通过时福建罗源湾口海域KMZK5柱状沉积物中甲藻孢囊的分析，共鉴定出15属30种甲藻孢囊，对比发现这30种甲藻孢囊是该湾以前未被记录的种类．其中12种是附近海域也未曾发现的种类，6种为有毒种类：缘亚历山大藻、小型亚历山大藻、塔玛亚历山大藻、具剌膝沟藻、链状裸甲藻、锥状斯氏藻，同时对甲藻孢囊的主要属种和有毒种类的丰度、分布在垂直方向上的变化特征进行了初步研究。     

南麂列岛海域沉积物中甲藻孢囊的多样性和分布

南麂列岛地处亚热带海域,是台湾暖流和江浙沿岸流的交汇处,因而呈现出很好的生物多样性。据调查,南麂列岛附近海域已鉴定的浮游植物甲藻有53种,而到目前为止,对南麂列岛海域甲藻的休眠孢囊种类和分布的调查仍为空白。本文通过对2014年南麂列岛附近海域沉积物中甲藻孢囊的调查研究,在该海域共发现甲藻孢囊10属26种,其中,种类最多的是原多甲藻属(Protoperidinium),有10种;其次是斯氏藻属(Scrippsiella)和亚历山大藻属(Alexandrium),分别有4种,膝沟藻属(Gonyaulax)2种,舌甲藻属(Lingulodinium)、易碎藻属(Fragilidium)、扁甲藻属(Pyrophacus)、翼藻属(Diplopsalis)、裸甲藻属(Gymnodinium)和多沟藻属(Polykrikos)各1种。这些甲藻孢囊中,异养型和自养型甲藻孢囊各13种,自养型甲藻孢囊在数量上所占比例较大(79%)。2014年南麂列岛海域甲藻孢囊丰度较低,每毫升沉积物能检测出2—33个;夏、秋季的孢囊丰富度较高;岙口等相对开放海域的孢囊丰度明显高于岙内各站点。值得注意的是,三种有毒甲藻孢囊,塔玛/相似亚历山大藻(Alexandrium tamarense/affine),具刺膝沟藻(Gonyaulax spinifera)和多边舌甲藻(Lingulodinium polyedra)的孢囊也在样品中检出,并且分别占春季、夏季和秋季孢囊总丰度的37%、23%和27%。本研究为完善南麂列岛甲藻的物种多样性提供了依据。     

闽江口海域表层沉积物中甲藻休眠孢囊的初步研究

对福建闽江口50个站位的海底沉积物样品进行分析,共鉴定出甲藻孢囊17种,隶属7属,主要的种类有锥状斯氏藻(Scrippsiella trochoidea),科夫／无纹多沟藻(Polykrikos kofoidii／schwartzii)、斯氏膝沟藻(G．scrippsae)和具刺膝沟藻(Gonyaulax spinifera)：锥状斯氏藻为最丰富的种：并检出有毒种塔玛亚历山大藻(Alexandrium tamarense)。研究结果表明,闽江口表层沉积物中的甲藻休眠孢囊主要分布在砂-粉砂-粘土沉积物类型中;有毒甲藻塔玛亚历山大藻有可能在每年5-6月、10-11月对该海域的海洋生物和人类健康及生命安全构成潜在威胁,应加强监测。

北黄海中部及四十里湾海域甲藻孢囊种类多样性研究

从2008年至2011年,采集了北黄海和烟台四十里湾海域共49个站点的表层沉积物的样品,并对沉积物中的甲藻孢囊进行鉴定。研究发现41种孢囊,隶属于16属：其中,原多甲藻（Protoperidinium?sp.）孢囊Brigantedinium?aymmetricum?Matsuoka为中国海域新记录种。塔马/链状亚历山大藻Alexandrium?tamarense?/?catenella、微小/相似亚历山大藻Alexandrium?minutum?/?affine、网状原角管藻Protoceratium?reticulatum和膝沟藻Gonyaulax?spp.的孢囊是北黄海中部海域孢囊优势种;膝沟藻Gonyaulax?sp.（Spiniferites?bentori?var.?truncata）、具刺膝沟藻Gonyaulax?spinifera（Spiniferites?hyperacanthus）和网状原角管藻P.?reticulatum的孢囊在烟台四十里湾占优势。另外,研究中还发现三种产虾夷扇贝毒素（YTX）甲藻（具刺膝沟藻G.?spinifera、多边舌甲藻Lingulodinium?polyedra和网状原角管藻P.?reticulatum）的孢囊,在芝罘岛到北黄海中部海域都有较高丰度的分布,另三种产麻痹性贝类毒素（PSP）甲藻（塔马/链状亚历山大藻A.?tamarense?/?catenella、微小/相似亚历山大藻A.?minutum?/?affine和链状裸甲藻Gymnodinium?catenatum）的孢囊,在北黄海中部丰度很高。因此,应加强这些海域的甲藻孢囊监测和研究,预防有毒甲藻赤潮的爆发。最后,通过对比分析北黄海中部及烟台四十里湾这两个海域甲藻孢囊分布特征和环境特征的差异,进一步证明了人类活动对近岸海洋生态环境的影响。     

福建福宁湾表层沉积物中甲藻孢囊分布与多样性研究

孢囊是甲藻生活史中特殊的休眠阶段,被认为是赤潮发生的种源。于2018年4月采集了福建福宁湾海域表层沉积物,对沉积物中甲藻孢囊的分布规律进行了研究,重点揭示有毒有害甲藻孢囊的分布;同时测定了沉积物中生源要素含量,以揭示孢囊分布与生源要素的关系。共鉴定甲藻孢囊25种,其中别什藻(Biecheleria tirezensis)孢囊占据优势。孢囊的种类多样性指数(H'')偏低,为2.06~2.34;均匀度指数(J)为0.71~0.81。孢囊密度介于178.6~386.3 cysts/g (以干重计,下同),平均为286.0cysts/g。孢囊密度高值区位于水深较深、沉积物颗粒较细的长表岛外海域,而低值区则位于长表岛至海尾角的近岸海域。值得注意的是,研究分析鉴定出9种有毒有害甲藻的孢囊,包括麻痹性贝类毒素(paralytic shellfish poisoning,PSP)原因种奥氏亚历山大藻(Alexandrium ostenfeldii)和链状/塔玛亚历山大藻(Alexandrium catenella/tamarense)孢囊复合体、goniodomine A原因种平野亚历山大藻(Alexandrium hiranoi)、虾夷扇贝毒素(yessotoxin,YTX)原因种具刺膝沟藻(Gonyaulax spinifera)和网状原角藻(Protoceratium reticulatum)、产生鱼毒素的哈曼褐多沟藻(Pheopolykrikos hartmannii)以及赤潮藻类Barrufeta bravensis、锥状斯氏藻(Scrippsiella acuminata)和垂裂莱万藻(Levanderina fissa),其中Barrufeta bravensis、Gonyaulax spinifera和Scrippsiella acuminata的孢囊分布广泛且密度较高,需引起关注。

Preliminary study on taxonomy of dinoflagellate cysts from major estuary and bays of Fujian Province, China

According to the morphology, wall structure, color, ornamentation, etc. , 25 speciesbelonging to 9 genera are identified and described from 144 sediment samples of the Xiamen Harbor, the mouth of the Minjiang River and the Sansha Bay. Among them there are 2 toxic species: Alexandrium minutun, A. tamarenes, 4 harmful species: Alexandrium affine, Lingulodinium polyedrum , Scrippsiella trochoide, Gonyaulax spinifera. It shows that 11 species of dinoflagellate cysts (Alexandrium affine, A. minutum , Diplopelta cf. parva , Polykrikos cf. schwartzii, protoceratium reticulatum ,Protoperidinium minutum ,P. cf. minutum,P. cf americanum and Alexandrium sp. , Protoperidinium sp. 1, P . sp. 2) are first recorded along the coast of Fujian Province, China. These newly discovered species might be transported to the coastal sea of Fujian Province by ballast water of international trade vessels.     

Abundance and distribution of dinoflagellate cysts in Xiamen Western Harbor

In a grid investigation, dinoflagellate cysts were collected from sediments in Xiamen Western Harbor in May of 2000, from which five species of cysts were identified: Alexandrium tamarensis, A. minutum, Lingulodinium polyedra, Gonyaulax scrippsae and Gymnodinium catenatum, account for about 21% in the species composition. The quanti-tative analysis of the sediments shows that the number of dinoflagellate cysts varies from 51 to 256 cysts/g of sediment, the highest value (>200 cysts/g) being recorded at the stations of the central part of the bay, while the lowest (<100 cysts/g) at the bay mouth. A good linear relationship is found between cyst amount and fine-grained sediments. Complex physiognomies on the seabed, topographty in the bay and weak water exchange are the main factors not only in cyst accumulation but also in their distribution pattern, and have resulted in the difference in cyst densities between the inner bay and the outer bay in the harbor.

Rapid flow cytometric method for the assessment of toxic dinoflagellate cyst viability

The inadvertent transfer and dispersal of non-indigenous marine species via shipping ballast water is of increasing environmental concern. Despite a major global effort to develop new ballast water treatment technologies, their acceptance has been hampered by the lack of suitable indicator species for assessing treatment effectiveness. Resistant dinoflagellate cysts are one proposed test organism, however their use has been limited due to difficulties in assessing their viability after treatment. The paper describes the development of a rapid method to determine the viability of cysts of the dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella using staining with SYTOX Green and flow-cytometric analysis. The viability of A. catenella cysts was inversely proportional to their ability to take up the stain. There was excellent agreement between cysts measured as viable/non-viable using flow cytometry and cyst viability determined in standard long-term germination tests. Advantages of the flow-cytometric method include high test precision and rapid testing times of < 2 days, compared to > 4 weeks using existing germination methods.
