南沙群岛海域岛礁鱼类资源的开发现状和开发潜力

南沙群岛海域蕴藏着丰富的礁栖性鱼类资源,是我国珊瑚礁渔业的主要作业渔场.根据近年来的渔业生产数据对开发现状进行了评价,判断南沙群岛岛礁鱼类资源尚处于轻度开发状态.通过采用初级生产力方法估算,南沙群岛岛礁水域鱼类的年生产量不低于2.1t·km-2,以年生产量的50%估算,潜在渔获量不少于5.5万t.     

南沙群岛永暑礁工程地质特性

运用现场钻探和浅地震勘探等方法,发现珊瑚礁弱胶结礁灰岩具有礁绷高而内礁平坪和湖低的岩盆现象,并认为此岩盆现象有利于礁体工程地质稳定性的礁体的成长发展。另外,还采用原位土工程测试和室内工试验等手段研究了珊瑚砂的礁灰岩的物理力学特性,指出了珊瑚钙质砂具有高内摩擦角、高孔隙比、颗粒易破碎、颗粒形状不规则等特性,是一种不利于桩基工程建设的特殊性土,值得深入研究。     

东沙隆起台地生物礁、滩油藏成藏条件及勘探思路探讨

东沙隆起碳酸盐岩台地生物礁、滩油藏的勘探,是珠江口盆地(东部)重要的勘探领域之一。勘探实践证实,惠州凹陷烃源岩、断至凹陷深部的断裂、珠海组优质砂岩、明确的构造脊、良好的生物礁礁滩储层和上覆的厚层海相泥岩,共同构成了东沙隆起地区油气长距离运移成藏的特殊地质条件。随着近年来高精度3D地震资料的进一步覆盖和地质认识的逐步深入,综合利用各种地质、地球物理新方法和新技术,确定生物礁、滩油藏勘探的有利区带,建立碳酸盐岩台地及生物礁沉积、演化模式,确定有利的生物礁、滩圈闭,是该地区生物礁、滩油藏勘探的重要方向。     

Opportunistic Feeding in Mediterranean Blennioid Fishes (Blenniidae and Tripterygion) as Revealed by Experimental Food Provisioning in the Field

Abstract. Consistent differences were found in trophic opportunism between species and between sexes by food provisioning experiments in an assemblage of 15 species of Mediterranean blennioid fishes. The degree of trophic opportunism in the different species was significantly and positively correlated with body size and two features indicative for intensity of male parental care. The degree of trophic opportunism correlated neither with trophic level, depth distribution, or relative abundance. Females of all species in which sex could be distinguished visited the feeding stations at higher frequencies than conspecific males.     

Distribution patterns of larval and juvenile fishes at offshore petroleum platforms in the north-central Gulf of Mexico

Vertical and horizontal distribution patterns of larval and juvenile fishes were described from five offshore petroleum platforms in the north-central Gulf of Mexico. Light traps and passively-fished plankton nets were used nocturnally between 1995–2000 to collect fishes in surface and deep (15–23 m depth) waters within the platform structure, and light traps were also used in surface waters directly down-current of the platforms. Light traps fished at the surface, as opposed to at-depth, collected greater CPUEs and greater diversity of larval and juvenile fishes. Of the dominant taxa collected by light traps, clupeids, engraulids, synodontids, and presettlement blenniids were most common in surface waters within the platform, while postflexion scombrids and settlement-size blenniids and pomacentrids were most common in surface waters down-current of the platforms. Deep plankton nets collected greater densities of non-clupeiform larval fishes, although surface plankton nets collected greater numbers of taxa. The vertical distribution patterns described for dominant larval fish collected by plankton nets were generally consistent with those from other studies, i.e. clupeid, carangid, sciaenid and scombrid larvae more abundant in surface waters at platforms, and synodontid, bregmacerotid, gobiid and bothid larvae more abundant in deeper waters. Oil and gas platforms likely impact larval and juvenile fish populations, particularly considering their proliferation in the Gulf (i.e., over 4000 platforms). The results from this study provide valuable baseline information for future research investigating how platforms impact the life history stages of fish populations.     

Resource Management of Precious Corals:

Abstract. Precious corals as a group consist of a variety of species which belong to several classes of Anthozoan corals. In general, all are long lived, slow growing and are characterized by slow rates of annual recruitment and adult mortality. In favorable environments, where large beds of commercial quantity exist, their life history parameters often approximate steady state. In such instances, fishery management models in which the assumption of steady state is explicit, can be applied to their management. In this paper, the history and ecology of precious corals are reviewed in light of modern attempts of resource management using fishery models. In Hawaii, the BEVERTON and HOLT model has been adapted for the management of black, pink and gold coral species. The application of this model as it applies to precious corals is described and an example is given illustrating that it can also be used for shallow water reef building corals which form discrete colonies.     

珊瑚礁海岸侵蚀的研究方法

珊瑚礁海岸海滩和礁坪是海岸作用是活跃的部分，也是近几十年来与海岸发育，海岸侵蚀联系最密切的部分，这一部分高潮时被淹没，低潮时完全出露或大部分出露，使得在此进行地质填图成为可能，这样的地质图可以提供许多信息，如沉积物粒度分布规律，沉积物来源和搬运方向，海滩岩所指示的古海岸线位置，人类活动特别是海岸工程对沉积物分布的影响以及海岸线的变化过程和趋势，在礁坪上开挖的人工水道内测流，能够了解水流的性质以及是否有足够的速度搬运沉积物，从而了解人工水道对海岸的影响和预测海岸的状态，这些方法也可以用于大陆泥质和砂质第岸侵蚀的研究。     

大亚湾珊瑚礁痕量金属的研究

作者采用阳极溶出伏安法测定大亚湾珊瑚礁痕量金属铜、铅、镉的含量 ,并讨论了相关的影响因素。测定结果发现 :A组、B组珊瑚礁礁体中铜、铅、镉的含量从里到外有递增的趋势 ,这与近年来大亚湾水体中铜、铅、镉含量的变化是一致的。而 A组珊瑚礁变化明显 ;B组珊瑚礁礁体中铜、铅、镉含量呈现较复杂的变化。分析认为 ,这是因珊瑚礁的形成受多种因素影响所致 :(1)海水组成对珊瑚礁化学成分的影响 ;(2 )海洋生物种类、数量及其矿物组成是制约元素分布的主要因素 ;(3)陆源碎屑组分对大亚湾珊瑚礁的化学组成有一定的影响。各因素在不同情况下所起的作用不同。     

The Bryozoan Rhynchozoon larreyi (Audouin, 1826)–A Successful Competitor in Coral Reef Communities of the Red Sea

Abstract. Rhynchozoon larreyi (A udouin , 1826) is a successful competitor for space in sessile reef communities at Port Sudan and Eilat (Red Sea). At these localities it has always been found in association with Zanclea sp. The relationship between the two species is regarded as mutualistic. The hydroid benefits through association with a successful spatial competitor; the bryozoan gains advantage through protection of its surface from predation and fouling. Morphological modification of the bryozoan colony in response to this association leads to a highly organized reticulate surface pattern, which provides both symbionts with access to feeding currents.
