Population dynamics and chemical ecology of New Zealand Demospongiae Latrunculia sp. nov. and Polymastia croceus (Poecilosclerida: Latrunculiidae: Polymastiidae)

For 3 years aspects of the population dynamics, growth, and bioactivity (measure of biologically active metabolite biosynthesis) of the Demospongiae Latrunculia sp. nov. and Polymastia croceus (Kelly‐Borges & Bergquist) were examined on a subtidal reef on the Wellington south coast, New Zealand. For both species, survival of adult sponges was high in all seasons, whereas juvenile sponges had poor survival. Recruitment of Latrunculia sp. nov. occurred in all seasons indicating that this species is reproductively active throughout the year. P. croceus recruited mostly in autumn, supporting previous work that found the sponge to be reproductively active in summer and early autumn only. For both sponge species, growth rates varied greatly between individuals and were unaffected by initial sponge size within the range examined. Sponges generally grew during winter and spring as the water temperature rose, and shrank during summer and autumn as the water temperature fell. This growth pattern may relate to seasonal variation in food abundance, and for P. croceus it may result also from seasonal differences in reproductive investment. After 2 years, Latrunculia sp. nov. and P. croceus had on average, halved and doubled in size, respectively. Latrunculia sp. nov. showed a seasonal pattern of bioactivity, being most active in spring possibly to prevent the surface overgrowth of fouling organisms. P. croceus had no seasonal pattern of bioactivity, but individuals were either very active or inactive. The bioactive metabolites in both species possibly aid in competitive interactions and prevent predation and biofouling.     

Regional variation in distribution pattern, population structure and growth rates of Meganyctiphanes norvegica and Thysanoessa longicaudata in the Irminger Sea, North Atlantic

Euphausiids are a key component of the northern North Atlantic marine ecosystem and Meganyctiphanes norvegica and Thysanoessa longicaudata are dominant both numerically and in terms of biomass. The Irminger Sea is remote and experiences often-hostile weather conditions. Consequently, few studies have been conducted there, and detailed information on the seasonal distribution, abundance and growth of euphausiids is limited. Here we explore patterns of abundance and spatial and temporal variation in length–frequency distribution in order to determine regional growth rates for both species in the Irminger Basin. Regional composite length–frequency distributions for spring, summer and winter were devised by aggregating discrete net haul data according to the results of a multivariate cluster analysis of length conducted on spring and summer net sample data. Three biologically distinct regions within the Irminger basin were apparent (Central Irminger Sea, Northern Irminger Sea and East of Greenland Shelf). These regions corresponded broadly with distinct physical zones within the basin. Modes in the composite length–frequency distributions were determined by fitting multiple normal distributions, and regional differences in growth were investigated by tracking modes between seasons. The results provide some evidence for regional variability in growth and population dynamics. The population structure and growth of M. norvegica was similar in the open ocean regions of the Northern and Central Irminger Basin, but different in the region around the East Greenland Shelf. There was a distinct absence of larger individuals (+I-group) in the open ocean regions compared to East Greenland Coast region, and growth rates were marginally higher. A similar pattern in population structure was also observed for T. longicaudata. Variability in growth and abundance are discussed in relation to prevailing environmental characteristics such as temperature and food availability.     

Diet composition and resource partitioning in two small flatfish species in the German Bight

Since the late 1980s, the small-sized non-commercial flatfish species solenette (Buglossidium luteum) and scaldfish (Arnoglossus laterna) have increased in abundance in the southern North Sea. Because these species are considered as possible competitors for prey of commercial flatfish, this study aimed at advancing knowledge of their feeding ecology.Between January 2009 and January 2010 stomach contents of solenette and scaldfish and benthic infauna were sampled seasonally in a study area in the German Bight. The objectives were to investigate the seasonal variability of feeding activity and diet composition of both flatfish species related to benthic prey availability.For both flatfish, the highest feeding activity was found in summer, at the same time that the highest prey densities occurred in the study area. A reduced feeding activity was observed during the winter of 2010, but not in the winter of 2009, probably related to higher 2009 water temperatures.In all seasons, diet composition of solenette was dominated by meiofauna, mainly harpacticoid copepods. Macrofauna prey species, namely juveniles of bivalves and echinoderms became important in spring. An increase in amphipods and cumaceans was found in the stomach contents during summer and autumn, simultaneously with their increased abundance in the benthic infauna. In contrast, polychaetes were rarely found in the diet, but dominated the infauna during all seasons.Diet composition of scaldfish was dominated by larger and mobile prey, and, during all seasons, was mainly comprised of crustaceans. Amphipods characterised the diet in both winters, while decapods such as Crangon spp. and Liocarcinus spp. were the dominant prey from spring to autumn. Additionally, juveniles of flatfish (Pleuronectids) and bivalves were found in the scaldfish diet in spring, replaced by cumaceans in summer. No dietary overlap between both flatfish species was found across seasons, indicating partitioning of prey resources between solenette and scaldfish. Their different feeding strategies and prey preferences, in turn were influenced by the seasonal variability of available prey.     

Spatio-temporal variations in reproductive patterns and population structure of Pasiphaea multidentata (Decapoda: Caridea) in the Blanes canyon and adjacent margin, North-western Mediterranean Sea

Pasiphaea multidentata is a deep‐water caridean shrimp fished in the Mediterranean in association with the commercially exploited red‐shrimp Aristeus antennatus. A previous study describes seasonality in the reproductive pattern of P. multidentata using external morphological parametres. This study assesses the spatio‐temporal variations in the population structure, sex ratio, ovary cycle and gametogenesis of P. multidentata from three different fishing grounds in the Blanes canyon and adjacent margin (North‐western Mediterranean) over an annual cycle. The oogenetic pattern of this species is typical of a caridean shrimp. There is a pool of previtellogenic oocytes at all times that develop from the periphery of the gonad towards the centre during maturation. Previtellogenic oocytes grow to approximately 200 μm before undergoing vitellogenesis. The vitellogenic oocytes are surrounded by a monolayer of accessory cells. The maximum size observed for a mature oocyte was 1420 μm. The oocyte‐size distribution confirmed the seasonal reproductive pattern of this species; in winter, the ovaries contained mainly previtellogenic oocytes, some of which start maturing in spring, resulting in a slightly bimodal distribution. In summer, the vitellogenic oocytes reach approximately 1000 μm and in late autumn the ovaries are fully mature and ready to spawn. There were no significant differences in the reproductive and population structure patterns of P. multidentata among the three sites, suggesting that the population’s distribution is not affected by the geomorphology of the area, in particular the presence of the canyon. The populations are dominated by females at all sites and all seasons, with the arrival of juveniles in spring. The seasonal variations in the reproduction and recruitment of P. multidentata and the lack of spatial segregation within the population are discussed in terms of the species’ known biology, the effects of canyons in energy supply to the deep‐sea floor and the relationships of this species with the red‐shrimp A. antennatus.

浙江檀头山岛周围海域夏、秋季大型底栖动物群落结构特征

为揭示现阶段浙江檀头山岛周围海域大型底栖动物群落现状,于2013年7月、2013年11月对该海域进行了2航次的大型底栖动物生态调查,20个采样站位共获得大型底栖动物55种,其中甲壳动物最多,有18种(占32.73%),其次是底栖鱼类(17种,占30.91%)、软体动物(16种,占29.09%),腔肠动物3种(5.45%),环节动物最少,只有1种(1.82%)。2航次共鉴定大型底栖动物优势种14种,其中葛氏长臂虾Palaemon gravieri、细巧仿对虾Parapenaeopsis tenella为2航次共有优势种,其余均为单一航次优势种,夏、秋季间种类更替率较高,为51.85%。平均生物量、丰度,夏季航次均分别高于秋季航次,方差分析表明生物量、丰度两航次间均存在显著差异(P0.05),远近岸间均不存在显著差异(P0.05)。对檀头山岛周围海域夏季和秋季大型底栖动物群落结构进行聚类分析和n MDS排序分析,结果表明,夏季、秋季20个站位均可划分成2个主要聚类组,对各聚类组内平均相似度贡献较大的物种主要是广温、广盐性的甲壳类动物,如东方口虾蛄Oratosquilla oratoria、中国毛虾Acetes chinensis、细螯虾Leptochela gracilis、葛氏长臂虾Palaemon gravieri、中华管鞭虾Solenocera crassicornis、三疣梭子蟹Portunus trituberculatus等。ABC曲线和多样性指数分析表明,檀头山岛周围海域大型底栖动物群落在秋季受到重度扰动,夏季未受到扰动。粒径分析结果显示檀头山岛周围海域沉积物主要是由较细颗粒的黏土和粉砂组成。CCA分析结果表明温度、盐度、水深、溶解氧是对大型底栖动物影响程度较大的环境因子。     

崇明东滩潮沟浮游动物数量分布与变动

根据2008年4-12月对上海市崇明岛东滩潮沟进行4个季节的浮游动物调查资料,研究了崇明东滩潮沟浮游动物的数量分布及变动。结果表明,调查区浮游动物总丰度较高,四季变化明显。受潮汐作用的影响,夏、秋、冬三季落潮时丰度大于涨潮时,春季涨潮时丰度则大于落潮时。浮游动物在6条潮沟的平面分布不均匀,春季东旺沙边滩区和北八边滩区的数量明显多于近团结沙边滩区,夏、秋季分别以东旺沙边滩区和北八滧边滩区的数量最多,冬季则以近团结沙边滩区的数量最多。主要优势种细巧华哲水蚤(Sinocalanus tenellus)、中华华哲水蚤(Sinocalanus sinensis)、火腿许水蚤(Schmackeria poplesia)、四刺窄腹剑水蚤(Limnoithona etraspina)和四刺破足猛水蚤(Mesochra quadrispinosa)等数量的季节、潮汐变化及各时期的空间分布格局差异明显,其数量分布情况决定了浮游动物总数量的分布。盐度是影响冬、春季涨潮时浮游动物总丰度分布的主要因子,水温则是影响夏、秋季涨潮时总丰度分布的主要因子。此外,径流及潮流等动力因素对潮沟浮游动物数量的时空分布也产生重要影响。     

长岛周边海域浮游植物分布及其环境影响因素

2013年春季和夏季对长岛周边海域进行了环境与生物综合调查,利用多元统计分析对长岛周边海域浮游植物分布及其影响因素进行分析。根据水环境分析结果对调查海域进行聚类分析,结果表明,春季(M1、M2)与夏季(A1、A2)均可分为两大类。M1与A2为高温高营养盐区,M2与A1为低温低营养盐区。调查期间,共发现69种浮游植物。硅藻为两季主要浮游植物,春季浮游植物细胞丰度远大于夏季。春季共发现1种明显的优势种,为柔弱几内亚藻(Guinardia delicatula(Cleve)Hasle)。夏季共发现5种优势种,分别为具槽帕拉藻(Paralia sulcata)、裸甲藻(Gymnodinium sp.)、圆筛藻(Coscinodiscus sp.)、离心列海链藻(Thalassiosira eccentrica)与具齿原甲藻(Prorocentrum dentatum)。影响春季浮游植物分布的最佳解释变量组合为温度(WT)、透明度(SD)、风速(WS)和溶解总碳(DTC)组合,其中,温度影响最显著(极显著负相关);夏季则为盐度(S)、活性磷酸盐(SRP)和N/Si组合,其中活性磷酸盐影响最大(显著负相关)。     

深圳沿岸海域净初级生产力的遥感反演及其时空变化分析

以深圳沿岸海域为研究区,以MODIS/AQUA卫星遥感产品为数据源,结合实测浮标数据修正了VGPM中叶绿素a含量的估算进而分析深圳沿岸海域净初级生产力的时空分布规律.研究表明:(1)深圳沿岸海域2014年2、5、8、10月的净初级生产力在空间分布上从近海向外逐渐降低,初级生产力整体呈现出"西高东低"的局面,且未有明显的季节性波动.(2)4个海区的叶绿素a含量均表现为夏季最高秋冬季次之,但各海区主要影响因素不同,珠江口主要受季风造成的浮游植物种类与细胞密度的季节变化影响,大亚湾主要受营养盐限制,大鹏湾的主导因素为湾内余流的季节变化,深圳湾的叶绿素a含量主要与浮游植物细胞密度的季节变化有关.(3)珠江口的初级生产力春夏季高于秋冬季;大鹏湾的初级生产力夏季最高,且季节变化趋势与叶绿素a表现一致;深圳湾的初级生产力夏季最高,且季节变化趋势与海表温度表现一致;大亚湾的初级生产力波动明显,夏冬季海洋初级生产力数值总体高于春秋季.     

獐子岛海域浮游甲藻及有毒微藻的年际变化研究

2011—2017年,每月一次,通过对獐子岛海域29个站位浮游甲藻的调查,探究浮游甲藻种群结构的年际变化特征。发现了浮游甲藻19属47种,其中原多甲藻属(Protoperidinium)种类最多为17种,鳍藻属(Dinophysis)和角藻属(Ceratium)各4种,裸甲藻属(Gymnodinium)和原甲藻属(Prorocentrum)各3种,膝沟藻属(Gonyaulax)和环沟藻属(Gyrodinium)各2种,原角藻属(Protoceratium)、夜光藻属(Noctiluca)和凯伦藻属(Karenia)等均为1种。浮游甲藻种类数呈逐年递增,季节上呈现夏季和秋季较多,春季次之,冬季最少。浮游甲藻密度变化区间为(2.376—339.323)×10~4/m~3,平均密度为65.479×10~4/m~3,亦呈现夏季和秋季较高,春季次之,冬季最低,但密度呈逐年递减,且不同站位间差异较大。调查期间,不同季节优势种类有相同性,如三角角藻(Ceratium tripos)、梭角藻(Ceratiumfusus)和亚历山大藻(Alexandriumsp.)为四季优势种,但亦有差异,如鳍藻(Dinophysisspp.)和夜光藻(Noctilucascintillans)为夏季和秋季优势种,网状原角藻(Protoceratium reticulatum)为冬季和春季优势种。优势种中有毒微藻呈逐年增多趋势,有毒的链状裸甲藻(Gymnodiniumcatenatum)、米氏凯伦藻(Kareniamikimotoi)和具尾鳍藻(Dinophysiscaudata)等非优势种在獐子岛海域首次发现。浮游甲藻群落的香农-威纳指数、丰富度指数、均匀度指数均为秋季夏季春季冬季,呈逐年递增趋势。近年来,獐子岛海域浮游生物群落甲藻化和有毒化趋势明显,可能与海水营养盐比例失衡、海水酸化、北黄海冷水团、双壳贝类大规模养殖等有关。     

Short‐term dynamics in fish assemblage structure on a sheltered sandy beach in Guanabara Bay,Southeastern Brazil

Short‐term dynamics in juvenile fish assemblage structure were studied to test whether the most abundant species show temporal segregation, in order to assess whether selected environmental variables could predict species groupings, and to examine the stability of sunset–day–sunrise–night differences. Samplings were collected at 3‐h intervals over 48 h on a seasonal basis between spring 2005 and winter 2006. Fish species richness and abundance were higher in spring, and the lowest values occurred in winter. Harengula clupeola occurred mainly in spring, whereas Atherinella brasiliensis peaked in summer and autumn. On the other hand, Trachinotus carolinus, Umbrina coroides and Mugil liza were abundant in winter. Although temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen were not found to have a strong effect on the abundance patterns of most species, they did appear to have a significant influence on assemblage groupings, according to canonical correspondence analysis and Spearman rank correlation. There is no consistency of diel usage patterns by a given species across seasons. The relative abundance differed between the time of day, which differed among the seasons; this further complicates an understanding of the dynamics of an assemblage. Studies of diel changes that pooled the sampling period as day or night can miss important changes that occur in a short time scale, such as a 3‐h period.     

浙江象山港岛屿春、夏季潮间带大型底栖生物的群落结构特征

基于2015年4月(春季)和6月(夏季)象山港主要岛屿潮间带大型底栖生物的生态调查数据,采用优势度、生物多样性指数、次级生产力、聚类、多维尺度排序及丰度/生物量比较曲线等方法,分析了主要岛屿潮间带大型底栖生物的群落特征和季节变化。结果表明:(1)春、夏季共鉴定出大型底栖生物52种,其中底栖动物与底栖藻类各有45和7种,春、夏季共有物种数为34种,短滨螺、中间拟滨螺、齿纹蜒螺、青蚶等11种为春、夏季共有优势种;(2)夏季平均丰度(2074.85g/m²)高于春季(1505.01g/m²),春季平均生物量和次级生产力(2373.75ind./m²,16.31g/(m²·a))高于夏季(2210.17ind./m²,12.17g/(m²·a));(3)春季Shannon-Weiner多样性指数和Pielou’sevenness均匀度指数(2.742,1.679)高于夏季(2.580, 1.623),夏季Margalef丰富度指数(0.716)高于春季(0.667...     

2018年烟台四十里湾及其邻近海域网采浮游植物群落结构的时空变化

本文基于2018年5月(春季)、8月(夏季)、11月(秋季)和2019年1月(冬季)季度航次调查,采用冗余分析(RDA)和Bray-Curtis相似性聚类分析方法,讨论了烟台四十里湾及其邻近海域网采浮游植物丰度、优势种组成、多样性指数、均匀度指数的分布特征以及浮游植物与环境因子的关系。本年度调查共发现浮游植物4门69属116种,其中硅藻门50属85种,甲藻门15属27种,着色鞭毛藻门3属3种,未定类1种(三深碎裂藻, Ebria tripartita)。浮游植物丰度在8月份达到年度最高值,为2.89×10⁸cells/m³,秋季次之,春季最低,春、秋、冬季浮游植物丰度均为～10⁵cells/m³。硅藻门在4个季节中均占绝对优势,除春季出现甲藻门(夜光藻)优势种外,其余季节浮游植物优势种均为硅藻门。相邻季节浮游植物优势种更替明显,未出现4个季节共有的优势种。浮游植物多样性和均匀度指数均在夏季达到最低值,分别为1.58和0.31。RDA排序分析显示,不同季节影响浮游植物群落分布的环境因子不同,总体来讲,...     

南沙海域虫戎群落特征与季风、管水母关系分析

根据2013年3-4月、6-7月、9月和11-12月4个航次的调查资料;分析南沙海域浮游虫戎亚目的种类组成、优势种、栖息密度和群落结构特征;并探讨季风转换对其影响及其与管水母的关系。研究海域内共鉴定浮游虫戎亚目12科26属63种。生态类群结构属于热带大洋性。优势种较少;共出现7种;其中;孟加拉蛮虫戎（Lestrigonus bengalensis）为唯一的年度优势种;优势地位显著。物种组成存在季节性变化;分为春季、夏季与秋-冬季3个群落。虫戎年均栖息密度为18.30×10-2 ind/m3;高数量区主要分布于近岸水域;数量季节变化不明显;但平面分布季节差异明显。虫戎年均丰富度、多样性、均匀度指数和多样性阈值各是1.23、1.28、0.33、0.48。虫戎物种组成随季风转换左右近岸低盐水影响程度而变化;群落结构、生物多样性和栖息密度平面分布随季风转换所驱动的表层环流结构改变而变化。虫戎群落分布与管水母间的相关性证实研究海域两类群物种间的寄宿关系。这种关系促使孟加拉蛮虫戎在沿岸低盐水影响下更易形成高优势度;而表现出类似近岸海域优势种优势地位显著的特点。     

Fish populations of the Avon‐Heathcote Estuary

Breeding seasons and sizes at first maturity for nine species of fish in the Avon‐Heathcote Estuary, Christchurch, New Zealand, were: sand flounder, Rhombosolea plebeia, mid‐winter to spring at 200 mm+; yellow‐bellied flounder, Rhombosolea leporina, winter and spring at 260 mm+; common sole, Peltorhamphus novaeieelandiae, did not breed in the estuary but reached first maturity at 220 mm +; yellow‐eyed mullet, Aldrichetta forsteri, spawned twice a year, winter and summer, at 220 mm +; kahawai, Arripis trutta, bred outside the estuary at 520–540 mm +; spotty, Pseudolabrus celidotus, spring to autumn at 200 mm for males and 160 mm for females; cockabully, Tripterygion nigripenne, spring and early summer at 52–57 mm +; common bully, Gobiomorphus basalis, spring and early summer at 45–50 mm+; and globefish, Speroides richei, spring to autumn at 147 mm + for males and 120 mm + for females. The successive stages in gonad development are described for these species.

In pelagic species, e.g., flatfish and kahawai, x² analyses showed that for most months females are more numerous than males, and that migration is of major importance. In (littoral species, e.g., common bully and cockabully, there is a 1 : 1 sex ratio in the breeding season, but this ratio subsequently breaks down.

The Avon‐Heathcote estuary was used mainly as a nursery area by juvenile fish, although some species, such as sand flounder, yellow‐bellied flounder, yellow‐eyed mullet, and cockabully spawned in the estuary.     

印尼穿越流区现代浮游有孔虫四个属种壳体的稳定碳、氧同位素及其意义

Horizontal and vertical distributions of δ~(18)O and δ~(13)C were investigated in shells of four planktonic foraminiferal species, Globigerinoides ruber, Globigerinoides sacculifer, Pulleniatina obliquiloculata and Neogloboquedrina dutertrei, from a total of 62 core-top sediment samples from the Indonesian throughflow region. Results were compared to modern hydrologic conditions in order to explore potential of proxies in reconstructing fluvial discharge and upper ocean water column characteristics in this region. Our results show that, in the Makassar Strait, both of depleted δ~(18)O and δ~(13)C of these four species were linked to freshwater input. In the Bali Sea,however, depleted δ~(18)O and δ~(13)C for these species may be due to different reasons. Depleted δ~(18)O was a result of freshwater input and as well influenced by along-shore currents while depleted δ~(13)C was more likely due to the Java-Sumatra upwelling. Comparison of shell δ~(18)O records and hydrographic data of World Ocean Atlas 2005 suggests that G. ruber and G. sacculifer calcify within the mixed-layer, respectively at 0–50 m and 20–75 m water depth, and P. obliquiloculata and N. dutertrei within the upper thermocline, both at 75–125 m water depth. N.dutertrei calcifies at slightly deeper water depth than P. obliquiloculata does. In general, δ~(13)C values of both G.ruber and G. sacculifer are larger than those of P. obliquiloculata and N. dutertrei at all sites, possibly related to depth habitats of these species and vertical distribution of nutrients in the Indonesian throughflow region.     

Biological data from sharks landed within the United Arab Emirates artisanal fishery

Landing site and market surveys of sharks landed along the Arabian Gulf coast of the United Arab Emirates were undertaken between October 2010 and September 2012 to obtain biological data from this artisanal fishery. Data were collected on the size and sex of 12 482 individuals representing 30 species. Maximum sizes of Carcharhinus sorrah, C. amblyrhynchoides and Hemipristis elongata were extended by at least 300?mm total length (TL) compared with published global maxima. The size at 50% maturity was determined for males of five species and this indicated that the males of smaller shark species (<1 000 mm maximum TL) in the fishery were largely mature. For many species, including Loxodon macrorhinus and Mustelus mosis, overall sex ratios were male-biased, indicating that sexual segregation is likely in those species. Furthermore, sex ratios for several species, such as Rhizoprionodon acutus, showed differences across seasons. Overall, the landings contained a high proportion of juveniles, causing concerns about the sustainability of this fishery. Biological parameters of a number of species differed from those recorded earlier for the region, demonstrating a need for additional local data collection to support the development of management measures.     

2015-2016年长江口及其邻近海域甲藻群落与阿米巴藻感染的周年变化

通过2015年2月-2016年1月间在长江口及其邻近海域开展的10个航次调查,研究了该海域浮游甲藻的群落特征和时空变化,分析了寄生性甲藻阿米巴藻宿主种类及其感染率的周年变化。研究结果表明：调查海域浮游甲藻群落结构相对稳定,共检出浮游甲藻类38种,膝沟藻目处于绝对优势,优势种全年既有交叉又有演替;各季节间浮游甲藻丰度差异不显著（P>0.05）,但各月间浮游甲藻丰度差异显著（P<0.05）;全年丰度在9.06×10³-6.10×10⁶ cells/L之间,其中4月份甲藻丰度最高,2月的丰度最低,全年的平均丰度为6.62×10⁵cells/L。调查海域阿米巴藻宿主甲藻种类繁多,14种浮游甲藻被寄生感染,感染率范围为0.006%-5.13%;该海域阿米巴藻宿主种类及感染率表现出明显的季节差异,夏、秋两季宿主种类较多,感染率也明显高于春、冬两季。     

Buoyancy regulation by Microcystis in Lake Okaro

Seasonal changes in ovarian activity were investigated in New Zealand turbot Colistium nudipinnis (Waite 1910) and brill Colistium guntheri (Hutton 1873), collected by commercial trawlers along the west coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Both species demonstrated group synchronous oocyte development, with a capacity for multiple ovulations within a reproductive season. During a 17‐h trawl survey, ovulated turbot were caught between 1500 and 2030 h, indicating a daily spawning rhythm. The turbot and brill spawning seasons were prolonged (late autumn to mid summer). A protracted spawning season confers some advantages in aquaculture.     

胶州湾微微型浮游植物丰度及其与环境因子的相关性分析

利用流式细胞仪对胶州湾微微型浮游植物4个季节的丰度分布进行了研究,并分析了微微型浮游植物与环境因子的相关性。结果表明,聚球藻的丰度在2.17×102—2.329×104个/ml之间,高值区主要分布在湾内西部和湾口海域;仅夏季、冬季丰度之间有显著性差异;夏季在垂直分布上差异显著,在B3、C4、D5连续站昼夜变化趋势基本一致,分别在13:00和3:00出现峰值。微微型真核浮游植物的丰度分布在1.028×103—8.651×104个/ml之间,主要活跃于湾内西部海域;四季丰度在垂直分布上差异不显著;春、夏季丰度明显高于秋、冬季;夏季连续站昼夜变化趋势与聚球藻基本一致。通过主成分分析表明,聚球藻和微微型真核浮游植物丰度在不同季节受不同环境因子的影响,在冬季与温度有关,温度升高,二者的丰度增高。在其它季节,二者丰度主要受营养盐等环境因子的影响。
