通过分析海绵清除大肠杆菌的过程,研究海绵净化细菌的机理。作者利用荧光显微镜和激光共聚焦显微镜观测等手段,监测和分析了绿色荧光大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)在繁茂膜海绵(Hymeniacidon perlevis)体内、体外水环境中数量变化过程。在1 L含有3×107个/m L绿色荧光大肠杆菌的海水中放入鲜重(1.02±0.11)g的繁茂膜海绵24块,处理7 h,海水中的荧光大肠杆菌数量逐渐降低;而海绵体内荧光大肠杆菌数量在2 h时内逐渐增多,之后的2 h趋于稳定,4 h以后开始逐渐减少。水体中大肠杆菌不仅进入海绵体内,而且进入海绵细胞内。含有荧光大肠杆菌的海绵块转入无菌海水中后,海绵体内及细胞中大肠杆菌逐渐消失,而且大肠杆菌没有被释放到环境海水中。分析表明,繁茂膜海绵能够以摄食的方式净化水环境中的大肠杆菌。     

Impact of predation on the polychaete Hediste diversicolor in estuarine intertidal flats

In estuarine sediment flats benthic macroinvertebrates are intensively consumed by a variety of predators, such as aquatic birds and nekton (mostly fish and crustaceans). However, there is still a lack of conclusive studies that evaluate if this predation has a relevant impact on the populations of those invertebrates, which are a key element of the estuarine food chain. In the Tagus estuary we experimentally tested and quantified the impact of predation on the polychaete Hediste diversicolor, one of the most important prey for a variety of predators in many estuaries. Using an exclusion experiment, we compared the seasonal variation in the densities of H. diversicolor from February to November in sediment plots (1) available to both bird and nekton predators, (2) just to nekton, and (3) without predators. We also followed changes in the abundance of potential predators throughout the study. The lowest densities were systematically observed in the plots accessible to all predators, followed by those which excluded just birds, and finally by those that excluded all predators. The exclosures were in place for 9 months, at the end of which the average density of H. diversicolor in the plots protected from all predators was eight times greater than in those without any protection. These results demonstrate that predation had a major impact on the densities of H. diversicolor. The relative importance of bird and nekton predation varied along the study, and this seems to be determined by different peaks of abundance of the two types of predators. However, when present in high densities, birds and nekton seem to have a similar impact on H. diversicolor. Our results suggest that predation is a key factor on the population dynamics of H. diversicolor. In addition, the levels of predation that we observed suggest that this polychaete can be a limited resource, and this could have major ecological consequences for predators for which it is a key prey.     

浴场海水中大肠杆菌耐药性及其耐药基因研究

为了解海水浴场中大肠杆菌耐药性状况及其耐药基因分布,以大连星海浴场近岸海水样品为研究对象,分离鉴定得到41株大肠杆菌,采用K-B药敏纸片法检测其对9种常用抗生素的耐药性,并对耐药菌株中的耐药基因进行检测。结果表明:41株受试大肠杆菌菌株对四环素的耐药率最高(46%),而对氨曲南的耐药率最低(5%),大肠杆菌的多重耐药率达到34%。采用PCR方法对41株分离菌株进行四环素耐药基因检测,结果显示,仅四环素耐药基因tetA和tetB被检出,其他4种类型四环素耐药基因未被检出。大肠杆菌基因组与质粒DNA中tetA的检出率分别为34%和29%;tetB的检出率分别为2%和12%。相关性分析结果表明大肠杆菌的四环素耐药表型与四环素耐药基因的阳性检出率显著相关。     

Reconstructing estuarine conditions: oyster shells as recorders of environmental change, Southwest Florida

Live-collected shells of the oyster, Crassostrea virginica, contain geochemical records of modern temperature and salinity, so records of prehistoric conditions may be obtained from subfossil shells. Restoration of channelized watersheds in Florida is receiving much attention, and plans for targeted watersheds require information about estuarine conditions before channelization. Lack of historical records necessitates alternative methods to understand pre-disturbance conditions. A ¹⁴C-calibrated, amino-acid geochronology based on racemization of glutamic acid yielded ages ranging from 190–1220 AD and from 1270–1860 AD for subfossil oysters from Blackwater River (near-natural watershed) and for Faka-Union Bay (channelized watershed), respectively. δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C values of subfossil shells from Blackwater River indicate salinity and summer temperatures similar to present. Winter temperatures recorded in shells from 190, 590, 720, and 1050 AD appear 1–5 °C colder than present winter temperatures, whereas the shell from 1220 AD records winter temperatures similar to modern winter temperatures. These temperature shifts may indicate change in climate or natural seasonal variation of winter temperature from year to year. Subfossils from Faka-Union Bay may reflect a complicated hydrology, which cannot be evaluated by isotopic compositions alone and demonstrates the need for development of independent elemental proxies for temperature and salinity. Decreases in δ¹³C from subfossil to modern shells may in part result from CO₂ added to the atmosphere from fossil fuel burning (the Suess effect). Subfossil δ¹³C that is >1‰ more positive than modern shells suggest a change in the dominant carbon sources from terrestrial C₄ or aquatic plants to C₃ plants (mangroves).     

Cpx 对迟缓爱德华氏菌毒力的影响

迟缓爱德华氏菌(Edwardsiella tarda)是水产养殖动物常见病原菌.接合质粒表达系统(conjugative plasmid expression, Cpx)是G–菌的双组分调控系统.本研究构建了迟缓爱德华氏菌LSE40的cpx基因簇缺失突变株Δcpx,检测其对蓝曼龙(Trichogaster trichopterus)的毒力.结果显示以浸泡感染,Δcpx的毒力有所降低.以肌肉注射途径感染,Δcpx的半数致死量为8.6×105 cfu/mL毒力下降7.33倍.Δcpx在鱼体内的生存力显著下降(P<0.05).这些结果表明Cpx参与了迟缓爱德华氏菌的致病作用.     

Analysis of estuarine colour components during non-monsoon period through Ocean Colour Monitor

Simultaneous acquisition of water samples, radiance and irradiance measurements were carried out from 40 stations in the Mandovi–Zuari estuaries during February to May 2002. From the samples collected, inherent and apparent optical properties (IOP and AOP) such as absorption coefficient (a), upwelling diffuse attenuation coefficient (k_u) and subsurface reflectance (R) were derived. Using these optical properties, radiative transfer at each water column is examined. On the basis of the radiative transfer outcome, band-ratio algorithms are derived for three optically active substances (OAS), viz, chlorophyll-a, suspended sediment and coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM). The respective algorithms are 670/555, 490/670 and 412/670 nm for chlorophyll-a, suspended sediment and CDOM. These algorithms are applied to Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM), onboard Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS)-Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (P4), scenes (digital data), to synoptically analyze these OAS. The synoptic analysis of OAS revealed different hydrodynamic characteristics of the estuaries during non-monsoon seasons.     

Recruitment of flatfish species to an estuarine nursery habitat (Lima estuary, NW Iberian Peninsula)

One of the present concerns of fish biologists involves defining and identifying nursery habitats in the context of conservation and resource management strategies. Fish nursery studies usually report upon nursery occupation during the latter juvenile stages, despite the fact that recruitment to nurseries can start early in life, during the larval phase. Here we investigated the use of a temperate estuarine nursery area, the Lima estuary (NW Portugal), by initial development stages of flatfish species before and after metamorphosis, integrating the larval and juvenile phases. The Lima estuarine flatfish community comprised twelve taxa, seven of which were present as pelagic larvae, six as juveniles and three as adults. There was a general trend of increasing spring–summer abundance of both larvae and juveniles, followed by a sharp winter decrease, mainly of larval flatfishes. The Lima estuary was used by Solea senegalensis, Platichthys flesus and Solea solea as a nursery area, with direct settlement for the two first species. In contrast, indirect settlement was suggested for S. solea, with metamorphosis occurring outside the estuarine area. Estuarine recruitment of S. senegalensis varied between years, with young larvae occurring in the estuary throughout a prolonged period that lasted 6–9 months, corroborating the protracted spawning season. P. flesus, the second most abundant species, exhibited a typical spring estuarine recruitment, without inter-annual variations. Developed larvae arrived in the estuary during spring, whereas the 0-group juveniles emerged in the following summer period. The present study contributes new insight to our understanding of the economically important S. senegalensis, and highlights the importance of integrating the planktonic larval phase into traditional flatfish nursery studies.

海洋酸化对海水青鳉胚胎骨骼发育的影响

本文在实验室模拟近期海洋酸化水平,对海洋酸化对海水青鳉鱼(Oryzia melastigma)胚胎骨骼发育的影响进行了初步研究。实验中,通过往实验水体中充入一定浓度CO2气体酸化海水。对照组CO2分压为450×10-6,两个处理组CO2浓度分别为1 160×10-6和1 783×10-6,对应的水体pH值分别为8.14,7.85和7.67。将海水青鳉鱼受精卵放入实验水体中至仔鱼孵化出膜,对初孵仔鱼经骨骼染色、显微拍照,挑取了仔鱼头部、躯干及尾部骨骼染色清晰的28个骨骼参数的长度进行了显微软件测量及数据统计分析。结果发现,酸化处理对实验鱼所测量的骨骼长度影响均不显著。因此推测,未来100~200年间海洋酸化对海水青鳉鱼的胚胎及初孵仔鱼的骨骼发育没有显著影响。

Decoupling of nutrient and grazer impacts on a benthic estuarine diatom assemblage

Strong interactions between top-down (consumptive) and bottom-up (resource supply) trophic factors occur in many aquatic communities, but these forces can act independently in some microphytobenthic communities. Within benthic estuarine diatom assemblages, the dynamics of these interactions and how they vary with abiotic environmental conditions are not well understood. We conducted a field experiment at two sites with varying habitat characteristics to investigate the interactive effects of grazers and nutrients on benthic estuarine diatoms. We crossed snail (Cerithidea californica) and nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) addition treatments in enclosures on a restored tidal sandflat and a reference tidal mudflat in Mugu Lagoon, southern California. We repeated the study in summer 2000 and spring 2001 to assess temporal variation in the interactions. Snails caused a large decrease in diatom relative abundance and biomass (estimated as surface area); nutrients increased diatom abundance but did not alter diatom biomass. Snails and nutrients both reduced average diatom length, although the nutrient effect was weaker and temporally variable, occurring in the reference mudflat in the spring. There were few interactions between snail and nutrient addition treatments, suggesting that links between top-down and bottom-up forces on the diatom community were weak. There were no consistent differences in diatom assemblage characteristics between the two study sites, despite marked differences in sediment grain size and other abiotic characteristics between the sites. The strong diatom response to herbivores and weaker responses to enrichment differed from the previous studies where cyanobacteria increased in response to nutrient enrichment, further dissolving the “black box” perception of microphytobenthic communities.     

The effect of salinity on clearance rate in the suspension-feeding estuarine gastropod Crepipatella dilatata under natural and controlled conditions

The suspension-feeding gastropod Crepipatella dilatata occurs in estuaries in southern Chile that experience considerable fluctuations in salinity, driven by tidal and atmospheric forces. In the Quempillén estuary salinities as low as 9 psu may occur after severe rainstorms, and persist for several hours. In this study salinity was the major factor influencing the clearance rate of C. dilatata. At salinities below 20 psu, filtration ceased, whereas at high salinities (>22 psu) mean clearance rate was 0.24 l h⁻¹ standard animal⁻¹ (S.D. 0.18) for actively filtering individuals. This was confirmed by laboratory experiments under controlled conditions. Endoscopic observations were consistent with measurements of clearance rate, and showed that at salinity 25–30 psu the rate of transport along the gill filaments of particulate material embedded in mucus was 759 μm s⁻¹ (S.D. 480), but particle transport ceased at and below salinity 20 psu. Complete or partial isolation of the mantle cavity from the environment may be a mechanism to protect soft tissues and/or incubated egg capsules from osmotic stress.     

太平洋金枪鱼渔场关键次表层环境变量的季节变化

为了解太平洋大眼金枪鱼(Thunnus obesus)和黄鳍金枪鱼(Thunnus albacares)主要作业渔场次表层关键环境变量时空分布特征,作者采用2007~2012年Argo剖面浮标数据,分析了太平洋大眼金枪鱼和黄鳍金枪鱼延绳钓主要作业渔场区温跃层特征参数、12℃和距表层海温8℃(Δ8℃)等值线信息。研究表明,温跃层上界深度和温度以及Δ8℃等深线具有明显的季节性变化。温跃层上界深度呈现出冬深、夏浅的季节性变化特征,大致呈纬向带状分布。1~3月份,北太平洋从东到西温跃层上界深度值都超过90 m,同期10°S以南的海域均低于60 m;7~9月份则相反。在太平洋150°W以西,20°S~20°N区域,温跃层上界温度全年在28℃以上。8℃等深线显示在东部太平洋,一块低值区域(150m)由东海岸向西海岸延伸;在20°N以北和20°S以南的高值区域(250m)表现出冬深、夏浅的季节性变化特征。温跃层下界深度图显示有两块高值区域(深度大于280m)从西向东,由低纬度向高纬度漂移;在东部太平洋,两个高值区域之间的纬向区域常年存在一块下界深度低值区域(140m)。与下界深度类似,温跃层下界温度也有两块低温区域(12℃)从西向东,由低纬度向高纬度漂移。在该低温区域的外侧舌状区域,下界温度超过17℃;东部太平洋在13~15℃。在15°N以北和15°S以南12℃等深线超过400 m,呈舌状;赤道东部太平洋,一块300 m深的细长舌状区域由东向西延伸。在上述区域之间,12℃等深线的深度值低于200 m。温跃层下界深度和温度,以及12℃等深线则没有明显的季节性变化。分析结果初步揭示了太平洋金枪鱼主要作业渔场温跃层上界温度、12℃和Δ8℃等值线信息分布特征,为金枪鱼实际生产作业提供理论参考。     

经济海藻繁育、养殖及综合利用的回顾与展望

经济海藻繁育、养殖及综合利用是海洋农牧业及工业的重要组成部分。20世纪经过几代人的努力,我国在海带、紫菜、裙带菜及龙须菜的繁育、养殖关键技术等方面成功取得突破,为这些海藻的产业化提供坚实的保障,为我国成为世界海藻大国奠定了基础。海藻养殖产业为人们提供了食品、藻胶及其它丰富的产品,这包括保健品、功能食品、化妆品及药物等。海藻养殖产业也对人类经济、社会的发展起到重要作用,通过吸收环境中的二氧化碳、氮和磷,为海洋生态环境的改善发挥了重要作用。本文对我国海藻繁育、养殖及综合开发的历程进行简要回顾,对当前我国、中国科学院海洋研究海藻研究与应用进行了总结,对海藻研究发展的未来进行了展望;适应海藻产业从量向质的方向转变,同时兼顾生态环境效益,为我国海藻研发及应用提供参考。     

利用渔场环境因子标准化西北太平洋柔鱼CPUE的研究

本文利用1998-2016年西北太平洋柔鱼渔业数据及其渔场（35°~45°N,140°~165°E）的海洋遥感环境数据,包括海表温度、海面高度异常和叶绿素浓度,采用基于渔场环境的方法标准化西北太平洋柔鱼单位捕捞努力量渔获量（catch per unit effort,CPUE）。结果表明:柔鱼高频次作业的海表温度范围为10.2~22.2℃（96.05%）,海面高度异常范围为-15.9~28.2 cm（97.91%）,叶绿素浓度范围为0.0~1.0 mg/m3（96.69%）。名义CPUE和基于环境因子的标准化CPUE年际变化趋势基本一致。但由于柔鱼作业方式高度集中,有效捕捞努力量远低于名义捕捞努力量,以及考虑环境因子影响效应,名义CPUE均低于标准化CPUE。在深入理解鱿钓渔业和其生物学特性的基础上,基于渔场环境因子准化后的CPUE更具代表性,建议在以后的柔鱼资源评估与管理中使用基于渔场环境因子的标准化CPUE。     

不同环境因素影响下直链藻垂向分布特性研究

为了解不同环境因素对水库内直链藻(Melosira)垂向分布的影响程度, 作者利用自制沉降柱实验模拟不同光照、水动力以及降雨条件对水中直链藻垂向分布的影响。通过单因素方差分析实验数据表明光照和降雨条件的改变对上浮区内直链藻的垂向分布具有显著影响, 底部出流流量的改变对下沉区内直链藻的垂向分布具有显著影响。随着水深的增加, 光照和降雨对水中直链藻垂向分布的影响减弱而水动力则对其影响增强。同时还验证了直链藻具有较强的趋光性, 宜在低光强环境内生长, 模拟测得其最适光强在3 000 lx 左右; 降雨对水中直链藻的垂向分布起到抑制作用, 降雨强度越大水中直链藻就越偏离水体表面; 在底部出流流量影响范围内, 随着出流流量的增大水中直链藻就越向水动力改变处聚集且稳定时间越短。     

Distribution of nitrogenous nutrients and denitrifiers strains in estuarine sediment profiles of the Tanshui River, northern Taiwan

Chemical profiles of both oxidized (nitrate and sulfate) and reduced (ammonium, sulfide, acid-volatile sulfide [AVS], and pyrite) materials and the corresponding distribution of denitrifier microbial communities were measured at low tide in sediments at Guandu in the estuary of the Tanshui River, northern Taiwan in August 2002. Denitrifier strains were isolated for physiological and phylogenic analyses. Based on the distribution of nitrogenous compounds and denitrifier abundances, the vertical profile of Guandu sediments could be separated into four layers: a mixed layer (the top 1 cm of depth, respectively containing 0.82–2.37 and 535.9–475.0 μM of nitrate and ammonium), a nitrate-concentrated layer (1–5 cm in depth, 2.37–0.53 and 475.0–1192.1 μM, respectively), a denitrifier-aggregation layer (5–7 cm in depth, 0.53–0.72 and 1192.1–1430.1 μM, respectively), and an ammonium-enriched layer (7–12 cm in depth, 0.72–0.78 and 1430.1–2196.6 μM, respectively). Denitrifier strains were detected in all layers except for the mixed layer. A variety of metabolic processes by these strains may occur in different layers. Bacillus jeotgali-, Bacillus sphaericus-, and Bacillus firmus-related strains isolated from the nitrate-concentrated layer may be involved in the nitrification-denitrification coupling process due to the relatively low nitrate concentrations (maximum = 2.37 μM), and may contribute to denitrification not nitrification. Bacillus bataviensis- and B. jeotgali-related strains isolated from the denitrifier-aggregation layer comprised the predominant denitrifier population (3.64 × 10⁴ cells/g of denitrifier abundance). They possess the ability of dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA). Bacillus jeotgali-related strains and two newly identified strains of GD0705 and GD0706 isolated from the ammonium-enriched layer possibly use fermentative processes as the main metabolic pathway instead of denitrification when nitrate is scarce, and this further supports the high ammonium concentrations (up to 2.20 mM) found in the Guandu sediments. In addition, spore formation also enhances the chance of survival of these strains in the face with such a nitrate-deficient environment.     

密度胁迫对日本囊对虾生长和水环境的影响

为了探讨密度胁迫对日本囊对虾(Marsupenaeus japonicus)生长、存活及水质因子的影响, 作者设置了100尾/m²(DD)、200 尾/m²(GD)、400 尾/m²(GZ)、600 尾/m²(GG)4个养殖密度, 分析了不同养殖密度下日本囊对虾的生长量、存活率、肥满度及水质因子的差异。结果表明, 实验所监测的水质因子均在对虾生长的安全阈值内, 氨态氮、亚硝态氮、总氮和总磷含量表现出随养殖密度增加逐渐升高的趋势; 体长和体质量增长量、存活率与养殖密度呈负相关, 其中存活率处理间均达到极显著水平(P< 0.01), 且当养殖密度高于200尾/m²时存活率迅速降低; 低养殖密度(DD)处理的对虾肥满度与其他处理间差异均达到显著水平(P< 0.01)。因此, 在相似养殖条件下, 日本囊对虾的适宜养殖密度应该不高于200尾/m²。本实验过程中, 各处理间水质因子均在对虾生长的适宜范围内, 说明水质不是造成对虾死亡的主要原因。所以, 推测密度胁迫可能是造成日本囊对虾存活率低的主要原因。
