中国沿海10 种方蟹16S rRNA 基因序列分析及系统发育研究

中国沿海10种方蟹线粒体16S rRNA基因部分片段的序列长度为517 bp～533 bp。它们的核苷酸序列A、T、G、C的含量相似,A+T的含量(69.8%～76.0%)明显高于G+C的含量;10种方蟹的16S rRNA基因序列比对获得541 bp的同源序列(含插入/缺失位点),除插入/缺失位点外共检测到146个变异位点,其中81个为简约信息位点。4种厚蟹与2种近方蟹的遗传距离(0.054～0.085)都显著小于与其他方蟹之间的遗传距离,甚至明显小于与4种厚蟹原本属于同一相手蟹科的2种相手蟹之间的遗传距离(0.105～0.155);而基于16S rRNA基因片段序列采用NJ法构建的系统进化树的拓扑结构也显示,原本属于相手蟹科的侧足厚蟹、天津厚蟹、日本仿厚蟹和伍氏仿厚蟹没有与2种相手蟹聚为一支,而是最终与属于弓蟹科的2种近方蟹聚为一大支,且有高达99%的支持率。结果表明,4种厚蟹与2种近方蟹的亲缘关系相对较近,而与2种相手蟹等其他方蟹的亲缘关系则相对较远。因此,研究结果支持将4种厚蟹从相手蟹科移到弓蟹科。此外,属于相手蟹科的2种相手蟹聚为一支,属于方蟹科的白纹方蟹和属于斜纹蟹科的瘤突斜纹蟹又各自成为一支;表明16S rRNA基因的分子数据支持其形态学分类结果的正确性,提示上述4科蟹类可能分别为单系。

基于线粒体COI和16S rRNA基因的中国沿海相手蟹系统发育研究

相手蟹科的诸多种类因其形态极其相似成为方蟹总科分类中疑问较多的一个类群。通过对中国沿海相手蟹线粒体COI和16S rRNA基因序列进行分子系统发育分析,结果表明14种相手蟹COI和16S rRNA基因序列之间差异分别为5.7%～14.5%和1.5%～12.1%,均达到了种间差异水平。构建的系统发育树显示,14种相手蟹分别为独立有效物种,但分属于拟相手蟹属和近相手蟹属的4种拟相手蟹和3种近相手蟹,没有分别形成2个独立的支系,而是混合聚成一大支系。而属于螳臂相手蟹属的无齿螳臂相手蟹则首先与属于中相手蟹属的中华中相手蟹聚成一支,再与红螯螳臂相手蟹聚为一大支,表现出与形态分类的不一致。错综复杂的分子系统关系预示着相手蟹类为多系起源,也表明它们之间的种间关系乃至于属间关系尚有诸多问题有待进一步厘定。

在《西沙群岛蟹类研究Ⅰ》中，曾描述了蛙蟹科、馒头蟹科、菱蟹科、梭子蟹科、豆蟹科、扁蟹科、珊隐蟹科、沙蟹科、方蟹科及地蟹科的32种，分隶于22属。本文为西沙群岛蟹类研究报告的第二部分，根据材料为中国科学院海洋研究所1956-1958，1975-1976年先后五次在我国西沙群岛调查采集的标本写成，共记述30种，分隶于7科26属，其中15种为我国首次记录。本文主要报道蜘蛛蟹科、贝绵蟹科、玉蟹科共18种；此外，对《西沙群岛蟹类研究Ⅰ》己报道过的科属补充了12种。     

三强蟹属一新种记述(甲壳纲:短尾类)

三强蟹属Genus Tritodynamia隶属于豆蟹科Family Pinnotheridae倒颚蟹亚科Subfamily Asthenognathinae。本属自Ortmann于1894年建立以来,迄今共记载四种:日本三强蟹T. japonica Ortmann,1894,霍氏三强蟹T. horvathi Nobili,1905蓝氏三强蟹T. rathbunae Shen,1932及中型三强蟹T. intermedia Shen,1935。后两种的模式标本采自我国山东省烟台。     

中国海倒颚蟹属（甲壳动物亚门：十足目：豆蟹科）两新记录种

长期以来,中国海倒颚蟹属仅记录一种,即渤、黄、东海底栖动物常见种异足倒颚蟹AsthenognathusinaequipesStimpson,1858。作者对中国科学院海洋生物标本馆收藏的采自中国海的全部倒颚蟹属标本进行系统研究后共发现除该种外还有以下2种,为中国海的新记录:宽身倒颚蟹AsthenognathusgallardoiSer埁neandSoh,1976和六角倒颚蟹AsthenognathushexagonumRath-bun,1909,均采自南海北部。异足倒颚蟹为中国北方和东部海域常见种,但未见于南海。六角倒颚蟹与异足倒颚蟹形态上较相似。两者差异在于六角倒颚蟹头胸甲六角形,后缘约与额-眼眶缘等宽,背面有2对凹陷,后侧缘有2条颗粒脊,而异足倒颚蟹头胸甲后缘约为额-眼眶缘宽的1.5倍,背面仅有浅横沟。宽身倒颚蟹与其他两种形态差异较大,头胸甲宽约为长的1.9倍。     

基于形态和16S rRNA基因的拟相手蟹分类研究

拟相手蟹属因其形态极其相似成为相手蟹科分类中最有疑问的一个属。通过对中国沿海近亲拟相手蟹Parasesarma affine、斑点拟相手蟹P. pictum、三栉拟相手蟹P. tripectinis、P. ungulatum及褶痕拟相手蟹P. plicatum 5种拟相手蟹的形态对比发现,可从它们的螯足形状(包括螯足掌节背面的梳状栉,可动指背面突起数目)及雄性第一腹肢形状对其进行区分。对其线粒体16S rRNA基因序列进行分子系统发育分析,结果表明5种拟相手蟹之间的遗传距离为1.9%～9.3%,达到了种间差异水平;构建的系统发育树显示近亲拟相手蟹与褶痕拟相手蟹汇聚成一支,随后与P. ungulatum聚在一起,斑点拟相手蟹与三栉拟相手蟹汇聚成独立支系。形态和分子证据均支持5种拟相手蟹分别为独立有效物种。     

肉球近方蟹,绒螯近方蟹及平背蜞间的遗传变异(英文)

两种相手蟹线粒体 COI 基因序列的比较研究

测定了褶痕相手蟹(Sesarma plicata)和红螯相手蟹(S.haematocheir)线粒体细胞色素氧化酶I亚基(COI)基因片段的序列,其长度均为658bp,A,T,G,C的平均含量分别为28.6%,37.5%,17.0%,16.9%和29.5%,39.0%,16.2%,15.3%。2种蟹共出现5种单倍型,褶痕相手蟹2种,红螯相手蟹3种。两种间有75个(11.4%)多态性核苷酸位点,其中转换42个,颠换33个;种间差异远大于种内个体间差异。2种相手蟹的AT含量明显高于GC含量,这与其它海产甲壳动物COI基因研究结果相似。     

东海蟹类群落结构特征的研究

依据1998年5月(春季)、8月(夏季)、11月(秋季)和1999年2月(冬季)在东海26°00′—33°00′N、127°00′E以西海域的蟹类资源调查资料,对东海蟹类群落结构的特征进行了定量分析。结果表明,东海蟹类优势种有双斑、银光梭子蟹、细点圆趾蟹、长手隆背蟹、日本、武士、锈斑、三疣梭子蟹、泥脚隆背蟹、锐刺长蟹和纤手梭子蟹。其中银光梭子蟹、细点圆趾蟹、双斑和三疣梭子蟹是东海蟹类的主要优势种。常见种是艾氏牛角蟹、红星梭子蟹、绵蟹、变态、光掌、十一刺栗壳蟹、七刺栗壳蟹、象牙长螯蟹、卷折馒头蟹、直额、武装筐形蟹和显著琼娜蟹。种类组成特征方面,冬、春季蟹类少数优势种的优势性明显,秋季优势度种间差异不明显。种类数比较:东海南部最多(57种),中部次之(45种),北部最少(仅37种);不同季节间,春季最多(57种),其次是夏季(53种),秋、冬季较少(仅49种);水深越深的水域,种类数越多。多样性比较:冬、春、秋3季,从北到南,蟹类多样性逐渐增高,且随着水深加深而增大;夏季不同,水深小于40m的浅海多样性指数最高。东海蟹类共可分为3个生态类群,即广温广盐生态类群、高温广盐生态类群和高温高盐生态类群。

The distribution of Mn,Fe, Cu,Ni, Co,Ga, Cr,V, Ba,Sr, Sn,Zn, and Pb,in some soil-sized particulates from the lower troposphere over the world ocean

Soil-sized particulates have been collected on board ship by a mesh technique from the lower troposphere of the North, Equatorial and South Atlantic Ocean, northern and southern Indian Ocean, South and East China Sea and various coastal localities.Spectrographic analysis reveals that, on average, the particulates have concentrations of Mn, Ni, Co, Ga, Cr, V, Ba, and Sr which are of the same order of magnitude as those in average crustal material. In contrast, the average concentrations of Pb, Sn, and Zn are one order of magnitude higher than those in average crustal material.Within this “world-wide” average there are significant geographical variations in the distributions of Pb, Sn, and Zn which may be related to anthropogenic sources.On the basis of trace-element distributions lower tropospheric soil-sized marine particulates have been divided into four genetic components; local, zonal, inter-zonal, and global. The proportions of these components vary geographically, and each component may have both a natural and an anthropogenic fraction.     

Distribution, abundance, and growth of larval tautog, Tautoga onitis, in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, USA

Tautog, Tautoga onitis, is an abundant species of fish in estuaries of the northeastern United States. Planktonic tautog larvae are abundant in summer in these estuaries, but there is little information on rates of growth of tautog larvae feeding on natural assemblages of food in the plankton. We examined abundance and growth of larval tautog and environmental factors during weekly sampling at three sites along a nearshore‐to‐offshore transect in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, USA during summer 1994. This is the first study of a robust sample size (336 larvae) to estimate growth rates of field‐caught planktonic tautog larvae feeding on natural diets, using the otolith daily‐growth‐increment method. The study was over the entire summer period when tautog larvae were in the plankton. The sampling sites contrasted in several environmental variables including temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and chlorophyll a concentration. There was a temporal progression in the abundance of tautog larvae over the summer, in relation to location and temperature. Tautog larvae were first present nearshore, with a pronounced peak in abundance occurring at the nearshore sites during the last 2 weeks in June. Larvae were absent at this time further offshore. From late June through August, larval abundance progressively decreased nearshore, but increased offshore although never approaching the abundance levels observed at the nearshore sites. The distribution and abundance of tautog larvae appeared to be related to a nearshore‐to‐offshore seasonal warming trend and a nearshore decrease in DO. Otoliths from 336 larvae ranging from 2.3 to 7.7 mm standard length had otolith increment counts ranging from 0 to 19 increments. Growth of larval tautog was estimated at 0.23 mm·day^?1, and length of larvae prior to first increment formation was estimated at 2.8 mm indicating that first increment formation occurs 3–4 days after hatching at 2.2 mm. Despite spatial and temporal differences in environmental factors, there were no significant differences in growth rates at any of three given sites over time, or between sites. Because larval presence only occurred at a narrow range of temperature (17–23.5 °C) and DO (6.5–9.3 mg·l^?1), in situ differences in growth did not appear to be because of differences in larval distribution and abundance patterns relative to these parameters.     

The behavior of Zn,Cd, Cu,Ni, Co,Fe, and Mn in anoxic baltic waters

In June 1981, dissolved Zn, Cd, Cu, Ni, Co, Fe, and Mn were determined from two detailed profiles in anoxic Baltic waters (with extra data for Fe and Mn from August 1979). Dramatic changes across the O₂H₂S interface occur in the abundances of Cu, Co, Fe, and Mn (by factors of ?100). The concentrations of Zn, Cd, and Ni at the redox front decrease by factors between 3 to 5.Equilibrium calculations are presented for varying concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and compared with the field data. The study strongly supports the assumption that the solubility of Zn, Cd, Cu, and Ni is greatly enhanced and controlled by the formation of bisulfide and(or) polysulfide complexes. Differences between predicted and measured concentrations of these elements are mainly evident at lower ΣH₂S concentrations.Cobalt proved to be very mobile in anoxic regions, and the results indicate that the concentrations are limited by CoS precipitation. The iron (Fe²⁺) and manganese (Mn²⁺) distribution in sulfide-containing waters is controlled by total flux from sediment-water interfaces rather than by equilibrium concentrations of their solid phases (FeS and MnCO₃). The concentrations of these metals are therefore expected to increase with prolonged stagnation periods in the basin.     

Arsenic,barium, germanium,tin, dimethylsulfide and nutrient biogeochemistry in Charlotte Harbor,Florida, a phosphorus-enriched estuary

Concentrations of dissolved nutrients (NO₃, PO₄, Si), germanium species, arsenic species, tin, barium, dimethylsulfide and related parameters were measured along the salinity gradient in Charlotte Harbor. Phosphate enrichment from the phosphate industry on the Peace River promotes a productive diatom bloom near the river mouth where NO₃ and Si are completely consumed. Inorganic germanium is completely depleted in this bloom by uptake into biogenic opal. The $\text{Ge}\text{Si}$ ratio taken up by diatoms is about 0·7 × 10^?6, the same as that provided by the river flux, confirming that siliceous organisms incorporate germanium as an accidental trace replacement for silica. Monomethylgermanium and dimethylgermanium concentrations are undetectable in the Peace River, and increase linearly with increasing salinity to the seawater end of the bay, suggesting that these organogermanium species behave conservatively in estuaries, and are neither produced nor consumed during estuarine biogenic opal formation or dissolution. Inorganic arsenic displays slight removal in the bloom. Monomethylarsenic is produced both in the bloom and in mid-estuary, while dimethylarsenic is conservative in the bloom but produced in mid-estuary. The total production of methylarsenicals within the bay approximately balances the removal of inorganic arsenic, suggesting that most biological arsenic uptake in the estuary is biomethylated and released to the water column. Dimethylsulfide increases with increasing salinity in the estuary and shows evidence of removal, probably both by degassing and by microbial consumption. An input of DMS is observed in the central estuary. The behavior of total dissolvable tin shows no biological activity in the bloom or in mid-estuary, but does display a low-salinity input signal that parallels dissolved organic material, perhaps suggesting an association between tin and DOM. Barium displays dramatic input behavior at mid-salinities, probably due to slow release from clays deposited in the harbor after catastrophic phosphate slime spills into the Peace River.     

Cadmium,cobalt, copper,iron, lead,nickel and zinc in Indian Ocean water

Results of trace-metal analyses of water samples obtained during a cruise with the Soviet R.V. “Akademik Kurchatov” in the Indian Ocean are presented. The determinations were performed on board with atomic absorption spectrophotometry after a two-stage dithiocarbamate—Freon extraction procedure. Trace-metal concentrations found are in the same range as those found recently for similar open-ocean areas by other workers. The values for lead and zinc are probably high due to contamination. Vertical profiles indicate biogenic processes as controlling factors for the increase of cadmium, copper and nickel concentrations with depth. Iron shows an irregular depth distribution as a result of large random variations in concentration.     

Northstar-Geology,Exploration History,and Development Status,Beaufort Sea,Alaska

Exploration for oil at Northstar has been long and costly. Northstar leases were first acquired in 1979 at a joint state and federal sale by Shell Oil, Amerada Hess, and Texas Eastern. The Northstar Unit is 6 mi offshore and about 4 mi northeast of the Point McIntyre Field. Oil was first discovered in Shell's Seal Island 1 in 1983. Five additional appraisal wells were drilled (1983-1986) from two man-made gravel islands in 40 ft of water. Early engineering estimates put the cost of development at $ 1.6 billion. In February 1995, BP Exploration (Alaska) acquired a 98 % interest in the Northstar Unit from Amerada Hess and Shell Oil. When developed by BP, Northstar will be the first oil produced from federal leases in Alaska. To date, the oil industry has invested in excess of $ 140 million in exploration and appraisal operations. An additional $ 90 million was spent on lease bonus bids. The giant Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk Fields lie along the Barrow Arch. This arch is bounded to the north by a rift margin that deepens into the present-day offshore region. Northstar is located among a series of down-stepping faults off this northern rift margin of the Prudhoe Kuparuk high. The structure is a gently south-dipping northwest-trending faulted anticline. The crest of the structure is located near 10,850 ft subsea. The primary reservoir is the Ivishak Formation (325 ft thick) of the Sadlerochit Group. This is the same primary reservoir at Prudhoe Bay, approximately 12 mi to the south. At Northstar the Ivishak is a high-energy, coarse-grained conglomeratic facies of the Ivishak Formation. The primary lithology is a pebbly chert to quartz conglomerate with occasional sandstone. This very high net to gross reservoir appears to contain no regionally continuous permeability barriers. Cementation has reduced primary porosity to less than 15 %. Accurate porosity estimates are difficult to make due to the coarse-grained nature of the lithology and the presence of kaolinite and microporous chert. Permeability is highly variable, but averages 10 to 100 mDarcies. Oil is a very light and volatile 42 API crude with approximately 2,100 ft3 of gas per stock tank barrel of oil. This oil is very different from the heavier oils (26) found to the south in Prudhoe Bay. Estimated recoverable oil reserves range from 100 to 160 million barrels. A free-standing drilling rig is required at Northstar because the reserves are beyond extended-reach drilling techniques from shore-based facilities. The current development plan is to expand the existing Seal Island to about 5 acres. This is significantly less than Endicott's 40-acre island. The proposed drilling and produc tion island will be accessed by summer barges and winter ice roads. Oil, gas, and water will be processed at a stand-alone facility and then sent to shore via a subsurface pipeline. Northstar will have the first Arctic subsea pipeline in Alaska to transport oil to shore facilities (TAPS). Preliminary tests in Spring 1996 were very successful in demonstrating the technology to successfully bury a subsea pipeline safely in the Arctic.
