Influence of Rhodolith-Forming Species and Growth-Form on Associated Fauna of Rhodolith Beds in the Central-West Gulf of California, México

Abstract.  Rhodoliths provide a stable and three-dimensional habitat to which other seaweeds and invertebrates can attach. Although ecological factors affecting rhodolith beds have been studied, little is known about the effect of rhodolith species and growth-form on associated fauna. Experiments were conducted at three rhodolith beds in the central-west Gulf of California. Faunal abundance differed significantly in relation to rhodolith-forming species, but no significant differences were observed between different growth-forms. Rhodolith structure differs between the species Lithophyllum margaritae and Neogoniolithon trichotomum , and the combination of structure differences and rhodolith abundances may be responsible of the significant differences in faunal abundance and richness. Crustaceans, polychaetes and molluscs were the most important taxa in all three rhodolith beds. The amphipod species Pontogeneia nasa and the cnidarian Aiptasia sp. were dominant in both rhodolith beds, El Requesón and Isla Coyote, in Bahía Concepción. The Isla Coronados rhodolith bed was dominated by an unidentified harpacticoid copepod (Copepoda sp.1). Rhodolith species is more important than growth-form in determining abundance and richness of the associated fauna. Nevertheless, factors such as wave motion, depth, bioturbation and others should be considered when studying organisms associated with rhodolith beds.     

大气散射对采用归一化植被指数进行赤潮遥感监测的影响研究

1　引言近年来赤潮灾害在我国海域频繁发生,对沿海环境、经济和人民生产生活都造成一定的影响,因此对赤潮进行实时监测并业务化运行就显得尤其重要.赤潮遥感监测是目前常用手段之一,在实践中取得了一定的效果,但到目前为止还没有一种成熟的算法能用于业务化监测赤潮的发生.很多研究人员借鉴归一化植被指数(NDVI)阈值法、海表温度(SST)异常等来判断赤潮的发生,但归一化植被指数阈值法经常会出现误判或无法区分正常与异常水体的情况.该阈值范围由先验知识得到,没有定量的理论依据.归一化植被指数是陆地遥感中用以表征地表植物覆盖程度和健…

真鲷仔稚鱼微粒饲料中DHA与EPA最佳比例的研究

制备4种n-3HUFA含量相同,DHA和EPA含量比[m(DHA)：m(EPA)]分别为1．70：1,2．00：1,2．30：1和2．60：1的微粒饲料,探讨DHA与EPA的配比对真鲷(Pagrus major)仔稚鱼生长、存活和体内相关成分的影响。30d的养殖试验结果表明．m(DHA)：m(EPA)≥2．30：1的2种微粒饲料与m(DHA)：m(EPA)≤2．00：1的2种微粒饲料相比,真鲷仔稚鱼的生长速度和成活率,前者明显优于后者。该比例即m(DHA)：m(EPA)≥2.30：1应是真鲷微粒饲料中DHA与EPA的最佳配比。养殖试验结束后,对仔稚鱼体内相关成分的分析结果表明,仔稚鱼体内DHA的含量随微粒饲料中DHA含量的增加而增大。     

Biochemical Mechanism of the Eutrophication and Its Prevention—the Deep Treatment of Waste Water and Its Denitrification and Dephosphorization

Biochemical mechanism of forming the red tide is discussed in this paper.The existence of a large number of nitrates and phosphates in the eutrophic water is the prerequisite of explosive increase of algae and the forming of red tide.Reduction of eutrophication is an important approach to preventing the red tide.The method of deep treatment of the waste water and its denitrification and dephosphorization are introduced,and a new opinion on the red tide formation and fundamental prevention is put forward.     

Sugar and Lipid Components in Sea Foam near Kelp Beds

Abstract. A component analysis of the sugar and lipid fraction in foam layers around kelp beds on the South African west coast showed the following trends: In the residue of foam drainage of both 12 h and 120 h old foam the sugar fraction is represented by mannose (33–41 %), galactose (4–30%), fucose (3–29%) and glucose (19–26%). With the exception of fucose, the same components could be found in foam filtration. In the lipid fraction the main fatty acids are palmitic (23.3–27.3%), oleic (14.0–5.5%) and timnodonic acid (11.2–9.1%). Selacholeinic acid was only found in 12 h old foam while lignoceric acid could not be located in foam filtration. Against expectation mannitol was not identified in quantifiable amounts in foam samples although it is the dominant component of kelp mucilage, whose presence is of major importance for foam formation. Hypotheses explaining the lack of mannitol are forwarded. Component sugar and lipid content for 11 of foam was calculated and estimation of sugar and lipid content in an average foam patch (volume of 30001) is given. The importance of foam formation as a mechanism for binding and transfer of energy in the marine environment is emphasized.     

Shallow-Water Gasohydrothermal Vents of Ushishir Volcano and the Ecosystem of Kraternaya Bight (The Kurile Islands)

Abstract. A marine ecosystem in the crater of the Ushishir Volcano (Kraternaya Bight, Yankich Island, the Kuriles) showing gasothcrmal activity was studied for hydrographical, hydrochemical, and biological characteristics. Maximal changes in chemical and biological characteristics were observed in the surface water layer of 0–5 m. This layer had higher water temperature, was saturated with volcanogcnic carbon dioxide (up to 2000 10^-6 torr), ovcrsaturatcd with oxygen (up to 200 %), and contained high concentrations of chlorophyll a. Hydrogen sulfide was found in the surface water layer and at a depth of 15 m in the area of maximal effect of volcanic effluents.
The planktonic community is characterized by high rates of production and destruction of organic matter only in the 0–5 m layer. Daily vertical migrations of the ciliatc Mesodinium rubrum were observed, which caused "red tides".
Bacterial, algobacterial, and diatom mats developed on the bottom of the bight in the zone of gasohydrothermal vents and in areas of volcanic water seeping. The rate of organic matter production in algobacterial mats reached 33.4g C-rrr²-d^-l, chcmolithotrophy predominating. Bottom settlements had high population density and great animal biomass, which reached 10 kg m^-2 in gasohydrothermal fields. They obtain sufficient energy from primary production of microphy-tobenthos, algobacterial, and bacterial mats. Bcnthic species dominant in the bight were not found off the Ushishir Islands.
Some species of macrobenthos inhabiting the Kraternaya Bight differ markedly in size and biomass from the same species found beyond the bight.     

厦门西港海域硅酸盐浓度的变化特征

对１９８７年厦门西港赤潮调查表层海水硅酸盐等资料的研究表明，该海区表层海水中硅酸盐浓度的分布一般呈由湾口朝湾内降低的趋势，这在浮游植物繁盛的春季更为明显，硅酸盐浓度的日较差值春季明显高于冬季的。受浮游植物活动和咸淡水消长的综合影响，硅酸盐浓度呈明显的季节变化，介于１３．９－７２．４μｍｏｌ／ｄｍ＾３之间，春季为低值期，冬季为高值期，春夏季大，小潮时硅酸盐浓度呈显著变化，一般为小潮时的高于大潮时，文     

大亚湾一次赤潮生消期间浮游植物群落变化研究

2003年8月12日至29日,广东省大亚湾的哑铃湾海域发生了小规模的赤潮,经现场跟踪监测发现是由锥状斯氏藻Scrippsiel latrochoidea和海洋卡盾藻Chattonella marina形成的混合赤潮。8月13日浮游植物群落由锥状斯氏藻占绝对优势,密度达6.52×106cells·L-1,占总细胞数量的99%以上;8月19日为赤潮高峰期,锥状斯氏藻密度最高时达5.59×107cells·L-1,约占总细胞数量的91%;而海洋卡盾藻在8月20日密度达到最大值1.17×107cells·L-1,约占总细胞数量的28%。以锥状斯氏藻、海洋卡盾藻占总细胞数量比例的不同,可将各站分为锥状斯氏藻控制区、海洋卡盾藻控制区及混合区3类,随环境条件的不断变化,这2种藻的数量随之变化,此3类区也处于变化之中。与海洋卡盾藻相比,锥状斯氏藻更适于在温度较高、盐度较低的情况下生长。还初步探讨了赤潮长时间持续的原因。
