The effects of sewage discharge on water quality and phytoplankton of Hawai'ian coastal waters

The effects of sewage discharge on algal populations and the quality of Hawai'ian coastal waters were investigated. Two outfalls were studied. One discharges primary treated sewage and the other discharges secondary treated sewage but are otherwise similar. This enabled comparisons of the effects of these different levels of treatment on the water quality and algal productivity of receiving waters. Plumes were followed and repeatedly sampled in a time-series manner. Rhodamine dye was used as a conservative tracer to compare the dilution behavior of the plume constituents MRP, NO(3)+NO(2), NH(4), Silicate, TDP, TDN, total bacteria, PC, and PN. Rates of initial dilution ranged from two to almost three orders of magnitude, and were in reasonable agreement with engineering model predictions. Dilution of plume constituents approximated that of Rhodamine until background concentrations were reached, typically within 10 min of discharge. Chl a concentrations did not increase through time in the primary sewage plume but did increase up to 30% in the secondary sewage plume. However, rates of far-field dilution were so rapid that the increase could not have been due to algal growth. The increase was attributed to the plume mixing with a water mass whose relative chl a concentrations were greater. Rates of secondary dilution ranged from 2 to 3 orders of magnitude resulting in total dilutions of 10(5)-10(6) within 3 h of discharge. These rates of secondary dilution were much greater than model predictions. From a nutrient standpoint, secondary treatment exhibited no advantages over primary treatment because dilutions were so rapid.     

Selective transmission of light in the ocean waters and its relation to phytoplankton photosynthesis

Occurrence of the depth differences in pigment composition and photosynthetic properties of marine phytoplankton were examined in relation to the spectral changes of light with depth. Phytoplankton were taken from various depths in the northwestern North Pacific, and their absorption spectra were determined with intact cells and in 90% acetone extract. The photosynthetic activities of phytoplankton were concurrently measured under blue, green, red and white light. The difference in absorption spectra for the surface and deeper samples was considerably small, indicating that the prevailing green or blue light in the deeper layers may have little significance for depth-variations of the pigment composition in marine phytoplankton. The depth differentiation in the shape of the light-photosynthesis curve was marked in a well stratified water column but no active response of deeper phytoplankton to green light could be confirmed. The photosynthetic efficiencies of phytoplankton for blue and green light were approximately 105–115 % and 80–90 % of white light, respectively, irrespective of sampling depth.Contribution No. 261 from Shimoda Marine Biological Station     

Eddy activity in the lee of the Hawaiian Islands

Persistent northeasterly trade winds have a substantial impact on the oceanic circulation around the Hawaiian Islands. A regional ocean model is applied to understand the effect of different temporal and spatial resolutions of surface momentum forcing on the formation of strong mesoscale vortices and on the simulation of realistic levels of eddy kinetic energy. The higher spatial and temporal resolutions of wind forcing is shown to substantially affect the vorticity and deformation field in the immediate lee of the Hawaiian Islands and produce patterns of eddy kinetic energy similar to observations. This suggests that the surface eddy field in the region is mostly dominated by the local surface momentum forcing. Mesoscale cyclones and anticyclones formed in the lee of the Island of Hawaii are shown to have different propagation patterns. Mesoscale cyclones are more confined to the lee and are hence subject to interactions with the strong wind forcing and deformation field as well as smaller vortices formed in the wake of the other islands. Mesoscale anticyclones show not only a tendency to propagate further westward, but also to persist as coherent features as they propagate, even at relatively lower values of relative vorticity. The large strain rates that affect the propagation of the cyclones cause them to break down into filaments of positive vorticity. Rossby numbers of O(1) within vortices and filaments indicate that nonlinear interactions between the wind stress and the vertical component of the relative vorticity field is potentially important in producing large vertical velocities. Modeled cyclonic eddies show a good resemblance to observations both in terms of vertical structure and propagation patterns.     

Effects of thermal pollution on the soft-bottoms surrounding a power station in the Canary Islands (NE Atlantic ocean)

The spatial and temporal effects of hot seawater (60–70°C) from a power station on nearby soft-bottom communities were analyzed in the protected area “Sebadales del sur de Tenerife” (SE coast of Tenerife, Canary Islands, NE Atlantic Ocean). The samples were taken during summer 2003 and winter 2004 from 12 to 20 m depth. The highest macrofaunal abundance and species diversity were found in the turbines. A specific community, characterized by the polychaetes Aponuphis bilineata and sabellids of the genus Chone and the amphipod Photis longicaudata, inhabited the surroundings of the power station turbines. Permanent current from sea effluent had majok impact over the macrofaunal community structure of the neighbouring bottom where no measurable responses to thermal disturbance were detected.     

厦门海域营养盐含量和比率变化及其对浮游植物群落的影响

于2010年8月和10月对厦门海域营养盐和浮游植物等开展了两个航次的调查,目的在于研究该海域营养盐含量和比率变化及其对水采浮游植物群落的影响.各化学和生物要素的采集、保存和分析按照《海洋调查规范》或《海洋监测规范》的相关方法进行.研究结果表明,厦门海域浮游植物生长的营养盐限制性因子与1998年的研究结果比较,依然为PO4-P,而SiO3-Si含量和DIN含量相对充足.各项营养盐含量与盐度都有较明显的负相关性,其中保守性最明显的是DIN,而PO4-P与盐度的相关性相对最低.此外,8月份鉴定到的甲藻门种类和生物量明显高于10月份.本文认为,目前厦门海域营养盐比率变化的主要压力为N/P摩尔比率失衡.随着人为输入氮源的增加,在富氮的九龙江口及其邻近海域,极易发生中肋骨条藻赤潮,该藻的生物量与NO3-N和SiO3-Si含量的相关性十分明显.研究发现,厦门甲藻/硅藻生物量的比值与NO3-N和N/P摩尔比率有一定的正相关性,可能预示着该海域无机氮含量的增加及其引起的N/P摩尔比率增大会促进甲藻门种类的生长.并且浮游植物Shannon生物多样性指数可作为反映厦门海域富营养化较好的生物指标.     

The economic impacts of banning commercial bottomfish fishing in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands

This study examines the economic impacts of closing the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands bottomfish fishery, as part of a larger effort to create an effective marine protected area. An overview of the market for NWHI bottomfish in Hawaii is given using input–output data and a fishery closure analysis is conducted using public data on commercial fishing and primary information collected through interviews with wholesalers, restaurants, and retailers. Assuming the worst-case scenario, the wholesale price per pound of Onaga and Opakapaka is estimated to increase by $0.80 and $0.42, respectively. But this is unlikely, as the own-price elasticity of demand for Hawaii-caught bottomfish is found to be highly elastic and there is widespread substitution with imports. The overall economic loss is thus quite small, while the environmental gains of creating the largest marine protected area in the world could be substantial.

海洋酸化对浮游植物生理生态影响的研究进展

当前全球气候变化下的上层海洋变暖与酸化对以浮游植物为主的海洋生态系产生了重大影响,理解此背景下的海洋浮游植物生理生态响应,对我们理解和抑制全球气候变化具有重要意义。在全球大气二氧化碳分压(p CO2)升高情景下,浮游植物通过光合作用、微生物循环等过程,通过不同功能群对海洋生源要素循环模式的改变,进而影响区域及全球海洋的生物地球化学循环。研究全球浮游植物对海洋酸化生理生态的响应使得我们对生物地球化学系统的认识更加全面、系统。     

海洋浮游植物薄层的研究进展

浮游植物薄层是指位于水体次表层、厚度从几厘米到几米的高丰度浮游植物分布层。与大洋相比,在河口、海湾和近海的浮游植物薄层往往分布浅、强度大,具有明显的时空变化。浮游植物薄层的形成和维持不仅受到层化、楔入、剪切等物理过程的调控,也与浮游植物的生长、聚集及浮游动物的差异化捕食等生物生态学过程有关,目前围绕浮游植物薄层的形成机制已提出了趋旋俘获等假说。浮游植物薄层对其生长、繁殖、防御等具有重要意义,有的浮游植物薄层聚集了大量的有毒有害藻,与有害藻华的发生关系密切。深入研究浮游植物薄层的成因,将为阐明有害藻华的发生机制和有效监测提供重要依据。

A simple fractionation method for determination of phosphorus components in phytoplankton: Application to natural populations of phytoplankton in summer surface waters of Tokyo Bay

A simple procedure for fractionation of phosphorus components in natural populations of phytoplankton has been developed. By a combination of a trichloroacetic acid (TCA) extraction, a hot dilute acid treatment, a charcoal treatment and an organic solvent extraction, cellular phosphorus was divided into orthophosphate, nucleotide phosphorus, sugar phosphates, acid-soluble polyphosphates, lipid phosphorus, nucleic acid phosphorus, acid-insoluble polyphosphates, and residual phosphorus. The recovery of phosphorus was 94±5%. This technique was applied to natural populations of phytoplankton in summer surface waters of Tokyo Bay. Nucleic acid phosphorus and orthophosphate were most abundant, and accounted for 30 to 50% of total phytoplankton phosphorus. The nucleic acid phosphorus was proportional to the biomass of phytoplankton, irrespective of ambient nutrient concentrations. The orthophosphate showed the largest change in association with the change in cellular phosphorus content as well as in ambient phosphate. The orthophosphate serves as a phosphorus reserve in the natural populations of phytoplankton in summer surface waters of Tokyo Bay whereSkeletonema costatum was dominant. Acid-insoluble polyphosphates tended to increase when ambient concentration of phosphate was high, but their amounts were almost one order of magnitude lower than that of orthophosphate.     

The impact of mesoscale eddies on plankton dynamics in the upper ocean

A coupled QuasiGeostrophic mixed-layer ECOsystem model (QGECO) is used to investigate the impact of the underlying mesoscale eddy field on the spatial and temporal scales of biological production and on overall rates of primary productivity. The model exhibits temporal trends in the biological and physical fields similar to those observed in the North Atlantic; i.e. the mixed layer shallows in spring causing a rapid increase in phytoplankton concentrations and a corresponding decline in nutrient levels. Heterogeneity is produced in the mixed layer through Ekman pumping velocities resulting from the interaction of windstress and surface currents. This variability impacts on biological production in two ways. Firstly, spatial variations in the depth of the mixed layer affect the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) availability and hence production rates, and secondly, eddy enhanced exchange between the surface water and those at depth bring additional nutrients into the euphotic zone. These processes result in significant spatial and temporal heterogeneity in the ecosystem distributions.Investigation of the spatial heterogeneity of the biological system finds variability to be significantly greater than that of the mixed layer. The relationship between the eddy field and the ecosystem is investigated. The structure and correlation of the biogeochernical fields change with time. The biological fields are found to have a shorter horizontal scale, but whiter spectrum than the underlying eddy field.Overwinter conditions are found to have a profound effect on the variability, size and timing of the following spring bloom event. Variations in the nitrate levels are primarily responsible for the variability in the biological system in the first year. In subsequent years the variation in the overwintering population is found to be dominant.     

Sessile animals on tar globules in the waters around the Ryukyu Islands

A large number of tar globules with sessile organisms were collected from the surface tows taken with larval nets in the waters around the Ryukyu Islands during November and December, 1973. Bryozoans (one species), tubeworms (Serpulidae,Janua (Dexiospira) foraminosa (Moore &Bush)) and goose barnacles (Lepas pectinata Spengler,L. anatifera Linné) were the most important species of sessile animals found on these tar globules. Sinking of tar globules byLepas of middle or large size was suggested from the differences in their specific gravity.     

表面波浪对海洋上层混合的作用

A new three-dimensional numerical model is derived through a wave average on the primitive N-S equations, in which both the＂Coriolis-Stokes forcing＂ and the＂Stokes-Vortex force＂ are considered. Three ideal experiments are run using the new model applied to the Princeton ocean model （POM）. Numerical results show that surface waves play an important role on the mixing of the upper ocean. The mixed layer is enhanced when wave effect is considered in conjunction with small Langmuir numbers. Both surface wave breaking and Stokes production can strengthen the turbulent mixing near the surface. However, the influence of wave breaking is limited to a thin layer, but Stokes drift can affect the whole mixed layer. Furthermore, the vertical mixing coefficients clearly rise in the mixed layer, and the upper ocean mixed layer is deepened especially in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current when the model is applied to global simulations. It indicates that the surface gravity waves are indispensable in enhancing the mixing in the upper ocean, and should be accounted for in ocean general circulation models.     

秦山核电站邻近水域浮游植物的研究

1989年4月(春)、7月(夏)、10月(秋)和1990年1月(冬)四个季度月,对秦山核电站邻近水域23个测站的浮游植物进行了生态调查研究。共鉴定浮游植物145种(包括变种和变型),其中硅藻类44属138种,甲藻类2属2种,蓝藻类1属2种,绿藻类1属3种。在这些种类中,海水种72种,半咸水种47种,淡水种26种。测区四季均占优势的种类有中肋骨条藻、琼氏圆筛藻、蛇目圆筛藻和星脐圆筛藻等。浮游植物细胞密度以秋季最高,平均为2587×10~3个/m~3,其次为冬、春两季,平均密度分别为2209×10~3个/m~3和2117×10~3个/m~3;夏季平均密度相对较低,为1047m×10~3个/m~3。测区营养盐含量丰富,通常不成为浮游植物繁殖生长的限制因子。浮游植物的种类组成、数量分布和群落结构的变化,主要取决于降雨、光照等气象条件和海流、温盐等水文化学条件的变化。     

The 1980/1981 phytoplankton cycle in the coastal waters off Connemara,Ireland

The results of a phytoplankton survey conducted in coastal waters off western Ireland in 1980/1981 are reported. Surface values of temperature, salinity, NO₃N, PO₄P, Si, total N, total P and chlorophyll a (Chla) collected at 6 stations during 14 cruises are presented along with the species composition of the net phytoplankton.The spring bloom occurred in late April and was dominated by diatoms. Between April and July further diatom blooms occurred. In July and August dinoflagellates were dominant. This change was associated with the stratification of offshore water and low concentrations of Chla and nutrients. In Autumn large blooms of Ceratium tripos were found; it is suggested that the cause was heavy freshwater runoff. In autumn and winter some warm water oceanic species (e.g. Oxytoxum scolopax) occurred.     

南沙群岛海域鱼类群落结构的季节性变化研究

根据2006年在南沙群岛海域生产的445艘渔船的渔捞日志,分析了该海域的鱼类群落的四季变化特征.四季全部调查海域中出现的优势种类有8种:鲷Sparidae、鲹Carangidae、带鱼Trichiurus haumela、金线鱼Nemipterus virgatas、蛇鲻Saurida elongate、条尾绯鲤Clupea harengus、金色小沙丁Sardinella和马鲛Scomberomorus,其中鲷、金线鱼和带鱼是常年优势种.南沙群岛3个海域4个季节的Simpson指数(D)从南到北呈上升趋势,Shannon-Wiener多样性指数(H')变化范围在2.5-4.5之间,Pielou均匀度指数(J')季节变化不明显.南沙3个海域4个季节的鱼类群落之间的相似性较低,南沙中部海域4个季节的鱼类群落空间距离相对较远,鱼种季节迁移变化以南沙南部海域波动最大,南沙中部海域相对较为稳定,南沙北部海域稳定性介于两者之间.     

Spatio-temporal variability in faunal assemblages surrounding the discharge of secondary treated sewage

Macrofaunal assemblages inhabiting the intertidal zone surrounding an input of secondary treated effluent were sampled in order to determine how the pollution impact varied temporally and spatially. Assemblages varied along the pollution gradient formed by the Bolivar Wastewater Treatment Plant outfall in Gulf St Vincent, South Australia. While the abundance of some species did not vary, the abundance of juvenile western king prawns (Melicertus latisulcatus) and blue crabs (Portunus pelagicus) progressively decreased with proximity to the outfall. Species richness and diversity also decreased towards the outfall. An increase in nutrient content in the water adjacent to the outfall is likely to explain these changes. At distances of 4 and 5 km away, species diversity increased and the abundance of M. latisulcatus decreased, possibly due to a change in habitat from sand to seagrass. The occurrence of a storm prior to sampling on one occasion masked the effects of pollution and habitat changes. The results of this study suggest that the disposal of treated effluent into Gulf St Vincent is having a localised effect on the faunal assemblages surrounding the discharge point.
