氮、磷比对两种赤潮藻生长特性的影响及藻间竞争作用

研究了两种赤潮藻即假微型海链藻(Thalassiosira pseudonana Hasleet Heimdalh)和裸甲藻(Gymnodinium sp.)在不同氮磷比培养条件下的生长特性和藻间竞争作用,探讨了氮磷含量及其比值对赤潮爆发的影响机理.结果表明,在N/P=16条件下,假微型海链藻的最大比增长率最高、相对生长常数最大、平均倍增时间最短,叶绿素a含量最高,说明该N/P值是假微型海链藻最佳生长营养盐条件.对裸甲藻而言,N/P=6是其最佳生长的营养盐条件.叶绿素a含量受N/P值的影响和藻细胞密度所受的影响趋势基本一致.不同N/P值对藻间竞争作用和群落演替的总体影响不明显,都呈现先硅藻后甲藻的群落演替规律.裸甲藻可能具有利用体内磷来维持生长的特点.

Seasonal cycles and long-term trends of plankton in shelf and oceanic habitats of the Norwegian Sea in relation to environmental variables

The plankton abundance data of the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) route from Bergen or Rotterdam to Weather Station Mike (6444^′N, 2E) from 1949 to 1981 were analysed for long-term trends and seasonal production cycles, and were related to environmental data. The data were explored using the canonical correlation analysis and nonparametric techniques like the Nadaraya–Watson regression. While large copepods such as Calanus spp. and Metridia lucens did not show any temporal trends, a sharp decrease in the abundances of smaller copepods and phytoplankton was observed after 1960. The temporal trends were not related to the NAO, but did show a correlation with the wind direction. Seasonal abundance curves showed that production of both phytoplankton and zooplankton taxa started earlier in coastal water compared to Atlantic water. From the 1950s to the 1970s most taxa showed a delay in the start of the seasonal production cycles, indicating a reduction in the length of the productive cycle. This may to some extent explain the reduced abundance of smaller copepods, phytoplankton and other species during the 1960s and 1970s.     

Symbiosis between the holothurian Scotoplanes sp. A and the lithodid crab Neolithodes diomedeae on a featureless bathyal sediment plain

Vulnerability to predation may be high for many megafaunal taxa in deep‐sea sedimentary habitats where physical heterogeneity is low. During ROV observations in a bathyal sediment plain off Central California, juveniles of the lithodid crab Neolithodes diomedeae were frequently observed on or under the holothurian (sea cucumber) Scotoplanes sp. A, and are hypothesized to benefit from this association as a nursery or refugium from predation. Ninety‐six percent (n = 574 of 599) of the juvenile N. diomedeae observed (density varied from 0.02–0.75/m² among sites and seasons) in the study area were associated with Scotoplanes sp. A. Of the 2596 Scotoplanes sp. A observed (density varied from 0.48 to 25.90/m²), 22% were attended by at least one juvenile crab, and rarely two crabs (n = 4). Solitary N. diomedeae were rarely observed. This decapod–holothurian symbiosis appears to be largely commensal, with juvenile crabs (carapace width = 0.03–0.31 ×  holothurian length) observed on or beneath Scotoplanes sp. A in a habitat with few refugia from epibenthic predators. Other hypotheses may explain or enhance the potential benefits of the association for N. diomedeae, such as elevated food availability due to the activities of Scotoplanes sp. A. The relationship may be mutualistic if there is a benefit for the holothurian, including the removal of epizoic parasites. Ultimately, the nursery or other effects on the population dynamics of N. diomedeae may be minimal in low‐relief, sediment‐dominated habitats, as very few sub‐adult crabs were observed in the study area and were likely consumed upon outgrowing their refugia. While sedimentary habitats may be a sink for N. diomedeae populations, growth of juvenile crabs during their association with Scotoplanes sp. A should increase energy flow to its predator populations. This association has not been reported previously but may be expected in sediment‐dominated habitats where these species overlap.     

Nonlinear properties of laboratory wind waves at energy containing frequencies

Nonlinear properties of wind waves in a wind-wave tunnel are investigated by measuring the probability density distribution of surface elevation. The surface elevation distribution of raw records are found to have a positive skewness (K ₃=0.21 to 0.43) and a negative kurtosis (K ₄=–0.74 to –0.41) with magnitude depending of fetch and wind speed. The values of skewness are in qualitative agreement with a prediction of the weak interaction theory for a random wave field incorporating the effects of second harmonics (Tayfun, 1980), but the values of kurtosis are different in sign from the prediction.To examine the nonlinear properties of energy containing components, higher harmonic components are excluded from the wave records by using a kind of a band-pass filter. The surface elevation distributions of the filtered waves show a sharp decrease in skewness , but the distributions remain highly non-Gaussian with a large negative kurtosis almost independent of the fetch and wind speed . It is concluded that the negative kurtosis is due to the non-random character of the phase and amplitude among the energy containing components, and that nonlinear interactions occur amongst the energy containing frequencies.     

Ab initio investigations of the charge transport properties of endohedral M@C20 (M= Na and K) metallofullerenes

Using density functional theory and quantum transport calculations based on nonequilibum Green's function formalism, we investigate the charge transport properties of endohedral M@C₂₀ (M= Na and K) metallofullerenes. Our results show that the conductance of C₂₀ fullerene can be obviously improved by insertion of alkali atom at its centre. Both linear and nonlinear sections are found on the I-V curves of the Au-M@C₂₀-Au two-probe systems. The novel negative differential resistance behaviour is also observed in Na@C₂₀ molecule but not in K@C₂₀.     

不同氮、磷浓度及配比对铜藻(Sargassum horneri)幼苗生长的影响

采用铜藻(Sargassum horneri)幼苗为实验对象,分别以Na NO3和Na H2PO4为氮源和磷源,研究了不同氮磷质量浓度及氮磷配比对铜藻幼苗生长的影响。进行了氮、磷单因子实验、双因子实验以及不同氮磷配比实验,实验时间为8d。结果表明:氮和磷对铜藻幼苗生长影响极显著(P0.01),且当氮、磷的质量浓度分别为8mg/L、0.4mg/L时,铜藻幼苗的特定生长率最大;交互作用影响不显著(P0.05),不同质量浓度的氮为主效应;不同氮磷质量浓度比影响极显著(P0.01),且当氮磷比为10:1时,铜藻幼苗的特定生长率最大。研究结果为铜藻幼苗培育过程中营养盐的合理调控提供了理论依据。

不同氮磷比值下浒苔与石莼的竞争作用研究

近年来,海水富营养化导致近海海域大型海藻过量繁殖,成为世界性的环境问题。自2007年以来,浒苔绿潮在黄海海域连续暴发,造成巨大经济损失。为探究浒苔大规模暴发与氮磷比值(N/P)的关系,及其与其他大型绿藻在不同N/P下的竞争机制,研究了浒苔(Ulva prolifera)与石莼(Ulva lactuca)在不同N/P下单独培养和共培养时的生长情况,探究了浒苔及石莼生长的变化;结合苏北浅滩海域现场N/P的调查结果,分析了浒苔绿潮暴发的可能机制。研究结果表明:(1)浒苔单独培养时,在一定范围内高N/P能促进浒苔的生长,氮对于浒苔的影响大于磷。(2)石莼单独培养时,低N/P下石莼长势最好,但改变N/P对石莼的影响并不显著。(3)浒苔和石莼共培养时,浒苔生长受到了一定限制,低N/P下浒苔生长受限更显著。(4)苏北浅滩海域高N/P更适合浒苔的生长,可能是浒苔绿潮能够大规模暴发的原因之一。     

密度胁迫对卵形鲳鲹鱼苗运输水质、存活率、免疫酶活力和血清指标的影响

为了研究密度胁迫对卵形鲳鲹(Trachinotus ovatus)鱼苗运输水质、存活率、免疫酶活力和血清生化指标的影响,确定适宜的运输密度,为卵形鲳鲹鱼苗的科学运输提供参考依据。对卵形鲳鲹鱼苗(体长为5.36cm±0.60cm,质量为3.04g±0.71g)采用塑料袋密闭充氧运输方式,在3个不同运输密度下(D1=9 kg/m~3、D2=12 kg/m~3、D3=15 kg/m~3)模拟运输8 h,对比运输不同密度卵形鲳鲹鱼苗对运输水质、鱼苗存活率、肝脏免疫酶活力和血液生理生化指标的影响程度。结果表明, 3个密度组的卵形鲳鲹鱼苗的存活率均为100%,经运输后暂养72 h的存活率仍为100%。经塑料袋密闭充氧运输8 h后, 3个密度组的运输水体的DO含量无显著变化,运输水体温度(T)和pH值随运输密度的增加而降低, NH_4-N含量随运输密度的增加而上升,其中NH_4-N的含量显著高于对照组。肝脏组织中, D1、D2、D3的总超氧化物歧化酶(T-SOD)活力无显著差异(P0.05,下同),而高运输密度组(D3)对比对照组,两组的T-SOD活力变化存在显著差异(P0.05)。密度运输胁迫组乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)活力显著高于对照组水平,D2、D3无显著差异,显著差异于D1组。过氧化物酶(POD)活力D1、D2、D3组无显著差异,但均显著低于对照组。3组实验组的过氧化氢酶(CAT)活力均显著高于对照组且组间无显著差异。血清中, D1、D2组的CRE活力显著低于对照组,但D3组又显著高于对照组。D1、D2、D3的血清中皮质醇(COR)活力无显著差异,但显著高于对照组。D2、D3的葡萄糖(GLU)含量与对照组无显著差异, D1显著低于对照组。D1、D2、D3 3个运输密度组的谷丙转氨酶(GPT)与谷草转氨酶(GOT)活力均显著高于对照组。同时, D1与D2组的GPT活力显著低于于D3组,但GOT活力显著高于D3组。密度胁迫对卵形鲳鲹鱼苗的运输存活率无影响,但对运输其的水质、免疫酶活力及血清生化指标均有影响。在实际运输中,采用塑料袋密闭充氧运输,运输时间时长为8 h以内,运输密度设定为15 kg/m~3的卵形鲳鲹鱼苗为宜。     

A dynamic equation for the potential energy anomaly for analysing mixing and stratification in estuaries and coastal seas

In this paper, a time-dependent dynamic equation for the potential energy anomaly, , is rigorously derived from dynamic equations for potential temperature and salinity, the continuity equation and the equation of state for sea water. The terms locally changing are (A) the -advection, (B) the depth-mean straining, (C) the non-mean straining, (D) the vertical advection, (E) the vertical mixing, (F) surface and bottom density fluxes, (G) inner sources of density e.g. due to absorption of solar radiation and the non-linearity of the equation of state, and (H) horizontal divergence of horizontal turbulent density fluxes. In order to derive the equation in concise form, a vertical velocity (linearly varying with depth) with respect to depth-proportional vertical coordinates had to be defined. The evaluation of the terms in the -equation is then carried out for a one-dimensional tidal straining study and a two-dimensional estuarine circulation study. Comparisons to empirical estimates for these terms are made for the one-dimensional study. It is concluded that the -equation provides a general reference for empirical bulk parameterisations of stratification and mixing processes in estuaries and coastal seas and that it is a tool for complete analysis of the relevant terms from numerical models.     

Population Development of the DinoflagellatesCeratium furca andCeratium fusus during Spring and Early Summer in Iwa Harbor, Sagami Bay, Japan

To examine the population development of the dinoflagellates, Ceratium furca and Ceratium fusus, daily field monitoring was conducted between April and July 2003 in the temperate coastal water of Sagami Bay, Japan. During the study period, the concentrations of C. furca were always lower than those of C. fusus. A sharp increase in the densities of both species was recorded on 5 May showing the maximum cell concentrations (C. furca = 14,800 cells L^-1, C. fusus = 49,600 cells L^-1). In the 7 days prior to the May bloom of the Ceratium species (29 April to 1 May), the highest density of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans was observed. Additionally, a second bloom of C. fusus occurred on 22 July. Here, two causes of the significant increases in the Ceratium populations during the two blooming periods (first time; 1 to 8 May, second time; 15 to 22 July) are presented. First, an increase in the nutrients of the surface layer regenerated by the breakdown of blooms by N.scintillans could be considered as a major cause of the population increase of the two Ceratium species. Second, a decrease in salinity (to 27 psu) was correlated with the later bloom ofC. fusus. These results suggest that the population development of the two Ceratium species requires nutrients regenerated after the reduction of the diatom population byN. scintillans and, forC. fusus, continuous low salinity conditions, compared to other environmental factors during the rainy season. Key words: Ceratium furca; Ceratium fusus; Noctiluca scintillans; Bloom process; Environmental factor     

Closure to “anisotropic hydraulic conductivity and critical hydraulic gradient of a crushed sandstone–mudstone particle mixture”

A closure is presented to the discussion of Anisotropic hydraulic conductivity and critical hydraulic gradient of a crushed sandstone–mudstone particle mixture by Salahou, Jiao, and Yousif (2017 Fener, M., and N. Yesiller. 2013. Vertical pore structure profile of a compacted clayey soil. Engineering Geology 166:204–15. doi:10.1016/j.enggeo.2013.08.001.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). The relationship between the critical hydraulic gradient and the uniformity coefficient can be limited to two curves. The internal erosion mechanism of soils with different particle grade curves is different. The maximum diameter of fine particles of different particle grade curves can be calculated by a lot of methods. The density of the original paper is the average density. The anisotropic hydraulic conductivity is caused by uneven density distribution. The hydraulic conductivities are tested on the saturated soils. The saturated hydraulic conductivity can be regard as a constant value for a saturated soil.     

Growth and photosynthetic rates of Chlamydomonas plethora and Nitzschia frustula cultures isolated from Kuwait Bay, Arabian Gulf, and their potential as live algal food for tropical mariculture

With a view to utilize local algae as food organisms in mariculture, the green alga Chlamydomonas plethora and the diatom Nitzschia frustula were isolated and studied from the unique coastal waters arid zone off Kuwait. Batch cultures of C. plethora and N. frustula had maximum division rates (μ_max) of 2.5 and 3.4 day^?1, respectively. Cultures grown for 36 h yielded comparable growth rates. Photosynthesis‐irradiance relationships in cultures harvested at various phases of growth showed that cultures attained log phase after 1‐day growth and yielded the highest assimilation numbers (P: μg C [μg Chl a]^?1 h^?1): 22.8 for C. plethora and 18.1 for N. frustula. Their initial slopes (α^B: ng C [μg Chl a]^?1 h^?1 [μmol m^?2 s^?1]^?1 were also the highest observed so far: 79.5 for C. plethora and 39.6 for N. frustula. Photoinhibition was low. Compared with these, assimilation numbers in senescent cultures of 20‐day growth were <8% of the maximum for both species, and the initial slope decreased to 17 and 13% in C. plethora and N. frustula, respectively. Two polyunsaturated fatty acids (20:5n‐3 eicosapentaenoic acid and 22:6n‐3 docosahexaenoic acid) that are essential in many marine animal diets constituted up to 24% and 1.9% of the total fatty acids, respectively. Of the two algae, N. frustula contained higher levels of 16:1n‐7, 20:5n‐3 and comparatively low levels of 22:6n‐3 fatty acids. Due to its rapid growth, high photosynthetic rate and presence of the amino acids leucine, lysine, glutamic acid and arginine N. frustula has good potential as a feed organism in mariculture applications. The capacity of these algae to produce a wide range of size groups (nano and net plankton) is an additional bonus for mariculture operations.     

Three-dimensional instability of shear flows with inflection-free velocity profiles in stratified media with a high Prandtl number

In stably stratified media with a Prandtl number Pr ≫ 1, vertical scales of the density (ℓ) and horizontal velocity variation (L) are quite different, ℓ/L = O(Pr^−1/2) ≪ 1, and this influences the flow stability. In particular, shear flows without inflection points on the velocity profile are unstable even in an ideal incompressible fluid. The maximum instability growth rate for sufficiently small ℓ/L is of the same order as in homogeneous mixing layers, with mainly three-dimensional rather than two-dimensional oscillations increasing in a wide range of parameters. This paper focuses on the three-dimensional instability of such flows. It is shown that the spectrum of unstable oscillations is essentially anisotropic in the case of a relatively weak stratification when the bulk Richardson number J ≤ O[(ℓ/L)^3/2]. The results of the asymptotic analysis are illustrated by calculations for a model flow in a two-layer medium (ℓ = 0) as well as for flows with values of ℓ/L corresponding to a temperature or salinity stratification of the water.     

Silicate to Nitrate Ratio of the Upper Sub-Arctic Pacific and the Bering Sea Basin in Summer: Its Implication for Phytoplankton Dynamics

Consumption of silicate and nitrate (Si:N molar ratio) in the upper layer of the pelagic subarctic Pacific in summer was evaluated by a regression analysis of silicate vs. nitrate concentrations at the upper 100 m depth. Based on data of three cruises, the pelagic subarctic Pacific can be classified into two groups. First group is characterized by roughly 1:1 consumption of silicate and nitrate, and occupies rather larger area of subarcfic Pacific, i.e., the Gulf of Alaska and the Western Subarctic gyre (averaged slope of Si:N linear regression: 1.21, n = 10 and 1.45, n = 9, respectively). Second group is the regions of the Bering Sea basin and the Oyashio region, and showed higher silicate consumption compared to that of nitrate (averaged slope of Si:N linear regression: 2.14, n = 9 and 2.36, n = 3, respectively). The Si:N difference observed is possibly attributed to relative contribution of diatoms production among the phytoplankton assemblages in the regions, i.e., dominance of diatoms production in the regions of the second group. Higher accumulation of ammonium at the bottom of euphotic layer in the summer Bering Sea basin would also contribute to increase consumption ratio of Si:N amounts.     

Thermal constraints on the respiration and excretion rates of krill,Euphausia hanseni and Nematoscelis megalops,in the northern Benguela upwelling system off Namibia

Rates of respiration and ammonia excretion of Euphausia hanseni and Nematoscelis megalops were determined experimentally at four temperatures representative of conditions encountered by these euphausiid species in the northern Benguela upwelling environment. The respiration rate increased from 7.7 µmol O₂ h^?1 g_ww ^?1 at 5 °C to 18.1 µmol O₂ h^?1 g_ww ^?1 at 20 °C in E. hanseni and from 7.0 µmol O₂ h^?1 g_ww ^?1 (5 °C) to 23.4 µmol O₂ h^?1 g_ww ^?1 (20 °C) in N. megalops. The impact of temperature on oxygen uptake of the two species differed significantly. Nematoscelis megalops showed thermal adaptations to temperatures between 5 °C and 10 °C (Q₁₀ = 1.9) and metabolic constraint was evident at higher temperatures (Q₁₀ = 2.6). In contrast, E. hanseni showed adaptations to temperatures of 10–20 °C (Q₁₀ = 1.5) and experienced metabolic depression below 10 °C (Q₁₀ = 2.6). Proteins were predominantly metabolised by E. hanseni in contrast to lipids by N. megalops. Carbon demand of N. megalops between 5 and 15 °C was lower than in E. hanseni versus equal food requirements at 20 °C. It is concluded that the two species display different physiological adaptations, based on their respective temperature adaptations, which are mirrored in their differential vertical positioning in the water column.     

Additional flux arising from unresolved scales in eddying ocean models

An analysis is presented of snapshot data (eastward and northward velocity components: u and v; tracer such as potential temperature: τ) from an eddy-resolving (Rgrid: 1/12°) ocean model experiment, in order to explore a method for improving eddy-permitting model performance. Horizontal 3 × 3 R-grid averages give the eddy-permitting grid (P-grid: 1/4°) variables: 〈u〉, 〈v〉, and 〈τ〉, where 〈〉 denotes the spatial P-grid scale average. The difference between the horizontal tracer flux across the boundary face of a P-grid and that across the corresponding faces of R-grids is estimated as F_2E. It is found that the correlations among the gradients of u, v, and τ give a good approximation F_2C to the estimated flux F_2E. The approximated flux is a function of these gradients and the grid size. A method is presented for implementing the F_2C for density to an eddying ocean model as an additional advection. Practical experiments were conducted with a realistic configuration. It is shown that the zonal mean isotherms in the Kuroshio extension region are more flattened in the run using the proposed method than in another run using the conventional horizontal biharmonic operator, suggesting that the additional flux correction leads to an enhancement of sub-basin scale mixing.
