长江口及其邻近海域大型底栖动物生物量、丰度和次级生产力的初步研究

为了解长江口及邻近海域大型底栖动物生物量、丰度和次级生产力的分布情况于2004年2月、5月、8月和11月共4个航次分别在长江口40个观测站采集大型底栖动物定量样品并利用Brey的经验公式对大型底栖动物栖息丰度、生物量、次级生产力和P/B值进行了研究计算.该调查海域共采到大型底栖动物202种,其中多毛类102种,软体动物51种,甲壳类27种,棘皮动物7种,其它动物15种.大型底栖动物年平均丰度为394.7 ind/m2;年平均生物量以去灰分干重计,为2.58 g(AFDW)/m2;年平均次级生产力以去灰分干重计,为3.52 g(AFDW)/(m2*a);P/B值平均为1.53.结果表明,长江口大型底栖动物次级生产力自长江入海口向东呈递增趋势.本文分析了长江口及其邻近海域大型底栖动物优势种的组成,主要生态类群的分布特征和次级生产力分布格局与生态环境的关系.通过比较,发现长江口大型底栖动物优势种发生了较大的变化;次级生产力高于东海而低于渤海和胶州湾;P/B值高于南黄海、胶州湾和渤海,也说明了长江口大型底栖动物群落中个体小、生活史短,代谢快的种类所占的比例高于以上海域.     

胶州湾大型底栖动物的丰度、生物量和生产量研究

为了研究胶州湾大型底栖动物的丰度、生物量和生产量,于2002年3月、6月、8月和12月,在胶州湾北部软底区、大沽河口、黄岛养殖区及养殖区邻域选取4个站位进行采样,对大型底栖动物进行了定量研究。共采到大型底栖动物138种,总平均丰度、平均生物量(湿质量)和年生产量(有机碳)分别为1 719个/m2,27 g/m2,2.2 g/(m2.a),初步估算,胶州湾大型底栖动物的总次级生产量为2.8万t/a。与渤海和南黄海大型底栖动物的丰度和生物量比较,丰度和生物量均低于这两个海域,但是胶州湾大型底栖动物的总次级生产量高于渤海。本研究对于了解胶州湾大型底栖动物现状及湾内养殖对大型底栖动物的影响具有重要的意义。     

胶州湾大型底栖动物群落的年次级生产力及其影响因素的研究

根据2018年胶州湾20个站位4个季节的大型底栖动物调查资料,利用Brey(2001)模型对大型底栖动物群落的次级生产力进行了估算,并对影响群落次级生产力的因子进行了研究。结果表明:胶州湾大型底栖动物年平均丰度为1 904.80 ind.·m~(-2),年平均生物量为87.018 8 g·m~(-2),群落年次级生产力为45.284 3 g·m~(-2)·a~(-1)。大型底栖动物群落次级生产力呈现出由胶州湾中部向南北两侧增大的趋势。养殖种菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes philippinarum)和长牡蛎(Crassostrea gigas)的次级生产力占胶州湾大型底栖动物次级生产力的89.12%。沉积物中叶绿素a含量和底盐是影响群落次级生产力的重要环境因子。     

乳山湾内外大型底栖动物群落次级生产力初步研究

为了解乳山湾大型底栖动物的次级生产力,合理利用乳山湾生物资源,于2011年5和10月分别对乳山湾内外21个站进行了大型底栖动物的调查取样,用2种Brey模型估算了该海域大型底栖动物的年平均次级生产力、P/B值和各类群次级生产力所占百分比,并分析了该海域大型底栖动物生产力的空间分布。结果显示:该海域共发现大型底栖动物161种,大型底栖动物的年平均丰度为2 607.14ind/m~2,年平均生物量为266.37g AFDW·m~(-2);运用Brey(1990)经验模型估算的该海域大型底栖动物年次级生产力平均值为26.43g AFDW·m~(-2)·a~(-1),P/B值为1.81;运用Brey(1990)改进模型估算的大型底栖动物年次级生产力平均值为11.06g AFDW·m~(-2)·a~(-1),其中湾内东流区最高为42.34g AFDW·m~(-2)·a~(-1);湾内西流区较低,为3.17g AFDW·m~(-2)·a~(-1),湾外区域最低,为1.33g AFDW·m~(-2)·a~(-1),该海域大型底栖动物年平均P/B值为1.55;通过对2个模型的对比,建议对大型底栖动物进行次级生产力估算时选用Brey(1990)改进模型;通过与其他海域次级生产力比较,发现乳山湾内外大型底栖动物次级生产力低于胶州湾西部海域,高于桑沟湾和深沪湾。     

辽东湾西部海域大型底栖动物群落次级生产力初探

为了解辽东湾西部海域大型底栖动物次级生产力的情况,于2009年5、8、10和12月分4个航次在辽东湾西部海域15个站位采集大型底栖动物样品,并用2种Brey的经验公式对大型底栖动物次级生产力进行了研究计算。该调查海域共发现大型底栖动物188种,其中多毛类81种,甲壳类70种,软体动物29种,棘皮动物4种,其他动物4种。研究海域大型底栖动物年平均丰度为1 943.28ind/m2,年平均生物量(去灰分干重,AFDW)为2.95g/m2。Brey模型估算研究海域年平均次级生产力(AFDW)为3.82g/(m2·a),P/B值为1.30;Brey模型估算研究海域年平均次级生产力(AFDW)为4.17g/(m2·a),P/B值为1.41。结果表明,辽东湾西部海域大型底栖动物年平均次级生产力呈由西部近岸区域向东部远岸区域逐级递增的趋势,通过与其他海域次级生产力比较,发现辽东湾西部次级生产力高于东海和长江口而低于渤海和厦门海域。     

渤海大型底栖动物次级生产力的初步研究

1998年 9月和 1999年 4月分别对渤海 2 0个站进行了大型底栖动物两个航次的调查取样。整个研究海域大型底栖动物年次级生产力平均值为 6 .4 9g(AFDW) /(m2 · a) ,其中渤海海峡以东海域较高 ,为 12 .5 9g(AFDW) /(m2· a) ;渤海中部为 4 .4 6 g(AFDW) /(m2· a) ,渤海大型底栖动物年平均 P/B为 0 .82     

深沪湾大型底栖动物群落及其次级生产力初步研究

2006年1、4月和2008年8月共3个季节在深沪湾潮下带10个取样站定量采集大型底栖动物．根据各个季节获得的大型底栖动物栖息丰度和生物量，采用Brey（1990）的经验公式进行了大型底栖动物次级生产力和P/B值的计算，得出深沪湾潮下带大型底栖动物年平均次级生产力和P／B值分别为0．599g（AFDW）／（m^2·a）和1．561．深沪湾大型底栖动物生物量和平均次级生产力的空间分布为湾顶〉湾中〉湾口．与2000年以来我国近海港湾和河口相关研究结果比较，深沪湾大型底栖动物群落的生态特点是栖息丰度、生物量和次级生产力低，但种类多样性指数较高．这些特征与深沪湾面积小、水动力强和沙质沉积物等环境因素有关．     

南黄海典型站位底栖动物粒径谱及其应用

建立了南黄海冷水团区域4个站位的正态化生物量粒径谱,运用连续模型计算出底栖动物群落的平均次级生产力为1.79g dwt.m-2.a-1,耗氧量为0.082 3mmol.m-2.h-1。结果表明,群落次级生产力和耗氧量之间具有相同的变化趋势,且都与正态化生物量粒径谱截距呈正相关,而与斜率无明显关系。小型底栖动物次级生产力和群落耗氧量与大型底栖动物相比没有显著差异。与固定P/B系数法计算的小型底栖动物次级生产力相比,利用正态化生物量粒径谱和连续模型计算的底栖动物群落次级生产力更为可靠。利用正态化生物量粒径谱和连续模型可以得到可信的底栖群落耗氧量结果。     

深圳湾北岸泥滩大型底栖动物次级生产力研究

根据2005年3、6、9月和12月在深圳湾北岸泥滩9个取样站采集的大型底栖动物4个季度的定量样品,运用Brey(1990)的经验公式进行了大型底栖动物栖息丰度、生物量、次级生产力和P/B值的研究计算.整个研究区域大型底栖动物年次级生产力平均值(去灰干重)为54.55g/(m2.a),其中观鸟屋附近泥滩(A断面)较高,为68.85g/(m2.a),凤塘河口附近泥滩(H断面)为50.62g/(m2.a)次之,沙嘴码头附近泥滩(F断面)较低,为44.18g/(m2.a),深圳湾北岸泥滩大型底栖动物年平均P/B为2.95.可见,大型底栖动物次级生产力越靠近深圳河河口越低,这与越靠近深圳河河口,大型底栖动物个体越小、生活史更短的结果是一致的.     

渤海大型底栖动物丰度和生物量的研究

于 1997年 6月、1998年 9月和 1999年 4月 3个航次对渤海的大型底栖动物进行了定量研究。在研究海区共采到大型底栖动物 30 6种 ,其中甲壳动物 97种 ,环节动物 95种 ,软体动物 88种 ,棘皮动物 11种 ,其它动物共 15种。其总平均丰度和生物量分别为 2 5 76 ind./m2和4 4 .4 7g/m2。渤海大部海区的总平均生物量在过去十年中可能未发生大的变化。渤海含砂量相对高的生境有较高的动物丰度 ,而在水位较深的水域 ,由于有较高的初级生产量到达底部 ,从而支持着较高的大型底栖动物的生物量。渤海海峡口可能是渤海大型底栖动物生物量的高值区     

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。     

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.     

Phylogenetic diversity and phenotypic characterization of cultivable bacterioplankton isolated from polar oceans

A set of 27 marine planktonic bacteria isolated from the polar regions was characterized by 16S rDNA sequencing and physiological and biochemical testing. More than half of these bacteria were positive for caseinase, gelatinase and 13-glucosidase, and could utilize glucose, maltose or malic acid as carbon source for cell growth. Twelve isolates expressed nitrate reduction activities. Except for one antarctic isolate BSwlO175 belonging to Actinobacteria phylum, these isolates were classified as γ-Proteobacteria, suggesting that γ-Proteobacteria dominated in cultivable marine bacterioplankton at both poles. Genus Pseudoalteromonas was the predominant group in the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea, and genus ShewaneUa dominated in cultivable bacterioplankton in the Prydz Bay. With sequence similarities above 97%, genus Psychrobacter was found at both poles. These 27 isolates were psychrotolerant, and significant 16S rDNA sequence similarities were found not only between arctic and antarctic marine bacteria （ 〉 99% ）, but also between polar marine bacteria and bacteria from other aquatic environments （ ≥ 98.8% ）, including temperate ocean, deep sea, pond and lake, suggesting that in the polar oceans less temperature-sensitive bacteria may be cosmopolitan and have a bipolar, even global, distribution at the species level.     

Flow Cytometric Analysis of Coastal Lagoon Bacterioplankton and Picophytoplankton: Fixation and Storage Effects

The effect of different fixation and storage protocols on the flow cytometric (FCM) simultaneous analysis of bacterioplankton and phytoplankton in coastal seawater samples (Mediterranean coastal lagoons) was investigated. FCM measurements (cell number, fluorescence and scatter characteristics) were obtained through DAPI staining. Three fixatives [glutaraldehyde (GA), formaldehyde (FA) and paraformaldehyde (PFA)] and two storage (3 months duration) methods (5 °C and −196 °C) were tested. Two dominant populations were detected in studied samples: bacteria and eukaryotic picophytoplankton. Adding fixatives (2% final concentration) appears necessary to obtain FCM exhaustive counts of all the bacteria and phytoplanktonic cells. This was related to the permeation effect of fixatives which allowed a better DAPI staining of the cells. Maximum fluorescence, i.e. optimal staining of the cells was obtained with FA or PFA, and significant lower fluorescences with GA. Fixed samples stored at 5 °C induced rapid cell loss. Only storage in liquid nitrogen of samples fixed with FA or PFA, allows mid-term (≥4 months) preservation of bacteria or picophytoplankton cell numbers, and limited evolution of DAPI-induced fluorescence and scatter characteristics.

Estimation of Sediment Properties during Benthic Impact Experiments

Sediment properties, such as water content and density, have been used to estimate the dry and wet weights, as well as the volume of sediment recovered and discharged, during benthic impact experiments conducted in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The estimates show that the weights of dry (355-1332 t) and wet sediment (1651-4888 t) recovered during the experiments, are not only a function of the total duration and distance covered during the experiment, but also depend on water content and density of the sediment. Estimation of dry sediment and its volumetric ratio in the discharge, are key parameters for calculating the discharged volume. The estimated volume of wet sediment recovered (1427-4049 m 3 ) as well as discharged (2693-6951 m 3 ) during the experiments, provide important inputs to evaluate the sediment resettlement and migration. Using these estimates, the average depth of excavation on the seafloor, can also been calculated. However, the stages of sediment recovery and discharge are expressed differently in some of the experiments. In order to standardize these, different stages have been identified, and definitions of certain terms have been suggested, for use in the future. The methods of calculating different properties, as well as weight and volume of discharged sediment are described in the paper for use in other applications concerning deep-sea discharges.
