在黄海暖流影响的中北部海域,由于有机物的耗氧分解,存在1个DO低值区;从DO的垂直分布来看,5 m和10 m层的DO质量浓度均值最高,这一现象可被认为是增温季节DO垂直分布最大值形成的初始阶段,此外,DO断面分布还存在4种典型的类型。水温、浮游植物光合作用以及有机物在底层的分解是影响DO质量浓度的主要因素,而DO分布趋势则主要受控于南黄海环流结构。     

长江口邻近海域九月溶解氧的分布特征

2006年9月对长江口邻近海域溶解氧分布特征进行了调查.结果显示,9月长江口邻近海域溶解氧(DO)处于不饱和状态,不饱和程度由表层至底层逐渐加大.9月底层水仍然存在大面积的贫氧区,但是其分布范围明显小于8月的而大于11月的.垂向DO变化特征显示存在强跃层型、跃层型、弱跃层型及无跃层型四种剖面类型,依次代表水体层化强度由强变弱的过程.水体层化是控制底层水体贫氧的主要因素.     

长江口外颗粒有机碳及光合色素在不同溶氧水平下早期降解速率研究

有机质降解是低氧形成的重要原因.长江口外的低氧近几十年来日趋恶化,引起了大量学者关注,但现场有机质降解及相关的耗氧速率还鲜见报道.本研究通过人工控制体系溶氧(DO)水平,于2006年10月在曾经出现低氧的长江口外近海进行现场有机质降解培养实验,以模拟有机质在沉降进入近底层水后早期(9天)内的生物地球化学过程,估算有机碳降解速率和耗氧速率.培养实验表明,有机质在几天内即可出现明显的降解,并伴随体系pH的下降和细菌、病毒的增加.体系溶氧对有机碳(POC)降解速率影响较大,POC在DO＞95％条件下的降解速率是DO＜50％条件下的5倍,分别为1.5 mmol/(m3·d)和0.3 mmol/(m3·d).光合色素岩藻黄素(FUCO)和叶绿素a(Chla)含量在9天内呈指数下降,其中80％的FUCO在9天内发生了降解.指数方程能较好地实现对观测数据的拟合,结果表明Chl a的半衰期为3-4天.不同溶氧条件下的结果表明低溶氧条件(DO＜50％)下浮游植物更容易成为降解有机质的来源.根据POC降解速率估算得到长江口外溶氧消耗速率分别为82-91 mmol/(m2·d)(DO＞95％条件)和27-30 mmol/(m2·d)(DO＜50％条件),远高于深海氧通量和表层50 m南海的氧消耗通量;以此耗氧速率为基础,估算得到长江口外层化形成至发育出低氧的时间为50-150天.     

1999年和2009年夏季珠江口环境要素的对比与分析

对1999年和2009年夏季珠江口的温、盐、溶解氧、叶绿素和径流量等数据进行分析。结果表明,由于1999年航次期间珠江较大的径流量,1999年冲淡水的扩展范围要大于2009年。1999年夏季珠江口水体存在较强的盐度层结,而2009年夏季受较小的珠江径流量和热带风暴浪卡的共同作用,水体盐度层结较弱,0—5m层水体垂向混合良好。两年夏季珠江口表层溶解氧(DO)的分布较为相似,而底层溶解氧的分布则有显著差异,主要表现在河口西岸浅滩区和河口口门外。1999年河口西岸浅滩区DO小于3mg.L-1,河口口门外DO在4—5mg.L-1之间,2009年河口西岸浅滩DO大于5mg.L-1,河口口门外DO小于3mg.L-1。1999年夏季伶仃洋海域内较强的盐度层结是其底层出现低氧环境的主要原因,2009年夏季强化的垂向混合使得表底层溶解氧得到了及时交换,阻碍了西岸浅滩区底层低氧环境的出现,而盐度层化和浪卡带来的浮游生物的耗氧作用可能是口门外底层出现低氧环境的原因。     

夏、冬季黄东海溶解氧的分布特征研究

本文基于2015年8月和12月的现场调查资料,分析了我国黄东海溶解氧(DO)分布特征与季节变化,并对其影响因素进行了探讨。结果表明:黄东海DO的分布存在明显的时空差异。夏季,DO质量浓度的变化范围为1.92—11.35mg/L,南黄海冷水团海域存在中层水体DO最大值现象;长江口附近(30.73°—32.30°N,122.96°—124.60°E)与浙江近海(28.43°—29.40°N,121.97°—122.63°E)底层存在低氧区(DO3mg/L),面积可达14800km2;且东海外侧底层(28.88°—29.70°N,124.08°—124.90°E)存在DO4mg/L的DO低值区。冬季,DO质量浓度变化范围为4.81—10.29mg/L,总体上呈现近岸高、外海低的分布特征;南黄海中部(33.80°—34.66°N,123.52°—124.23°E)与北部(35.50°—36.36°N,122.96°—123.82°E)底层水体DO质量浓度低于6mg/L,DO最低值为4.81mg/L。黄东海DO分布特征及其变化受物理过程与生物化学过程等多种因素的综合影响,且表现出明显的时空分布差异。     

山东半岛东部近海海水溶解氧时空变化

山东半岛沿岸海域陆海相互作用强烈,有着复杂水动力环境的同时也是我国重要的渔业资源区和水产养殖区,针对其DO时空变化特征及影响机制的研究具有重要意义。本文基于2015—2017年期间的监测数据,研究了山东半岛东部近海海水溶解氧的时空变化特征,并结合实测的温度、盐度、pH数据探究其影响机制。结果表明：表、底层溶解氧的空间分布形态基本一致,水平上呈现出北高南低、外海高近岸低、湾内低于湾外的块状分布特点,垂向上表层高于底层。在监测期间内,溶解氧的季节变化规律为春季最高,夏季最低,具体表现为3月>5月>10月>8月,乳山湾等海湾处的季节波动较大;表底层溶解氧的年际变化略有不同,但均趋于稳定,靖海湾和五垒岛湾近海溶解氧的年际变化显著。表观耗氧量在整个研究阶段的均值为–0.33 mg/L,呈现出基本平衡状态,但乳山湾沿岸海域受到陆源输入有机物的显著影响,贫氧状况频发。监测期间,溶解氧与海水温度呈显著负相关,两者相关系数高达–0.95,其中成山头至石岛海域的溶解氧浓度高值区与当地的低温海水相对应;盐度对溶解氧的影响则相对较弱;有机污染物的聚集常造成乳山湾近岸海域的pH异常,其大量耗氧是导致当地为溶解氧浓度低值区的重要原因。     

Hypoxia in the East China Sea: one of the largest coastal low-oxygen areas in the world

Anoxia and hypoxia have been widely observed in estuarine and coastal regions over the past few decades; however, few reports have focused on the East China Sea (ECS). In June and August 2003, two cruises sampled at stations covering almost the entire shelf of the ECS to examine hypoxic events and their potential causes. In August, DO concentrations <2-3 mg l(-1) covered an area estimated at greater than 12,000 km(2) (or 432 km(3) volume). In contrast, water column DO concentrations exceeded 4 mg l(-1) throughout most of the shelf region. A sharp density gradient was observed under the mixed layer in August, restricting vertical re-aeration across this strong pycnocline. Oxygen depletion events, such as that described here for the ECS shelf, are fueled by decomposition of newly produced marine and river-borne biogenic substances (as well as older residual organic matter) deposited to the bottom waters.     

乳山湾邻近海域低氧现象及成因浅析

根据2009-06-2009-09及2010-05-2010-06在乳山湾及其毗邻海域的综合调查,分析了该海域溶解氧的变化,初步探讨了影响溶解氧变化及底层低氧形成的原因。结果表明,夏季乳山湾邻近海域存在季节性低溶解氧区,溶解氧在6,7月份相对较高,而在8,9月份相对较低,最低值出现在8月份,为3.21mg/L(饱和度为35.5%),表观耗氧量为5.82mg/L。乳山湾外邻近水域溶解氧略高于湾口和湾内。底层溶解氧水平受到潮汐的影响,具有较大的周日波动性,变化范围介于3.74～8.26mg/L;在落潮时质量浓度降低而在涨潮时质量浓度升高。在这一区域存在较为强烈的温、盐跃层,从而限制了表、底层溶解氧的交换,而COD质量浓度的升高为这一区域的耗氧过程提供了一定的物质基础。潮汐、黄海冷水团的顶托作用、有机物质在底层水域的氧化作用以及底泥耗氧过程导致底层溶解氧的亏损。     

Origins and temporal scales of hypoxia on the Louisiana shelf: Importance of benthic and sub-pycnocline water metabolism

Hypoxic-to-anoxic conditions (2–0 mg O₂ l^− 1) occur in the bottom waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico on the Louisiana shelf west of the Mississippi river delta during late spring and summer where the rate of oxygen consumption exceeds its rate of input from physical transport plus photosynthetic generation. Although consumption of oxygen in the water column primarily via oxic respiration is an important process, the loss of oxygen at and near the seafloor may also be an important sink contributing to seasonal low oxygen conditions in the relatively shallow overlying waters in this region. Associated with the flux of oxygen into the sediments is the flux of nutrients out of the sediments from the remineralization of sedimentary organic matter via a number of possible electron acceptors. The nutrients that are released from the sediment can potentially stimulate further primary production. This can lead to generation of oxygen in the water column and production of organic matter, much of which can be transported to the seafloor where it again becomes a sink for oxygen.A non-steady-state data driven numeric benthic–pelagic model was developed to investigate the role of sediment and water-column metabolism in the development of hypoxia on the Louisiana shelf. The model simulations bare out the importance of sediment oxygen demand as the primary sink for oxygen at the beginning and end of a hypoxic event on the shelf, but once hypoxia has developed, the sediments, now isolated from the oxygen-rich surface waters, are driven into a more anoxic mode, becoming more dependent on sulfate and metal reduction. As a result, the bottom water near the pycnocline becomes the major sink for oxygen.Model simulations also suggest that there is a delay of several weeks between metabolite production (especially ammonium) and its efflux from the sediments. Thus the maximum sediment ammonium export occurs in September and October in time to fuel autumnal phytoplankton production, thereby continuing a biogeochemical cycle that expands the temporal and spatial scales of hypoxia on the Louisiana shelf.     

Seasonal and sub-seasonal oxygen and nutrient fluctuations in an embayment of an eastern boundary upwelling system: St Helena Bay

Seasonal, sub-seasonal and spatial fluctuations in bottom dissolved oxygen (DO) were examined in St Helena Bay, South Africa’s largest and most productive embayment, between November 2013 and November 2014. Alongshore bay characteristics were assessed through comparison of variables along the 50-m depth contour. A mean coefficient of variation of 0.35 provided a measure of the relative variability of near-bottom DO concentrations along this contour. Consistently lower DO concentrations in the southern region of the bay in summer and autumn are attributed to enhanced retention. Across-shelf transects captured the seasonal development of hypoxia in relation to the distribution of phytoplankton biomass. Exceptional dinoflagellate blooms form extensive subsurface thin layers preceding the autumn DO minima in the south of the bay, prior to winter ventilation of the bottom waters. The seasonal decline in DO concentrations in the bottom waters was marked by sub-seasonal events of hypoxia, and ultimately anoxia linked to episodic deposition of organic matter, as indicated by increases in bottom chlorophyll-a concentrations. Seasonal changes in bottom water macronutrient concentrations followed trends in apparent oxygen utilisation (AOU), both of which mirrored DO concentrations. In the south of the bay, nitrogen loss through denitrification/anammox in suboxic waters was indicated by a dissolved inorganic N deficit in the bottom waters, which was most pronounced in autumn.     

受扰动海域大型底栖动物群落特征及基于AMBI和M-AMBI指数的生态健康评价：以山东烟台辛安河口为例

To understand the ecological status and macrobenthic assemblages of the Xin'an River Estuary and its adjacent waters, a survey was conducted for environmental variables and macrobenthic assemblage structure in September 2012(Yantai, China). Several methods are adopted in the data analysis process: dominance index,diversity indices, cluster analysis, non-metric multi-dimentional scaling ordination, AMBI and M-AMBI. The dissolved inorganic nitrogen and soluble reactive phosphorus of six out of eight sampling stations were in a good condition with low concentration. The average value of DO((2.89±0.60) mg/L) and p H(4.28±0.43) indicated that the research area faced with the risk of ocean acidification and underlying hypoxia. A total of 62 species were identified, of which the dominant species group was polychaetes. The average abundance and biomass was577.50 ind./m2 and 6.01 g/m2, respectively. Compared with historical data, the macrobenthic assemblage structure at waters around the Xin'an River Estuary was in a relatively stable status from 2009 to 2012.Contaminant indicator species Capitella capitata appeared at Sta. Y1, indicating the animals here suffered from hypoxia and acidification. AMBI and M-AMBI results showed that most sampling stations were slightly disturbed,which were coincided with the abiotic measurement on evaluating the health conditions. Macrobenthic communities suffered pressures from ocean acidification and hypoxia at the research waters, particularly those at Stas Y1, Y2 and Y5, which displays negative results in benthic health evaluation.     

秦皇岛近岸海域夏季小型水母分布特征

本研究基于2014—2018年每年8月份,于秦皇岛海域使用浅水Ⅰ型浮游生物网采集的浮游动物样品数据,分析了小型水母群落的组成种类和丰度分布特征及环境因子与水母群落特征之间的关系。结果如下:2014—2018年调查海域共出现小型水母13种,其中2014、2015和2017年夏季水母种类数均为7种,2016年夏季水母种类数为6种,2018年夏季水母种类数最少,仅为2种。秦皇岛近岸水域水母的优势种包括薮枝螅水母、球型侧腕水母和锡兰和平水母。2016年夏季秦皇岛水域水母丰度的平均值最高,达到了95.0ind./m³。2014、2015和2018年分别为66.9ind./m³、69.1ind./m³和35.4ind./m³。2017年最低,为14.9ind./m³。通过小型水母丰度与环境因子之间的相关性分析,结果显示:温度、盐度、pH、磷酸盐、溶解氧、无机氮、悬浮物等环境因子会对秦皇岛夏季水域水母群落结构的年际间变化产生显著影响。     

Carbon dioxide stored and acidified low oxygen bottom waters in coastal seas,Japan

Recently carbon dioxide fluxes between sea water and air have been measured in many coastal seas to clarify whether the coastal seas are source or sink of CO₂. In this study behavior of CO₂ within the water column was studied in a semi-enclosed coastal sea: the Seto Inland Sea, Japan. It was found that seasonal formation of hypoxic water mass is highly related to CO₂ dynamics in coastal seas. Bacterial remineralization of organic matter consumes dissolved oxygen (DO) and releases dissolved CO₂ in the bottom water when summertime thermal stratification develops. The CO₂ accumulates within the low DO bottom water (hypoxic water) and causes increasing of carbonic acid content which results in low pH. Concentrations of dissolved CO₂ and pH are highly correlated with DO concentration. The summertime low DO and acidification (low pH) occur in the lower layer every year. The accumulated CO₂ during the summer season is dispersed to the atmosphere at the beginning of mixing season.     

海洋酸化和低氧及其节律性变化对海蜇碟状幼体的影响

人类生产活动引起的全球气候变化加剧作为重要的环境问题, 海洋中pCO₂和溶解氧的失衡及富营养化加剧了许多沿海生态系统的酸化和低氧现象。海蜇(Rhopilema esculentum)为我国重要的渔业资源之一, 具有食用价值及潜在药用价值。本研究评估了海蜇碟状幼体在海洋酸化和低氧及其昼夜节律变化胁迫下的生理响应: 碟状幼体暴露于两个pH水平(酸化pH 7.6, 正常pH 8.1)和两个溶解氧水平(低氧2mg·L^-1, 常氧7mg·L^-1)维持7d, 胁迫因素维持恒定或昼夜节律性变化, 测定其伞部直径、收缩频率及酸碱平衡、免疫和抗氧化相关酶活力。研究表明, 海洋酸化和低氧在不同程度上影响海蜇碟状幼体的生理代谢和生长发育, 且酸化和低氧之间表现出部分拮抗作用, 昼夜波动的暴露模式对海蜇碟状幼体的损伤程度大于恒定的暴露模式。
