Trophic accumulation and depuration of mercury by blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) and pink shrimp (Penaeus duorarum)

Mercury concentrations in blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) collected from an area of mercury-contaminated sediments in Lavaca Bay, TX, USA, are more than an order of magnitude greater than concentrations in penaeid shrimp from the same area. Laboratory feeding experiments using mercury-contaminated fish as food showed that both blue crabs and pink shrimp (Penaeus duorarum) could accumulate mercury concentrations comparable to those in their food in 28 days. Calculated mercury assimilation efficiencies averaged 76% for blue crabs and 72% for pink shrimp. Significant depuration of mercury by blue crabs was not observed during a subsequent 28-day period, but pink shrimp lost mercury at a rate of about 0.012 day-1. Model calculations predict biomagnification factors of mercury of about two to three at steady state for both species. The large difference in observed concentrations of mercury in field-collected blue crabs and penaeid shrimp does not result from differences in efficiency of mercury assimilation from their food or from differences in excretion rates. It is more likely the result of differences in residence times in the contaminated area and of differences in feeding habits.     

海洋甲烷水合物BSR的地震研究

根据多道地震反射资料分析，温哥华岛近海的北喀斯喀特俯冲带边缘有一清楚的BSR区。海底以下300m处的反射层代表笼形物或甲烷水合物层的底界。1300m水深和3600m长的地震检波器组合允许BSR振幅随炮检距变化，并进行高分辨速度分析和垂直入射资料模拟，所有三种类型分析结果能够较好地解释海底以下大约300m处BSR之上10－30m厚的高速层，并有一明显的底界和过渡顶界。在这层内，大约1／3的沉积物孔隙空间为冰状水合物充填。地震无法探测BSRs之下的游离气，这些结果对水合物BSR的形成与分布的模拟起到重要的控制作用。
