2005～2006年珠江口浮游动物群落变化研究

根据2005年4月至2006年9月珠江口4个航次19个站位的调查资料，分析了春、夏季和秋季初浮游动物的种类组成、优势种和个体数量等的时空变化，并分析了研究期间浮游动物群落的演替情况．经鉴定共发现终生浮游动物226种和阶段性浮游幼体5个类群．优势种中，除了刺尾纺锤水蚤（Acartia spinicauda）、强额拟哲水蚤（Paracalanus crassirostris）和中华异水蚤（Acartiella sinensis）等过去常见的优势种外还出现枝角类和被囊类的种类，夜光虫（Noctiluca scintillans）则是春季的第一优势种．调查海区的浮游动物可划分为河口类群、近岸类群、大洋类群和广温广盐类群．2006年浮游动物的平均个体数量高于2005年，春季的平均个体数量高于同年夏季或秋季初，空间分布则无明显规律．根据相关分析，盐度和水温是影响该海区浮游动物群落结构的重要因素．根据演替速率E值的计算结果，珠江口浮游动物群落存在明显的季节演替，但2005年至2006年间的同一季节则未出现显著的群落演替。     

春末海南万宁海域浮游动物群落结构研究

根据 2012 年春末在海南万宁海域所采集的浮游动物样品, 对该海域浮游动物的种类组成、饵料生物量、丰度和生物多样性进行了探讨, 采用大型多元统计软件 PRIMER5.0 对浮游动物的群落结构进行了分析。结果表明调查海域共有浮游动物 70 种、浮游幼虫 10 个类群, 其中优势种共有 6 种: 双尾溞 纽鳃樽、多毛类幼虫、短角长腹剑水蚤、鸟喙尖头 、尖额真猛水蚤和小拟哲水蚤。浮游动物生物量和丰度的平面分布相似, 主要分布在调查海域的北部和中部近岸处。 浮游动物具有较高的均匀度(0.70), 生物多样性指数较高(3.10)。群落结构聚类分析显示浮游动物可以分为 5 个生态类群。     

渤海湾浮游动物群落变化及其与环境因子的关系

浮游动物作为海洋生物的重要类群,对气候变化及人类活动都具有较高的敏感性。本文基于2004—2015年渤海湾夏季浮游动物监测资料,分析了浮游动物的群落结构及物种变动特征,并探讨了群落变动与环境因子的关系。结果表明,2004—2015年,渤海湾夏季浮游动物群落的种类数和生物多样性总体呈上升趋势。渤海湾浮游动物分属于7个门类,其中节肢动物门和腔肠动物门种类数最多,近年来物种数增长最快。12 a间,渤海湾浮游动物群落组成发生了显著变化,中华哲水蚤Calanus sinicus、真刺唇角水蚤Labidocera euchaeta等大中型桡足类数量逐渐下降,太平洋纺锤水蚤Acartia pacifica、背针胸刺水蚤Centropages dorsispinatus等小型桡足类及异体住囊虫Oikopleura dioica、锡兰和平水母Eirene ceylonensis等胶质类浮游动物数量逐渐增加。渤海湾浮游动物的群落变化主要与温度、盐度、营养盐等环境因子密切相关。     

秋季黄海WP2型网采浮游动物的群落特征

中国传统的海洋浮游动物调查方法存在对中小型浮游动物数量低估的情况。为了较全面地掌握黄海浮游动物群落特征、弥补黄海浮游动物研究的有关不足,作者采用国际通用的WP2型浮游生物网,于2012年11月对黄海海域(121°00′E~124°30′E,32°00′N~39°44′N)的中型浮游动物的种类组成、丰度和优势种进行调查,并结合环境因子对浮游动物的群落结构进行分析。本航次共鉴定浮游动物成体119种,浮游幼虫25类。该海区浮游动物平均丰度(不含夜光虫)为4 331.0ind/m3。优势种以小拟哲水蚤和拟长腹剑水蚤小型桡足类为主。根据各站位间浮游动物组成的相似程度和地理分布,将黄海区域的浮游动物分为北黄海群落、黄海中部群落、苏北沿岸群落和东海近岸混合水群落。与以往大型浮游生物网采资料相比,本次调查的浮游动物丰度要高出一个数量级,体型较小的浮游动物的优势地位显著提升,但群落划分结果没有明显差别。     

海南岛近岸海域夏、秋季浮游动物分布特征研究

2018-08和2018-11获取和分析了海南岛近岸海域夏(11个站位)、秋(9个站位)两个季节的样品数据,并在海南近岸海域展开了大面站浮游动物分布特征调查研究,以期深入了解不同季节浮游动物种群分布和群落结构变化机制及规律。结果表明:近岸海域共鉴定浮游动物45科51属69种及浮游幼体31类,共分为河口类群、暖水沿岸类群和暖水广布类群三个生态类群,以桡足类为优势类群。优势种以简长腹剑水蚤(Oithona simplex)、亚强次真哲水蚤(Subeucalanus subcrassus)、红纺锤水蚤(Acartia erythraea)、异体住囊虫(Oikopleura dioica)、肥胖箭虫(Sagitta enflata)和鸟喙尖头溞(Penilia avirostris)等组成。同时,夏秋季浮游动物受季节和地形的影响,个体密度、湿重生物量、物种丰富度和多样性指数具有明显的差异性,呈现为秋季夏季,秋季浮游动物平均个体密度和生物量分别为223. 04 ind·m-3和675. 37 mg·m-3,各站位多样性指数绝大部分均在3. 00以上,且生态类群和优势种数量分布均呈较高水平,均匀度指数则与之相反。总体而言,浮游动物群落结构特征能影响海洋食物网物质循环和能量流动的效率,从而影响海洋生态系统多样性和稳定性。因此,研究不同季节浮游动物分布特征,对海南近岸资源开发利用和海洋生态管理等方面均具有重要意义。     

珠江口夏季中、小型浮游动物生态特征研究

根据2009年8月珠江口18个站位的调查资料,分析了珠江口中、小型浮游动物的种类组成、优势种、群落结构、种类多样性和个体数量分布状况,并探讨了主要环境因素的影响。经鉴定共发现终生浮游动物120种和阶段性浮游幼体5个类群。调查期间浮游动物平均个体数量为4 131.92个/m3。优势种为中华异水蚤(Acartiella sinensis)、肥胖三角溞(Evadna tergestina)和鸟喙尖头溞(Penilia avirosstris)。珠江口海域浮游动物种类、数量和优势种表现出明显的空间异质性。浮游动物的种类数、个体数量和群落结构主要受到珠江冲淡水和浮游动物本身的生态习性的影响。聚类分析和相关分析结果显示,夏季珠江口浮游动物群落可划分为河口群落和近岸群落两大类,而盐度在其中起着关键作用。     

2008年初冷事件对南海北部夏季浮游动物的影响

2008年初,我国南方出现了罕见的低温冰冻极端天气过程。通过对2007年8月和2008年8月南海北部现场调查所获得的数据分析研究了浮游动物种类组成。结果表明,与2007年8月相比2008年8月浮游动物丰度和生物量有很大的下降。聚类分析结果表明浮游动物群落被分为近岸和远海两大类群。浮游动物近岸类群和远岸类群的分界点在不同的时间有所不同,这是由于外海水向近岸的入侵所致。与2007年8月相比,2008年8月浮游动物优势种发生了很大的演替,主要是因为四种浮游动物优势种亚强真哲水蚤、异尾宽水蚤、锥形宽水蚤和小哲水蚤丰度急剧下降所致。相反,水母类和海樽类丰富有很大的升高,其原因可能是2008年春季极端低温导致的鱼类大量死亡所致。与远岸浮游动物群落相比,近岸浮游动物群落变化更剧烈,这说明近岸浮游动物群落结构不稳定。南海北部浮游动物群落结构的变化与2008年初的冷事件有很大关系。     

崇明东滩潮沟浮游动物数量分布与变动

根据2008年4-12月对上海市崇明岛东滩潮沟进行4个季节的浮游动物调查资料,研究了崇明东滩潮沟浮游动物的数量分布及变动。结果表明,调查区浮游动物总丰度较高,四季变化明显。受潮汐作用的影响,夏、秋、冬三季落潮时丰度大于涨潮时,春季涨潮时丰度则大于落潮时。浮游动物在6条潮沟的平面分布不均匀,春季东旺沙边滩区和北八边滩区的数量明显多于近团结沙边滩区,夏、秋季分别以东旺沙边滩区和北八滧边滩区的数量最多,冬季则以近团结沙边滩区的数量最多。主要优势种细巧华哲水蚤(Sinocalanus tenellus)、中华华哲水蚤(Sinocalanus sinensis)、火腿许水蚤(Schmackeria poplesia)、四刺窄腹剑水蚤(Limnoithona etraspina)和四刺破足猛水蚤(Mesochra quadrispinosa)等数量的季节、潮汐变化及各时期的空间分布格局差异明显,其数量分布情况决定了浮游动物总数量的分布。盐度是影响冬、春季涨潮时浮游动物总丰度分布的主要因子,水温则是影响夏、秋季涨潮时总丰度分布的主要因子。此外,径流及潮流等动力因素对潮沟浮游动物数量的时空分布也产生重要影响。     

胶州湾浮游动物生态学研究Ⅰ.种类组成

根据2004年1—12月用浅水Ⅰ型和浅水Ⅱ型浮游生物网在胶州湾进行的每月一次垂直拖网采集的浮游动物样品,分析了胶州湾浮游动物的种类组成。调查结果表明,在胶州湾出现的浮游动物共81个种,春、夏季的种类数多于秋、冬季,湾北部的种类数少且年内波动大,湾南部、湾口和湾外种类数多且年内波动小。胶州湾浮游动物优势种为双刺纺锤水蚤(Acartia bifilosa)、小拟哲水蚤(Paracalanus parvus)、太平洋纺锤水蚤(Acartia pacifica)、中华哲水蚤(Calanus sinicus)、拟长腹剑水蚤(Oithona similis)、短角长腹剑水蚤(O.brevicornis)、近缘大眼剑水蚤(Corycaeus affinis)、异体住囊虫(Oikopleura dioica)、强壮箭虫(Sagitta crassa)、八斑芮氏水母(Rathkea octopunctata)和小介穗水母(Podocoryne minima)等。从个体大小上来看,体长<1mm的浮游动物丰度最大。与历史资料的比较显示,2004年胶州湾水母类比90年代同期增加15种,八斑芮氏水母成为冬季优势种。海区比较显示,胶州湾浮游动物的种类组成与渤海相似,与黄海有所不同。     

Spatial and long-term temporal variation of meiobenthic-hyperbenthic copepods in Lake Pontchartrain,Louisiana

The distribution and abundance of the meiobenthic-hyperbenthic copepods of Lake Pontchartrain (a large, 1630 km², shallow, mean depth of 3·7m, brackish, 0·3–5‰, lake in Southeastern Louisiana) were characterized monthly from August 1978 to August 1979. Ten stations, all with water depth > 2m, were established and sampled quantitatively by removing four benthic subsamples (containing as much as 25 cm overlying water) from replicated box cores. Averaged across stations over time, total copepod densities ranged from 31–89 × 10 cm^?2. A total of only 15 copepod species were identified from benthic samples; 8 harpacticoids, 4 cyclopoids and 3 calanoids. The copepod assemblage in Pontchartrain differs from all other known benthic assemblages in that the species composition is dominated by species which are often associated with the water column; true infaunal species are rare or found in reduced abundance. Four species comprised 90% of all individuals collected. All four are epibenthic or commonly collected as zooplankton and include Scottolana canadensis which comprised 47% of all individuals collected, Halicyclops fosteri which dominated fall collections, Acartia tonsa and Pseudobradya sp. Burrowing species were largely restricted to the more saline eastern stations. The rarity of burrowing species might be related to low salinity, however the highly unstable bottom in Pontchartrain with silty-clayey sediments commonly resuspended into the water column, may also influence burrowers. Cluster analysis reveals diffuse seasonal grouping of stations for all seasons except fall, with spatial groupings from the central and western sides. Physical processes appear to dictate the community structure of benthic-hyperbenthic copepods in Lake Pontchartrain.     

Effects of the copepod community structure on fecal pellet flux in Kagoshima bay,a deep,semi-enclosed embayment

Seasonal changes in the shape and size composition of fecal pellets were investigated with sediment trap samples from 50 and 150 m in Kagoshima Bay to evaluate how the mesozooplankton community affects fecal pellet flux. Deep vertical mixing was evident in March, and thermal stratification was developed above 50 m in June, August and November. Chlorophyll a, suspended particulate organic carbon (POC) and copepod abundance were uniform throughout the water column during the seasonal mixing and concentrated above 50 m in the stratified seasons. Calanoids were the most predominant copepods in March and poecilostomatoids composed more than 45% of the copepod community in June, August and November. Fecal pellet fluxes at 50 and 150 m were the highest in March, nearly half of POC flux. The relative contribution declined considerably in the other months, especially for less than 4% of POC flux in August. The decline was corresponded to the predominance of cyclopoids and poecilostomatoids. Cylindrical pellets dominated the fecal matters at both depths throughout the study period, while larger cylindrical pellets nearly disappeared at 150 m in June, August and November. Copepod incubation revealed that cylindrical and oval pellets were egested by calanoids and the other copepods, respectively. We suggest that cylindrical fecal pellets produced by calanoid copepods contribute to feces flux but the predominance of poecilostomatoids and/or cyclopoids decreases feces flux via the increase of oval pellets and fragmentation of larger cylindrical pellets.     

台湾以北海域浮游桡足类生物海洋学特征的研究Ⅰ.数量分布

根据１９８７～１９９０年间在台湾以北海域进行的６个航次的调查资料,对该海域浮游桡足类数量分布作了探讨,结果表明,本区浮游桡足类丰度在春季最高,冬季最低,夏、秋季介于中间;黑潮锋内侧的桡足类丰度一般高于黑潮锋外侧,较高丰度区的分布具夏季最向外海、冬季最靠近岸、其他两季居中的趋势,这与黑潮锋位的季节摆动趋势基本相一致;浮游桡足类丰度的较高值区一般出现在不同水系的交汇区,尤其是黑潮次表层水涌升域的近岸边缘侧,而在黑潮次表层水的主水体中,因溶解氧含量低等因素,其丰度一般均较低;浮游桡足类丰度垂直分布趋势为随水深增加而减低,生物本身昼夜垂直移动规律可能是局部区域产生异常分布的原因之一．     

Resource Partitioning Among Planktivorous Fish Larvae and Fry in a Mediterranean Coastal Lagoon

Resource partioning among the planktivorous stages of eight fish species occurring in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon was studied. Five species were migratory mullets that spawned in the sea (Liza ramada, L. aurata, L. saliens, Chelon labrosusandMugil cephalus), while the other three species were resident and spawned in the lagoon (Atherina boyeri, Cyprinus carpioandGambusia holbrooki).Mullet fry exhibited similar diets, based on the consumption of zooplanktonic Crustacea such as copepods and cladocerans, although adult chironomids were also important.Gambusia holbrookiandA. boyerifed on small prey such as copepod nauplii, copepodites and rotifers, whileC. carpioconsumed larger prey preferentially (cladocerans and copepods).According to the trophic overlap and niche width results, seven species pairs could be competing in the estuary, although further experimental evidence is still required.     

长湖浮游动物群落结构及其与环境因子的关系

为研究长湖浮游动物群落结构及其与环境因子间的关系,于2012年4月至2013年1月进行了4次调查采样。共鉴定出浮游动物67种(不包括原生动物),以轮虫种类为主(42种),其丰度与生物量均占据较大优势。浮游动物丰度的季节性差异显著,夏季最高(4412ind./L),冬季最低(831ind./L)。季节间的物种更替率大于59%,但优势种种类的季节变化不明显。优势种共8种,均为轮虫,萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachiouns calyciflorus)、针簇多枝轮虫(Polyarthra trigla Ehrenberg)是四个季节均出现的优势种,P.trigla Ehrenberg的优势度与出现频率均是各个季节的最大值,各季节这两种优势种的丰度和在总丰度的占比均超过59.13%。依据Shannon指数、Pielou指数、Margalef指数评价长湖水体处于中度污染,肥度指数评价长湖处于富营养状态。相关性分析、多元逐步回归方程、冗余分析的结果显示:水温是影响长湖浮游动物群落结构季节变化的关键因子;浮游植物表征含量chl a也是影响长湖浮游动物群落结构的关键因子,总氮、总磷通过影响浮游植物的群落结构间接地影响浮游动物的组成;能耐受较高p H的B.calyciflorus在长湖碱性水体中有较好的适应性;夏季马洪台区较低的溶解氧一定程度上限制了该区域轮虫的生长,总悬浮物通过降低溶解氧对浮游动物产生间接作用;化学需氧量对P.trigla Ehrenberg、螺形龟甲轮虫(Keratella cochlearis)等耐污种的影响较大,并对浮游动物的丰度产生正向作用。     

Copepod community structure during upwelling and non-upwelling seasons in coastal waters off Cochin, southwest coast of India

Vypeen, an island of Cochin estuarine system, acts as the spawning site of several marine and estuarine fishes. We assumed that, physical process(upwelling) make changes in hydrography and the production of chlorophyll a in coastal waters off Vypeen. These alterations can influence the zooplankton abundance and copepod community structure in that area. For justifying this hypothesis, samples were collected from Vypeen at 10 m and 30 m locations during January(pre-southwest monsoon), August(late-southwest monsoon) and November(postsouthwest monsoon) 2014. During August, subsurface water column was cool, nutrient rich and less oxygenated(signatures of upwelling) than in November and January. Maximum concentrations of nitrate and chlorophyll a were recorded during August. In the present study, 15 zooplankton groups were recorded; of which copepods were the most predominant group(73%–90%). Copepod density in the present study ranged between 527.2 ind./m~3 and 5 139.2 ind./m~3. Totally, 37 copepods species were reported in present study and copepod species richness was higher during January. The abundance of zooplankton and copepods was high in August during late-southwest monsoon. These variations were closely associated with the coastal upwelling in August and weakening of moderate upwelling in November. In SIMPER analysis, it was found that the copepods species distribution was similar within season and dissimilar between the three seasons. Moreover, the higher abundance of upwelling indicator species Temora turbinata was recorded in August, which confirms the signs of seasonal upwelling in Vypeen. The present study emphasized on the influence of hydrographical parameters associated with physical process, in governing the copepod community organization of the Vypeen Island.     

Vertical zonation and distributions of calanoid copepods through the lower oxycline of the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone

This paper provides the first comprehensive analysis of calanoid copepod vertical zonation and community structure at midwater depths (300–1000 m) through the lower oxygen gradient (oxycline) (0.02 to 0.3 ml/L) of an oxygen minimum zone (OMZ). Feeding ecology was also analyzed. Zooplankton were collected with a double 1 m² MOCNESS plankton net in day and night vertically-stratified oblique tows from 1000 m to the surface at six stations during four seasons as part of the 1995 US Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) Arabian Sea project. The geographic comparison between a eutrophic more oxygenated onshore station and an offshore station with a strong OMZ served as a natural experiment to elucidate the influence of depth, oxygen concentration, season, food resources, and predators on the copepod distributions.Copepod species and species assemblages of the Arabian Sea OMZ differed in their spatial and vertical distributions relative to environmental and ecological characteristics of the water column and region. The extent and intensity of the oxycline at the lower boundary of the OMZ, and its spatial and temporal variability over the year of sampling, was an important factor affecting distributional patterns. Calanoid copepod species showed vertical zonation through the lower OMZ oxycline. Clustering analyses defined sample groups with similar copepod assemblages and species groups with similar distributions. No apparent diel vertical migration for either calanoid or non-calanoid copepods at these midwater depths was observed, but some species had age-related differences in vertical distributions. Subzones of the OMZ, termed the OMZ Core, the Lower Oxycline, and the Sub-Oxycline, had different copepod communities and ecological interactions. Major distributional and ecological changes were associated with surprisingly small oxygen gradients at low oxygen concentrations. The calanoid copepod community was most diverse in the most oxygenated environments (oxygen >0.14 ml/L), but the rank order of abundance of species was similar in the Lower Oxycline and Sub-Oxycline. Some species were absent or much scarcer in the OMZ Core. Two copepod species common in the Lower Oxycline were primarily detritivorous but showed dietary differences suggesting feeding specialization. The copepod Spinocalanus antarcticus fed primarily on components of the vertical particulate flux and suspended material, a less versatile diet than the co-occurring copepod Lucicutia grandis. Vertical zonation of copepod species through the lower OMZ oxycline is probably a complex interplay between physiological limitation by low oxygen, potential predator control, and potential food resources. Pelagic OMZ and oxycline communities, and their ecological interactions in the water column and with the benthos, may become even more widespread and significant in the future ocean, if global warming increases the extent and intensity of OMZs as predicted.     

Occurrence of copepod carcasses in the lower Chesapeake Bay and their decomposition by ambient microbes

We tested and refined the Neutral Red staining method for separating live and dead copepods in natural samples. Live copepods were stained red whereas dead copepods remained unstained. The staining results were not affected by method of killing, time of death or staining time. Tow duration had no significant effect on the percent dead copepods collected. The Neutral Red staining method was applied to study the occurrence of dead copepods along the York River and the Hampton River in the lower Chesapeake Bay during June–July, 2005. The zooplankton community was dominated by copepods; on average 29% of the copepod population appeared dead. Recovery of percent dead copepods did not differ between horizontal tows and vertical tows, suggesting that dead copepods were homogenously distributed in the water column. No significant relationship was found between the percent dead copepods and surface water temperature, salinity, Secchi depth or chlorophyll concentration. In laboratory experiments, dead copepods were decomposed by ambient bacteria and the rate of decomposition was temperature-dependent. Combining field and laboratory results we estimated that the non-consumptive mortality (mortality not due to predation) of copepods in the lower Chesapeake Bay was 0.12 d⁻¹ under steady-state condition, which is within the global average of copepod mortality rate.     

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.     

Seasonal variation of the neustonic zooplankton community in southern waters of Korea

We investigated the seasonal variation of the neustonic zooplankton community in the surface layer (above 30 cm in depth) of 16 stations in southern waters of Korea from April 2002 to April 2003. In the neustonic community, copepods accounted for 59% of total organisms, as the most predominant group, while other dominant groups were invertebrate larvae, cladocerans, tunicates and fish eggs. Pontellid copepods, a major group of neustonic zooplankton, showed a marked seasonal variation and displayed a significant positive correlation with temperature (P < 0.05). Fish eggs appeared from spring to early summer in the inshore waters while tunicates and oceanic copepods (Eucalanus spp. and Euchaeta spp.) were dominant in the offshore waters during high temperature periods. This suggests that the distribution pattern of the neustonic zooplankton is seasonally affected by the hydrological conditions of in- and offshore waters. The abundance of zooplankton was higher in the surface layer (< 15 cm) than in the subsurface layer (15–30 cm), and was also higher at night than during the daytime. Of the dominant copepod families, the density of acartiid and pontellid copepods was higher in the surface layer than the subsurface layer. The density of acartiid and corycaeid copepods was significantly higher during daytime than nighttime. This indicates that the surface layer in temperate regions may provide a favorable habitat for neustonic copepods despite the dynamic environmental fluctuations.
