久效磷对雄性金鱼分泌细胞超微结构的影响

利用电镜技术观察了久效磷暴露条件下,金鱼中腺垂体促性腺激素细胞、生长激素细胞和促甲状腺激素细胞以及精巢Leydig氏细胞超微结构的变化。结果表明,久效磷对中腺垂体分泌细胞及精巢Leydig氏细胞膜系统的损伤最为严重,主要表现为垂体3种分泌细胞核膜水肿、局部溶解,染色质有不同程度的收缩现象,粗面内质网水肿,部分溶解呈空泡状;精巢Leydig氏细胞核膜局部溶解,染色质轻微凝聚,粗面内质网水肿,局部溶解,线粒体内嵴水肿、局部溶解。久效磷对金鱼中腺垂体促性腺激素细胞、生长激素细胞和促甲状腺激素细胞及精巢Leydig氏细胞结构的损伤是影响内分泌细胞激素分泌功能的原因之一。     

大瑶山西侧桐木铜多金属成矿亚带综合异常特征及成矿规律研究

通过分析桐木铜多金属成矿亚带地质-地球物理特征可知,研究区磁场特征较为简单,为平稳的弱磁场区,放射性场则呈现出明显的平行条带状特征,与断裂及地层走向相同。对重点异常开展了地物化综合研究,并以此为基础建立了该成矿亚带地质-地球物理-地球化学找矿标志,区内HF35等重点放射性局部异常具较大寻找铜多金属矿的潜力。成矿亚带受构造和围岩双重控制作用明显,但主要受桐木区域性大断裂控制,大断裂及次级构造所形成的构造破碎带对成矿最为有利。     

MODULATION OF TC GENESIS OVER THE NORTHWESTERN PACIFIC BY ATMOSPHERIC INTRASEASONAL OSCILLATION

The influence of intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) on TC genesis over the northwestern Pacific is studied through comparing analyses of the more and less TC years from 1979 to 2006. It is indicated that the ISO strongly affects the TC genesis. In the years for more TC genesis, the ISO is weak and propagates insignificantly in the area to the west of the Philippines, but the ISO is strong in the area to the east of the Philippines and propagates significantly northwestward. In this situation, the Walker cell shifts gradually westward from the tropical western Pacific to the tropical eastern Indian Ocean. Convergent winds appear in the lower atmosphere while divergent winds in the upper atmosphere, suggesting the presence of enhanced ascending flow over the 140-160°E region and a favorable condition for TC genesis. Moreover, in the years for less TC genesis, the ISO gradually becomes stronger in the area to the west of the Philippines and significant eastward propagation prevails from the eastern Indian Ocean to the area around 120°E; the ISO is weak in the area to the east of the Philippines. During these years, the Walker circulation gradually moved eastward, with convergent winds in the upper troposphere and divergent winds in the lower troposphere. Sinking motion was significant, unfavorable for the TC genesis over the Northwestern Pacific.     

Filter-feeder macroinvertebrates as key players in culturable bacteria biodiversity control: a case of study with Sabella spallanzanii (Polychaeta: Sabellidae)

The present study investigates the effect of the filtering activity of Sabella spallanzanii on the culturable heterotrophic bacterial community through the comparison of the bacterial diversity in transplanted polychaetes and the surrounding seawater. For isolation of culturable heterotrophic bacteria, seawater samples as well as polychaete homogenates were plated in triplicates onto Bacto Marine Agar 2216 (Difco). All the colonies grown were isolated, subcultured and identified by several morphological, biochemical and cultural methods. Some bacterial genera showed higher average abundances in polychaetes than in seawater (i.e. Lucibacterium and Photobacterium). Aeromonas represented a conspicuous component of the bacterial community both in S. spallanzanii and seawater. The presence of Cytophaga and Pseudomonas was also relevant in the examined seawater samples. The selective concentrations of some bacterial genera inside S. spallanzanii either by grazing on bacteria or their capability as bacterial reservoirs, provides evidence for the role of macrobenthic invertebrates as key determinants for microbial diversity.     

Effects of acoustic alarms, designed to reduce small cetacean bycatch in gillnet fisheries, on the behaviour of North Sea fish species in a large tank

World-wide many cetaceans drown incidentally in fishing nets. To reduce the unwanted bycatch in gillnets, pingers (acoustic alarms) have been developed that are attached to the nets. In the European Union, pingers will be made compulsory in some areas in 2005 and in others in 2007. However, pingers may effect non-target marine fauna such as fish. Therefore in this study, the effects of seven commercially-available pingers on the behaviour of five North Sea fish species in a large tank were quantified. The species tested were: sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), pout (Trisopterus luscus), thicklip mullet (Chelon labrosus), herring (Clupea harengus), and cod (Gadus morhua). The fish were housed as single-species schools of 9-13 individuals in a tank. The behaviour of fish in quiet periods was compared with their behaviour during periods with active pingers. The results varied both between pingers and between fish species. Sea bass decreased their speed in response to one pinger and swam closer to the surface in response to another. Thicklip mullet swam closer to the bottom in response to two pingers and increased their swimming speed in response to one pinger. Herring swam faster in response to one pinger, and pout and cod (close relatives) showed no behavioural responses to any of the pingers. Of the seven pingers tested, four elicited responses in at least one fish species, and three elicited no responses. Whether similar responses would be elicited in these fish species in the wild, and if so, whether such responses would influence the catch rate of fisheries, cannot be derived from the results of this study. However, the results indicate the need for field studies with pingers and fish. Based on the small number of fish species tested, the present study suggests that the higher the frequency of a pinger, the less likely it is to affect the behaviour of marine fish.     

Bioaccumulation of heavy metals and radionuclides from seawater by encased embryos of the spotted dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula

Encased embryos of spotted dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula absorbed six radio-isotopes (241Am, 109Cd, 57Co, 134Cs, 54Mn and 65Zn) directly from seawater during short-term experimental exposure, demonstrating the permeability of the egg-case to these contaminants. Embryo to water concentration factors (CFs) ranged from 0.14 for 134Cs to 7.4 for 65Zn. The 65Zn and 57Co CFs increased exponentially with embryo length, whereas the CF for 109Cd declined with length. Among different components of the encased embryo the egg case was the major repository (69-99%) of all six radio-isotopes that were distributed throughout its wall. Egg-case CFs were as high as 10(3) for 57Co and 65Zn, making it the major source of gamma radiation exposure to the embryo and potentially of radio-isotopes for continued absorption by the embryo, following the uptake phase of the experiment. The patterns of uptake by the egg-case approximated linearity for most isotopes and loss rates were isotope-specific; egg-case biokinetics were not greatly affected by the viability of the contained embryo. Within the embryo initial data on radio isotopic distribution show that the skin is their major site of uptake, as previously demonstrated for juveniles.     

一条具有宽阔尾随层状云区的中纬度飑线的中尺度结构

1985年6月11日,一条具有宽阔的尾随层状云区的强飑线经过美国堪萨斯—俄克拉荷马州的PRE-STORM中尺度网。本文应用由14个探空站得到的53个探空资料,对这条飑线在成熟价段和消亡阶展的运动学和热力学结构分别作了合成分析。分析表明,飑线系统有稳定的中尺度环流,一股由前向后的入流及一股由后向前的入流构成了环流框架。在对流区,高层辐散、低层辐合,整层上升。在层状云区,中层福合,高、低层分别为上升和下沉运动。雷达次级强回波区与层状云区高层的上升运动区相对应。在层状云区中低层有一气旋性涡旋。
