Cephalopods Burying in Soft Substrata: Agents of Bioturbation?

Abstract. Among the bottom-living cephalopods, those able to dig into soft substrata show special behaviour patterns involving coordinated mantle/funnel, fin, and arm movements. This activity is triggered by light, and in the euphotic zone thus occurs at least once in a 24 h cycle. Effects of burial on the sediments are considered, drawing attention to the likely chemical side effects, especially relating to the mucus released by burying cephalopods. Persistent burrows are produced only by some octopuses. Their burial activities and the sand/mud digging of many squids and cuttlefishes are likely to play a notable role in bioturbation.     

基于灰色系统的西北太平洋柔鱼冬春生群资源丰度预测模型

柔鱼（Ommastrephes bartramii）是西北太平洋重要的经济头足类之一,科学预测柔鱼资源丰度有利于其合理的开发和利用。研究结合1998-2008年北太平洋柔鱼生产统计数据和产卵场环境及其气候因子,使用灰色关联分析和灰色预测建模的方法,对产卵期内（1-4月）影响柔鱼冬春生群体资源丰度（CPUE）的产卵场环境以及气候指标进行分析,并建立柔鱼冬春生群体资源丰度的预报模型。结果表明,产卵期内影响柔鱼冬春生群体资源丰度的因子依次是:3月份产卵场平均海表面温度SST（average sea surface temperature）、1月份太平洋年代际震荡指数PDO（Pacific Decadal Oscillatio index）,4月份Niño3.4指标和4月份平均叶绿素浓度Chl a（average chlorophyll a concentration）。灰色预报模型分析表明,基于3月份SST、1月份PDO和4月份Chl a的GM（1,4）模型有着较好的预测效果,其预测准确率在80%以上,可用于西北太平洋柔鱼冬春群体资源丰度的预测。     

西北太平洋环境变化对柔鱼冬春生群体资源丰度年间变化的影响

The neon flying squid Ommastrephes bartramii is an economically important species in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. The life cycle of O. bartramii is highly susceptible to climatic and oceanic factors. In this study, we have examined the impacts of climate variability and local biophysical environments on the interannual variability of the abundance of the western winter-spring cohort of O. bartramii over the period of 1995–2011. The results showed that the squid had experienced alternant positive and negative Pacific Decadal Oscillation(PDO) over the past 17 years during which five El Ni?o and eight La Ni?a events occurred. The catch per unit effort(CPUE) was positively correlated with the PDO index(PDOI) at a one-year time lag. An abnormally warm temperature during the La Ni?a years over the positive PDO phase provided favorable oceanographic conditions for the habitats of O.bartramii, whereas a lower temperature on the fishing ground during the El Ni?o years over the negative PDO phase generally corresponded to a low CPUE. The same correlation was also found between CPUE and Chl a concentration anomaly. A possible explanation was proposed that the CPUE was likely related to the climateinduced variability of the large-scale circulation in the Northwest Pacific Ocean: high squid abundance often occurred in a year with a significant northward meander of the Kuroshio Current. The Kuroshio Current advected the warmer and food-rich waters into the fishing ground, and multiple meso-scale eddies arising from current instability enhanced the food retention on the fishing ground, all of which were favorable for the life stage development of the western squid stocks. Our results help better understand the potential process that the climatic and oceanographic factors affect the abundance of the winter-spring cohort of O. bartramii in the Northwest Pacific Ocean.

关于星座小卫星的编队飞行问题

从轨道力学角度来看星座小卫星编队飞行和星星跟踪中的伴飞，遵循着如下动力学机制：(1)在各小卫星绕地球运动过程中轨道摄动变化的主要特征决定了星-星之间的空间构形，(2)当星星之间相互距离较近时，在退化的限制性三体问题(实为限制性二体问题)中，共线秤动点附近的条件周期运动亦可在一定时间内制约星-星之间的空间构形．将具体阐明这两种动力学机制的原理和相应的星星之间的相对构形，并用仿真计算来证实这两种动力学机制的适用范围，为星座小卫星编队飞行和在伴飞运动过程中进行轨控提供理论依据和具体的轨控条件．
