Analysis on the indicator species and ecological groups of pelagic ostracods in the East China Sea

Ecological adaptation and ecological groups of pelagic ostracods were examined in the East China Sea （23°30′-33°00′N, 118°30′ -128°00′E）, in relation to temperature and salinity. The data were collected in four surveys conducted from 1997 to 2000. The density, yield density, or negative exponent models were used to determine the optimal temperature and salinity of water for the thriving growth of pelagic ostracods. Thereafter, ecological groups and potential distribution patterns of pelagic ostracods were determined based on the predicted parameters such as optimal temperature and salinity, consulting the geographic distribution. The analytical results indicate that, among the numerical dominant pelagic ostracods in the East China Sea （ECS）, Euconchoecia aculeata, E. elongata, E. chierchiae, E. maimai, and Cypridina dentata, etc. are offshore subtropical water species. These species are widely distributed in the area, and they can be brought by the warm current to north offshore during spring and winter. The predicated optimal temperature （OT） and optimal salinity （OS） for Paraconchoecia decipiens, P. echinata, P. spini- fera, P. oblonga, Conchoecia magna and Porroeciaporrecta are all greater than 25℃ and 34 separately. These species are mainly distributed in the waters of the Kuroshio, the Taiwan Warm Current, and the Taiwan Strait, and therefore are designated as ocean- ic tropical water species. On the other hand, Pseudoconchoecia concerttrica is considered as offshore subtropical water species based on its geographical distribution although its OT is 19℃. The other species, though their OSs are approximately 34 and with OTs ranging from 20° to 25℃, are considered as offshore subtropical water species because they were found to be widely distributed from the South China Sea to the East China Sea.

Seasonal distribution of Calanus sinicus (Copepoda, Crustacea) in the East China Sea

On the basis of the four-season investigation in 23°30′~33°N and 118°30′~128°E of the East China Sea from 1997 to 2000, the seasonal distribution of Calanus sinicus was studied with aggregation intensity, regression contribution and other statistical methods. It was inferred that C. sinicus’s predominance presented from winter to summer, especially in spring and summer, because its dominance amounted to 0.62 and 0.29 respectively. The percent of its abundance in copepod abundance was 76.71% in summer, greater than 66.60% in spring, greater than 19.02% in winter, greater than 4.02% in autumn. The occurrence frequency in winter and spring was 83.08% and 93.89%, higher than that in summer and autumn, 76.71% and 73.87%. Compared with other dominant species of copepods, C. sinicus’s contribution to the copepod abundance was obviously greater than that of the other species in winter, summer and spring, but smaller in autumn. C. sinicus tended to have an aggregated distribution. The clumping index peaked in summer (50.19), followed in spring (19.60), declined in autumn (13.18) and was the lowest in winter (3.04). The abundance changed in different seasons and areas, relating to temperature but not salinity in spring and autumn, to salinity but not temperature in summer; to neither temperature nor salinity in winter. In spring and summer, its high abundance area was often located in the mixed water mass formed by the Taiwan Warm Current, the Huanghai Sea Cold Water Mass, the coastal water masses and the Changjiang Dilute Water. In spring and autumn, its abundance was affected by the warm current, as well as the runoff from continental rivers affected it in summer. It can be inferred that C. sinicus was adapted to wide salinity and temperature, as a euryhalinous and eurythermous species in the East China Sea.     

东海浮游介形类生态适应分析

根据1997~2000年东海23°30'~33°N,118°30'~128°E海域4个季节海洋调查资料,用浮游介形类物种丰度和同步表层温、盐度数据进行曲线拟合,构造数学模型,计算介形类分布最适温度和盐度值,并参考其地理分布和生态适应特征分析,确定东海浮游介形类主要物种的生态类型.结果表明:在浮游介形类优势种中,后圆真浮萤(Euconchoecia maimai)、短棒真浮萤(E.Chierchiae)、针刺真浮萤(E.aculeata)、细长真浮萤(E.elongata)和齿形海萤(Cypridina dentata)等为亚热带外海种.这些种具有广泛的分布,如果冬、春季在较低水温出现,与东海北部外海暖流带入有密切的关系.腹突拟浮萤(Paraconchoecia decipiens)、猬刺拟浮萤(P.echinata)、棘刺拟浮莹(P.spinifera)、长拟浮萤(P.oblonga)、大浮萤(Conchoecia magna)和葱萤(Porroecia porrecta)等是热带大洋种,这些种主要分布在黑潮暖流、台湾暖流和台湾海峡水域.同心假浮萤(Pseudocon-choecia concentrica)和Paraconchoecia sp.最适温度较低,但地理分布特征显示前者是亚热带外海种,后者是暖温带外海种.所提到介形类其他物种最适盐度大多超过34,但最适温度在15~20℃之间.依据有关文献,这些种在我国从东海到南沙海域都有分布,分布虽广但数量稀少,难有证据表明这些种分布与暖流有密切的关系,是亚热带外海种.

东、黄海2000年冬季底层鱼类群落结构及其多样性

根据2000年12月～2001年1月东、黄海冬季底层鱼类资源调查资料,分析了该海域的鱼类群落结构。本次调查共捕获鱼类4716.72kg,395796尾,138种。其中,暖水种(WW)居第1位,有81种,占60.00%;暖温种(WT)次之,有53种,占39.26%;冷温种(CT)最少,只有1种,占0.74%。全调查海域的优势种(相对重要性指数QIRI大于500)有5种:带鱼、黄鲫、发光鲷、小黄鱼和鳀;与历史资料相比,优势种个体变小、有被小型鱼类更替的趋势。以质量计算的多样性指数(种类丰富度指数D,Shannon-Wiener多样度指数H′W,种类均匀度指数J′W)呈现由北至南逐渐递增的趋势,而以尾数计算的多样性指数(H′N,J′N)呈现东海北部最高,东海中部次之,黄海南部最低的趋势。生物多样性指数中除种类丰富度指数(D)与水深、海水表温、表层盐度都呈显著性正相关外,而其它生物多样性指数与前述3种环境因子之间的相关性都不显著。单因素方差分析表明,东海北部和中部渔获组成和生物多样性指数都无显著性差别。     

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。     

长江口及邻近海域浮游端足类分布特征

根据2002—2003年长江口28°00'~32°00'N,122°00'~123°30'E海域4个季节的海洋调查数据,运用定量、定性方法探讨了长江口及邻近海域浮游端足类总丰度的平面分布、季节变化及与渔场的关系,分析了优势种的数量变动和对浮游端足类总丰度的贡献,并与东海外海种类的生态特征做了比较。结果表明,长江口及邻近海域浮游端足类丰度季节变化主要受温度的影响,而平面分布变化则与盐度相关。平均丰度在夏季最高(2.75个/m3),在冬季最低(0.10个/m3)。本次调查共发现浮游端足类49种,江湖独眼钩虾(Monoculodes limnophilus)和裂颏蛮(Lestrigonus schizogeneios)是最主要的优势种,江湖独眼钩虾在四季中对端足类总丰度都有很大贡献,在春秋冬三季为第一优势种,说明江湖独眼钩虾对相对较低的温度具有一定的适应能力,裂颏蛮则只在春夏秋季有较大贡献,其中夏季裂颏蛮贡献率为0.87,高于江湖独眼钩虾,这与裂颏蛮具有较高温度的环境适应能力有关。浮游端足类种类数与总丰度都与表层温度的线性相关显著,同表层盐度的相关不显著。作为长江口鱼类的重要饵料之一,浮游端足类的数量分布对长江口和舟山海域渔场的形成有重要的意义。     

Two drifting paths of Sargassum bloom in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea during 2019-2020

The macroalgal blooms of floating brown algae Sargassum horneri are increasing in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea during the past few years. However, the annual pattern of Sargassum bloom is not well characterized. To study the developing pattern and explore the impacts from hydro-meteorologic environment, high resolution satellite imageries were used to monitor the distribution, coverage and drifting of the pelagic Sargassum rafts in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea from September 2019 to Au...     

Species composition,diversity and density of plagic Ostracoda in the East China Sea

On the basis of seasonal investigations at 23°30'~33°00'N,118°30'~128°00'E of the East China Sea during 1997~2000,dynamics on the density and diversity of Ostracoda was discussed.Results showed that totally 26 species were identified.The Ostracoda diversity was opposite to the change of its density in most seasons which reflected an uneven assignment of Ostracoda density among its different species.The Ostracoda density was 0.70 ind./m3 in spring,1.72 ind./m3 in summer,2.57 ind./m3 in autumn and 0.90 ind./m3 in winter.Euconchoecia chierchiae in spring and winter,Euconchoecia maimai in summer and Cypridina dentata in autumn were main dominant species in each season.The Ostracoda density did not show an obvious linear relationship with the hydrologic factors in summer and autumn,but was related to the surface salinity in spring and the surface temperature in winter.Its high density areas mainly distributed in the north offshore in all the seasons while in the south offshore in winter and in spring,and the south nearshore in summer and autumn,implied the zooplankton was a typical warm water animal,whose high density distribution in autumn were located in a similar position to Todarodes pacificus,Navodon Septentrionalis,Scomber japonicus and other fishes in the sea,so as to be an important indicator for fishing ground.The main species dominating in Ostracoda now are different from the species twenty years ago probably attributes to global warming.     

东海中南部鱼类群聚结构的空间特征

依据1997～2000年东海中南部(25°30'～29°00'N,120°30'～127°00'E)四个季节的底拖网调查资料,运用聚类分析和非度量多维标度(NMDS)的方法分析了东海中南部鱼类群聚结构的空间特征,结果显示,东海中南部鱼类群聚大致可分为近海群聚和外海群聚.在不同季节两个群聚的种类组成保持了相对的稳定,并且具有一定的持续性.近海群聚的特征种类为带鱼、发光鲷等.外海群聚的特征种类主要为黄鳍马面鲀、短尾大眼鲷、黄鲷等.鱼类群聚与环境因子水深有较好的相关关系.

本文根据2004～2006年闽东沿岸（26°30′00″～27°10′00″N,119°59′40″～120°33′00″E）暖水季节6个航次的浮游动物调查资料,比较分析研究了调查区暖水季节的浮游动物种类组成、数量分布和优势种变化．3年调查结果表明,该海域出现的浮游动物种类数分别为151、127和144种,种类组成变化不大,强额孔雀哲水蚤（Pavocalanus crassirostri）、小拟哲水蚤（Paracalanus parvus）等在各航次中都占据明显优势地位;调查期间该海域的浮游动物群落面貌以近岸暖水种和外海热带种为主,这两类生态类群的浮游动物构成本海区的主要优势类群;生物量分布不均匀,总体平面分布趋势是：北高南低,从沿岸到近海,浮游动物生物量随盐度上升而下降;优势种分布极不均匀,聚块现象明显．     

Occurrence characteristics of chaetognath species along the PM transect in the Japan sea during 1972–2002

A long-term variation in dominant species of chaetognaths in the Tsushima Warm Current was analyzed using samples collected four times a year from 1972 to 2002 by the Maizuru Marine Observatory along the PM transect in the Japan Sea. Of 19 occurring species, 13 subtropical species formed a major portion of the standing stock. Species richness in the study area was similar to that in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Four species, Sagitta minima, S. nagae, S. enflata, S. elegans dominated in the upper 150 m water column. The most dominant species per season were S. minima in both winter and autumn, S. elegans in spring and S. nagae in summer. Water temperature and salinity ranges of the most frequent occurrence for three dominant species revealed a common tendency in the order of S. nagae > S. minima > S. enflata towards colder temperature and higher salinity. Inter-annual abundance of chaetognath species fluctuated proportionally in response to the warm or cool phases in water temperature. Water temperature was a fundamental factor in regulating distributional occurrence, being more decisive than salinity. Changes of both dominant species and species numbers in relation to the reduced abundance during winter to spring and the subsequent increase during summer to autumn might be caused by specific differences in optimum temperature. Chaetognath species are important as an indicator of water masses and significant for our understanding of changes and evaluations of the Japan Sea ecosystem.     

东亚冬季气温的年际变化特征及其与海温和海冰异常的关系

通过谐波分析的方法,对东亚31个冬季(1980—2010年)的气温提取年际变化分量(周期小于8a部分)进行EOF分析。结果发现:在年际变化的时间尺度上,东亚冬季气温表现为高纬模态和低纬模态2个主要模态,它们一起可以解释总方差73%的变化。进一步分析表明,在年际变化尺度上,与气温变化的高纬模态相联系的大气环流表现为显著的北极涛动(AO)负位相分布,海平面气压场上西伯利亚高压和阿留申低压北移,对流层中层东亚大槽西移,高层西风急流向西北方向移动;副热带北太平洋和阿拉斯加湾的海表面温度(SST)变化呈偶极子振荡分布,这种准两年的周期振荡对这一模态的出现有一定的预示意义。而与气温变化的低纬模态相联系的大气环流表现为类AO正位相分布,与之相关的西伯利亚高压和阿留申低压南移,对流层中层东亚大槽东移,高层的西风急流则是向东南方向移动;赤道东太平洋的SST异常可能对这一模态的形成有一定的作用,而东亚近海的SST则更多是被动地改变。此外,海冰异常变化与东亚冬季气温变化的联系主要体现在:在前夏和前秋,东西伯利亚海-波弗特海海冰异常减少(增加)对应着随后东亚冬季气温变化的高纬模态(低纬模态),而冬季东亚气温变化的高纬模态(低纬模态)又与后期春季北极东半球的海冰异常增加(减少)具有较好的相关性,此外白令海和鄂霍次克海的海冰异常变化是伴随东亚冬季气温变化产生的。     

DISTRIBUTION OF DIATOMS IN CONTINENTAL SHELF OF THE EAST CHINA SEA

From the continental shelf of the East China Sea, we have collected and recorded 157 taxa of planktonic diatoms, of which 57 are tropical species, 20 temperate species, 73 widely distributed species and 7 remain to be further investigated for their habitats. Chaetoceros peruvianus f. robusta, Chaet. setoenis, Rhizosolenia alata f. curvirostris and Triceratium campeachlanum are four species recorded for the first time in China.The diatoms flora in the present region is mainly warm-water in nature and is very much similar to that in the South China Sea but differs greatly from that in the Huanghai Sea. Gossle-riella tropica (30°00′ - 32°00′ N, 127°20′ - 128°30′E) and other warm-water floras are present in the waters due to the effect of the Tsushima Warm Current.     

东海北部陆架区温、盐度逆转现象的分析

东海陆架区的温、盐度逆转现象,有关研究已作了一些论述(苏育嵩等,1989;蓝淑芳等,1984; Nakao,1977),指出东海陆架区存在两个温、盐度逆转结构出现频率高的海区：一个位于江苏、浙江近海的狭长海区内;另一个位于东海北部济州岛西南海区,即东海北部底层冷水及其附近海域(蓝淑芳等,1993)。翁学传(1984)、曹欣中等(1982)利用常规调查资料,曾分别对第一高频区的中层冷水和温度逆转现象作了初步分析;丁宗信(1994，1995)利用常规调査资料和CTD资料,对黄海、东海春、夏、秋、冬四季温、盐度垂直分布类型及逆转现象的成因进行了研究。本文根据中国科学院海洋研究所1984年和1985年6月在东海北部陆架区进行的大面水文调査资料(该资料由“科学一号”调査船使用Mark-Ⅲ CTD 探测仪获取),以及国家海洋局1975-1980年在东海取得的标准断面BT观测资料,对东海北部陆架区,特别是上述第二高频区的温、盐度逆转现象和成因作进一步研究。 由于该海区的温、盐度逆转现象与水团的配置及交汇密切相关,所以首先讨论该海区的水团。
