海洋浮游纤毛虫摄食研究综述

海洋浮游纤毛虫是海洋微食物环的重要组成部分,同时也是连接海洋微食物环和经典食物链的重要环节。研究海洋浮游纤毛虫的摄食情况对了解海洋浮游纤毛虫在海洋浮游生态系统物质循环和能量流动中的作用有重要意义。主要研究内容包括纤毛虫的食性、纤毛虫对不同饵料的摄食强度(摄食率、清滤率)和选择性、影响摄食的因素及摄食后的同化和排遗。海洋浮游纤毛虫食性的研究方法主要有两种,分别为体内饵料颗粒法和维持生长法。实验室内估算纤毛虫摄食率和清滤率主要有两种方法,分别为饵料浓度差减法和体内饵料颗粒增多法。可以用特定体积清滤率和特定生物量摄食率来比较不同种纤毛虫的清滤率和摄食率。已有研究结果表明,纤毛虫的饵料包括较小的纤毛虫、硅藻、甲藻、鞭毛虫、聚球藻、原绿球藻和细菌等。纤毛虫的摄食率范围为0.1—920 cells/(ciliate h),清滤率范围为0—110μL/(ciliate h)。纤毛虫对饵料的粒径和化学性质均有选择性。饵料浓度、温度、光线、扰动以及纤毛虫所处的生长阶段都会对纤毛虫的摄食率产生影响。不同种类纤毛虫对不同种类饵料的同化率(67%—79%)和消化时间(13.7 min—24 h)不同。     

胶州湾桡足类幼虫和浮游生纤毛虫的丰度与生物量

1997年9月，12月，1998年2月，4月，8月，11月以及1999年2月和5大以胶州湾采集桡足类幼虫和浮游生纤毛虫的样品，样品用Lugol‘s试剂固定（最后浓度1％），用显微镜计数桡足类幼虫和浮游生纤毛虫的丰度，并计算总生物量（表层生物量和水体生物量）。桡足类幼虫，无壳纤毛虫和砂壳纤毛虫的最大丰度分别为850ind/L(1998年8月），21300ind/L(1998年8月）和172ind／L(1999年5），表层的总丰度为10－22630ind/L，平均分布湾内比湾外多，表层纤毛虫和桡足类幼虫的总生物量为0．10－380.27ugC/L，水体的生物量为0．20－1426.02mgC/m^2.     

温度对微型鞭毛虫摄食细菌的影响

为研究温度对微型鞭毛虫（Nanoflagellates,NF）摄食细菌的影响,于广西近岸海区采集NF自然群落,置于实验室不同温度下（14℃、22℃、28℃）培养9天,观察细菌和NF的丰度变化。并以荧光细菌标记法研究不同温度下异养微型鞭毛虫（Hetertrophic Nanoflagellates,HNF）和含色素微型鞭毛虫（Pigmented Nanoflagellates,PNF）对细菌的摄食率,计算不同类型NF的群落摄食率。此外,研究还比较了不同粒径PNF （<3 μm和3~10 μm）对细菌的摄食。结果表明,不同类型的NF对细菌的摄食率由大到小为:3~10 μm PNF、HNF、小于3 μm PNF。较之PNF,HNF的摄食受温度影响较小。PNF的摄食率在22℃最大。而且,不同大小PNF的摄食对温度的响应有所不同。升温可以提高3~10 μm PNF的摄食率,但会抑制小于3 μm PNF的摄食。而降温抑制3~10 μm PNF的摄食,但降温对小于3 μm PNF摄食的抑制作用比升温小。但无论是3~10 μm PNF还是小于3 μm PNF,升温均会降低其丰度。而由于丰度减小对群落摄食率的影响更大,因此,升温降低PNF的群落摄食率。     

海洋浮游桡足类摄食纤毛虫的研究

20世纪60年代起,人们发现了许多有关桡足类摄食纤毛虫的直接或间接的证据。20世纪70年代,有人在实验室内培养纤毛虫并开展桡足类对其清滤率的研究,结果表明桡足类对纤毛虫的清滤率为0.1—58.1mL/(ind.·h)。桡足类对纤毛虫的摄食方式有多种,包括伏击摄食和通过游泳过滤海水中的纤毛虫等。有的纤毛虫有逃避摄食的行为。20世纪80年代末,自然状况下桡足类群体对自然饵料中纤毛虫的摄食得到了研究,结果表明桡足类对纤毛虫的清滤率多数情况下低于40mL/(ind.·h)。实验室内和自然海区的研究都表明,与浮游植物相比,桡足类倾向于选择摄食纤毛虫。根据现场测定的清滤率和桡足类丰度估计自然海区桡足类对纤毛虫的摄食压力的大部分研究结果表明,桡足类群体对纤毛虫生物量的摄食压力大约为每天5%。这些自然海区的研究多集中在近岸区域,需要加强对大洋浮游桡足类摄食纤毛虫的研究。     

环境因素对短角异剑水蚤摄食的影响

通过单因子实验,研究了短角异剑水蚤(Apocyclops royi)在不同温度、光照、pH 值、饵料密度以及单性条件下对盐生杜氏藻的滤水率(F)和滤食率(G),及其对3种常见饵料微藻(盐生杜氏藻、球等边金藻和海水小球藻)摄食的选择性,旨在为该物种的人工高效可控培养提供实验和技术基础.结果表明,实验温度范围内(20,25和30℃),短角异剑水蚤对盐生杜氏藻的滤水率和滤食率差异不显著,其中25℃时 F和 G 较高,分别为(0.049±0.014)mL/(个?h)和(1.393±0.369)×104个/(个?h);滤水率和滤食率随光照强度的增加而升高,光照强度为9800 lx 时 F 和 G 最高,分别为(0.053±0.012)mL/(个?h)和(1.295±0.303)×104个/(个?h); pH 值为9.0时,滤水率和滤食率显著高于其他实验组(7.0、8.0、10.0);滤水率随饵料密度的增加呈现先增加后降低的趋势,滤食率随饵料密度的增大而升高;滤水率和滤食率存在性别差异,雌性的 F 和 G 均比雄性约高16%.实验的3种微藻中,球等鞭金藻的选择性指数最高.     

胶州湾初级生产力周年变化

根据2003年5月—2004年4月逐月对胶州湾初级生产力的调查研究,分析讨论了胶州湾初级生产力的周年动态变化特征。结果表明,胶州湾初级生产力存在着明显的季节变化:夏季是一年中的高峰,平均为835.72mgC/(m2.d),春、秋季次之,分别为286.00mgC/(m2.d)和247.81mgC/(m2.d),冬季最低,平均为102.27mgC/(m2.d)。初级生产力平面分布特征为:夏季高值区一般位于湾西北部和东北部近岸水域,秋季至次年春末的高值区一般位于湾东北部近岸水域,湾中部和湾口海域较低。湾外海域除夏末秋初与湾中部水平接近外,其它季节比湾中部和湾口低,呈自湾内向湾外递降的分布趋势。6月下旬记录到7213.48mgC/(m2.d)初级生产力的最高值,位于湾东侧近岸,该高值持续时间很短,在时间上恰巧对应于一周前的一次强降雨过程。温度是影响胶州湾初级生产力季节变化的决定因子。     

几种微藻对方斑东风螺浮游幼虫生长和变态的影响

本文报道了4种微藻不同浓度对方斑东风螺幼虫生长和变态的影响.结果表明,幼虫对4种微藻都能摄食,当投喂不同浓度的牟氏角毛藻、湛江叉鞭金藻时,摄食角毛藻(20×104cells/cm3)生长最快达77.9μm/d、变态率52.5%;摄食金藻(20×104cells/cm3)变态率最高达59.0%、生长速度70.4μm/d,随金藻浓度的上升,幼虫生长速度和变态率都上升.投喂不同浓度的青岛大扁藻时,最高变态率是24.4%(1×104cells/cm3),最快生长速度是59.3μm/d(7×104cells/cm3),随扁藻浓度的上升,幼虫的生长速度上升而变态率下降.摄食云微型藻幼虫生长缓慢,浮游期全部死亡.幼虫单独摄食角毛藻、金藻和扁藻,其首次出现变态个体的日龄分别是10、11、14d,而完成变态的日龄分别是22~23d、21~23d和26~28d.比较上述4种微藻,角毛藻和金藻是方斑东风螺幼虫的最适饵料,根据大水体人工育苗的具体条件,合适浓度应为角毛藻(5~10)×104cells/cm3,金藻(10~15)×104cells/cm3.而扁藻不宜单独投喂,作为辅助饵料较合适.     

日本对虾仔虾呼吸和排泄的初步研究

本文采用水瓶法和径流装置研究了不同温度下摄食和饥饿的日本对虾（Penaeus japonicus)仔虾（P）的呼吸与排泄。结果表明，日本对虾仔虾体长与干体重呈指数函数关系，DW＝0．006e^0.515L(r^2=0.999,n=16)；耗氧和氨排泄率随着温度的升高而提高、随着仔虾体重的增长反而变小；耗氧和氨排泄率与体重呈幂函数关系，30和26℃下耗氧率（R）与体重的关系方程式分别是R＝2.669DW^-1.041(r^2=0.953,n=8)和R=2.370DW^-0.708,(r^2=0.533,n=8)，30和26℃下氨排泄率（E）与体重的关系方程式分别是E＝36.81DW^-0.615(r^2=0.654,n=8) 和E＝15．28DW^-0.795(r^2=0.652,n=8）；饱食仔虾的耗氧率明显高于饥饿的仔虾，因摄食使仔虾（P15）额外消耗的能量为4％－20％，仔虾的特殊动力作用（SDA）大约在摄食5－7h后发生，并可持续作用10h左右。     

海洋微藻培育系统抗弧菌作用机理

于1996年1－6月在中国科学院海洋研究所对微藻培育系统抗弧菌作用机理进行研究。结果表明，球等鞭金藻3011、三角褐指藻2038、扁藻1040及小球藻1061等4种饵料微藻中与藻共存细菌单菌株及群落均无限制弧菌生长作用；各培养时期除菌微藻3011不能限制弧菌生长；除菌微藻2038具有微弱限制弧菌生长能力，处于生长指数后期时作用相对较强，与藻共存细菌群落回加除菌微藻3011及2038，则恢复排斥弧菌能力，细菌先于弧菌加入时（如先加入3d)排斥能力显现较快，反之则较慢。另外还发现，除菌藻2038代谢产物（0．65μm 滤膜过滤获得）无限制弧菌生长能力，4种饵料微藻（自然藻－菌混和体）代谢产物（0．2及0．65μm滤膜过滤获得）无限制弧菌生长作用。因此，微藻培育系统抗弧菌机理可归结为：以微藻为基础的微小生物群落因优先占有生态空间而对弧菌菌群具有排它性。     

厦门杏林虾池夏冬季微型浮游动物对浮游植物的摄食压力

20 0 0年 8月和 2 0 0 1年 2月 ,在杏林虾池用稀释法研究了微型浮游动物对浮游植物的摄食压力 .结果表明 :砂壳纤毛虫、甲壳类无节幼体是微型浮游动物的优势种 ;浮游植物生长率夏季为 0 .40～ 1 .0 1 /d、冬季为 0 .1 8～ 0 .96/d ;浮游动物的摄食率夏季为 0 .578～ 1 .3 2 4/d、冬季为 0 .2 0 4～ 0 .2 55/d ;日摄食率 (以C计 )夏季为 1 9.1 7～89.51mg/(m3·d)、冬季为 3 .3 2～ 7.2 3mg/(m3·d) ,各占浮游植物现存量的 43 .90 %～ 73 .40 %、1 8.43 %～ 2 2 .51 %;对初级生产力的摄食压力夏季为 1 1 5.2 3 %～1 93 .52 %、冬季为 3 7.47%～ 1 1 1 .3 1 %.     

Abundance, variability, and potential grazing impact of planktonic ciliates in the open subaratic Pacific Ocean

The abundance and variability of planktonic ciliates in the open subarctic Pacific were determined during four month-long cruises in 1987 and 1988. The ciliate community, numerically dominated by relatively small aloricate choreotrichs, was comparable in abundance to communities in a range of oceanic and neritic environments, including waters with much higher average chlorophyll concentrations. Integrated (0–80m) ciliate biomass was typically 100–200mgC m⁻², although 3- to 4-fold higher levels were observed on two occasions in spring. Ciliate community biomass, in general, was dominated by large (>20μm width) individuals, although in August 1988 the biomass of smaller cells was as great or greater. The estimated grazing impact of the ciliate community averaged 20% of the primary production. On one instance in May 1988, however, a large biomass of ciliates led to an estimated grazing impact equivalent to 55% of phytoplankton production. While ciliates may be major phytoplankton grazers during sporadic ciliate “blooms”, dino- and other heterotrophic flagellates, which make up the bulk of microheterotroph biomass, must normally be of equal or greater importance as herbivores in this ocean region.     

Microzooplankton and mesozooplankton in an upwelling filament off Galicia: modelling and sensitivity analysis of the linkages and their impact on the carbon dynamics

This paper reports estimates of trophic flows of carbon off the Galician coast from a 1D ecological model, which are compared with field data from a two week Lagrangian drift experiment. The model consists of 9 biological components: nitrate, ammonium, >5μm phytoplankton, <5μm phytoplankton, heterotrophic nanoflagellates/dinoflagellates (5–20 μm), heterotrophic dinoflagellates (>20 μm), ciliates, fast sinking detritus and slow sinking detritus. Calculations were made for the fluxes of carbon between biological components within the upper 45m of the water column. The temporal development of primary production during the simulation period of two weeks was in good agreement with field estimates, which varied between 248 and 436mgC.m⁻².d⁻¹. Heterotrophic nanoflagellates had the greatest impact on carbon flux, with a grazing rate of 168mgC.m⁻².d⁻¹. Herbivorous grazing by microzooplankton amounted to 215mgC.m⁻².d⁻¹, whereas grazing by copepods on phytoplankton was 35mgC.m⁻² d⁻¹. Copepods grazing on microzooplankton was minor (0.47mgC.m⁻².d⁻¹) and the export flux from the upper 45m was 302mgC.m⁻².d⁻¹. Sensitivity analyses, in which the grazing parameters (i.e the functional relationship between ingestion and food concentration) were changed, were carried out on the heterotrophic dinoflagellate, ciliate and heterotrophic nanoflagellates/dinoflagellate components of the model. These changes did not alter the temporal development of heterotrophic nanoflagellates/dinoflagellates biomass significantly, but ciliates and heterotrophic dinoflagellates were more sensitive to variations in the grazing parameters. The overall conclusion from this modelling study is that the coupling between small phytoplankton and heterotrophic nanoflagellates was the quantitatively most important process controlling carbon flow in this region.     

围隔实验研究台湾海峡2005年夏季小型浮游动物对硅藻水华的摄食

为了研究小型浮游动物对近岸浮游植物藻华的摄食调控作用,于2005年7月,应用"稀释法"并结合高效液相色谱(HPLC)光合色素分析技术,研究了台湾海峡船基围隔实验条件下浮游植物生长率及小型浮游动物摄食率的日变动。结果表明:由于营养盐添加的影响,迅速形成了以尖刺伪菱形藻(Pseudo-nitzschia pungens)为优势种的藻华,生物量(叶绿素a)从实验初始7月6日的1.45μg/dm3迅速增加到7月8日的29.80μg/dm3,随后消退。镜检和光合色素分析的结果显示,实验期间一直以此硅藻占绝对优势。浮游植物的生长率在藻华峰值(7月8日)前保持了较高的生长速率(>1.0/d)且大于小型浮游动物的摄食率;小型浮游动物的摄食率也逐渐增加,7月7日时达到0.86/d,显示有57%以上的浮游植物现存量被摄食。7月8日后,水华迅速消退,摄食率除13日外,均大于浮游植物的生长率。小型浮游动物主要由急游虫(Strombidium spp.)、侠盗虫(Strobilidium spp.)等无壳纤毛虫、异养甲藻-螺旋环沟藻(Gyrodinium spirale)及砂壳纤毛虫等组成,其对浮游植物的生长迅速作出了反应,各类群的丰度在水华峰值后的7月9日均几达最大值,水华后期(11日)大型的无壳纤毛虫达最大值。小型浮游动物的这种组成及变动特点是其保持较高摄食率及一定程度上控制和促进藻华消退的原因之一。     

Release of dissolved amino acids by flagellates and ciliates grazing on bacteria

Release of amino acids was examined in the laboratory in the form of dissolved primary amine (DPA) by two marine planktonic protozoa (the oligotrichous ciliate, Strombidium sulcatum and the aplastidic flagellate Pseudobodo sp.) grazing on bacteria. DPA release rates were high (19–25 × 10⁻⁶ and 1.8–2.3 × 10⁻⁶ μmol DPA cell⁻¹ h⁻¹ for flagellates and ciliates, respectively) during the exponential phase, when the ingestion rates were maximum. Release rates were lower during the other growth phases. The release of DPA accounted for 10 % (flagellates) and 16 % (ciliates) of the total nitrogen ingested. Our data suggest that the release of DPA by protozoa could play an important role in supporting bacterial and consequently autotrophic pico- and nanoplankton growth, especially in oligotrophic waters, where the release of phytoplanktonic dissolved organic matter is low.     

台湾海峡小型浮游动物的摄食对夏季藻华演替的影响

于2004年8月1~6日对台湾海峡南部近岸的藻华过程进行了定点连续跟踪观测,用稀释法研究了浮游植物的生长率和小型浮游动物对浮游植物的摄食死亡率,同时运用高效液相色谱(HPLC)技术,分析了浮游植物不同光合色素类群的生长率和摄食死亡率.结果表明,观测期间处于藻华的消退期.8月1日时,浮游植物生物量(叶绿素a)和丰度分别为2.04μg/dm3和2.99×105个/dm3,主要优势种为尖刺伪菱形藻(Pseudo-nitzschia pungens)、冰河拟星杆藻(Asterionellopsis glacialis)和中肋骨条藻(Skeletonema costatum),8月6日时,浮游植物生物量和丰度分别减为0.37μg/dm3和1.54×104个/dm3;而蓝藻和甲藻的丰度和比例则呈现出逐渐增加的趋势,所占的比重分别从1日的0.04%和0.85%增加到6日的9.59%和41.97%.小型浮游动物主要由无壳纤毛虫、砂壳纤毛虫、红色中缢虫(Mesodinium rubrum)和异养甲藻等类群组成,总丰度于8月2日达到最大值,为3640个/dm3,之后逐渐减少,6日时,仅为436个/dm3.观测期间,小型浮游动物在群落组成上虽一直以无壳纤毛虫和异养甲藻为主,但在具体的类群结构上却表现出了一定的差异,30μm以下的无壳纤毛虫和异养甲藻总体呈下降的趋势,而红色中缢虫、砂壳纤毛虫和大于50μm的无壳纤毛虫总体呈增加的趋势.观测期间,浮游植物的生长率为0.40~0.91d-1,小型浮游动物的摄食率为0.26~1.34d-1,摄食率和生长率总体呈逐渐下降的趋势.结果还表明,小型浮游动物的摄食率与叶绿素a具有很好的相关性(R2=0.89),对各光合色素类群的现存量和初级生产力均具有较高的摄食压力(分别为37.97%~82.24%和70.71%~281.33%),是藻华消亡的重要原因之一;此外,小型浮游动物对甲藻和蓝藻的避食行为,可能是观测期间由“硅藻”水华向“硅藻-甲藻”水华转变的重要原因之一.

冬季台湾海峡210Po和210Pb的分布特征及颗粒物的输出

~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb are increasingly used to constrain particle dynamics in the open oceans, however they are less used in coastal waters. Here, distributions and partitions of ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb were examined in the Taiwan Strait, as well as their application to quantify particle sinking. Activity concentrations of dissolved ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb(0.6 μm)ranged from 1.21 to 7.63 dpm/(100 L) and from 1.07 to 6.33 dpm/(100 L), respectively. Activity concentrations of particulate ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb varied from 1.96 to 36.74 dpm/(100 L) and from 3.11 to 38.06 dpm/(100 L). Overall,particulate ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb accounted for the majority of the bulk ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb. 210 Po either in dissolved or particulate phases showed similar spatial patterns to 210 Pb, indicating similar mechanisms for controlling the distributions of ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb in the Taiwan Strait. The different fractionation coefficients indicated that particles in the Zhemin Coastal Current(ZCC) inclined to absorb 210 Po prior to 210 Pb while they showed an opposite effect in the Taiwan Warm Current(TWC). Based on the disequilibria between ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb, the sinking fluxes of total particulate matter(TPM) were estimated to range from –0.22 to 3.84 g/(m2·d), showing an overall comparable spatial distribution to previous reported sediment accumulation rates. However, our sinking fluxes were lower than the sedimentation rates, indicating a sediment resuspension in winter and horizontal transport of particulate matter from the Taiwan Strait to the East China Sea.
