Transfer-function modelling between environmental variation and mesozooplankton in the Baltic Sea

Time series of freshwater runoff, seawater salinity, temperature and oxygen were used in transfer functions (TF) to model changes of mesozooplankton taxa in the Baltic Sea from the 1960’s to the 1990’s. The models were then compared with long term zooplankton monitoring data from the same period. The TF models for all taxa over the whole Baltic proper and at different depth layers showed statistically significant estimates in t-tests. TF models were further compared using parsimony as a criterion. We present models showing 1) r² > 0.4, 2) the smallest residual standard error with the combination of exploratory variables, 3) the lowest number of parameters and 4) the highest proportional decrease in error term when the TF model residual standard error was compared with those of the univariate ARIMA model of the same response variable. Most often (7 taxa out of a total of 8), zooplankton taxa were dependent on freshwater runoff and/or seawater salinity. Cladocerans and estuarine copepods were more conveniently modelled through the inclusion of seawater temperature and oxygen data as independent variables. Our modelling, however, explains neither the overall increase in zooplankton abundance nor a simultaneous decrease found in the neritic copepod, Temora longicornis. Therefore, biotic controlling agents (e.g. nutrients, primary production and planktivore diets) are suggested as independent variables for further TF modelling. TF modelling enabled us to put the controlling factors in a time frame. It was then possible, despite the inherent multiple correlation among parameters studied to deduce a chain-of-events from the environmental controls and biotic feedback mechanisms to changes in zooplankton species. We suggest that the documented long-term changes in zooplankton could have been driven by climatic regulation only. The control by climate could be mediated to zooplankton through marine chemical and physical factors, as well as biotic factors if all of these were responding to the same external control, such as changes in the freshwater runoff. Increased runoff would explain both the increasing eutrophication, causing the overall increase of zooplankton, and the changes in selective predation, contributing to decline of Temora.     

围隔生态系中叶绿素a浓度、化学耗氧量及透明度之间统计关系的研究

通过对水库中12个围隔两次取样的叶绿素a浓度(单位:μg/L)、化学耗氧量(单位:mg·O_2/L)和塞克透明度(单位:m)的实验数据分析,求得如下回归方程: (1)[Chla]=17.60·[SD]~(-1·86) r=-0.87 (2)[Chla]=-28.85+7.32·[COD] r=0.89 (3)[COD]=6.88·[SD]~(-0·68) r=0.91本文还对这些结果进行了讨论。     

超过例外氧暴露时限的空气巡回潜水实验中若干生理功能的观察

17名潜水员安全地进行了55人次超过美国海军例外氧暴露时限1.5—3倍的空气巡回潜水实验。生理功能观察和肺活量测定结果表明,在水深70m以浅,潜水员均保持了相当好的智力和操作能力,在连续3d 3倍氧暴露时限的巡潜后期,只有3人肺活量下降,且在次日测定时已见恢复,表明上述暴露是安全的。美国海军例外氧暴露时限中对于70m以浅空气暴露的相应规定显得保守。

江苏海域水环境要素分析——江苏海域环境质量分析之二

在1981、1991（1990）和1998年3次海洋环境调查的基础上，通过相同水质要素时空比较分析，江苏海域的溶解氧、磷酸盐、硝酸盐和亚硝酸 盐这4种主要海水化学因子具有时空变化特征，其高值区主要分布在灌河口、扁担港口、射阳河口、川东港和长江北支口北侧，且河口、近岸值高，向海含量渐小，不同年份、季节也有变化。沿海水化学性质主要受陆源排污（农田化肥等）影响，主要是入海河流携带污染物、海洋生物作用和本海域水体运动特征的影响，此外，溶解氧变化还受到水温变化的影响。     

麻醉剂丁香酚对黄腊鯵耗氧的影响

用不同浓度的丁香酚对体质量为 115～ 175 g的黄腊鲹( Trachinotus blochii)麻醉处理 15 min,每 1分钟测定容器内的氧饱和度 1次.实验结果表明,黄腊鲹的耗氧率明显地受到丁香酚的影响,在各处理组中以 10× 10- 6浓度组的耗氧率为最低( 0.33 mg/(g@ h)), 5× 10- 6浓度组次之( 0.42 mg/(g@ h)),而对照组则较高( 0.57 mg/(g@ h)).同时实验还表明经丁香酚麻醉处理的黄腊鲹鳃活动频率显著地比对照组低.此结果表明了在施用麻醉剂以后,鱼体的活动及对氧气的消耗有明显的下降,丁香酚可以作为活鱼运输过程中有效的麻醉剂.     

Seasonal Changes in Soluble Carbohydrates, Starch, and Energy Content in Mediterranean Seagrasses

Abstract. In all scagrass species investigated, rhizomes were the main storage organs for soluble carbohydrate reserves, and the highest levels were found in Cymodocea nodosa (U cria ) A scherson . Sucrose was the primary soluble carbohydrate identified in Posidonia oceanica (L.) D elile , and Zostera noltii H ornem . This disaccharide was dominant in Cymodocea nodosa roots, as well as in its rhizome in winter. Myo-inositol was the main cyclitol in Zostera noltii. In Cymodocea nodosa leaves 1-chiro-inositol was the main sugar component; it was also present to a lesser extent in the roots and rhizomes. The amounts of glucose and fructose were correlated with growth to a certain extent in all species. Higher amounts of starch were stored in the rhizomes of Posidonia oceanica and Zostera noltii. The energy content of Mediterranean scagrasses was significantly higher than in tropical species. No distinct seasonal trend in energy content could be observed.     

菲律宾海热含量分布及其变化的初步探讨

本文利用1986年及1987年秋季在菲律宾以东海域进行的CTD观测资料,分析了该海域上层海水热含量分布及变化,得出,热含量由南向北随纬度逐渐增大,这主要是北赤道流引起的等温线自南向北下倾造成的,另外也与南部和北部的冷涡和暖涡有关。本文认为,两年里热含量的差异可能与1986年生成的El Nin有关。另外,北太平洋赤道流体积输送量的变化与菲律宾海热含量的变化也有一定的联系。
