基于数量性状的砂海螂(Mya arenaria)选择指标评估

采用多元回归和通径分析的方法,研究了砂海螂(Mya arenaria)形态性状对重量性状的影响,建立了利用形态性状估计重量性状的回归方程,以评估砂海螂育种的选择指标。结果表明,各形态性状与体重、软体部重之间的相关系数均达到极显著水平(P<0.01);壳长对体重和软体部重的直接效应均为最大,其通径系数分别为0.4338和0.3265,是影响体重和软体部重的主要因素。壳宽对体重和软体部重的直接影响效应次之,但壳高对重量性状的影响主要是间接效应。决定系数分析的结果与通径分析结果具有一致的变化趋势。上述结果为砂海螂选择育种提供了依据,以壳长作为首选指标,能有效地增加体重和软体部重。

Experimentally determined Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios in juvenile bivalve calcite for Mytilus edulis: implications for paleotemperature reconstructions

To further evaluate the potential use of Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios as a paleothermometer in the shell carbonate of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis, we grew juvenile mussels (～15 mm shell height; <2 years old) collected from Maine, USA, in controlled environments for 4 months. The four-by-three factorial design consisted of four circulating temperature baths (7, 11, 15 and 19°C), and three salinity ranges (23, 28, and 32). During the experiment, water Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca molar ratios were monitored weekly, and showed little variation across all salinity and temperature ranges. Data from sampled shells including all salinity treatments yielded relatively poor relationships between shell elemental chemistry and water temperatures. However, if only the low salinity treatment data (23) are used, the relationships between shell elemental chemistry and water temperature improve moderately. Based on the data presented here, it may be possible to use Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios from the shell carbonate of juvenile M. edulis to reconstruct paleotemperatures in estuarine settings (salinity below 24) with a corresponding RMSE (root mean squared error; 95% confidence interval) of ±2.4°C and ±2.8°C, respectively. In order for this methodology to be statistically meaningful, water temperature changes must be rather large, as the errors associated with using Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios from the shell material of M. edulis are substantial. Further work is required to determine if the findings presented here can be duplicated, and if the potential salinity effect is pervasive.

Ecology of Diloma nov Aezelandiae at Portobello,New Zealand

Some aspects of the biology of Diloma (Fractarmilla) novaezelandiae (Anton) (= Zediloma subrostrata), a soft‐shore trochid gastropod, were investigated in Latham Bay, Portobello, South Island, New Zealand (45° 50’ 25” S, 170° 38’ 30” E). The distribution of D. novaezelandiae during September 1973 to June 1974 was recorded along three transects; pebble distribution, macroalgal cover, grain‐size distribution and organic carbon content in the sediment, range of water salinity, and length of time of exposure to air were also recorded along the transects.

The greatest population density of D. novaezelandiae occurred between 0.8 m and 1.4 m above Chart Datum. The trochid was found to prefer a hard substratum to a soft substratum, and there was a positive correlation of organic content of the sediment with density of D. novaezelandiae. As the population density decreased towards low water the individual shell size increased. Size: weight relationships were calculated and the results showed that dry flesh weight and dry shell weight were both proportional to the cube of the shell diameter.     

Interactive effects of pH and temperature on native and alien mussels from the west coast of South Africa

Global warming and ocean acidification influence marine calcifying organisms, particularly those with external shells. Among these, mussels may compensate for environmental changes by phenotypic plasticity, but this may entail trade-offs between shell deposition, growth and reproduction. We assessed main and interactive effects of pH and temperature on four mussel species on the west coast of South Africa (33°48′ S, 18°27′ E) in October 2012 by comparing shell dissolution, shell growth, shell breaking force and condition index of two native species, the ribbed mussel Aulacomya atra and the black mussel Choromytilus meridionalis, and two aliens, the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the bisexual mussel Semimytilus algosus. Live mussels and dead shells were exposed for 42 days to seawater of pH 7.5 or 8.0, at 14 °C or 20 °C. Low pH, high temperature and their combination increased shell dissolution of the two aliens but their growth rates and condition indices remained unchanged. Aulacomya atra also experienced greater shell dissolution at a low pH and high temperature, but grew faster in low-pH treatments. For C. meridionalis, shell dissolution was unaffected by pH or temperature; it also grew faster in low-pH treatments, but had a lower condition index in the higher temperature treatment. Shell strength was not determined by thickness alone. In most respects, all four species proved to be robust to short-term reduction of pH and elevation of temperature, but the native species compensated for greater shell dissolution at low pH by increasing growth rate, whereas the aliens did not, so their invasive success cannot be ascribed to benefits accruing from climate change.

How long does oyster shell last on an oyster reef?

A reduction in population abundance, brought on by an unprecedented 6 years of low recruitment, has reduced shell input through natural mortality on Delaware Bay oyster beds. Quantitative stock surveys provide an estimate of surficial shell over the same time period, permitting the reconstruction of the time history of shell since 1998 and estimation of the rates of shell addition and loss. Shell loss rates were unexpectedly high. In most cases, half of the shell added to an oyster bed in Delaware Bay in a given year is lost over a subsequent period of 2–10 years. Unexpectedly, the shortest half-lives, typically two to three years, are at intermediate salinities. Half-lives increase upbay into lower salinity and downbay into higher salinity to about 10 years. Minimal shell doubling times were calculated under the assumption of no shell loss, a maximum accretion rate. Minimal doubling times vary from somewhat less than a decade to more than a score of years. Doubling times of decadal scale emphasize that shell has the potential to accumulate rapidly on human time scales. The rarity of definitive documentation of shell accumulation, in terms of reef vertical accretion or lateral expansion, can only be explained if most shell produced yearly does not long remain recognizably intact. Doubling times are not rapid on the scale of oyster generation time, however. Management of essential fish habitat in the estuarine realm must include management of the shell budget and management of commercial shell-producing species must include the provision of animals as carbonate producers for habitat maintenance. Shell, at least in estuarine habitats, may have low preservational potential, even in areas that, when preserved, will appear to be shellbeds. The biases in the fossil record may not be minimized in shell-rich environments of preservation because shelliness does not imply good preservability.     

Effects of salinity on mineralogy and chemical composition of Cerastoderma edule and Monodonta articulata shells

Shells of the mollusks Cerastoderma (Cerastoderma) edule (Linnaeus 1758) and Monodonta (Osilinus) articulata Lamark 1822 from salt evaporate basins in western Sicily are studied and the effect of environmental conditions (particularly salinity and water chemistry) on mineralogy and chemical composition is investigated and discussed.

The elements determined both in seawater and shell carbonate are: Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, Sr and Pb.

Both species studied discriminate against all the minor and trace elements determined; the degree of such discrimination, for some elements, is inversely related to salinity.

The mineralogical composition of the shells (Monodonta has a mixed mineralogy while Cerastoderma is entirely aragonitic) appears to be controlled neither by temperature nor by salinity.

In Monodonta shells direct correlations have been found between the following parameters: calcite-Sr (in younger shells only), calcite-Fe, calcite-Pb (in older shells only), calcite-Zn, salinity-Mg and salinity-Pb, whereas inverse correlations were observed between calcite and Sr (in older shells only) and calcite and Pb (in younger shells only). In Cerastoderma shells a direct correlation was found between salinity and Fe and Mg.

The thickness of the shells appears, in both species, to be an inverse linear function of salinity.     

紫扇贝和海湾扇贝杂交家系的生长和通径分析

以紫扇贝(Argopecten purpuratus)和海湾扇贝(Argopecten irradians irradians)为亲本,建立了紫扇贝自交(ZZ)、海湾扇贝自交(HH)、紫扇贝(卵)×海湾扇贝(精)(ZH)和海湾扇贝(卵)×紫扇贝(精)(HZ)共4个试验家系.在养殖60、127 d时测定壳高、壳长、壳厚和体质量,并分析各养殖时期影响体质量的主要因素.结果表明:在各养殖时期,2杂交家系子代的壳高、壳厚以及体质量均表现出生长优势(P＜0.01),因此认为通过紫扇贝和海湾扇贝杂交方式是改善扇贝的良好方法.通径分析的结果表明,对于自交家系,壳长是影响体质量的主要影响因素,但对于杂交家系HZ来说,壳长(60 d)和壳厚(127 d)对体质量的决定作用最大;在杂交家系ZH,60 d时壳长和壳厚的协同作用对体质量的决定作用最大,127d时壳高的决定作用最大.因此对于两个杂交家系的选育,应按照不同性状对体质量的决定系数选择各时期的优势性状,以使子代的杂种优势充分表现.     

墨西哥湾扇贝(Argopecten irradians concentricus)选育系F7在广西北部湾海域的生长比较研究

本实验于2014年9月—2015年6月选用同一批次的墨西哥湾扇贝选育系F_7和对照系贝苗,在广西北部湾海域进行生长对比养殖实验。将出池稚贝在海上保苗过渡,长至10mm进入中培期,长至30mm进入养成期,再投放到广西北海、钦州、防城港3个养殖海域,采用网笼吊养方式养殖,对各时期的墨西哥湾扇贝选育系F_7和对照系的生长性能及在3个海域生长进行评估。结果表明,墨西哥湾扇贝选育系F_7的各生长指标都优于同日龄对照系(P0.05)。在北海海域,选育系和对照系的壳长、壳宽、壳高、体质量、软体质量、肉柱重等各生长指标具有显著差异(P0.05);在钦州海域,选育系和对照系的以上各生长指标都具有显著差异(P0.05),但233日龄除外;在防城港海域,232日龄的选育系和对照系的壳长、壳高差异显著(P0.05)。在150日龄,墨西哥湾扇贝选育系F_7的壳长、壳高表现为北海钦州防城港,墨西哥湾扇贝选育系F_7的壳宽、体质量、肉柱重表现为北海防城港钦州。水质测量结果显示,北海的盐度、温度、pH、溶解氧的变化最为稳定,钦州、防城港的水质变化较大。浮游植物统计分析结果表明,浮游植物藻属的种类从大到小依次为钦州北海防城港,而浮游植物数量从大到小依次为北海防城港钦州。墨西哥湾扇贝选育系F_7的生长性状明显高于对照系,以北海生长最为突出,具有明显的生长优势和发展潜力。研究结果为墨西哥湾扇贝选育系F_7在广西北部湾的推广养殖及进一步选育提供基础资料。     

不同养殖海域栉孔扇贝(Chlamys farreri)混合家系的通径分析

为了深入认识栉孔扇贝(Chlamys farreri)壳尺寸性状和体重之间的关系,达到通过直观可见形状判断非直观性状,在栉孔扇贝苗种培育中指导种贝挑选工作的目的,本实验将600余只扇贝分别于三个不同纬度养殖环境(山东青岛、山东荣成和辽宁大连)下养殖一年后测量其性状数据,包括壳长、壳高、壳宽、体重,进行壳尺寸性状对体重性状的通径分析。偏回归系数统计表明,除大连海域壳长对体重的偏回归系数为0.266,差异不显著(P0.05)外,其它参数对体重均极显著(P0.01),表明大多数自变量和因变量之间都有极显著的共线性关系。对各个海域建立以壳尺寸为自变量,体重为因变量的回归方程,得出通径系数、各性状间的相关性指数以及各参数对体重的决定系数,计算出了不同养殖地点的栉孔扇贝壳尺寸性状和体重之间关系的回归方程。通径分析显示,对青岛海域栉孔扇贝体重直接作用最大的是壳高,对荣成海域栉孔扇贝体重直接作用最大的是壳长,而对大连海域栉孔扇贝体重直接作用最大的是壳宽。因此,以体重为目标挑选青岛海域的种贝时,应以壳高为优先选择指标;挑选荣成海域的种贝时,优先选择壳长;挑选大连海域的种贝时,优先选择壳宽。不同养殖海域栉孔扇贝的通径分析为栉孔扇贝亲贝的挑选提供了理论支持。     

Erosion of cohesive sediments as a rate process

The problems associated with the erosion of cohesive sediment in the marine environment are well recognized. However, the mechanisms of controlling erosion are not well understood. The research to be presented was directed at characterizing the erosion resistance of cohesive sediment through the application of rate process and double layer theories. Additionally, relationships between erodability and temperature, salinity, pore water content and erosional shear stress were studied.A total of 50 tests were conducted in a refrigerated water tunnel. These included tests in which temperature was incremented at constant erosional shear stress and tests within which the erosional stress was varied at constant temperature.The material tested was a remoulded illitic-silt (Grundite). Tests were performed at constant pH and at five different water contents ranging from 40 to 80%. For each water content, samples were tested at five different salinities varying from 0 to 10% NaCl.Results are as follows: (1) the erosional response of cohesive sediments can be described with rate process and double layer throries, (2) the magnitude of experimental activation energies suggest solid-to-solid bonding and are essentially independent of salinity and water content, (3) experimental flow volumes were essentially invariant with water content, but decreased with salinity in accordance with the double layer theory, which suggest that the dominant interparticle forces in surface cohesive erosion are physico-chemical rather than mechanical.
