Decline of Pseudodiaptomus hessei (Copepoda, Calanoida) in two water bodies located in the Senegal River hydrosystem (West Africa): Hypotheses and perspectives

Pseudodiaptomus hessei is a key species in many water bodies in the Senegal River hydrosystem but it became rare or completely disappeared from two ecosystems (Lake Guiers and Dakar Bango Reservoir; Senegal, West Africa) after major hydrological changes caused by human action, mainly impoundments on the river in 1985, and the opening of a new estuary mouth in 2003. Kâ et al. [Kâ, S., Pagano, M., Ba, N., Bouvy, M., Leboulanger, C., Arfi, R., Thiaw, O.T., Ndour, E.H.M., Corbin, D., Defaye, D., Cuoc, C., Kouassi, E., 2006. Zooplankton distribution related to environmental factors and phytoplankton in a shallow tropical lake (Lake Guiers, Senegal, West Africa). International Review of Hydrobiology 91(5), 389–405] put forward several hypotheses to explain the reasons for this decline: salinity and chemical changes in the water, predation by a cyclopid predator Mesocyclops ogunnus and/or the inhibiting effects of cyanobacteria and/or diatoms (allelopathy). This study assessed these hypotheses by studying the distribution of P. hessei in 13 stations (including the Dakar Bango reservoir and Lake Guiers) in relation to physical, chemical and biological (phyto- and zooplanktons) factors at each station. We produced a distribution pattern for this species in the Senegal River hydrosystem. Rank correlations and principal component analysis showed that P. hessei was not correlated with conductivity but was positively correlated with pH and alkalinity, suggesting chemical effects. The clear association with two filamentous cyanobacteria (Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii and Anabaena sp.) did not appear to support the hypothesis of cyanobacteria inhibition but blooming conditions were never encountered during the study. Negative correlation with diatoms (especially with Fragilaria sp.) suggested that aldehyde producing diatoms had a negative effect. Negative correlations with cyclopids such as Mesocyclops supported the hypothesis of cyclopid predation to explain the decline of P. hessei. This study proposes several lines of research for future studies to test these hypotheses.     

崎岖列岛海区的水文泥沙及其峡道效应

崎岖列岛位于杭州湾口北部海域,恰处长江口外海滨段南缘,是最靠近上海的岸外岛屿群(图1).对于近岸海区的水动力和泥沙条件的研究是港口航道工程建设和近岸海洋资源开发的一个重要方面.崎岖列岛海区的水文泥沙特征,是在该地区建设紧邻上海的岸外大型深水港及其航道迫切需要深入了解的重要问题之一.峡道通常是指其两侧为陆地或岛屿,两端与较宽阔海域沟通的狭长的海峡通道.峡道在水动力、泥沙、沉积和地形等多方面所产生的综合效应,即峡道效应.由南、北两列岛屿群构成的崎岖列岛其间水域形成了一定的峡道特征,这对峡道及其周围海区的水文泥沙必然产生一定的影响.

基于逆Stokes公式的测高重力反演中央区效应计算

为提高利用逆Stokes公式反演测高重力的精度,将中央区大地水准面高表示成双三次多项式插值形式,引入了非奇异变换,推导出了重力异常的计算公式。大地水准面高理论模型下的分析表明,该公式有较高的精度。以分辨率为2′×2′的大地水准面高数据为背景场进行了实际计算,结果说明中央区对反演重力异常有不容忽视的贡献。本文导出的公式可为高精度重力异常的反演提供理论依据。
