汉江中下游梯级枢纽联合生态调度对产漂流性卵鱼类自然繁殖的效应研究

为促进汉江中下游鱼类繁殖,2018年6月汉江中下游首次实施梯级联合生态调度试验.该研究在汉江中下游钟祥、沙洋、泽口、仙桃江段设置监测断面,采集鱼类早期资源,并在兴隆枢纽泄洪闸上、下开展鱼类溯流集群情况监测,以分析生态调度对促进汉江中下游鱼类繁殖的效果.监测结果表明汉江中下游鱼卵种类共有26种(属),其中产漂流性卵鱼类22种.监测期间漂流性卵径流量为143411万粒,其中四大家鱼卵径流量为4887万粒,占3.41%,推测汉江中下游有6处成规模的产漂流性卵鱼类产卵场.生态调度期间,坝下鱼类溯流集群随兴隆枢纽调度过程发生变化,钟祥和仙桃江段均出现两次鱼类产卵高峰,鱼卵径流量占总径流量的61.66%,并监测到四大家鱼卵,表明梯级联合生态调度结合区间来水,对汉江下游鱼类,特别是四大家鱼的繁殖具有积极的作用.     

盐度对菊黄东方鲀受精卵孵化和仔鱼生长的影响

比较在0、5、10、15、20、25、30(自然海水)、35、40、45、50等11个盐度梯度下,菊黄东方鲀(Takiugu flavidus)的受精卵发育和仔鱼生长情况,测定仔鱼的不投饵存活系数(SAI).结果表明:1)菊黄东方鲀受精卵在盐度0~50范围内均可孵化,最适盐度20~25.盐度(x)与孵化时间(y)呈正相关关系,表达式为:y=0.345 x+141.1,R2=0.956.2)实验盐度范围内,菊黄东方鲀仔鱼SAI值为1.55~30.10.3)在盐度5~45条件下,仔鱼皆可存活,存活率为3%~27%.其中,在10~30盐度下存活率较高,为20%~27%.经15 d的培育,仔鱼平均全长为6.28~7.34 mm.低盐度对菊黄东方鲀仔鱼生长更有利,在15~20盐度条件下,仔鱼生长较好,最终平均全长为7.30~7.34 mm.4)根据SAI值和生长状况,仔鱼生长和存活的适宜生长盐度为10~30,最适盐度范围为15~20.     

Resting cells of microorganisms in the 20–100 μm fraction of marine sediments in an Antarctic coastal area

We investigated the morphological features, vertical sinking fluxes, and number densities of the resting cells of ice-associated microorganisms in the 20–100 μm fraction of natural marine sediments collected from ice-covered and ice-free areas around Syowa Station, Lützow-Holm Bay, East Antarctica. We identified the resting cells of various taxonomic groups, including the spores of a diatom, cysts of three dinoflagellates, cysts of five oligotrich ciliates, and the eggs of a mesozooplankton. This is the first report of oligotrich ciliate cysts from Antarctic waters. The resting spores of Thalassiosira australis (diatom), cysts of Polarella glacialis (dinoflagellate), and egg type 1 sink to the bottom sediment during summer. Our results suggest that some planktonic and ice-associated microorganisms in Antarctic coastal areas send their resting cells to the bottom sediments as seed populations for the following generation.     

Estimation of spawning habitats of market squid (Doryteuthis opalescens) from field surveys of eggs off Central and Southern California

Like many other loliginid squid, Doryteuthis (Loligo) opalescens deposits egg cases on the ocean floor. Depending upon temperature, egg cases may persist for 5–12 weeks before the paralarvae hatch. Because of this relatively long duration and squid’s pelagic life history, egg cases provide a practical life stage to survey. During 2001–2002, squid egg beds in Monterey Bay, Carmel Bay, and around the California Channel Islands were surveyed using a remotely operated vehicle with the goal of delineating the habitat of egg beds that are spawned during active commercial fishing. Egg cases were highly aggregated and densities reached 1338 capsules m⁻². Squid eggs were significantly shallower in Central California. Egg cases occurred between 20 and 93 m around the Channel Islands, and in Central California they were between 13 and 61 m. The temperatures in both regions were similar (10–12 °C), with some eggs in Southern California found up to 14.4 °C. Ninety-five percent of eggs were found on sand, suggesting that temperature and substrate are stronger behavioral cues than depth to stimulate spawning. Suitable spawning habitat was defined by three criteria: sandy benthic substrate, temperatures between 10 and 14.4 °C, and depths between 20 and 70 m when the first two criteria hold. Additionally, within this defined area, oxygen concentration is quantified. The greatest commercial landings of market squid occur in both Central and Southern California during a time of year when water temperatures of 10–12 °C are prevalent in the 20–70 m depth range.     

恐龙蛋化石研究

20世纪90年代以来,随着中国和阿根廷等地大量的恐龙蛋化石(特别是包含有胚胎化石的标本)被发掘出来,恐龙蛋的研究取得了长足进展。获得的信息说明,恐龙是高度分异的庞大多样化种群,不仅它们的体形差异巨大,而且其蛋的形态、尺寸及产卵习性也有很大差别。在形态和尺寸上,有大小如鸡蛋、柚子、篮球、铁饼及橄榄球等;产卵习性上,有一次产多枚,杂乱堆积掩埋;也有一次产两枚,精心排列成圈等。     

华东白垩纪鸭嘴龙类恐龙蛋化石的发现

浙江天台白垩纪地层中最常见的蛋化石类型之一是赤城山组地层（锆石U-Pb法同位素年龄约92Ma）的树枝树枝蛋（Dendroolithus dendriticus）。对比河南西峡含恐龙胚胎的蛋化石,确定其为鸭嘴龙类（Hadrosaurs）恐龙所产。鸭嘴龙类恐龙在系统分类上归鸟脚亚目（Ornithopoda Marsh,1881）鸭嘴龙超科（Hadrosauroidea Cope,1869）鸭嘴龙科（Hadrosauridae Cope,1869）,建议树枝蛋化石也相应归入圆形蛋化石亚目（Spheroolithineae账oosubord．nov．）树枝蛋化石超科（Dendroolithoidea oosuperfam．nov．）树枝蛋化石科（Dendroolithidae Zhaoand Li 1988）,以便对应研究。从已知的鸭嘴龙类恐龙产蛋尺寸推算,浙江天台的树枝树枝蛋（Dendroolithus dendriticus）为身长不超过7m的恐龙所产,个体大小类似东北一蒙古发现的萨哈林日本龙（Nipponosaurus sachaIinensis）、李氏黑龙江龙（Amurosaurus riabinini）和姜氏巴克龙（Bactrosaurus johnsoni）。该蛋在巢穴里,无序放置,至少3层,常超过20枚,蛋壳具韧性,重力作用下呈扁球形。     

河南淅川盆地上白垩统恐龙蛋一新蛋种

河南淅川盆地的恐龙蛋发现与研究始于1974年,淅川盆地恐龙蛋具有非常高的多样性,共计发现4个蛋科、6个蛋属、6个蛋种,尤其以树枝蛋类最为丰富。近年来,河南地质博物馆对全省地质遗迹调查过程中,在淅川盆地再次有新的恐龙蛋类型的发现,本文对其中的部分标本进行记述,根据壳单元呈多分叉的不规则树枝状,蛋壳厚度为1.62～1.74 mm,锥体间隙明显,壳单元自锥体上部开始出现分枝,蛋壳中部大多具有3～4个分枝,近蛋壳外表面形成融合层,蛋壳具有复杂的气孔系统等特征区别于其他类型的树枝蛋类,建立一新蛋种:大石桥树枝蛋(Dendroolithus dashiqiaoensis oosp. nov.)。通过对淅川盆地恐龙蛋分类与对比、不同类型恐龙蛋在地层中的分布研究,将有助于盆地内白垩纪红层的划分,也将为秦岭东段各盆地中同一时期红层的划分与对比、古地理、古环境和古气候等研究提供更加翔实的古生物学证据。     

长江口水域春季鱼卵仔鱼分布及其与温度盐度的关系

利用2003年春季在长江口水域进行调查的数据,对该水域的鱼卵仔鱼的种类组成和数量分布、表层水温、盐度的分布特征以及它们之间的关系进行了研究。结果表明:共捕获鱼卵仔鱼13种,出现率为81.25%。鱼卵出现站位资源密度(CPUE)为1～760粒/网,平均每网采获鱼卵63.6粒;仔稚鱼出现站位CPUE为1～174尾/网,平均每网捕获仔稚鱼18.75尾。按照表层温度、盐度的变化,该水域可分为高温低盐、低温高盐、低温低盐三个区。鱼卵出现水域主要集中在高温低盐区;而仔稚鱼在长江口水域广有分布,但主要出现水域是高温低盐和低温低盐区控制的近岸水域,在远离海岸的低温高盐区仅有少量的分布。     

发头裸腹溞休眠卵发育的温度因子分析

测定了不同温度下发头裸腹溞(Moina irrasa)体眠卵的孵化时间及孵化率;取最先孵出和过半数孵出的两组数据依莱奥姆积温法则求得种群休眠卵最低临界温度为12.00℃,最低有效积温为441.61℃·h;最低亚致死高温点(即最适温度)为35.16℃,以及最低死亡高温点39.44℃。种群中过半数的临界温度为12.88℃,过半数有效积温为557.10℃·h,过半数的亚致死高温点为35.56℃以及过半数死亡高温点为39.49℃。讨论了这些参数在枝角类集约化培养中休眠卵的有效保存与启用所具有的实践意义。     

长江口及邻近水域夏季鱼卵、仔鱼数量分布特征

根据2001~2003年间,每年8月共3个航次对长江口及其邻近水域20个定点测站(30°05′~31°15′N;121°30′~122°50′E)鱼卵、仔鱼调查的资料,着重就该水域鱼卵、仔鱼的数量时空分布的年际变化特征以及有关的水文生物环境影响因子做了分析和探讨。结果表明,鱼卵、仔鱼的数量3 a的年际变化较大,2002年数量为高峰期。平面分布主要集中于长江口和舟山渔场内,杭州湾相对较少。种类以中华小公鱼(Stolephorus chinensis)的卵和仔鱼的分布最多,其变动直接影响总量的变化。盐度相对水温对鱼卵、仔鱼所产生的效应更为明显,降盐以及径流量的加大对鱼卵、仔鱼总量的增加产生一定的影响。而浮游桡足类的数量变动对鱼卵、仔鱼产生一定的作用。调查区内经济性鱼类资源量的日益减少,低值鱼类比例的增加成为资源结构的变动趋势。
