应用世代分析法估算鱼类自然死亡率的初步研究

根据已开发鱼类种群的自然死亡率（M）在鱼类资源评估中的重要作用,讨论了1种应用实际种群分析（VPA）（亦即世代分析方法）估算鱼类自然死亡率的方法.文中假设了捕捞努力量（E）已知和未知2种情况,并同时求出了其他种群参数,如可捕系数,补充量等.在蒙特卡罗模拟分析中,假设了4种模拟渔业（管理良好的渔业,掠夺式渔业,恢复性渔业和稳定性渔业）对该方法进行了验证.并将von-Bertalanffy生长方程（VBGF）引入VPA模型来估算鱼类的自然死亡率.当CV等于20%时,在4种模拟渔业中鱼类各龄自然死亡率（Ma）的EP均小于10%.在已知单位捕捞努力量渔获量数据时,计算北大西洋长鳍金枪鱼（Thunnus alalunga）的M等于0.119,这个结果比先前假定的值（0.3）小,但考虑到该鱼种所承受的高的捕捞压力作者认为该估计值是合理的.     

基于长期密度试验的杉木人工林自然稀疏线研究（英文）

采用杉木人工同龄纯林26年连续观测数据,拟合Reineke(1933)经典的林分密度效应法则、Yoda(1963)基于欧几里德几何的自疏法则以及West, Brown和Enquist的分形几何(1997, 1999)。通过OLS、RMA和SFF算法得到7种枯损率区间(2%-80%, 5%-80%, 10%-80%, 15%-80%, 20%-80%, 25%-80%and 30%-80%)的自稀疏指数,对这些指数与考虑的几种法则相应指数进行验证。发现Reineke密度效应法则的指数显著区别于-1.605和-2,而不是预想的欧几里德分形几何结果。Yoda自疏法则指数在-3/2左右变动,但显著区别于-4/3。West、Brown和Enquist的分形几何式中指数参数既不趋向于8/3,亦不趋向于3。     

Aspects of the biology and fisheries of an economically important sparid Dentex macrophthalmus (Bloch 1791) in the Namibe province,Angola

The sparid Dentex macrophthalmus is a widespread, important fishery species along most of the West African coast from southern Namibia to the Mediterranean. In southern Angola it is an important artisanal species targeted predominantly by handline fishers. A biological and fisheries study was conducted on this species in southern Angola between June 2008 and July 2009. It was the dominant species in the artisanal fishery, accounting for 99% of the sparids captured and 67% (by mass) of the total catch. The life history of D. macrophthalmus was characterised by slow growth (females: L_t = 309[1 ? e^{?0.06(t + 5.43)}], males: L_t = 248[1 ? e^{?0.16(t ? 1.77)}]), advanced age at maturity (females: 7.4 years, males: 6.0 years) and high longevity (females: 36 years, males: 38 years). The sex ratio was 1:1 male:female. The length- and age-frequency distributions and macroscopic observations suggested that the species is a late gonochorist. Males and females reached 50% maturity at 151 and 166 mm fork length respectively. Although individuals with ripe gonads were found during most of the year, the peak spawning period appeared to be in December and January. Despite a life history that renders D. macrophthal-mus vulnerable to overexploitation, only 38% of artisanal fishers noticed a decline in the catches of this species. Potential reasons for this include: technology creep; limited pressure on the juvenile portion of the stock as a result of late recruitment (above the length of 50% maturity); the ‘basin affect’, whereby depleted areas are reseeded by areas (e.g. deeper water) inaccessible to the linefishery; and a deep-water reserve of large individuals. It is recommended that precautionary management strategies be implemented until the age estimates are revised by the countries in which this species forms significant fisheries.     

气候变暖下干旱对森林生态系统的影响

人类活动显著影响着全球大气循环格局,全球平均温度升高导致干旱事件发生幅度、频度和持续时间增加,这对森林生态系统带来更多的是负面影响.本文基于已有研究,系统总结了干旱事件对森林生态系统地理分布格局、群落结构重建、植物生长和生理特性、死亡和灭绝、植物生产力以及碳循环功能的影响及其机理,并对未来干旱事件对森林生态系统长期效应以及在不同时间尺度上作用机理的研究提出建议.本研究对开展全球变化背景下森林生态系统对干旱事件响应机制的研究具有重要指导意义.     

纳米银对青岛近海浮游细菌活性的影响研究

纳米银广泛用于抗菌材料、医疗设备和其他抗菌产品。在纳米银产品的生产、运输、消费和处置过程中,纳米银将不可避免地释放到自然环境中,而水生生态系统是纳米银在自然界中重要的汇之一。本文以青岛近海为研究对象,采集现场海水进行实验室模拟培养,通过测定(48 h)不同浓度纳米银(0.5、5和50 mg/L)短期暴露下对表层海水中浮游细菌死亡率、蛋白质含量、碱性磷酸酶活性及氨肽酶活性的变化,研究纳米银对近岸海区浮游细菌生长和活性的影响。研究结果表明,在纳米银胁迫下细菌生长和活性受到显著抑制(P<0.05),高浓度组在培养4 h后死亡率达到最高值88.20%,随着暴露时间延长,纳米银胁迫组活细菌数量缓慢恢复、死亡率逐渐减小;纳米银对碱性磷酸酶活性和氨肽酶活性的抑制效应分别在培养4和8 h后达到最高,分别为8.58%和32.55%,在培养16 h后,酶活性开始缓慢上升,表现出对纳米银胁迫的适应性;纳米银组的蛋白质含量在培养8 h后达到最低,相比于对照组降低了29.80%,在培养后期同样有所升高,蛋白质含量接近于对照组。由此可见,纳米银对青岛近海浮游细菌的生长和活性都具有显著的抑制效应;不同浓度纳米银对细菌的抑制效应不同,纳米银浓度越高,抑制效应越明显(P<0.05),具有明显的浓度梯度效应;在培养后期,碱性磷酸酶活性和氨肽酶活性都有恢复,蛋白质含量上升,细菌死亡率下降,表明细菌对纳米银胁迫表现出一定的适应性。     

First evidence of a massive recruitment event in Posidonia oceanica: Spatial variation in first-year seedling abundance on a heterogeneous substrate

A recruitment event of Posidonia oceanica was recorded in the Gulf of Ventilegne (Corsica, Western Mediterranean) in June 2005. One-year seedlings (alive and dead) were found at shallow depth (2–3 m) on a mix of rock and sand substrates. Pattern in the distribution of seedlings was examined over spatial scales ranging from centimetres to hundreds of metres. We also examined (a) whether establishment was preferentially associated with a specific substrate type; (b) the relation between proportional mortality and the density of established seedlings; and (c) the growth characteristics of seedlings. The average density of seedlings varied from 19 to 189 seedlings m⁻², with a maximum of 480 seedlings m⁻². While significant variation was detected at the scale of area (i.e., tens of metres), no difference was found in abundance of seedlings at the scale of sites (i.e., hundreds of metres). Most of the overall variability was, however, at on the smallest scale examined (i.e., among sampling units tens of centimetres apart). No differences were also observed in the establishment probability and seedling abundance between sand and rock substrates. The fine scale analysis of spatial patterns on rock and sand substrates showed a clumped distribution of seedlings. These results indicated that the spatial distribution of seedlings was not random, but organized at small spatial scales within the study sites. Hydrodynamics and micro-scale bottom features appeared to account for such patterning. Proportional seedling mortality was highly variable (ranging from 0.3 to 0.8), and tended to increase with increasing settlement density. A total of 128,000 seedlings were recoded over the 1600 m² surface area investigated. Such event reflected conspicuous seed supply and particularly favourable local conditions. This finding contradicts the current statement of low recruitment ability of P. oceanica and indicates that the species can recruit both on consolidated and unconsolidated substrates, at least in the study area.
