Atmospheric Correction of SeaWiFS Data for the Retrieval of Suspended Sediment in East China Coastal Waters

The data of SeaWiFS (Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor), installed on SeaStar, has been used to generate SSC (suspended sediment concentration) of complex and turbid coastal waters in China. In view of the problems of the SeaDAS (SeaWiFS Data Analysis System) algorithm applied to China coastal waters, a new atmospheric correction algorithm is discussed, developed, and used for the SSC of East China coastal waters. The advantages of the new algorithm are described through the comparison of the restdts from different algorithms.     

Measuring lysosomal stability as an effective tool for marine coastal environmental monitoring

The use of lysosomal stability in the mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis, as a potential biomarker of environmental contamination has been evaluated along the Portuguese coast. To this end, the neutral red retention (NRR) time was measured in mussel haemocytes gathered from nine different locations reflecting different degrees of anthropogenic contamination. Mussels collected in the vicinity of industrial and urban areas showed the lowest lysosomal stability. Additionally, no significant seasonal variability (winter-spring/summer) for NRR time was observed. In order to further support the usefulness of this method as an integrated tool for monitoring marine coastal environments, we compared the levels of xenobiotics in mussel tissues with the obtained NRR values. The results highlighted a consistent pattern, with the lowest lysosomal stability intimately correlated with the higher contaminant concentrations. In summary, this integrated approach further demonstrated that the NRR assay can provide useful and objective indications of the real health status of organisms subjected to different stress agents, being a valid option for environmental monitoring.

碳同位素质谱法探讨现代海洋有机沉积物来源

本文用NUCLIDE RMS 6-60质谱仪测定了长江口及邻近海区(北纬30°06′至31°15′,东经122°30′至124°30′)表层沉积物中有机碳稳定同位素组成(δ~(13)C为-23.6×10~(-3)—-21.3×10~(-3))、有机碳含量(0.4—0.1％),溶剂可提取有机物浓度及有机C/N比值。结果表明,从有机地球化学角度解释并证实了其他地学家在该区域的研完成果,即东海陆架泥质沉积物主要由陆源悬浮物和海洋浮游生物体混合组成,长江入海物质随着远离长江口而递减,大部分陆源悬浮物向东南运移,并沉积在东经123°以西的长江口区。     

Upper temperature tolerances of exotic brackish-water mussel, Mytilopsis leucophaeata (Conrad): an experimental study

The dark false mussel, Mytilopsis leucophaeata is an important mussel colonising the brackish-water systems of temperate and subtropical regions. Of late it has earned notoriety as a biofouling species in industrial cooling water systems. However, there are no published data on the temperature tolerance of this species. This paper presents data on the upper temperature tolerance of this mussel from the view point of biofouling control using thermal methods. In addition to mortality, response of physiological activities such as oxygen consumption, filtration rate, foot activity and byssus thread production were also studied at temperatures varying from 5 to 35 degrees C. Experiments were also carried out to understand the effect of mussel size, breeding condition, nutritional status and acclimation conditions (temperature and salinity) on the mortality pattern. The physiological activities were significantly reduced at temperatures beyond 27.5 degrees C and ceased at 35 degrees C. In 20 mm size group mussels exposed to 37 degrees C, 50% mortality was observed after 85 min and 100% mortality after 113 min. The effect of mussel size on mortality at different temperatures was significant, with the larger size group mussels showing greater resistance. M. leucophaeata collected during the non-breeding season (December-April) were more tolerant to temperature than those collected during the breeding season (June-October). Nutritional status of the mussel had no significant influence on the thermal tolerance of the mussel: fed and starved (non-fed) mussels succumbed to temperature at comparable rates. The effect of acclimation temperature and acclimation salinity on M. leucophaeata mortality at different temperatures was significant. Survival time increased with increasing acclimation temperature and decreased with increasing salinity. In comparison with other co-occurring species such as Mytilus edulis and Dreissena polymorpha, M. leucophaeata appears to be more tolerant to high temperature stress.     

海洋潜在的能源一天然气水合物

天然气水合物广泛分布在海洋和极地沉积物中。在这种沉积物中具备足够低的温度和足够高的压力使得甲烷气结晶变成水合物。由于水合物的广泛分布和其潜在的能源潜力—据估计其约为地球上所有化石燃料能源的两倍．引起了全世界科学界的关注。然而。至今为止对水合物的性质和分布还了解不够，还没有合适的技术能对水合物进行定量的评价。根据地形、海底温度、沉积条件以及有机碳等资料指出在印度近海具备天然气水合物形成的条件。因此有必要在印度大陆边缘系统开展地质、地球化学和地球物理分析，以识别和估算天然气水合物的储量，评价其资源潜力。类似“气烟囱”或气体溢出持征、地震剖面上的BSR、氯化物或硫化物异常都是识别水合物的有用标志。层析成像、AVO、波形反演是定量分析水合物和游离气含量的重要手段。此外，在地震方法无法识别的地方，电阻率异常也有助干天然气水合物的识别。本文给出一些划出水合物赋存区边界和定量分析水合物及其下伏游离气含量的重要研究成果和技术。     

海带硝酸还原酶活性的研究

硝酸还原酶是植物氮代谢过程中一种很重要的酶。研究硝酸还原酶的活性可以了解植物氮代谢的水平。植物吸收硝酸盐后，必须在硝酸还原酶的作用下还原成亚硝酸盐，进一步再还原成氨，才能用来合成蛋白质。在还原过程中产生的亚硝酸根一部分被植物释放到溶液中去，硝酸还原酶活性越大，溶液中亚硝酸根越多，所以从溶液中亚硝酸根的数量可以判断硝酸还原酶活性的大小。
