Possible Density Change of the Origin of North Pacific Intermediate Water Due to Double Diffusion in the Mixed Water Region

In this study we test Talley's hypothesis that Oyashio winter mixed-layer water (26.5–26.6σ _θ) increases its density to produce the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) salinity minimum (26.7– 26.8σ_θ) in the Mixed Water Region, assuming a combination of cabbeling and double diffusion. The possible density change of Oyashio winter mixed-layer water is discussed using an instantaneous ratio of the change of temperature and salinity along any particular intrusion (R _l ). We estimate the range of R _l ^DD required to convert Oyashio winter mixed-layer water to the NPIW salinity minimum due to double diffusion, and then assume double-diffusive intrusions as this conversion mechanism. A double-diffusive intrusion model is used to estimate R _l ^DD in a situation where salt fingering dominates vertical mixing, as well as to determine whether Oyashio winter mixed-layer water can become the NPIW salinity minimum. Possible density changes are estimated from the model R _l ^DD by assuming the amount of density change due to cabbeling. From these results, we conclude that Oyashio winter mixed-layer water contributes to a freshening of the lighter layer of the NPIW salinity minimum (around 26.70σ_θ) in the MWR.     

达山岛、平岛、车牛山岛邻近海域大型底栖生物分布特征

在海洋底栖生态系中,大型底栖生物在有机碎屑的分解利用、调节泥水界面的物质交换、促进水体的自净化中起着重要的作用,自身又是其他经济动物的食物,其生产量与渔业产量密切相关,因而底栖生物资源量分布常是衡量海区渔业资源状况的最基本要素.为了解苏、鲁交界海域的底栖生物资源量现状,于2002年6月对达山岛、平岛、车牛山岛(以下简称前三岛)邻近海域的大型底栖生物进行了调查,调查区位于海洲湾外侧,最近点距山东省岚山港和江苏省连云港约10～20km,调查范围为35°08 263'～34°59 598'N,119°14 686'～120°21 160'E.     

Paleoenvironment and sea-level change in the early Cretaceous Barents Sea—implications from near-shore marine sapropels

The late Volgian (early "Boreal" Berriasian) sapropels of the Hekkingen Formation of the central Barents Sea show total organic carbon (TOC) contents from 3 to 36 wt%. The relationship between TOC content and sedimentation rate (SR), and the high Mo/Al ratios indicate deposition under oxygen-free bottom-water conditions, and suggest that preservation under anoxic conditions has largely contributed to the high accumulation of organic carbon. Hydrogen index values obtained from Rock-Eval pyrolysis are exceptionally high, and the organic matter is characterized by well-preserved type II kerogen. However, the occurrence of spores, freshwater algae, coal fragments, and charred land-plant remains strongly suggests proximity to land. Short-term oscillations, probably reflecting Milankovitch-type cyclicity, are superimposed on the long-term trend of constantly changing depositional conditions during most of the late Volgian. Progressively smaller amounts of terrestrial organic matter and larger amounts of marine organic matter upwards in the core section may have been caused by a continuous sea-level rise.     

Evidence of NW extension of the North Anatolian Fault Zone in the Marmara Sea: a new interpretation of the Marmara Sea (Izmit) earthquake on 17 August 1999

Active faults aligning in NW–SE direction and forming flower structures of strike-slip faults were observed in shallow seismic data from the shelf offshore of Avcılar in the northern Marmara Sea. By following the parallel drainage pattern and scarps, these faults were traced as NW–SE-directed lineaments in the morphology of the northern onshore sector of the Marmara Sea (eastern Thrace Peninsula). Right-lateral displacements in two watersheds of drainage and on the coast of the Marmara Sea and Black Sea are associated with these lineaments. This right-lateral displacement along the course of these faults suggests a new, active strike-slip fault zone located at the NW extension of the northern boundary fault of the ?ınarcık Basin in the Marmara Sea. This new fault zone is interpreted as the NW extension of the northern branch of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), extending from the ?ınarcık Basin of the Marmara Sea to the Black Sea coast of the Thrace Peninsula, and passing through B üy ük ?ekmece and K ü ? ük ?ekmece lagoons. These data suggest that the rupture of the 17 August 1999 earthquake in the NAFZ may have extended through Avcılar. Indeed, Avcılar and İzmit, both located on the Marmara Sea coast along the rupture route, were strongly struck by the earthquake whereas the settlements between Avcılar and İzmit were much less affected. Therefore, this interpretation can explain the extraordinary damage in Avcılar, based on the newly discovered rupture of the NAFZ in the Marmara Sea. However, this suggestion needs to be confirmed by further seismological studies.     

注射生物胺对凡纳滨对虾免疫指标的影响

研究了注射生物胺(多巴胺、5-羟色胺)对凡纳滨对虾Litopenaeus vanna mei免疫指标的影响。结果表明,注射生物胺(10-9mol.尾-1)对凡纳滨对虾血细胞数量、血淋巴酚氧化酶活力、溶菌和抗菌活力影响显著(p<0.05),而对照组各免疫指标无明显变化;在实验时间内,注射生物胺处理组各免疫指标呈明显峰值变化,血细胞数量均在3h达到最小值,血淋巴酚氧化酶活力和溶菌、抗菌活力均分别于6h时达到最大值和最小值,且多巴胺处理组各免疫指标比5-羟色胺处理组变化更明显,其中大、小颗粒细胞和血淋巴酚氧化酶活力在12h后保持稳定,总血细胞和透明细胞数量18h后趋于稳定,血淋巴溶菌和抗菌活力在24h后稳定,而且稳定后各免疫指标与对照组均无显著差异。     

热带太平洋-印度洋上层热含量年际变化的主模态

利用多种海洋资料,采用经验正交函数分解(EOF)与合成分析等方法研究了热带太平洋-印度洋热含量年际变化的主要模态及其对应的转换过程。结果表明其第一模态对应El Nino事件成熟位相时的空间分布,即热带西太平洋和东印度洋为一冷中心,西南印度洋和赤道东太平洋为暖中心;第二模态对应着El Nino事件过渡期的空间分布,太平洋10°N附近以及赤道带为变化中心,而印度洋的变化中心主要在苏门答腊岛西部的赤道东印度洋海区。这2个模态基本刻画了ENSO循环过程中热带两大洋热含量变化的关键海区。利用合成分析结果与EOF分解结果的相似性,探讨了EOF分解前两个模态之间的转换过程,发现第一模态可能主要是通过海洋波动的传播过程调整到第二模态的,而第二模态还可以作为El Nino或La Nina事件的预报因子。此外,分析结果还表明,El Nino事件与La Nina事件对应的热含量变化并不是反对称的。     

紫外线照射剂量对九孔鲍胚胎及幼虫的影响

采用不同的紫外线照射剂量的海水诱导九孔鲍产卵,观察其对卵子的受精率、畸形率和孵化率的影响.紫外线照射剂量的配制方法是:用紫外线照射过的最大剂量的海水与新鲜海水混合配制出各种剂量的海水.实验把雌亲鲍分成7组,每组20只,分别用紫外线照射剂量为0(对照组)、450、600、750、900、1 050和1 200mW.h/dm3的海水进行刺激产卵.试验重复3次.结果表明,紫外线照射剂量在1 200mW.h/dm3以内,对卵子的受精率影响不大;紫外线照射剂量在750mW.h/dm3以内,对卵子的畸形率影响不大,但在900~1 200mW.h/dm3,对卵子的畸形率影响很大;紫外线照射剂量在600mW.h/dm3以内,对卵子的孵化率没有什么影响,但在750~1 200mW.h/dm3,对卵子的孵化率影响很大.综合考虑卵子的受精率、畸形率和孵化率,九孔鲍催产的适宜的紫外线照射剂量应为450~750mW.h/dm3.     

Phylogenetic analysis of Pectinidae(Bivalvia) based on the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer region

The ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region is a useful genomic region for understanding evolutionary and genetic relationships. In the current study, the molecular phylogenetic analysis of Pectinidae (Mollusca: Bivalvia) was performed using the nucleotide sequences of the nuclear ITS region in nine species of this family. The sequences were obtained from the scallop species Argopecten irradians, Mizuhopecten yessoensis, Amusium pleuronectes and Mimachlamys nobilis, and compared with the published sequences of Aequipecten opercularis, Chlamys farreri, C. distorta, M. varia, Pecten maximus, and an outgroup species Perna viridis. The molecular phylogenetic tree was constructed by the neighbor-joining and maximum parsimony methods. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS1, ITS2, or their combination always yielded trees of similar topology. The results support the morphological classifications of bivalve and are nearly consistent with classification of two subfamilies (Chlamydinae and Pectininae) formulated by Waller. However, A. irradians, together with A. opercularis made up of genera Amusium, evidences that they may belong to the subfamily Pectinidae. The data are incompatible with the conclusion of Waller who placed them in Chlamydinae by morphological characteristics. These results provide new insights into the evolutionary relationships among scallop species and contribute to the improvement of existing classification systems.
