颗石藻Emiliania huxleyi对升温和温度波动响应的株间效应

在全球气候变化的背景下,极端天气频发,海洋生物也将受到环境异质性的影响,即环境条件基于平均水平的震荡变化。为研究温度波动变化对海洋碳循环中的重要种群颗石藻的影响,采用半连续培养的方式对海洋颗石藻优势种赫氏颗石藻(Emiliania huxleyi)的非钙化株系与钙化株系分别进行模拟培养实验,探究颗石藻在低(20℃)和高(25℃)平均温度下对升温及温度波动变化的响应。结果表明,升温与温度波动对两株E.huxleyi的生长均起到了抑制作用,而升温和温度波动变化对两株E.huxleyi的生长速率以及胞内碳水化合物含量、非钙化株系的颗粒有机碳含量及钙化株系的蛋白质和颗粒物无机碳含量、碳氮比及沉降速率产生了显著的交互效应,温度的波动变化在一定程度上增强了颗石藻应对升温的适应性。通过对两株系的生理响应结果进行对比分析,发现非钙化株系各生理参数对升温和温度波动变化更为敏感,表明颗石藻的钙化作用可能对其应对环境波动下的极端环境条件起缓冲保护作用。升温和温度波动变化显著削弱了颗石藻的沉降速率,可能会对颗石藻相关的海洋碳沉降与输出产生显著的削弱效应。因此,为了更准确地预测海洋颗石藻对气候变化的响应,未来相关研究需要考虑叠加在升温基础上的温度波动变化对颗石藻的生理生态学效应。     

船基围隔条件下沙尘和营养盐添加对近海浮游植物群落结构的影响

为研究沙尘沉降和营养盐输入对中国陆架海域浮游植物群落结构的影响,于2017年3—4月在中国黄、东海进行沙尘和不同营养盐(NO^-₃、PO^-₄、尿素)添加的船基围隔培养实验。结果表明,与对照组相比,沙尘(2 mg/L)和尿素添加实验组的浮游植物群落细胞密度及群落结构变化不显著,叶绿素a含量差异不显著,优势种均为海链藻属 (Thalassiosira)。不同比值的氮、磷无机营养盐添加对水体中叶绿素a含量和细胞密度的影响不同,其中氮磷比为64∶1的实验组叶绿素a含量和细胞密度最高,分别为18.20 μg/L和7.86×10⁵cells/L。沙尘和营养盐添加对浮游植物群落的影响主要表现为叶绿素a含量、细胞密度峰值及不同优势种所占比例的差异,而各个实验组的种类组成及优势种具有一定的相似性。

Influence of Turbulence Intensity and Turbulence Length Scale on the Drag, Lift and Heat Transfer of A Circular Cylinder

Influence of the turbulence intensity and turbulence length scale on the hydrodynamic characteristics and heat transfer of a circular cylinder, streamlined by a viscous fluid flow, is numerically studied. We take the Reynolds number of the oncoming flow equal to 4×10⁴, the turbulence intensity Tu_f and the dimensionless turbulence length scale L_f varying from 1.0% to 40% and from 0.25 to 4.0, respectively. We confirmed that the increase of Tu_f leads to the suppression of the periodic vortex shedding from the cylinder surface, and as a result the stationary mode of streamlining is formed. Consequently, with the increasing turbulence intensity directly in front of the cylinder Tu^*, the amplitude of the lift coefficient decreases monotonically. Nevertheless, the time-averaged drag coefficient of the streamlined cylinder decreases at Tu^*<6.0%, and increases at Tu^*>9.0%. The dependence of the average Nusselt number on Tu^* is near-linear, and with the increasing turbulence intensity, the Nusselt number rises. However, the change of the average Nusselt number depending on L_f is non-monotonic and at L_f=1.0, the value reaches its maximum.     

小长山岛3种大型海藻组织碳、氮含量和δ15N值的环境指示意义

大型海藻组织碳、氮含量及δ¹⁵N值的变化对于指示营养盐来源及营养盐评价研究具有重要的意义。为探究大型海藻组织碳、氮含量及δ¹⁵N值的变化特征,于2020年7月至2021年6月逐月分析了小长山岛潮间带孔石莼（Ulva pertusa）、角叉菜（Chondrus ocellatus）、鼠尾藻（Sargassum thunbergii）3种大型海藻组织的碳、氮含量和δ¹⁵N值的变化,并对其生长环境中海水的理化因子进行了测定。结果发现：孔石莼组织的氮含量与海水中的NO₃-N和DIN含量之间存在显著的相关性,角叉菜组织的氮含量与海水中的NH₃-N含量之间也存在显著的相关性。然而,大型海藻组织的碳含量和C/N比值与海水中的碳、氮营养盐之间并无显著的相关性。孔石莼组织的δ¹⁵N值与海水中的NO₃-N和DIN含量之间也存在显著的相关性。因此,孔石莼适于用作NO₃-N和DIN来源的指示藻种。结果指示小长山岛潮间带海水中具有供大型海藻生长利用的充足的营养盐,其主要受到生活污水和养殖排放的影响。

增殖放流影响下东海北部海域三疣梭子蟹(Portunus trituberculatus)最大可持续产量评估

当渔业资源出现衰退时,加强资源增殖放流以养护渔业资源、提高渔业产量对于渔业资源可持续利用具有重要意义;与此同时,增殖放流的实施会对基于资源开发与管理的评估的结果产生影响。基于2001~2015年间东海北部海域三疣梭子蟹(Portunus trituberculatus)渔业数据,采用增殖剩余产量模型,对东海北部海域三疣梭子蟹的最大可持续产量(MSY)及取得MSY时所需捕捞努力量(E_MSY)和原存生物量(B_MSY)进行了评估,并与传统Schaefer模型评估结果进行了比较。结果表明,当年增殖放流量约在3×10⁶~95×10⁶尾之间时,三疣梭子蟹年产量逐渐增加, MSY在14.2×10⁴ t和14.6×10⁴ t之间, E_MSY基本在15×10⁴吨位左右。增殖放流量增加,其对应的MSY也越高,能承受的E_MSY也越高(从15×10⁴~15.4×10⁴吨位之间),相反B_MSY则减小(从188.4×10⁴ t降至186.6×10⁴ t)。与传统的Schaefer模型评估结果相比,增殖剩余产量模型由于考虑了增殖放流生物量的因素,得到了MSY和E_MSY有所增加,而B_MSY有所下降的结论。研究结果有望为该研究海域三疣梭子蟹可持续地捕捞、放流与管理提供科学依据。     

天津近岸浮游植物群落对海洋酸化和硝酸盐加富的响应

为了评估海洋酸化和富营养化耦合作用对近海浮游生态环境的影响,本研究以天津市近岸海域浮游植物群落的生物地球化学指标为研究对象,分别采用一次性及连续培养的方式模拟自然水华及稳态条件,探究其对二氧化碳(CO₂)和硝酸盐浓度变化及二者耦合作用的响应。实验条件设置如下:1)对照:二氧化碳分压p(CO₂)40.53 Pa、无硝酸盐添加;2)酸化:p(CO₂)101.3 Pa、无硝酸盐添加;3)加N:p(CO₂)40.53 Pa、添加硝酸盐50 μmol·L^–1;4)酸化加N:p(CO₂)101.3 Pa、添加硝酸盐50 μmol·L^–1。实验结果表明,硝酸盐加富比酸化更加显著地促进浮游植物群落总叶绿素(Chl a)生物量及颗粒有机碳(POC)和颗粒有机氮(PON)积累,酸化和加N使浮游植物群落粒径大小升高。连续培养实验表明,酸化和N加富对Chl a、生物硅(BSi)、PON浓度、PON与颗粒有机磷(POP)比值(N/P)、POC与BSi比值(C/BSi)及沉降速率有协同交互作用,对POP和POC浓度及POC与PON比值(C/N)有拮抗性交互作用。在一次性培养后,酸化显著降低了浮游植物群落的沉降速率;而在连续培养后,酸化和N加富使浮游植物群落沉降速率显著升高。这些结果表明酸化和N加富对与近岸浮游植物相关的生物地球化学循环及在不同生长阶段的种群碳沉降存在不同的潜在影响及交互效应。     

球形棕囊藻同化吸收硝酸盐的氮氧稳定同位素分馏研究

球形棕囊藻(Phaeocystis globosa)赤潮是一种全球范围的生态灾害,而硝酸盐稳定同位素技术是研究海洋富营养化与赤潮暴发机制的前沿技术。为将该技术应用于球形棕囊藻赤潮暴发机制方面的研究,首先需了解其同化吸收硝酸盐的稳定同位素分馏特征。为此开展了球形棕囊藻室内培养实验,获取培养过程中氮、磷、硅等营养盐的浓度及硝酸盐氮、氧稳定同位素(δ¹⁵N-NO₃^-、δ¹⁸O-NO₃^-)等参数的变化特征,计算球形棕囊藻同化吸收硝酸盐的稳定同位素分馏系数。结果显示,NO₃^-和PO₄^3-浓度随培养时间均呈现先明显下降后稳定的特征,同时伴随直径2~3mm的囊体出现并生长至2~3cm。NH₄⁺浓度先后两次出现升高,推测可能是受到有机氮矿化过程的补充所致。随NO₃^-浓度降低,δ¹⁵N和δ¹⁸O的值分别在第13天和第7天达到相对峰值。经计算,球形棕囊藻同化吸收硝酸盐过程δ¹⁵N和δ¹⁸O分馏系数分别为3.32‰±0.38‰和3.12‰±0.59‰,而前者的分馏系数呈逐渐降低的特点,原因可能是随球形棕囊藻生长,发生酶还原的NO₃^-较参与跨膜运输的NO₃^-比例逐渐升高。研究首次给出了球形棕囊藻同化吸收硝酸盐过程的氮、氧稳定同位素分馏系数及其变化特征,补充了海洋微藻同位素分馏数据库,为稳定同位素技术研究球形棕囊藻赤潮暴发的营养机制提供了重要的基础数据。

根据2012年5月（春季）、8月（夏季）、11月（秋季）和2013年2月（冬季）在台山列岛的拖网定点调查数据,对该海域渔业资源种类组成、优势种、物种多样性、资源密度（质量及数量密度）的空间分布及其季节变化等群落结构特征进行分析研究。结果表明,共记录台山列岛渔业生物136种,隶属于18目63科98属,其中鱼类80种,虾类16种,蟹类28种,口足类3种,头足类9种;优势种共有22种,口虾蛄（Oratosquilla oratoria）是唯一四季共同的优势种;Shannon Wiener种类多样性指数（H′）全年平均值为2.88（范围：2.80～2.95）,Pielou均匀度指数（J′）全年平均值为0.69（范围：0.65～0.72）,Margalef丰富度指数（D）全年平均值为6.99（范围：5.76～7.69）,夏季群落多样性较高;从渔业资源质量平均密度看,春、夏季最大值都出现在05站点,分别为640.70 kg/km²和1 039.31 kg/km²,秋季最大值出现在03站点,为1 187.48 kg/km²,冬季最大值出现在04站点,为683.24 kg/km²,从渔业资源数量平均密度看,春、夏季最大值都出现在05站点,分别为170.68×10³尾/km²和123.69×10³尾/km²,秋季最大值出现在01站点,为119.71×10³尾/km²,冬季最大值出现在04站点,为133.27×10³尾/km²。总体来说,台山列岛周边海域渔业资源物种较多,种间分布均匀,群落结构稳定。     

Microbial Biomass and Organic Nutrients in the Deep-Sea Sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin

In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, we measured the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian pioneer area. Sediments were collected using box core and grab samples during September 1996. The total bacterial numbers ranged from 10 10 -10 11 cells per g -1 dry weight sediment. There was a marginal decrease in the number of bacteria from surface to 30 cm depth, though the subsurface section registered a higher number than did the surface. The highest numbers were encountered at depths of 4-8 cm. The retrievable number of bacteria were two orders less in comparison with the direct total counts of bacteria. An almost homogeneous distribution of bacteria, total organic carbon, living biomass, and lipids throughout the depth of cores indicates active microbial and benthic processes in the deep sea sediments. On the other hand, a uniform distribution of total counts of bacteria, carbohydrates, and total organic carbon in all the cores indicates their stable nature and suggests that they can serve as useful parameters for long-term monitoring of the area after the benthic disturbance. Further studies on temporal variability in this region would not only verify the observed norms of distribution of these variables but would also help to understand restabilization processes after the simulated benthic disturbance.     

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.     

Geoacoustic Inversion via Genetic Algorithm and Its Application to Manganese Sediment Identification

An acoustic inversion method using a wide-band signal and two near field receivers is proposed and applied to multiple layered seabed models including a manganese sediment. The inversion problem can be formulated into a probabilistic model comprised of signals, a forward model, and additive noise. The forward model simulates wide-band signals, such as chirp signals, and is chosen to be the source-waveletconvolution plane wave modeling method. The wavelet matching technique, using weighted least-squares fitting, estimates the sediment sound-speed and thickness on which determination of the possible numerical ranges for a priori uniform distribution is based. The genetic algorithm is applied to a global optimization problem to find a maximum a posteriori solution for determined a priori search space. Here the object function is defined by an L 2 norm of the difference between measured and modeled signals. Not only the marginal pdf but also its statistics are calculated by numerical evaluation of integrals using the samples selected during importance sampling process of the genetic algorithm.     

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.     

Deep-Sea Sediment Compression Curves: Some Controlling Factors, Spurious Overconsolidation, Predictions, and Geophysical Reproduction

Oedometer tests have been carried out on 70 undisturbed surficial clays (at approximately 250 mm below the mudline), mostly collected by free-fall corers from sites widely scattered throughout the deep-sea North Atlantic. Acoustic measurements were also made, initially on contiguous samples and ultimately on the same sample using a geophysically instrumented oedometer which also collected electrical resistivity data. Apart from those quiescent areas below the carbonate compensation depth, such as north of the West Indies where very fine clays exist, most of the samples are silty clays whose geotechnical-geophysical properties are dependent on the type of clay minerals present (and their ability to take in moisture), the sand-size fraction, and the quantity of carbonate present. Thus the pure clays have high compressibilities which decrease on the addition of coarse particles, while the converse is true for the acoustic parameters, these increasing with the sand fraction. Using the notion of the intrinsic compression line for all samples, and comparison to it of the measured compression curves, it is clear that, contrary to some previously held ideas, most deep-sea clays are normally consolidated; the addition of carbonate has the effect of creating an open, stronger sediment skeleton. Interestingly, where information is available, the variation with depth of a sample's acoustic velocity follows the void ratio pressure relationship of the compression curve. This allows the construction of an in-situ sediment compression curve using the in-situ geophysical observations.     

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.     

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.
