梯级水坝胁迫下东江鱼类产卵场现状分析

东江作为珠江流域重要支流之一,是香港地区以及珠江三角洲东部地区重要水源.鱼类不仅是河流生态系统重要组成也是其健康状况的重要指示生物.目前东江已经修建了一系列水坝,基于东江河流生态系统健康维持和管理的需要,有必要了解河流中鱼类产卵场的现状.据此,2010年3-10月对东江古竹江段的鱼苗(卵)进行了连续采集,目前鱼苗种类已鉴定到26种(属),主要优势种类为鰕鯱(63.0%)、赤眼鳟(16.8%)、尼罗罗非鱼(9.7%)、大眼鳜(2.0%)等;调查期间古竹江段鱼苗(卵)径流量初步估算为11.4×108尾(颗),东江鱼类主要繁殖期为4-9月.与东江历史资料及西江江段鱼类繁殖现状相比较,东江鱼类产卵场功能极度退化,不仅鱼类产卵规模已明显下降,并且东江古竹江段鱼苗中洄游性种类缺失;本次调查证明东江龙川江段原有的四大家鱼产卵场已经消失;通过典范对应分析分析表明,东江江段鱼类产卵繁殖对水文生态因子的响应程度较低,说明东江江段水文节律受梯级水坝影响程度大,偏离了鱼类产卵繁殖的生态需求.尼罗罗非鱼在东江古竹江段有暴发性繁殖现象,东江已经面临外来种的严峻威胁,分析认为梯级水坝的修建是导致罗非鱼暴发性增长的主要原因之一.根据目前东江鱼类产卵场现状,建议把鲢、鳙及广东鲂列入增殖放流的品种目录,加强人工增殖放流;从贯通鱼类洄游通道及修复产卵场的需求上考虑,建议在东江各水坝上补建鱼类过鱼通道.     

东江中上游主要控制断面水质变化特征

根据2001-2007年东江干流中上游博罗站、河源站和龙川站的监测资料,采用季节性Kendall检验方法,对COD_(Mn)、BOD_5和NH_3-N等水质参数的浓度变化趋势进行分析,结果表明:(1)3个断面的BOD5浓度都旱高度显著上升趋势;(2)龙川断面COD_(Mn)和NH_3-N的浓度变化不显著,而河源和博罗断面COD_(Mn)的浓度呈显著下降趋势、NH_3-N浓度呈显著上升趋势;(3)中游主要控制断面水质变化速率大于上游;(4)水质变化受流量的影响相对较小,主要是由陆域污染物排放量的变化所引起的.     

Hydrological effects of water reservoirs on hydrological processes in the East River (China) basin: complexity evaluations based on the multi‐scale entropy analysis

Using the multi‐scale entropy analysis (MSE), we study the effects of water reservoirs on the river flow records based on long streamflow series covering January 1, 1954 and December 31, 2009 at four representative hydrological stations, i.e. the Longchuan, the Heyuan, the Lingxia and the Boluo stations. Hydrological effects of two major water reservoirs, the Xinfengjiang and the Fengshuba water reservoirs, are evaluated. The results indicate that: (1) before the construction of the water reservoirs, the complexity of the streamflow series comes to be decreasing from the upper to the lower East River and which should be attributed to the topographical properties and buffering effects of the river channel; (2) construction of water reservoirs greatly increases the complexity degree of the hydrological processes, and this influence is subjected to a damping process with the increase of distance between the water reservoirs and the hydrological stations; (3) power generation is the major function of the water reservoirs in the East River basin. The results of this study should be of theoretical and scientific merits in terms of conservation of the ecological environment and also water resources management under the influences of climate changes and intensifying human activities.
