南海头足类资源开发利用研究

南海头足类资源丰富 ,文献报道的种类有 89种。在水深 40m以浅海域分布数量较多的种类为杜氏枪乌贼Loligoduvaucelii(Orbigny) ,在水深 40m以深海域分布数量较多的种类为中国枪乌贼L .chinensis(Gray)。渔汛期为夏、秋季。统计历年生产资料表明 ,头足类的年产量和占渔获物比例有逐年上升的趋势。随着底拖网捕捞技术的提高 ,头足类的密度指数有所增加 ,但并不说明头足类的资源就很丰富。若不注意合理开发利用 ,将导致头足类资源的衰退。限制和废除损害头足类资源的渔具十分重要。     

基于角质颚长度的头足类种类判别

本文根据2013 年8 月于舟山市沈家门东河菜场采集的5 种近海常见经济头足类(剑尖枪乌 贼、杜氏枪乌贼、金乌贼、曼氏无针乌贼和短蛸), 利用逐步判别和主成分分析法对其上、下角质颚 的各5 种长度指标(喙长、头盖长、脊突长、侧壁长、翼长)进行分析。结果显示, 这5 种头足类角质 颚长度差异显著(ANOVA: P<0.001), 其中以金乌贼的角质颚尺寸最大, 短蛸的角质颚尺寸最小。判 别分析显示, 角质颚长度适合用来划分头足类的种类, 综合判别成功率为96.2%, 其中以上颚侧壁 长、上颚头盖长和下颚脊突长对判定的贡献率最高。然而, 与之相比, 标准化后的角质颚长度则更适 合用来划分头足类的种类, 综合判别成功率达到100%, 其中以标准化下颚喙长和标准化下颚翼长对 判定的贡献率最高。主成分分析显示, 角质颚长度及标准化后角质颚长度对枪乌贼类和乌贼类的判 定成功率均达到100%.本文建立了一种基于角质颚长度判别分析法的头足类种类判定的新方法, 丰 富了头足类种类鉴定的技术手段, 为我国学者在相关领域的研究提供了基础。     

Behavioural observations of the common octopus Octopus vulgaris in Baía dos Tigres,southern Angola

Observations on the behaviour of the common octopus Octopus vulgaris were made during daytime and night-time sampling on an unexploited rocky reef habitat in Baía dos Tigres, southern Angola. The relative numerical abundance sampled was 0.47 octopus person^–1 h^–1 during the day and 5.33 octopus person^–1 h^–1 during the night, suggesting that the population under study was nocturnal. The activity patterns differed between sizes of octopus. Small octopus (<20 cm total length [TL]) were observed roaming during the night, whereas the large individuals (>20 cm TL) generally fed in their dens. This ontogenetic behavioural shift may be due to tidal constraints or could be a strategy to avoid cannibalism. Octopus inhabiting a shallow, small-boulder substratum made extensive modifications to their habitat, excavating dens of up to 1 m deep in the sand below the boulders. These dens were not visible during the day as the octopus appeared to retract the small boulders over their den entrances. This unique behavioural strategy is thought to be a means to reduce predation and reduce light intensity during the day. Octopus were not observed in the small-boulder habitat during the five hours of daytime sampling. With nocturnal activity and extensive habitat modification, it is likely that avoidance of predation may be an important driver influencing the behaviour of the octopus population under study.     

Campanian Climatic Change: Isotopic Evidence from Far East, North America, North Atlantic and Western Europe

Paleoclimatic settings have been reconstructed for the Campanian using original oxygen-isotopic analyses of well-preserved molluskan and foraminifera shells from Russian Far East, Hokkaido, USA, Belgium and some DSDP holes (95, 98, 102, 390A, and 392A) in North Atlantic. Early Early Campanian climatic optimum has been recognized from data on high bottom shelf water paleotemperatures in middle latitudes of both the western circum-Pacific (to 24.2°C) and the eastern circum-Pacific (to 26.4°C) areas and high bottom shallow water paleotemperatures in high latitudes of the Koryak Upland (22.4–25.5°C), which agrees with the data on the Campanian Barykovskaya flora in high latitudes (Golovneva and Herman, 1998) and Jonker flora and its equivalents in middle latitudes. Judging from the data on comparatively high bottom shallow water paleotemperature values in high latitudes, South Alaska (19.4°C) and the Koryak Upland (22.4–25.5°C), we also expect Latest Campanian temperature maximum, which has not been confirmed, however, for low and middle latitudes by neither of isotopic nor paleobotanic data now. Main climatic tendency during the Campanian (with the exception of Latest Campanian) has been learned from isotopic composition of Campanian aragonitic ammonoid shells from the Hokkaido-South Sakhalin (Krilyon) marine basin. In contrary to Huber’s et al. (2002) assumption, we expect warm greenhouse conditions during the most part of the Campanian.     

Some Aspects of Diet and Foraging Behavior of Octopus dofleini Wülker, 1910 in its Northernmost Range

Abstract. Diet and foraging behavior of Octopus dofleini in Prince William Sound and Port Graham, Alaska, were studied from collections of den litter, measurements of octopuses and estimates of live prey abundance. Based on 193 den collections from depths of - 31 to + 1.3 m, a diet of hard-bodied prey could be identified. The five most common litter species made up 80% of the litter remains, with nearly 30 species of various taxa malung up the rest. The proportions of major hard-bodied prey species in each litter pile significantly differed with depth of den, associated substrata, presence of cobble and geographical location but not with the presence of boulders or outcrop, the density of kelp or season of litter collection. Octopus weight was not significantly correlated with the size of prey remains although O. dofleini may take a wide range of prey sizes once it reaches 2.5 kg. O. dofleini was more likely to be found at sites with crabs, although no litter species was significantly preferred over its estimated abundance, and one species was significantly avoided. These results suggest that O. dofleini includes suitable bivalve and crab species in its diet in relation to live abundance, while at the same time exercising an element of selectivity, as some species were actively avoided. Comparison of litter remains from the northern-most range of O. dofleini with those published for British Columbia show that diet breadth was similar, but the identity of major hard-bodied prey species was very different for Alaskan octopuses.     

东海南部海域头足类群落结构特征及其与环境关系

根据2008年春(5月)、夏(8月)、秋(11月)、冬(2009年2月)四季东海区桁杆拖虾网调查期间所采集的头足类资料,分析了东海南部海域头足类种类组成及优势种,采用生态多样性指数分析了群落物种多样性,并运用典范对应分析法研究了头足类群落变化与主要环境因子的关系。结果表明:东海南部海域共捕获头足类22种,隶属于3目6科8属,优势种主要有神户乌贼(Sepia kobiensis)、双喙耳乌贼(Sepiola birostrata)、短蛸(Octopus ocellutus)和杜氏枪乌贼(Loligo duvaucelii)等;种类丰富度指数D变化范围为0—1.30,多样性指数H′变化范围为0—1.69,均匀度指数J变化范围为0.02—1.00,t检验表明,各群落多样性指数四季之间的差异均不显著(P0.05);根据典范对应分析认为,底层水温为影响调查海域头足类种类组成的主要环境因子。     

台湾海峡及邻近海域4种头足类的食性和营养级研究

本文研究中国枪乌贼、杜氏枪乌贼、目乌贼和短蛸4种头足类的食性与营养级.结果表明,中国枪乌贼和杜氏枪乌贼整年摄食率都高,目乌贼在春、夏季高,短蛸则在秋季摄食率高.4种头足类胃饱满系数皆呈现明显的季节变化.中国枪乌贼属游泳生物食性类型,杜氏枪乌贼和目乌贼属游泳动物和底栖动物混合食性类型,短蛸属浮游动物和底栖生物食性类型.4种头足类混合饵料的营养级分别为2.62、2.85、2.88和2.04级,均处于第三营养层次.其食物的重叠指数均超过0.7,食物重叠明显,对该海域的鱼类、甲壳动物(长尾类和短尾类)、头足类、糠虾类、端足类、樱虾类、腹足类等饵料生物存在激烈的竞争.     

东海头足类的数量分布与可持续利用

根据1994年6月～1996年5月和2004～2006年对东海大陆架25°30′N～33°30′N,128°00′E以西海域调查资料,对头足类的数量分布进行研究.结果表明:头足类数量分布高峰期出现在夏季,渔获率为26.9 kg·h-1,其次是秋季,为16. 5 kg·h-1,春季最低,只有8.7 kg·h-1.其渔获量分布以6～12月密度较高,密集中心出现在舟山渔场东南部和鱼山渔场、温台渔场外侧水深80～100 m海域.东海实施伏季底拖网休渔制度后,头足类产卵场得到保护,但头足类夏季高峰失去利用,渔获率下降了14. 7%.建议调整作业结构,调整捕捞季节,在夏季高峰季节发展光诱作业和鱿钓作业,上半年进行养护,集中在下半年进行利用,以提高头足类资源的产业效益.
