新生产力——一个新的海洋学研究领域

新生产力的概念最初由Dugdale等(1967)提出,近年来由于全球变化研究的发展,赋予了新的含义。它不仅反映了海区的群落净生产能力,同时也是海洋真光层对于大气中CO_2的净吸收的一种度量。新生产力研究已经成为当今海洋研究的前沿领域,它涉及海洋生态学、生物海洋学、生物地球化学和物理海洋学的研究,具有重要的理论意义和实际意义。新生产力的基本研究方法是~(15)N示踪法,此外,还可应用沉积物捕集器法、f比推算法、物理模型法、真光层净产氧量法、~(234)Th滞留时间法、物质通量模型法以及遥感等方法进行观测或推算。新生产力的研究已被纳入一些国际重大联合研究计划,如JGOFS,GLOBEC等,在短短的几年时间里已取得了迅速的发展,90年代将在更大范围和深度上展开研究,并将对全球新生产力水平有一个较精确和全面的了解。     

Contaminant transport modeling in marine clays

The need to develop various offshore containment systems encourages the contaminant transport study in marine clays. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to examine six cases of contaminant transport in marine clays. Adequate literature background on the chemical diffusion of soils, and the earlier reported modeling techniques relevant to the present work have been highlighted. These methods enable a rapid examination of the impact of contaminant physical properties on the environment over a period of time. The numerical results of this study help to understand the chemicals transport phenomena in the marine environment especially at sea bed.     

海洋纤毛虫一新属,伪小双虫属及新组合──拉氏伪小双虫

于１９９１年４月在青岛－贝类养殖池中采集到一大型腹毛目纤毛虫。研究表明，该纤毛虫代表一新属（伪小双虫属）并由此建立起一新组合－拉氏伪小双虫。该属特征为：左右各有一列纵行的腹棘毛，其右侧一列前端与口围带相接；有额、口棘毛分化；横棘毛高度发达并上行至虫体胞口后方。

海洋沉积物中总硅的分光光度法测定

本文采用聚四氟乙烯高压罐消化海洋沉积物。这种密闭的消化体系避免了硅的挥发损失和玷污,能达到对高含量硅沉积物的完全消化,并且消除了氢氟酸的干扰;采用分光光度法测定总硅,简化了操作步骤,加快了测定速度。本法的精密度为0.8％,回收率为99—lOl％,测定水系沉积物标准样品的结果与推荐值的相对偏差小于O.5％。本法已应用于台湾海峡沉积物总硅的测定,获得满意的结果。     

The Ecology of Amorphous Aggregations (Marine Snow) in the Northern Adriatic Sea:

Abstract. In the water-column of the Gulf of Trieste (Northern Adriatic Sea) flocculent, amorphous aggregates known as marine snow reach maximum density and dimensions up to 20cm in diameter during summer months. Sampling of these fragile macro-aggregates was carried out by SCUBA-divers.
A large detrital component was found to be embedded in an organic matrix together with a large array of intact phytoplankton species. Heterotrophic bacterial density ranged from 2–65 × 10⁸ cells-g^-1 (marine snow dry wt) and is therefore of the same order of magnitude as in the surface layer of the sediments of the Gulf. In terms of biomass, bacteria reached only 30–95% of heterotrophic microflagellates.
A mean abundance of marine snow of 5g (marine snow dry wt) m^-3 was obtained for the water-column above the pyenolinc. At this boundary layer, however, a mean abundance of about 10g (marine snow dry wt) m^-3 led to the formation of a distinct, 10-50cm thick layer. Based on these data and sedimentation rates of marine snow to the pyenoclinc (38 g [marine snow dry wt] m^-2 d^-1) the potential ecological significance of these macro-aggregates for the pelagic system of the Gulf of Trieste is discussed.     

Recovery of polluted ecosystems: the case for long-term studies

Recovery of marine ecosystems from pollution has tended to receive less attention than the study of new or continuing impacts, but such studies are important in charting recovery from acute incidents and following legislation to deal with chronic contamination. Recovery is inevitably a long-term process, and where such studies have been made they are often too short-lived. Interest quickly wanes following an acute incident and governmental bodies rapidly switch to new legislative priorities for chronic inputs. We review three case studies: recovery of dogwhelk populations after local extinction by tributyl tin leachates from anti-fouling paints; recovery of rocky shore communities from oil spills; and recovery of estuarine ecosystems from industrial and urban development. We then make some generalisations about recovery processes before making a plea for long-term studies of polluted areas.     

Direct barite determination using SEM/EDS-ACC system: implication for constraining barium carriers and barite preservation in marine sediments

Barite (BaSO₄) in marine sediments is considered as a proxy of surface ocean productivity and is widely used for paleo-productivity reconstructions. However, direct barite determination is not achieved by currently used methods, which rely on the measurement of total barium by inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and correction from the allogenic Ba contribution. We report here on a technique that directly counts individual barite crystals using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled to an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) equipped with an automated particle counting and classification (ACC) system. We show that barite–Ba concentrations can be deduced from the abundance, shape and size distributions of barite crystals with current precision and sensitivity as high as ±5 wt.% (2σ confidence limit) and 10 ppm, respectively. This technique, coupled with ICP-MS and INAA techniques for total Ba measurements, was applied to sediment samples from the tropical North Atlantic and the Central North Pacific oceans. Results show that: (1) barite and detrital aluminosilicates are the two main carriers of Ba in the investigated sediments; (2) calculated Ba/Al ratios range from 0.005 to 0.008 with an average value around 0.0066, in close agreement with previously reported values; (3) barite might not be the major source for released barium out of sediments and we suggest instead adsorbed barium as a potential source.     

Murky waters: Media reporting of marine protected areas in South Australia

Given the public's limited knowledge of marine environments, informing the public about marine protection presents a unique challenge. Studies have shown a well-informed public is more likely to support environmental issues and that newspapers, in particular, are considered a credible media source. This research investigates media representations of current South Australian efforts to establish a marine protected area (MPA). Articles from five newspapers between 1999 and 2006 were examined for content in the following areas: local marine ecology, the policy process of MPA establishment and stakeholder views. The research found that newspapers concentrated their reporting on opposing stakeholders, opinions and were largely ineffective in conveying the significance of the local marine ecology, the economic benefits of the MPA, and the delayed establishment process. These information gaps have left the public poorly informed, and therefore, there is unlikely to be significant pressure to overcome the continued delays in the establishment process.
