Bioaccumulation of trace metals in the Antarctic amphipod Orchomene plebs: evaluation of toxicokinetic models

Bioaccumulation of Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in Antarctic gammaridean amphipod collectives, Orchomene plebs (Hurley, 1965), was investigated during a cruise of RV "Polarstern" to the Wedell Sea. With the sole exception of Cd the organisms accumulated metals during exposure and depurated them in uncontaminated seawater. Four independent toxicokinetic experiments and one field study were modelled simultaneously to calculate the following size-dependent bioconcentration factors for organisms with body length 10 mm (BCF(10 mm)): 130 (Co), 4030 (Cu), 190 (Ni), 2900 (Pb), and 5210 (Zn). On the time scale of our experiments the data suggest an increased metal uptake by previously exposed test organisms. The collectives investigated may be regarded as potentially suitable biomonitors for Co, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn but not for Cd. An approach to evaluate the sensitivity of Orchomene plebs as a biomonitor of waterborne metals in the field indicates minimal increments of the ambient exposure concentrations of 0.01 microg Co l(-1), 0.2 microg Cu l(-1), 0.4 microg Ni l(-1), 0.6 microg Pb l(-1) and 0.3 microg Zn l(-1).     

Induction of vitellogenin in vivo and in vitro in the model teleost medaka (Oryzias latipes): comparison of gene expression and protein levels

Quantification of the egg yolk precursor vitellogenin (VTG) in fish has become a standard technique to detect estrogenic effects of known chemicals and environmental samples. In the present study, we have analysed VTG induction by estradiol, ethynylestradiol and genistein exposure in the model teleost medaka (Oryzias latipes) and demonstrate that the medaka is a suitable model system to analyse estrogenic effects. By comparing VTG gene expression and protein levels we show that in principal both techniques can be used to study VTG induction in vivo (juvenile and adult males) and in vitro (primary cultures of male liver cells). If a short term in vivo or in vitro exposure is performed, detection of mRNA might be sufficient. For long term studies with the need to detect weak estrogenic chemicals and a precise quantification, immuno-chemical detection may be favoured.     

南沙海域万安盆地油气分布特征

作者通过收集南沙西南海域近几十年来的油气田（井）勘探资料和多年来我局的工作成果，在研究区域地质、沉积特征、油气地质条件与烃源岩演化的基础上，来分析油气资源在整个盆地横向上和纵向上的分布特征，并总结其规律性。     

牙鲆人工育苗的初步试验(一)

牙鲆Paralichthys olivaceus(T.＆S.)广泛分布于我国沿海,尤以黄、渤海产量较多。因其具有体形大,肉质好,洄游性小,回归性强等特点,所以是近海良好的增养殖对象之一。为了发展我国的增养殖事业,1979年我们开展了以培养牙鲆苗种为目的的初步试验。试验是在青岛水族馆和黄海水产研究所太平角试验场两处进行的。     

青岛—石臼所沿岸潮流特征分析

本文对青岛—石臼所沿岸潮流特征进行了分析。实际观测资料表明,这一带潮流具有典型的往复流性质,并有较明显的不对称性和较大的垂直变化。文中指出涨落潮流不对称性是由于余流和分潮流影响的结果。讨论了不对称性随余流和分潮流的变化和潮流垂直梯度的特征。不对称和垂直梯度对泥沙运动和污染扩散的影响在文中也作了阐述。     

粉红色红拟抱球虫在冲绳海槽区的发现及地层意义

近年来,我们在冲绳海槽区进行大量工作.本文就Z14-6孔(27°07′N127°27′E)首次发现粉红色红拟抱球虫,及稳定同位素测定,进行对比研究,证明了Thompson等1979年所提出的粉红色拟抱球虫在印度-太平洋海域灭绝时代在距今120000年左右的观点.     

潮流旋转中的倒转现象的探讨

潮流的变化性较潮位要复杂得多。尽管人们多年来一直对它进行观测和研究，但潮流中的许多现象至今仍未得到正确的解释。潮流旋转中的“倒转现象”就是其中之一。所谓倒转现象，就是潮流的旋转方向在一段时间里逆着原来的旋转方向(顺时针或逆时针方向)而旋转，然后再恢复到原来的旋转方向。这种现象在海洋里是经常发生的。     

日平均海面与潮差的关系及其初步动力学解释

文中对若干个站位上的日平均海面和平均潮差进行了谱分析,发现它们的半月变化成分具有明显的线性关系,在指出可能异致这种线性关系的几种原因的同时,用辐射应力的概念并引进摩擦对其作了初步的动力学分析,表明起因于非线性效应的辐射应力亦是导致日平均潮差半月变化的可能原因之一。
