黄海春季表层叶绿素和初级生产力及其粒径结构研究

根据2006年4月对黄海浮游植物分级叶绿素及初级生产力的调查,研究了黄海叶绿素及初级生产力的水平分布及粒级结构特征,并分析了其主要影响因素。黄海海域调查站位表层叶绿素a质量浓度变化范围为0.20～4.94μg·L-1,平均值为0.96μg·L-1。叶绿素最大值出现在临近长江口的站位。叶绿素分级结果表明黄海春季以粒径〉5μm的浮游植物占优势。黄海表层初级生产力的变化范围为2.03～15.64mg·m-3·h-1,平均值为6.08mg·m-3·h-1。其中南黄海海域初级生产力平均为6.58mg·m-3·h-1,北黄海海域初级生产力平均为4.92mg·m-3·h-1。高值区分布在南黄海中部。受水体透明度的影响,低值区出现在临近长江口的站位。断面站位分析表明浮游植物初级生产力由北向南逐步升高,温度随纬度的变化是南北海域初级生产力水平差异的主要原因。由于粒径较小（〈5μm）的浮游植物单位叶绿素具有较高的碳固定能力,调查期间整个海区初级生产力以粒径〈5μm的浮游植物贡献为主。     

桑沟湾海域叶绿素a的时空分布特征及其影响因素研究

2009年4月-2010年2月对山东荣成典型养殖海湾—桑沟湾海域水体中的叶绿素a（Chl-a）进行了6个航次的监测,分析该海区表底层海水中Chl-a的质量现状,探讨Chl-a在桑沟湾海区的时空分布特征,以及与水温和营养盐等主要环境因子的相关性。结果表明,桑沟湾海域表层海水Chl-a质量浓度范围为0.36～9.77μg L-1,平均值为2.17μg L-1;底层海水Chl-a质量浓度范围为0.40～7.46μg L-1,平均值为2.14μg L-1。Chl-a质量浓度的季节性变化呈现一定的模式,夏季〉秋季〉春季〉冬季。Chl-a的质量浓度在春季和冬季呈现由湾内向湾外递减的分布特征,而夏季和秋季则没有明显的分布规律。垂直分布上,夏季表层Chl-a质量浓度高于底层,冬季则是底层高于表层,春秋2季表底层垂直分布比较均匀。相关分析显示桑沟湾Chl-a与水温呈较显著正相关,但与营养盐溶解无机氮（DIN）不具显著意义的相关关系。总体看来,桑沟湾海域Chl-a的时空分布受养殖环境状况、水文环境及陆地径流和外源输入的共同影响,贝藻养殖活动及营养盐的陆源输入是影响Chl-a分布格局的重要因素。     

大鹏湾中叶绿素-a的多年调查结果及其与环境因子的灰关联分析

依据1998-2009年145个航次的调查资料,简要描述和分析大鹏湾海水中叶绿素-a含量的空间分布和时间变化,并对其与各环境因子之间的灰关联进行分析。结果表明大鹏湾海水中的叶绿素-a含量夏、秋季较高,而冬、春季较低,且表层高于底层,平均为4．6μg-L^-1;由于受到香港和深圳陆源排放的影响,终年吐露港和沙头附近海域的叶绿素-a含量明显高于其他区域。lla（1999-2009）调查期间,香港海区叶绿素-a含量各航次均值的年际变化略呈下降趋势,表明大鹏湾海水的生态环境质量有所改善。灰关联分析结果表明各因子对叶绿素-a含量影响大小的排序为：亚硝酸盐≥硝酸盐≥5d生化需氧量≥磷酸盐≥酸碱度≥氨≥可溶性总氮≥盐度兰可溶性总磷≥溶解氧≥可溶性硅兰温度。     

长江口-东海陆架咸淡水混合影响下溶解性有机质的分布及荧光特征

溶解性有机质(dissolved organic matter, DOM)在河口区域的分布特征和环境行为对于研究河口碳的生物地球化学循环具有重要意义。本文研究了受强烈咸淡水混合影响的长江口-东海内陆架断面14个研究点位水体DOM的分布和荧光特征,并进一步探究了其与水环境因子的关联。从淡水端到海水端,溶解性有机碳(DOC)浓度逐渐降低且与盐度呈显著负相关,表明长江输入的有机质在该水域占主导地位。基于三维荧光光谱-平行因子分析进一步解析荧光溶解有机质(FDOM)组分,识别出一个类蛋白组分C1(Ex/Em:278/320)和3个类腐殖质组分C2(Ex/Em:290/385)、C3(Ex/Em:254(341)/424)和C4(Ex/Em:275/501)。在强烈的长江口咸淡水混合影响下,该断面4个FDOM组分的荧光强度最大值(Fmax)均与盐度呈显著负相关关系。具体而言,3个类腐殖质组分的分布主要受长江源类腐殖质在咸淡水混合过程中的稀释效应控制,而C1组分在中低盐度区主要受稀释效应控制,但在高盐度区则主要源于海洋自生源类蛋白贡献。大部分点位荧光指数(FI)介于1.4～1.9之间,表明微生物源...     

长江口柱状沉积物中有机质C/N比的研究

对长江口四个站位沉积物中有机质的C／N比在垂向上的分布进行了研究，在影响沉积物中有机质C／N比的环境因素中，上覆水体的水深、盐度、密度以及浊度对其有一定的影响．在研究沉积物中有机质C／N比的分布及其影响因素的基础上，进一步估算了陆源输入和海洋自生有机碳在这四个站位沉积物有机碳中所占的比例，结果表明，海洋自生组分占沉积物总有机碳的比例分别为：53．57％(8号站位)、20．34％(11号站位)，12．28％(17号站位)和32．73％(26号站位)．     

长江口及其邻近海域表层水体Co的季节分布

钴(Co)对海洋中的生物地球化学循环过程起着不可或缺的作用.河口是陆源物质进入海洋的重要界面，而Co在长江口界面的生物地球化学行为尚不明确.本文使用自动固相萃取-电感耦合等离子体联用技术对长江口及其附近海域2019年9月(秋季)、2021年3月(春季)和2021年7月(夏季)的表层水中的溶解Co进行了分析.结果显示，秋季Co浓度的范围在0.05—0.24 nmol·L^-1，均值为0.10nmol·L^-1；春季为0.05—0.37nmol·L^-1，均值为0.13nmol·L^-1，略高于秋季；夏季为0.03—0.54 nmol·L^-1，均值高达0.26 nmol·L^-1，浓度最高. Co与盐度、营养盐、叶绿素及溶解氧在不同季节表现出不同的相关性，表明长江口Co的行为受多因素的影响.长江口溶解Co浓度自河口向外海逐渐降低，整体表现为移除型分布类型.长江口Co移除率秋季>夏季>春季，向海有效输送通量夏季>春季>秋季.     

南黄海大型底栖生物次级生产力研究

根据2000年秋季和2001年春季在南黄海24个大面站进行的大型底栖生物定量采集样品资料,利用Brey’s(1990)的经验公式对调查海区进行了大型底栖生物栖息密度、生物量、次级生产力和P/B值的研究计算.结果表明,该海域大型底栖生物平均栖息密度在2000年秋季为154.2个/m2,与2001年春季的147.8个/m2相当,平均生物量以去灰干重计,秋季为6.92g/m2,远高于春季的2.81g/m2;年平均次级生产力以去灰干重计,为4.98gm-2a-1.与生物量的分别格局相似,次级生产力在所调查海域的西南和东南部有两个高生产力分布区域,而该二区域正好在黄海冷水团的两侧,由此验证大型底栖生物的生物量和次级生产力受海水温度的影响较大.平均P/B值在研究海域为1.10a-1.与渤海研究结果比较,证明了底栖生物群落生产力随水深增大而下降,P/B值随水温升高而升高.图2表2参31     

大亚湾浮游植物群落结构变化及其对水温上升的响应

大亚湾核电站1994年建成运行。文章研究大亚湾长时期的生态和环境变化,分析大亚湾浮游植物群落结构变化与环境变化,特别是水温上升的相关性。研究显示,网采浮游植物种类数目在1994年后减少了16种;1994—2004年间,网采浮游植物细胞相对密度以2.13×107m^-3·a^-1的速率下降,而在1985—2004年间核电站建站的下降速率为2.85×106m^-3·a^-1;与1982年和1994年相比,1998年的浮游植物群落优势种中细胞个体相对较大的种的比重下降,细胞个体相对较小的种的比重上升;从1985年到2003年,叶绿素a（Chl-a）质量浓度的上升速率为0.069mg·m^-3·a^-1,而1994年到2003年的上升速率加快,为0.076mg·m^3·a^-1。与此同时,大亚湾的水温在1994年后明显上升,海水盐度、溶解氧（DO）、化学耗氧量（COD）、和营养盐在1994年后变化幅度也增大。研究结果揭示,核电站热排放导致的水温上升是影响大亚湾浮游植物群落结构的主要因素。     

Sea-water seasonal changes at a heavy tourism investment site on the Jordanian northern coast of the Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea

The Gulf of Aqaba exhibits a strong seasonality due to convective mixing during winter and stratification during summer. The present study provides a detailed appraisal of summer and winter sea-water characteristics at the northern coast of the Gulf of Aqaba, that is witnessing rapid development and increasing changes in its geomorphological characteristics. Sea-water temperature, salinity, nutrients, and chlorophyll a concentrations were measured biweekly at five coastal and four cross-sectional stations during the periods February to April and July to September 2004. Meteorological conditions were continuously recorded at the Marine Science Station. The coastal study sites included four open coastal stations and a marina with one-way exchange with the open water. The effect of convective mixing was clearly apparent on the sea-water characteristics. Natural seasonal characteristics of higher nutrients and chlorophyll a concentrations were recorded during winter at most of the open coastal stations. In the cross-sectional stations, the concentrations of nutrients and chlorophyll a were not different between the surface and the bottom during winter, but the bottom waters had generally higher concentrations during summer. Some deviations from the natural seasonal cycle were recorded at the marina and other coastal stations. Here, higher nutrient and chlorophyll a concentrations were recorded in summer than in winter. These deviations that are most likely due to anthropogenic effects are discussed.

Life cycle of Pseudocalanus acuspes Giesbrecht (Copepoda, Calanoida) in the Central Baltic Sea: I. Seasonal and spatial distribution

The seasonal and spatial distribution of Pseudocalanus acuspes in the Bornholm Basin (Central Baltic Sea) was studied on 16 cruises between March 2002 and May 2003 from stratified (10 m) multinet samples. The highest abundances were reached in May 2002 and April 2003 (618×10³ and 869×10³ ind. m⁻², respectively). Ontogenetic vertical distribution was stage specific with differences of mean annual weighted mean depth >30 m between nauplii and males; it followed closely the hydrography which was characterized by a permanent halocline and a summer thermocline. The vertical distribution showed a positive correlation with salinity especially in the older developmental stages; the relationship to temperature was negative in the nauplii and copepodite stage I (CI). Most of the stages performed a seasonal migration. The consequences of the vertical distribution patterns in relation to the effects of climate and predation are discussed. A stage shift from nauplii in April/May to CIV and CV as overwintering stages indicated slow seasonal development. However, nauplii were observed all the year round, and the resulting stage structure did not allow to distinguish generations. Changes in the prosome length of females seemed to be related to the advection of water masses with different temperatures rather than to different generations. It could not be clarified whether the strong increase of nauplii and adults after an inflow event of cold, saline North Sea water in the beginning of 2003 was a result of advection or improvement in habitat conditions.     

Unusual characteristics in a Meromictic lake in Greece

The studied lake, a meromictic shallow lagoon, in Peloponissos, presents unusual physical and chemical features which derive mainly from its mineral springs, and the sea water that invades into the lake. The form of vegetation and the abundant organic matter of the mud together with the sulfate salts of the water create conditions which are responsible for the production of gases such as H₂S and CH₄. Vertical profiles of temperature, salinity and oxygen show that a large area of the lake is well stratified, at least periodically and no marked mixing occurs, between the upper less saline water and the lower saline water. In the halocline the vertical gradient of salinity is large. Mesothermic and poikilothermic conditions were also observed, whereas large temperature differences were recorded in water column.     

Spatial and seasonal variability of dissolved oxygen and nutrients in the Southern Adriatic coastal waters

The main objective of this paper is to present vertical and horizontal patterns of dissolved oxygen and nutrients found during four seasonal surveys (March, June, September and December 2000) in the Southern Adriatic Sea coastal waters. The multivariate technique Principal Component Analysis has been applied to our dataset considering the following parameters: seawater temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and nutrients (nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate). The resulting plot shows in a self-explanatory way that a seasonal trend was not observable in the investigated period and that no significant differences occur between the stations sampled in the Taranto Gulf and those along the Adriatic coast. Water column stratification persists in all seasons, except in spring, in the shallowest stations. The surface layer is characterized by a low nutrient content. The influence of the Northern Adriatic Surface Water in the Southern Adriatic sub-basin seems to be very low and can be traced by nitrate and silicate only in spring and winter. Regarding deep waters, nitrate distribution shows an increasing gradient moving from the coast to the open sea, having the lowest concentration in the shelf area and the highest in the most offshore stations of the Otranto Strait. In the Otranto Strait area the vertical distributions of physical and chemical parameters show, at middle depths, the inflow of Levantine Intermediate Water, traced by both the maximum of salinity, nitrate and phosphate and the minimum of oxygen. The LIW signal is lost moving northward. The outflow of Adriatic Dense Water is less evident, being traced only in spring by an oxygen increase at the bottom layer in the shelf area. The N:P ratio is highly variable but in the range already observed in the Southern Adriatic, suggesting a P-limitation, which can both contribute to the low primary productivity of the area and support the N:P ratio anomaly of the Eastern Mediterranean.

Vertical distributions of eggs,nauplii and copepodites of Calanus helgolandicus (Copepoda: Crustacea) in the Celtic Sea

The vertical distributions of eggs, nauplii, copepodites and adults of Calanus helgolandicus (Claus) from five oblique plankton-net hauls taken in May (1980), March and September (1981) and January (1982) at a site in the shelf sea to the south-west of the United Kingdom are described. The water depth is approximately 95 m and becomes thermally stratified during the summer months when a thermocline of ∼6 C° develops. In early spring when the water column was isothermal (∼8 °C), the development of the eggs and nauplii took place below 60 m and a single ontogenetic migration was observed between Nauplius VI (NVI) and Copepodite I (CI). As the temperature of the water increased, this migration occurred in progressively earlier naupliar stages. The eggs were distributed throughout the water column in the profile taken in early May when a 1 C° thermocline occurred between 30 to 40 m. The majority of the NI to NIV stages occurred below 40 m, with the ontogenetic migration taking place in the NIV stage; the NV and NVI stages were found above the thermocline. In September, the eggs were again distributed throughout the water column (101 490 m^-2), with a maximum number of >4 500 m^-3 occurring in the surface to 5 m depth interval. Nauplius I and II were found at all depths, demonstrating that hatching occurred throughout the water column. The ontogenetic migration in these late-summer profiles took place between the NII and NIII stages, the remainder of the nauplii being found above the thermocline in the top 20 m. This is the first time that an ontogenetic migration, similar to the developmental ascent observed in the naupliar stages of the euphausiid Euphausia superba in the deep ocean, has been shown for a copepod nauplius.     

Vertical distribution of Calanus finmarchicus and C. helgolandicus in relation to the development of the seasonal thermocline in the Celtic Sea

The geographical distribution and annual mean abundance of Calanus finmarchicus (Gunnerus) and C. helgolandicus (Claus) in the northern North Atlantic Ocean were shown in relation to the seasonal and annual fluctuations of abundance of the species in the Celtic Sea from 1960 to 1981. These congeneric copepods, although showing allopatric distributions over most of their geographical range, have sympatric distributions in the Celtic Sea where they dominate the dry weight biomass of the plankton throughout the year. The two species respond differently to the development of the seasonal thermocline and halocline by taking up different vertical distributions in the water column. C. finmarchicus occurred in the colder, more saline water below the thermocline, while C. helgolandicus occurred in the warmer, less saline water above the thermocline. This behaviour is postulated as a mechanism by which these morphologically similar copepods more fully exploit the resources of their temporally and spatially heterogeneous environment and also minimise interspecific competition. The species have the same foraging techniques and are able to exploit the same size spectrum of particulates. The vertical depth strata in which the populations are found for most of the year in the Celtic Sea means that both species exploit the diatom bloom in early spring but, thereafter, C. helgolandicus grazes on the daily production of the autotrophs in the euphotic zone while C. finmarchicus, below the thermocline, has to rely for its food on sedimenting particulates (whole cells, detritus and faecal material). The isolating mechanisms whereby these two populations partition the habitat in the Celtic Sea are discussed.     

Mesoscale circulation in the surface layer off the southern and western Sardinia Island in 2000–2002

Five oceanographic cruises were organized in the Sardinian Sea and Channel in May 2000, March 2001, September 2001, May 2002, and November 2002 to study the characterization of the water masses, Atlantic Water (AW) and Winter Intermediate Water (WIW), and their mesoscale variability. In the Sardinian Channel, an Algerian anticyclonic Eddy (AE) was observed in May 2000, along the Tunisian coast. This induced a greater minimum salinity in a wider and deeper layer than in November 2002, when no AE was observed. Some WIW was observed below it; nevertheless, no link could be established between AEs and WIW occurrences. In the Sardinian Sea, two AEs were observed during spring 2000, and a further two during spring 2002. One AE strongly influenced shelf circulation, in contrast to the other three that were off the continental slope. In the same area, during the end of September 2001, a vertical salinity inversion occurred in the first 30–50 m of depth over the whole sampling field, and a W–NW wind induced a coastal upwelling over the western Sardinian coast (south of 41° N). This upwelling increased the salinity from ～20 to 30 m below the surface to the surface and, thereby led to a lower salinity close to the coast than offshore. This was in contrast to a classical upwelling. Consequently, in the Sardinian Sea, the general circulation, mainly driven by AEs, can meet the coastal wind-driven circulation.
