基于三种分子标记的外伶仃岛石珊瑚系统进化关系研究

以广东省珠海市外伶仃岛地区常见的4属5种石珊瑚为研究对象,对线粒体COI、16S rRNA和ITS三种基因片段数据进行分析,并计算了种间遗传距离。序列分析结果表明5种石珊瑚的COI、16S rRNA基因片段碱基AT含量大于GC含量,而ITS序列碱基AT含量小于GC含量;5种石珊瑚种间的三种基因平均遗传距离分别为0.043、0.134和0.763,所得遗传距离结果存在一定差异。将三种基因串联起来并利用邻位连接法(NJ)、最大似然法(ML)和最小进化法(ME)分别构建了分子系统树。在系统发育树中,科一级的系统进化关系与形态学分类一致,但蜂巢珊瑚科内的分子系统分类结果与形态学分类阐述的遗传进化关系略有差别,说明石珊瑚传统分类可能受骨骼可塑性的影响。研究结果为外伶仃岛石珊瑚的亲缘关系研究提供相关基础数据,并为该地区石珊瑚资源保护奠定理论基础。     

基于线粒体DNA部分片段探讨石鲽与星突江鲽的亲缘关系

比较分析了石鲽和星突江鲽线粒体基因组COI、Cytb基因以及D-loop片段总长度为1175 bp的核苷酸序列,探讨了石鲽与星突江鲽的亲缘关系。2种间共检测到95处核苷酸替代,蛋白质编码基因上的核苷酸替代主要是第三密码子位点上的同义替换。核苷酸组成分析结果表明:3个目的片段的鸟嘌呤(G)含量普遍较低,在2个蛋白质编码基因第三密码子位点上表现得尤为明显。线粒体COI、Cytb基因和D-loop片段序列分析显示石鲽与星突江鲽间平均遗传距离分别为0.043、0.062和0.153,属于属内种间差异水平。2种鲽鱼在线粒体基因组不同片段上存在明显的遗传分化,核苷酸替代速率由大到小依次为D-loopCytbCOI。贝叶斯法、邻近距离法和最大简约法构建的系统发育树一致,皆显示石鲽与星突江鲽遗传关系很近。基于Cytb基因片段序列的分析结果表明:石鲽与星突江鲽的分歧时间约为185万年,分化事件发生于更新世中期(Middle Pleistocene)。

藤壶科DNA 分类研究

围胸总目藤壶科的分类系统经历了二亚科系统(小藤壶亚科 Chthamalinae,藤壶亚科 Balaninae)、三亚科系统[藤壶亚科(Balaninae),巨藤壶亚科(Megabalaninae),凹藤壶亚科(Concavinae)],现在采用的是四亚科系统[藤壶亚科(Balaniae)、纹藤壶亚科(Amphibalanus)、巨藤壶亚科(Megabalaninae)和凹藤壶亚科(Concavinae)],但各亚科之间的系统演化关系尚未进行过分子系统学方面的研究.许多藤壶科物种存在趋同进化的趋势,致使传统的形态分类存在困难,不能正确地进行鉴别.本文测定了藤壶科3个亚科里个代表种的线粒体 COI,16S 和12S 基因的部分序列,结合 GenBank 中藤壶科其他物种的12S,28S和18S等基因序列,比较了不同基因片段作为鉴别藤壶科物种的条形码的可行性和有效性,并联合16S和12S序列初步分析了藤壶科各亚科之间的一些亲缘关系.研究结果表明:COI基因的种间和种内遗传距离有明显的间隔区, COI最小种间距离为0.122,远大于最大种内距离0.023,而16S基因的种间与种内距离存在覆盖,最小种间距离为0.018,小于最大种内距离0.023,因此表明,线粒体基因 COI能更准确地鉴定藤壶科种间以及种内关系,并得出阈值为种内差异小于0.023,种间差异大于0.1.ML和BI系统发育分析结果基本一致,支持4亚科的分类系统;巨藤壶亚科形成明显单系群,支持率很高,而两种纹藤壶和管藤壶聚成一支,形成一个单系,本结果支持Newman & Ross的假说,即纹藤壶属和管藤壶属应合并.

印度-太平洋石鲈亚科鱼类DNA条形码及分子系统进化研究

为探讨DNA条形码基因COⅠ序列在石鲈亚科鱼类物种鉴定的有效性,本研究分析了印度-太平洋区域的石鲈亚科7个属29种鱼类9个个体长度为651 bp的COⅠ基因序列,利用MEGA 5.0计算石鲈亚科种内与种间的遗传距离,并基于最大简约法与最大似然法构建了其分子系统进化关系。结果显示:石鲈亚科鱼类种间遗传距离在0.021—0.240之间,平均遗传距离0.184;种内遗传距离在0.000—0.009之间,平均0.004。其中种间平均遗传距离(0.184)显著大于种内平均遗传距离(0.004),种间遗传距离是种内的46倍。同时,各物种间遗传距离均大于Hebert推荐区分物种的最小种间遗传距离0.02(2%)。基于COⅠ序列构建的系统进化树,同一物种不同个体间均能聚成独立的单系,表明COⅠ基因可作为石鲈亚科物种准确鉴定的有效条形码基因。同时,系统进化树上,石鲈属是非单系类群,主要形成5个分支,而不同分支的种类与其地理分布存在一定的相关性,与近年部分分子系统地理学的研究观点一致。     

12种石鲈科鱼类线粒体16S rRNA基因的部分序列分析

分析了5属12种石鲈科鱼类的线粒体16S rRNA基因部分序列特征,并参照RNA二级结构模型区分配对区和非配对区。结果表明,配对区对G有偏好(33.5%),非配对区对A有偏好(38.5%);与配对区相比,非配对区存在更多的变异和系统发育信息。从序列的Jukes-Cantor遗传距离结果看,石鲈科胡椒鲷属Plectorhynchus、矶鲈属Parapristipoma、石鲈属Hapalogenys、髭鲷属Pomadasys、Haemulon属5个属属间的差异水平都接近或超过了其与外类群科间的差异水平。从构建的ME系统发育树结果看,石鲈科鱼类分成二大分支,未能形成单一类群。在亲缘关系上,胡椒鲷属和矶鲈属较近,石鲈属和Haemulon属较近,髭鲷属与其它4个属较远,髭鲷属在鲈亚目中的分类地位可能应提高到科的水平。初步确定研究中选用的16S rRNA基因片段基本适用于石鲈科属间和属内种间关系的研究。     

A Review of Some Environmental Issues Affecting Marine Mining

This article reviews information recently available from existing marine and coastal mining for responses to environmental issues affecting marine mining at different depths. It is particularly but not exclusively concerned with those issues affecting seabed biodiversity impact and recovery. Much information has been gathered in the past 10 years from shallow mining operations for construction aggregate, diamonds, and gold, from coastal mines discharging tailings to shallow and deep water, and from experimental deep mining tests. The responses to issues identified are summarized in a series of eight tables intended to facilitate site-specific consideration. Since impacts can spread widely in the surface mixing layer SML, and can affect the biologically productive euphotic zone, the main issues considered arise from the depth of mining relative to the SML of the sea. Where mining is below the SML, the issue is whether it is environmentally better to bring the extraction products to the surface vessel for processing (and waste discharge), or to process the extraction products as much as possible on the seabed. Responses to the issues need to be sitespecific, and dependent on adequate preoperational environmental impact and recovery prediction. For deep tailings disposal from a surface vessel, there are four important environmental unknowns: (1) the possible growth of "marine snow" (bacterial flocs) utilizing the enormous quantities of fine tailings particles (hundreds or thousands of metric tons per day) as nuclei for growth, (2) the possibility that local keystone plankton and nekton species may migrate diurnally down to and beyond the depth of deep discharge and hence be subjected to tailings impact at depth, (3) the burrow-up capability of deep benthos and their ability to survive high rates of tailings deposition, and (4) the pattern and rate of dispersion of a tailings density current through the deep water column from discharge point to seabed. Actions to obtain relevant information in general and site-specifically are suggested.     

Increased Particle Fluxes at the INDEX Site Attributable to Simulated Benthic Disturbance

Particle fluxes were measured 7 m above the sea bottom during the predisturbance, disturbance, and postdisturbance periods by using time series sediment traps attached to seven deep-sea moorings deployed in the INDEX experiment site in the Central Indian Basin. The predisturbance particle fluxes varied between 22.3 to 55.1 mg m -2 day -1 . Increased and variable particle fluxes were recorded by the sediment traps during the disturbance period. The increase observed was 0.5 to 4 times more than the background predisturbance fluxes. The increases in particle fluxes (~4 times) recorded by the sediment trap located in the southwestern direction (DMS-1) were the greatest, which could be the result of preferential movement of resuspended particles generated during the deep-sea benthic disturbance along the general current direction prevailing in this area during the experimental period. Also, the traps located closer to the disturbance area recorded greater fluxes than did the traps far away, across the Deep Sea Sediment Resuspension System path. This variability in recorded particle fluxes by the traps around the disturbance area clearly indicates that physical characteristics such as grain size and density of the resuspended particles produced during the disturbance had an important effect on particle movement. The postdisturbance measurements during ~5 days showed a reduction in particle fluxes of ~50%, indicating rapid particle settlement.     

Assessing the Validity of Seismo-Acoustic Predictor Equations for Obtaining Seabed and Sub-Surface Sediment Physical Properties

The interdependence between the seismo-acoustic properties of a marine sediment and its geotechnical/physical parameters has been known for many years, and it has been postulated that this should allow the extraction of geotechnical information from seismic data. Though in the literature many correlations have been published for the surficial layer, there is a lack of information for greater sediment depths. In this article, a desktop study on a synthetic seafloor model illustrates how the application of published near-surface prediction equations to subsurface sediments (up to several tens of meters burial depth) can lead to spurious predictions. To test this further, acoustic and geotechnical properties were measured on a number of sediment core samples, some of which were subjected to loading in acoustically-equipped consolidation cells (oedometers) to simulate greater burial depth conditions. For low effective pressures (representing small burial depths extending to around 10 meters subsurface), the general applicability of established relationships was confirmed: the prediction of porosity, bulk density, and mean grain size from acoustic velocity and impedance appears generally possible for the investigated sedimentary environments. As effective pressure increases through, the observed relationships deviate more and more from the established ones for the near-surface area. For the samples tested in this study, in some instances increasing pressure even resulted in decreasing velocities. There are several possible explanations for this abnormal behavior, including the presence of gas, overconsolidation, or bimodal grain size distribution. The results indicate that an appropriate depth correction must be introduced into the published prediction equations in order to obtain reliable estimates of physical sediment properties for greater subsurface depths.     

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中桩周土强度弱化研究

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中,桩周土体受到强烈扰动而发生强度弱化,掌握桩周土体强度弱化规律对于准确预测打桩过程、保证工程安全具有重要意义。为研究土体强度弱化规律,开展了环剪试验模拟打桩对桩周土体的扰动,测试土体强度随剪切速率的变化规律,建立了描述土体强度弱化规律的拟合公式,引入到打桩分析软件中。研究结果表明：土体的强度折减程度不仅与土体本身的性质有关还受到土体的埋深和剪切速率的影响,埋深越深土体强度折减程度越低,剪切速率越高土体强度折减越高,在打桩分析中可采用这里推荐的线性折减方法来模拟不同深度处土体强度的折减规律。     

Determination of In Situ Sediment Shear Strength from Advanced Piston Corer Pullout Forces

The advanced piston corer (APC) has been used by the Ocean Drilling Program since 1985 for recovering soft sediments from the ocean floor. The pullout force measured on extracting the core barrel from the sediment is shown to correlate with the average shear strength of the sediment core measured in the ship's laboratory. A simple rule of thumb is derived relating the shear strength of the sediment to the pullout force. Multiple APC holes at individual sites allow the consistency of the pullout measurements to be assessed. The effects of different operational procedures during APC coring are also explored. Although generally applicable, the correlation between pullout force and laboratory measurements of shear strength breaks down for some APC holes, possibly because of the disturbance of some sediment types during the APC coring process. A better understanding of the physical process of APC coring, and its effect on the properties of the sediment both inside and immediately outside the core barrel, would indicate what confidence can be put on the measurement of pullout force as a way of evaluating the in situ shear strength of deep sea sediments.     

Interannual Sea Level Variations and Annual Tides in the Northwestern Pacific

Specific properties of the interannual sea level variations and annual tides in the Northwestern Pacific were studied. Several tide stations were monitored. The monthly mean sea level for the year of 1995 was analyzed at each tide station. A seismic event in 1995, some tectonic activity around the subject area, and the Kuroshio (the oceanic western boundary current) may possibly contaminate results which would have occurred from the astronomical annual tide alone.
