台湾海峡微微型浮游植物的生态研究 Ⅱ. 类群组成、生长速率及其影响因子

1997年8月、1998年2～3月和1998年8月,应用荧光显微镜、14C法分别测定了台湾海峡微微型浮游植物的类群组成和生长速率,探讨了该海域原绿球藻的存在及丰度问题.结果表明,在类群的丰度组成上,该海域以含藻红素的蓝细菌(PE细胞)占优势,平均为83%～93%(航次平均范围,下同),微微型真核浮游植物(EU细胞)次之,平均为7%～11%,含藻蓝素的蓝细菌(PC细胞)最少,平均为0%～6%;在碳生物量的组成上,PE细胞仍占优势,但其贡献率降低(52%～74%),EU细胞所占比例则升高(26%～44%).台湾海峡微微型浮游植物生长速率的变异性较大(0.52～2.25d-1),这可能与其所在测站的环境异质性(如营养盐的差异等)有关.采用叶绿素估算法证实该海域存在原绿球藻,其丰度介于107～108个/dm3之间,若将此考虑在内,在类群的丰度和生物量组成上,原绿球藻占优势(1998年8月碳生物量贡献率除外,为22%),丰度贡献率为63%～99%,碳生物量贡献率为60%～94%.     

河北沿岸微微型浮游植物的分布特征

于2006年7月～ 2007年10月间,分4个季度调查了河北省沿岸微微型浮游植物的丰度和生物量及对浮游植物总生物量的贡献.结果显示:河北近岸海域聚球藻蓝细菌丰度为4.46×103个/mL(0.79×103～ 16.19×103个/mL),生物量(以碳计,下同)为1.31 mg/m3 (0.84～17.47 mg/m3),季节分布特征为秋季＞冬季＞夏季＞春季.微微型光合真核生物丰度为4.43×102个/mL (0.84×102～ 17.47×102个/mL),生物量为1.11mg /m3 (0.21～ 4.37 mg/m3),季节变化变现为秋季＞冬季＞春季＞夏季.微微型浮游植物对浮游植物总生物量的贡献年平均为5.32％(1.84％～ 8.91％),春季最高,秋季最低.温度在较冷季节(冬春季)里是影响聚球藻蓝细菌生长和分布的控制因素.总之,在近岸环境里,微微型浮游植物并不占优势.     

基于浮游植物流式细胞仪对胶州湾春季浮游植物的研究

本文基于浮游植物流式细胞仪Cyto Sub对2014年春季胶州湾浮游植物功能群组成及其与环境因子的关系开展研究。Cyto Sub共检测出6个浮游植物类群,分别是聚球藻、微微型真核浮游植物、隐藻、微型单细胞藻、小型单细胞藻和链状藻。多元统计分析显示胶州湾春季浮游植物可划分为两个群落,群落1主要由湾外站位组成,浮游植物生物量浓度为15.15μg/L(以碳含量计,以下同),以小型单细胞藻、链状藻和微型单细胞藻为主;群落2主要由湾内站位组成,浮游植物生物量浓度为72.83μg/L,以链状藻为主。胶州湾的优势类群为链状藻,其丰度与水温和营养盐浓度呈显著正相关关系。与其他浮游植物粒级研究方法的比较表明,当调查海域优势种为小粒径的链状藻时,该方法能够快速、准确地测量出各个浮游植物类群的粒径参数,从而推算出浮游植物群落的粒级结构。     

北部湾海域微型、微微型浮游植物类群季节变化及其与棕囊藻赤潮的关系初探

近年来,北部湾海域连年暴发球形棕囊藻（Phaeocystis globosa）赤潮,对近海生态环境构成了潜在威胁。为了解北部湾海域球形棕囊藻赤潮生消过程及其与其他浮游植物类群的关系,自2016年9月至2017年8月期间,在北部湾海域开展了9个航次的调查,并应用流式细胞仪分析了微型真核藻类、微微型真核藻类、原绿球藻（Prochlorococcus spp.）和聚球藻（Synechococcus spp.）等4类浮游植物类群的变化情况。结果表明,北部湾海域各浮游植物类群主要分布在调查区北部钦州湾外侧海域和雷州半岛西侧近岸海域,其丰度有明显的季节变化。微微型真核藻类在春、秋两季丰度较高,而冬、夏季较低。微型真核藻类、聚球藻和原绿球藻的丰度均呈现夏季高、冬季低的特点,其中聚球藻丰度的季节变化最为显著,与水温变化密切相关。结合对球形棕囊藻赤潮生消过程以及调查海域水文条件的分析可以看出,北部湾海域球形棕囊藻赤潮发生过程中,海水温度下降至20℃左右,并且聚球藻和原绿球藻丰度具有明显变化,有望作为棕囊藻赤潮的预警指标,为该海域棕囊藻赤潮的预测和防控提供依据。

于2012年春季(5月)调查了渤海湾天津近岸海域的网采浮游植物群落,经初步分析发现网采浮游植物共2门17属28种,其中硅藻26种,占种类组成的92.9%;甲藻2种,占种类组成的7.1%。调查海域浮游植物以广温型近岸种为主,主要优势种为柔弱几内亚藻Guinardia delicatula、中华齿状藻Odontella sinensis、布氏双尾藻Ditylum brightwellii和格氏圆筛藻Coscinodiscus granii;调查海域网采浮游植物细胞丰度的分布主要由浮游硅藻的分布所决定,高值区主要分布在塘沽、大港和歧口周围海域;20个站位根据浮游植物的物种及丰度相似性可以划分为5组;浮游植物物种多样性指数在0.43～3.59之间,平均为2.15,多样性指数出现由南、北向中央逐渐缩小的趋势;水温、DO、pH值和无机氮与浮游植物种类组成和细胞丰度分布呈最大等级相关,这4个环境因子是对观察到的群落结构的最好解释。     

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.     

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。     

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.     

A Review of Some Environmental Issues Affecting Marine Mining

This article reviews information recently available from existing marine and coastal mining for responses to environmental issues affecting marine mining at different depths. It is particularly but not exclusively concerned with those issues affecting seabed biodiversity impact and recovery. Much information has been gathered in the past 10 years from shallow mining operations for construction aggregate, diamonds, and gold, from coastal mines discharging tailings to shallow and deep water, and from experimental deep mining tests. The responses to issues identified are summarized in a series of eight tables intended to facilitate site-specific consideration. Since impacts can spread widely in the surface mixing layer SML, and can affect the biologically productive euphotic zone, the main issues considered arise from the depth of mining relative to the SML of the sea. Where mining is below the SML, the issue is whether it is environmentally better to bring the extraction products to the surface vessel for processing (and waste discharge), or to process the extraction products as much as possible on the seabed. Responses to the issues need to be sitespecific, and dependent on adequate preoperational environmental impact and recovery prediction. For deep tailings disposal from a surface vessel, there are four important environmental unknowns: (1) the possible growth of "marine snow" (bacterial flocs) utilizing the enormous quantities of fine tailings particles (hundreds or thousands of metric tons per day) as nuclei for growth, (2) the possibility that local keystone plankton and nekton species may migrate diurnally down to and beyond the depth of deep discharge and hence be subjected to tailings impact at depth, (3) the burrow-up capability of deep benthos and their ability to survive high rates of tailings deposition, and (4) the pattern and rate of dispersion of a tailings density current through the deep water column from discharge point to seabed. Actions to obtain relevant information in general and site-specifically are suggested.     

Increased Particle Fluxes at the INDEX Site Attributable to Simulated Benthic Disturbance

Particle fluxes were measured 7 m above the sea bottom during the predisturbance, disturbance, and postdisturbance periods by using time series sediment traps attached to seven deep-sea moorings deployed in the INDEX experiment site in the Central Indian Basin. The predisturbance particle fluxes varied between 22.3 to 55.1 mg m -2 day -1 . Increased and variable particle fluxes were recorded by the sediment traps during the disturbance period. The increase observed was 0.5 to 4 times more than the background predisturbance fluxes. The increases in particle fluxes (~4 times) recorded by the sediment trap located in the southwestern direction (DMS-1) were the greatest, which could be the result of preferential movement of resuspended particles generated during the deep-sea benthic disturbance along the general current direction prevailing in this area during the experimental period. Also, the traps located closer to the disturbance area recorded greater fluxes than did the traps far away, across the Deep Sea Sediment Resuspension System path. This variability in recorded particle fluxes by the traps around the disturbance area clearly indicates that physical characteristics such as grain size and density of the resuspended particles produced during the disturbance had an important effect on particle movement. The postdisturbance measurements during ~5 days showed a reduction in particle fluxes of ~50%, indicating rapid particle settlement.     

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.     

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.     

Determination of In Situ Sediment Shear Strength from Advanced Piston Corer Pullout Forces

The advanced piston corer (APC) has been used by the Ocean Drilling Program since 1985 for recovering soft sediments from the ocean floor. The pullout force measured on extracting the core barrel from the sediment is shown to correlate with the average shear strength of the sediment core measured in the ship's laboratory. A simple rule of thumb is derived relating the shear strength of the sediment to the pullout force. Multiple APC holes at individual sites allow the consistency of the pullout measurements to be assessed. The effects of different operational procedures during APC coring are also explored. Although generally applicable, the correlation between pullout force and laboratory measurements of shear strength breaks down for some APC holes, possibly because of the disturbance of some sediment types during the APC coring process. A better understanding of the physical process of APC coring, and its effect on the properties of the sediment both inside and immediately outside the core barrel, would indicate what confidence can be put on the measurement of pullout force as a way of evaluating the in situ shear strength of deep sea sediments.
