A multi-national,multi-parameter marine study of the western Solomon Sea and Region

A geological /geophysical survey of the western Solomon Sea and Manus Basin, northeastern Bismarck Sea, was carried out in 1983-84. The results of the survey and associated studies are reported in this issue and a later issue ofGeo-Marine Letters.     

2014年春季渤海浮游植物群落结构

基于2014年春季在渤海进行的水文、化学和生物方面的综合大面调查,研究了渤海浮游植物群落的结构特征,并结合文献资料,分析影响浮游植物群落结构形成的原因。结果显示：2014年渤海春季共鉴定浮游植物3门29属50种,以硅藻为主,还有少数甲藻和金藻。其中,硅藻门中圆筛藻属的种类最多,共12种,其次为角毛藻属,共5种。浮游植物总细胞丰度介于1.08×10⁴~181.09×10⁴个/m³,平均为25.47×10⁴个/m³。硅藻与甲藻细胞丰度比值为12：1,硅藻在物种数量和细胞丰度上均占有绝对优势,为渤海浮游植物的主要类群。浮游植物优势种主要为密联角毛藻（Chaetoceros densus）、斯氏几内亚藻（Guinardia striata）、具槽帕拉藻（Paralia sulcata）和夜光藻（Noctiluca scintillans）。渤海春季浮游植物群落多样性水平较低,且分布不均。渤海中部和渤海海峡海域由于单一优势种过量繁殖导致群落稳定性较差。与历史同期资料对比,渤海海域浮游植物群落出现明显的物种演替现象,角毛藻的优势地位显著性下降,斯氏几内亚藻首次在渤海大面调查中被记录为优势种。本研究为今后渤海环境生态系统和渔业资源变动的研究提供重要基础资料和参考依据。     

DIATOMS FROM THE SURFACE SEDIMENTS OFF THE SOUTHERN HUANGHAI SEA AND EAST CHINA SEA

Two new species (Nitzschia sinensis Liu, sp. nov. and Podosira granulata Liu, sp. nov.) and one new variety (Xanthiopyxis microspinosa var. ellipticus Liu, var. nov.) collected from the urface sediments off the southern Huanghai Sea and the East China Sea are described and a list of diatoms from the surface sediments in the survey area and some new records in China are attached.     

Feeding of the Norwegian spring spawning herring Clupea harengus (Linne) at the different stages of its life cycle

The aim of the research was to investigate the diet of herring at different stages of its life cycle. For that purpose feeding of 0-group and immature herring in the Barents Sea, as well as of mature fish from the Norwegian Sea, was studied. 0-Group herring was sampled in the Barents Sea in August–September 2002–2005 during the international 0-group and trawl-acoustic survey of pelagic fish, as well as during the trawl-acoustic survey of demersal fish in November–December 2003–2004. Stomach samples of immature herring (1–3 years) were collected in late May and early of June 2001 and 2005 in the south-western part of the Barents Sea during the trawl-acoustic survey for young herring. Stomach samples of mature herring were collected in the Norwegian Sea in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001, and 2002 in the course of the international trawl-acoustic survey of pelagic fish. Feeding intensity of herring of all age groups varied considerably between years and this was probably associated with availability and accessibility of their prey. The 0-group herring was found to have the most diverse diet, including 31 different taxa. In August–September, copepods, euphausiids, Cladocera, and larvae Bivalvia were most frequent in the diet of 0-group herring, but euphausiids and Calanus finmarchicus were the main prey taken. In November–December, euphausiids and tunicates were major prey groups. It was found that C. finmarchicus in the diet of 0-group herring was replaced by larval and adult euphausiids with increasing fish length. C. finmarchicus was the principal prey of immature herring and dominated in the diet of both small and large individuals and mainly older copepodites of C. finmarchicus were taken. Larval and adult euphausiids were found in stomachs of immature herring as well, but their share was not large. The importance of different prey for mature herring in the Norwegian Sea varied depending on the feeding area and length of the herring. On the whole C. finmarchicus and 0-group fish were the most important prey for mature herring diet, but fish prey were only important in a small sampling area. Hyperiids, euphausiids, tunicates, and pteropods were less important prey, and in 2002 herring actively consumed herring fry and redfish larvae.     

渤海氮磷营养盐和叶绿素浓度时空分布数值模拟与富营养化评估

当前渤海富营养化风险仍居高不下,严重制约了环渤海社会经济可持续发展。开展近海富营养化评估与趋势分析是国家生态安全保障的需求, 其难点在于富营养化评价要素长期演变进程高质量数据的获取。基于HAMSOM海洋生态模型, 通过修正溶解有机氮(dissolved organic nitrogen, DON)的难/易降解组分降解动力学形式, 构建了适用于富营养化评估与趋势分析的渤海三维水动力/生物地球化学耦合模型。利用2019年渤海春、夏、秋、冬四个季节DON、溶解无机氮(dissolved inorganic nitrogen, DIN)、溶解无机磷(dissolved inorganicphosphorus, DIP)和叶绿素a(chlorophyll a, chl a)调查结果, 对模型进行了校正, 并利用1980年至2020年的长期调查结果进行了验证, 模拟结果与调查结果相比较, 在数值大小和变化趋势上均吻合较好, 相对标准偏差、相似性系数和Kappa系数分别为24%、0.77和0.60。利用模型模拟计算的DIN、DIP、DON和chl a长期演变进程数据, 计算了营养状态质量指数(nutritional quality index, NQI)。结果表明, 当前渤海富营养化状态整体上处于贫营养状态, 但在渤海湾、辽东湾和莱州湾湾底近岸海域处于富营养状态, 季节上5~10月份处于中等富营养化状态, 从长期变化趋势看, 渤海整体上富营养化状态趋于改善。与复合富营养化指数(compound eutrophication index, CEI)对比表明, 渤海富营养化评估按NQI计算结果与按CEI计算结果相当吻合, 相似性系数为0.83。文章建立的渤海富营养化评估方法具有较高可靠性, 可用于渤海富营养化评估。     

A multi-national,multi-parameter marine study of the Western Solomon Sea and region—Part II

In 1983–84, a cooperative geological/geophysical program was carried out in the western Solomon Sea and northeastern Bismarck Sea on the Japanese vesselNatsushima. Scientists representing Japan, Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the regional marine geoscience organization CCOP/SOPAC participated in the study. The first papers were published inGeo-Marine Letters, Volume 6, No. 4. This issue, containing six papers, is the second on the results of that work and the final of the special issues on the Western Solomon Sea and Region.     

Spinoecia crassispina (nov. sp.), A NEW SPECIES OF PLANKTONIC OSTRACODA

INTRODUCTION In the analysis of the planktonic samples collected from the transection survey of the East China Sea (28°—34°N, west to 127°E) from December, 1977 to November, 1978, and the survey of the South China Sea(12°—19°30'N, 111°—118°E) from September, 1983 to December, 1984, we found some female specimens belonging to Spinoecia, but different from all the known species in the genus. Based on comparisons, we have iden-     

2015年5月黄海及东海北部大型水母分布及生物量估算

2015年5月搭载“北斗”渔业调查船、使用渔拖网的采样方式,在整个黄海及东海北部进行系统的走航式大面调查,记录了30°N—39°N海区内的大型水母种类组成、伞径大小及生物量分布,估算和比较了大型水母与其他渔业生物的生物量。结果表明,5月整个调查区,大型水母的总生物量估算值5.9万t,绝大部分由黄海中部的多管水母和洋须水母生物量贡献所致。出现的大型水母种类伞径分布呈单峰型。不同种类的水母分布具有明显地理区域和水文偏好性。其中,洋须水母主要分布于黄海中、北部50m水深以深水域,多管水母主要分布于黄海中部50m水深以浅的西侧以及整个东海北部;沙海蜇多为幼体,分布于黄、东海交汇区31°N—33°N间;霞水母较为集中出现于31°N以南、123°N以西近海。各水母种类的高密区的底层水温按洋须水母、沙海蜇、四叶小舌水母、霞水母呈升高趋势。东海多管水母分布区的底层水温与沙海蜇相近;黄海多管水母分布区的底层水温较洋须水母略高。沙海蜇和四叶小舌水母较其他水母的适温范围宽。霞水母和洋须水母处于相对高盐区域。     

山东半岛近岸海域蟹类群落结构特征的研究

根据2014年8月和10月、2015年2月和5月使用单船底拖网进行的4个航次调查数据,对山东半岛近岸海区的莱州湾及渤海南部、山东半岛北部和山东半岛南部等3个海域蟹类种类组成、时空分布、优势种、群落结构稳定性等群落结构特征进行了研究。结果显示,4次调查共捕获蟹类20种,隶属于10科17属,其中日本蟳（Charybdis japonica）和三疣梭子蟹（Portunus trituberculatus）是主要经济种类,其余均为小型饵料型蟹类;海区内主要的优势种为双斑蟳（Charybdis bimaculata）、日本蟳（Charybdis japonica）和三疣梭子蟹（Portunus trituberculatus）,3个海域优势种季节更替均十分明显;莱州湾及渤海南部和山东半岛南部2个海域生物量季节变化明显,春季较低,在夏季达到峰值,夏季到冬季呈降低趋势,山东半岛北部海域生物量季节变化不明显。3个海域蟹类群落物种多样性指数（H'）、丰富度指数（D）及均匀度指数（J'）均处于较低水平,并有一定的季节变化;水深、水温和盐度是影响蟹类群落结构的重要因子,渤莱沿岸流、黄海暖流和黄海冷水团通过影响海域内水温与盐度影响蟹类群落结构。研究表明山东半岛近岸海区蟹类以小型饵料型蟹类为主,蟹类多样性水平较低,优势种更替明显,群落季节更替指数较高,季节间迁移频繁,蟹类群落不稳定。     

渤海经济无脊椎动物群落的年代变动

With the decline of fish stocks, the proportions of economically important invertebrates like crustaceans and cephalopods have increased in the Bohai Sea. The community structure and trophic level of economically important invertebrates were analyzed using the bottom trawl survey data collected by the Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute in the Bohai Sea in May and August of 1958–1959, 1982, 1992–1993, 2004, 2009 and 2015. A total of 37 species of economically important invertebrates, belonging to 5 orders, 24 families, were captured. The biomass densities of economically important invertebrates in the Bohai Sea displayed an overall downward trend from 1982 to 2015. Oratosquilla oratoria and Loligo spp. were the most dominant species in the past 30 years, the biomass proportion of O. oratoria increased gradually in both May and August from 1982 to 2015. Moreover,biodiversity indices of economically important invertebrates in the Bohai Sea appeared to decline from 1982 to2004 and then increased in 2015. Similarly, the mean trophic level of economically important invertebrates declined from 1982 to 2004 and increased slightly in 2015. Overall, although the proportions of invertebrates have increased, the biomass densities in the Bohai Sea have displayed an overall downward trend from 1982 to 2015.The increases in the biodiversity and trophic level of economically important invertebrates after the 2000 s,possibly benefit from stock enhancement projects implemented by governments at different levels and national fishery management measures such as the "double-control" of the total number and engine power of fishing vessels and summer moratorium of fishing.     

2018年6月渤海大型水母分布特征

2018年6月使用渔业底拖网采样，对渤海大型水母进行了全面调查，调查船舶为"中渔科102"渔业科考船。本研究分析了渤海大型水母的种类组成、渔获密度与伞径大小，并对其源地进行了探讨。结果表明：本次调查共采集到海月水母、沙海蜇、海蜇、多管水母四种大型水母，其中海蜇、多管水母数量较少，各采集到一只。海月水母在渤海三湾均有分布，各海区伞径大小无显著差异且多为幼体（<10cm），密度高值区出现在渤海湾东南侧海域，可达38-221.21ind./（net·h），辽东湾海月水母出现于湾南，密度<5ind./（net·h），湾北未见；作者推测，海月水母在渤海沿岸可能存在多个源头，诸如：莱州湾与渤海湾交界近岸海域、河北近岸、辽东湾大连近岸以及北部近岸。沙海蜇在渤海分布较广，辽东湾为密度高值区，均值为（35.32±21.64）ind./（net·h），但伞径较小，均值为（12.15±6.52）cm；与此相对，渤海湾与莱州湾外侧海域沙海蜇密度虽小[<20ind./（net·h）]，但伞径要显著大于辽东湾，最大伞径均值可达（33.86±7.40）cm；作者推测，沙海蜇在渤海海域发源地主要集中于辽东湾近岸，渤海湾与莱州湾，外海出现的沙海蜇可能源于辽东湾，随海流运输至此。海月水母、沙海蜇在渤海发生时间要晚于黄、东海。本研究结果可为深入分析渤海大型水母的种群动态变化、暴发机理提供基础。     

Autumn living coccolithophores in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea

An investigation was carried out on living coccolithophores(LCs) distribution in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea from October 17 to November 24, 2011. A total of 223 samples from different depths were collected at 48 stations. Totally 18 taxa belonging to coccolithophyceae were identified using a polarized microscope at the 1 000× magnification. The maximum species abundance was found at the outside of Transect P. The dominated species were Gephyrocapsa oceanica, Emiliania huxleyi, Helicosphaera carteri, and Algirosphaera robusta. The abundance of coccoliths and cells ranged 0–2 965.73 coccoliths/mL, and 0–119.16 cells/mL, with the average values of 471.00 coccoliths/mL and 23.42 cells/mL, respectively. The LCs in surface layer were mainly observed on the coastal belt and middle part of the survey area. The comparison among Transects A, F, P and E indicated lower species diversity and less abundance in the Yellow Sea than those of the East China Sea. The highest abundance of LCs was found in transect F and P. The coccolith abundance increased slightly from surface to bottom in the water column, but the highest value of the cell abundance was observed in the depth of 10–30 m. Temperature, depth and nutrient concentration were suggested as the major environmental factors controlling the distribution and species composition of LCs in the studying area based on canonical correspondence analysis(CCA).     

2009-2018年南黄海苏北浅滩海域漂浮浒苔和马尾藻现场调查研究

利用2009-2018年在南黄海苏北浅滩海域的现场调查数据,分析和研究了该海域漂浮绿藻和马尾藻的长期变化和季节性波动特征。研究显示,漂浮绿藻于每年4月中旬至下旬在浅滩中部筏架周围开始出现。5月－6月,漂浮绿藻生物量迅速增加,并漂移扩散至深水区。漂浮绿藻密度年际变化较大,但这十年间总体呈上升趋势。相比较而言,漂浮马尾藻仅在2013、2017和2018年在浅滩聚集形成春季藻华;且这三年,漂浮马尾藻密度超过同期漂浮绿藻。浅滩漂浮马尾藻的发生与发展过程与漂浮浒苔明显不同。3月,漂浮马尾藻开始出现于浅滩离岸海域,4-5月,漂浮马尾藻大量侵入浅滩,因此浅滩漂浮马尾藻现并非起源于本地。受高强度人类活动以及浅滩以外海域物理化学和生物过程的影响,浅滩环境因素与漂浮绿藻生物量的关系不甚明确。对于漂浮马尾藻的起源以及与漂浮绿藻的相互关系也需要进一步研究。     

A benthic mucilage event in North-Western Mediterranean Sea and its possible relationships with the summer 2003 European heatwave: short term effects on littoral rocky assemblages

In this contribution we document an anomalous mucilage growth which occurred in June 2003 along the rocky cliffs of the Portofino Promontory (Ligurian Sea, NW Mediterranean Sea), and we describe its dynamics and its negative effects on many benthic taxa. The zooxanthellate scleractinian Cladocora caespitosa underwent ‘bleaching’ and about 40% of biomass of the erect algae was detached by mucilage ‘lianas’ created and strengthened by bottom currents. The 2003 event differed from any other previously occurred in the northern Tyrrhenian Sea, in that the mucilage aggregates were formed by the free‐living form of the Phaeophyceae Acinetospora crinita (Harvey) Kornmann, a not usually dominant species in mucilage aggregates from the north Tyrrhenian Sea. The damage suffered by the benthic organisms living in this area was curtailed by a severe storm, occurred in July, which removed the mucilage to deeper depths, preventing irreversible damages. Only slow growing, perennant organisms, such as corallinales or scleractinians, were seriously affected, but a survey carried out 1 year later, in June 2004, allowed to appreciate a complete recovery of those organisms. This anomalous mucilage event occurred in coincidence of the 2003 European heatwave, and the anomalous temperature increase of seawater has to be regarded as the major contributing event that led to the mucilage outbreak.     

黄海绿潮研究:回顾与展望

自2007年以来,南黄海海域连年发生大规模绿潮(green tides),至2018年已连续12年出现。大规模绿潮对南黄海西部沿海一线的景观、环境和养殖业造成了严重破坏,已经成为黄海海域一类常态化的生态灾害问题。每年夏季,苏、鲁沿海一线地方政府都要投入大量人力物力,对海滩上堆积的绿藻进行收集和处理。针对绿潮问题,我国政府组织相关学者,围绕绿潮起源、成因、危害、监测和防控进行了大量调查和研究工作。经过多年研究,在黄海绿潮原因种及其鉴定方法、黄海绿潮起源地与早期发展过程、影响黄海绿潮的关键因素等方面已经有了比较系统、深入的认识,确认了黄海绿潮的原因种为浒苔(Ulva prolifera),发现黄海绿潮主要起源于南黄海西部的苏北浅滩海域,基本阐明了浅滩区绿潮早期发展的关键过程。浒苔自身的生物学特性、苏北浅滩独特的海域环境特征,以及浅滩区的养殖活动是影响黄海绿潮形成的关键要素。但是,在绿潮原因种浒苔的最初来源、绿潮的生态效应,绿潮演变趋势以及绿潮防控对策等方面仍需进一步开展研究工作。为验证黄海绿潮成因方面的科学认识,对绿潮防控工作提供思路和技术保障,青岛海洋科学与技术国家实验室设立了鳌山科技创新计划项目"近海生态灾害发生机理与防控策略",将黄海绿潮作为一项重要生态灾害问题开展研究,旨在进一步阐明绿潮成因,为绿潮防控提供坚实的科学依据。     

基于两种机器学习方法分析东海北部海域三疣梭子蟹(Portunus trituberculatus)时空分布

为了解东海北部海域三疣梭子蟹(Portunustrituberculatus)资源时空分布规律,探索更适合三疣梭子蟹资源量预测的模型方法,根据2006—2007年共四个季度在东海北部海域的底拖网调查数据,运用梯度提升回归树(gradientboostingregressiontree,GBRT)和支持向量机(supportvector machine,SVM)这两种机器学习方法,分析了三疣梭子蟹时空分布与环境因子之间的关系,同时使用方差解释率(VE)、相对均方根误差(RMSE)以及决定系数R2等指标对不同模型的拟合效果、预测性能以及稳定性等进行了比较,选择其中最佳模型对东海北部海域三疣梭子蟹资源分布进行预测。结果显示, GBRT模型的拟合效果相对优于SVM模型,两种模型的拟合结果均显示底层海水盐度(SBS)为影响三疣梭子蟹资源分布最为显著的环境因子。GBRT模型的预测性能较高且模型较为稳定,其预测结果显示夏季的资源量高于其他三个季节,且各季节所研究海域的东南部均存在一个资源分布的低值区。研究结果预期可为三疣梭子蟹资源分布及资源量预测新方法的探索和分析提供技术指导。     

中国黄渤海春秋季今生颗石藻

The living coccolithophores(LCs) are an important class of calcified taxa of phytoplankton functional groups,and major producers of marine biogenic inorganic carbon,playing an important role in the marine carbon cycle.In this study,we report the two-demensional abundance,composition of LCs and its correlation with the environmental parameters in spring and autumn,in order to understand the ecological role of LCs in the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea.In spring,totally 9 taxa belonging to coccolithophyceae were identified using a polarized microscope at the 1 000× magnification.The dominant species were Emiliania huxleyi,Gephyrocapsa oceanica,Helicosphaera carteri,and Calcidiscus leptoporus.The abundance of coccosphores and coccoliths ranged 0–7.72cells/m L,and 0–216.09 coccoliths/m L,with the average values of 0.21 cells/m L,and 11.36 coccoliths/m L,respectively.The Emiliania huxleyi distribution was similar to Gephyrocapsa oceanica.The highest abundance of coccoliths was observed in the east of Shandong Peninsula in northern Yellow Sea,whereas Helicosphaera carteri distributed more widely.Emiliania huxleyi and Gephyrocapsa oceanica were the two predominant species in LCs with higher abundances.The distribution of LCs was similar to that of coccoliths.In autumn,14 taxa belonging to coccolithophyceae were identified with dominant species as Emiliania huxleyi,Gephyrocapsa oceanica,Helicosphaera carteri,Calcidiscus leptoporus and Oolithotus fragilis.The abundance of coccosphores and coccoliths ranged 0–24.69 cells/m L,and 0–507.15 coccoliths/m L,with the average values of 1.47 cells/m L,and55.89 coccoliths/m L,respectively.The highest abundance of coccoliths was located in Qingdao coastal waters and south of the survey area.The distribution of LCs was similar to the coccoliths; in addition,LCs presented large abundance in the east of the central Yellow Sea area.     

南黄海绿潮暴发与紫菜养殖的关系

采用现场调查、社会调查和卫星遥感多种手段相结合,调查了南黄海绿潮早期零星漂浮到大面积暴发的时空变化过程,分析了紫菜养殖工艺对绿潮暴发的影响,估算了南黄海不同紫菜养殖区输入海洋的绿潮藻初始生物量,并探讨了主要海域紫菜养殖面积的增长与绿潮暴发的关系。结果表明,受紫菜养殖生产工艺的影响,数以千吨的绿潮藻在短期内被刮落集中输入至海洋,为绿潮的暴发提供了最为直接和充足的绿潮藻初始生物量,其主要来源为竹根沙、蒋家沙和东沙紫菜养殖区。2005年以来,上述3个养殖区的紫菜养殖面积持续扩大,是2007年以来南黄海绿潮持续暴发的主要原因。水温是影响绿潮形成的关键环境因素,4~6月份大量被刮落入海的绿潮藻在适宜环境条件下漂浮和快速生长,并最终形成绿潮。     

Specific oceanographic characteristics and phytoplankton responses influencing the primary production around the Ulleung Basin area in spring

The East Sea(Sea of Japan)is a marginal,semi-closed sea in the northwestern Pacific.The Ulleung Basin area,which is located near the subpolar front of the East Sea,is known to have high primary production and good fisheries in spring season.After episodic wind-driven events during the spring of 2017,horizontal and vertical profiles of physical chemical biological factors were investigated at 29 stations located in the Ulleung Basin area.In addition,growth responses of phytoplankton communities to nutrient additions were evaluated by bioassay experiments to understand the fluctuation of phytoplankton biomass.Because of strong northwestern wind,phytoplankton biomass was scattered and upwelling phenomenon might be suppressed in this season.The phytoplankton abundances in the coastal stations were significantly higher than offshore and island stations.In contrast,the nutrient and chlorophyll a(Chl a)concentrations and the phytoplankton biomass were quite low in all locations.Bacillariophyceae was dominated group(>75.1%for coastal,40.0%for offshore and 43.6%for island stations).In the algal bioassays,the phytoplankton production was stimulated by N availability.The in vivo Chl a values in the+N and+NP treatments were significantly higher than the values in the control and the+P treatments.Based on the field survey,the higher nutrients in coastal waters affected the growth of diatom assemblages,however,little prosperity of phytoplankton was observed in the offshore waters despite the injection of sufficient nutrients in bioassay experiments.The growth of phytoplankton depended on the initial cell density.All of results indicated that a dominant northwestern wind led to a limited nutrients condition at euphotic layers,and the low level of biomass supply from the coasts resulted in low primary production.Both supplying nutrients and introducing phytoplankton through the currents are critical to maintain the high productivity in the Ulleung Basin area of the East Sea.     

南海5类重要经济鱼类资源声学评估

1997年12月至1999年6月,利用“北斗”号调查船配置的Simrad EK500回声探测-积分系统在南海北部海域进行了渔业资源声学调查,调查分春(4~6月)、夏(7~9月)、秋(10~12月)、冬(12~2月)4个季节进行.根据调查资料,运用渔业资源声学评估方法对该海域的带鱼科、蓝圆鲹、竹荚鱼、金线鱼科以及大眼鲷科等5类23种经济鱼类进行了评估与分析.结果表明,这些种类在南海北部海域仍具有一定的资源储量,其资源量分别为5.04×105,1.63×105,1.04×105,9.8×104和9.2×104t;分析了其资源量的区域分布和季节变化.
