Photosynthetic characteristics of Prochloron sp./ascidian symbioses

The prokaryotic green alga Prochloron sp. (Prochlorophyta) is found in symbiotic association with colonial didemnid ascidians that inhabit warm tropical waters in a broad range of light environments. We sought to determine the light-adaptation features of this alga in relation to the natural light environments in which the symbioses are found, and to characterize the temperature sensitivity of photosynthesis and respiration of Prochloron sp. in order to assess its physiological role in the productivity and distribution of the symbiosis. Colonies of the host ascidian Lissoclinum patella were collected from exposed and shaded habitats in a shallow lagoon in Palau, West Caroline Islands, during February and March, 1983. Some colonies from the two light habitats were maintained under conditions of high light (2 200 E m^–2 s^–1) and low light (400 E m^–2 s^–1) in running seawater tanks. The environments were characterized in terms of daily light quantum fluxes, daily periods of light-saturated photosynthesis (H_sat), and photon flux density levels. Prochloron sp. cells were isolated from the hosts and examined for their photosynthesis vs irradiance relationships, respiration, pigment content and photosynthetic unit features. In addition, daily P:R ratios, photosynthetic quotients, carbon balances and photosynthetic carbon release were also characterized. It was found that Prochloron sp. cells from low-light colonies possessed lower chlorophyll a/b ratios, larger photosynthetic units sizes based on both reaction I and reaction II, similar numbers of reaction center I and reaction center II per cell, lower respiration levels, and lower P_max values than cells from high-light colonies. Cells isolated from low-light colonies showed photoinhibition of P_max at photon flux densities above 800 E m^–2 s^–1. However, because the host tissue attenuates about 60 to 80% of the incident irradiance, it is unlikely that these cells are normally photoinhibited in hospite. Collectively, the light-adaptation features of Prochloron sp. were more similar to those of eukaryotic algae and vascular plant chloroplasts than to those of cyanobacteria, and the responses were more sensitive to the daily flux of photosynthetic quantum than to photon flux density per se. Calculation of daily minimum carbon balances indicated that, though high-light cells had daily P:R ratios of 1.0 compared to 4.6 for low-light cells, the cells from the two different light environments showed nearly identical daily carbon gains. Cells isolated from high-light colonies released between 15 and 20% of their photosynthetically-fixed carbon, levels sufficient to be important in the nutrition of the host. Q₁₀ responses of photosynthesis and respiration in Prochloron sp. cells exposed briefly (15–45 min) to temperatures between 15° and 45°C revealed a discontinuity in the photosynthetic response at the ambient growth temperatures. The photosynthetic rates were found to be more than twice as sensitive to temperatures below ambient (Q₁₀=3.47) than to temperatures above ambient (Q₁₀=1.47). The Q₁₀ for respiration was constant (Q₁₀=1.66) over the temperature range examined. It appears that the photosynthetic temperature sensitivity of Prochloron sp. may restrict its distribution to warmer tropical waters. The ecological implications of these findings are discussed in relation to published data on other symbiotic systems and free-living algae.

Heavy metals in the Sea-Skater Halobates robustus from the Galápagos Islands: Concentrations in nature and uptake experiments,with special reference to cadmium

Samples of Halobates robustus Barber (Heteroptera: Gerridae) from the Galápagos Islands were analysed by optical emission spectrometry. The levels (in g g^-1 dry weight) of Zn (134), Cu (155), Pb (< 1), Cd (7), and Cr (3) were not significantly different among insects of different sexes or developmental stages. The low natural levels of Cd in H. robustus from the relatively unpolluted environment of the Galápagos Islands are compared to the high concentrations of Cd in Halobates spp. from relatively polluted regions. Since the measured levels of Cd in their natural zooplankton food rarely exceed 10 g g^-1, and very little of the Cd is found in the soft tissues, the high Cd concentrations (100 to 200 g g^–1) in some seaskater species have evidently been derived by drinking from the surface microlayer of the seawater.     

Game theoretic analysis of environmental impact assessment system in China

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) system has been established in China since 1973. In present EIA cases, there are four participants in general: governments, enterprises, EIA organizations and the public. The public has held responsible for both social costs and social duties. The public supervises social costs produced by enterprises discharging pollutant in EIA. However public participation is mostly deputized by governments, which severely weaken the independence of the public as one participant in EIA. In this paper, EIA refers to the different attitudes of the participants whose optional strategies may be described by a proper game model. According to disfigurements in EIA, three sides (governments, enterprises, and EIA organizations) dynamic iterative game theory, dynamic game theory of incomplete information, and perfect Bayesian equilibrium theory to analyze the reciprocity relation among governments, EIA organizations and enterprises. The results show that in a short period, economic benefit is preponderant over social benefit. Governments and enterprises both do not want to take EIA to reveal social costs. EIA organizations’ income comes from enterprises and the collusions are built between them to vindicate economic benefit. In a long run, social benefit loss caused by environmental pollution must be recuperated sooner or later and environmental deterioration will influence the achievements of economic benefit, so both governments and enterprises are certain to pursue high social benefit and willing to take EIA, helpful to increase private benefit. EIA organizations will make fair assessment when their economic benefit are ensured. At present, the public as silent victims can not take actual part in EIA. The EIA system must be improved to break the present equilibrium of three sides, bringing the public to the equilibrium to exert public supervision.     

Mercury in fish from the Pinchi Lake Region, British Columbia, Canada

Water, surface sediments, and <40 cm rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and northern pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus oregonensis) were collected from Pinchi Lake, British Columbia, and from several nearby reference lakes. Hg concentrations in sediment samples from Pinchi L. were highly elevated compared to sediments from reference lakes, especially in sites adjacent to and downstream of a former Hg mine. In both fish species examined, Hg concentration was positively related to age and/or fork length. In northern pikeminnow, Hg concentrations were also positively related to trophic level (deltaN). Hg concentrations in both fish species were highest in Pinchi L., and were higher in pikeminnow than in rainbow trout of similar size. Average Hg concentrations in small rainbow trout from all lakes, including Pinchi L., were lower than dietary levels reported to cause reproductive impairment in common loons (Gavia immer); however, Hg levels in small pikeminnow from Pinchi L. were sufficiently high to be of concern. The risk for Hg toxicity in the study area is greatest for animals that consume larger piscivorous fish such as larger northern pikeminnow or lake trout, which are known from previous studies to contain higher Hg concentrations.     

Total life cycle emissions of post-Panamax containerships powered by conventional fuel or natural gas

This study proposes an easy-to-apply method, the Total Life Cycle Emission Model (TLCEM), to calculate the total emissions from shipping and help ship management groups assess the impact on emissions caused by their capital investment or operation decisions. Using TLCEM, we present the total emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHGs) during the 25-yr life cycle of 10 post-Panamax containerships under slow steaming conditions. The life cycle consists of steel production, shipbuilding, crude oil extraction and transportation, fuel refining, bunkering, and ship operation. We calculate total emissions from containerships and compare the effect of emission reduction by using various fuels. The results can be used to differentiate the emissions from various processes and to assess the effectiveness of various reduction approaches. Critical pollutants and GHGs emitted from each process are calculated. If the containerships use heavy fuel oil (HFO), emissions of CO₂ total 2.79 million tonnes (Mt), accounting for 95.37% of total emissions, followed by NO_x and SO_x emissions,which account for 2.25% and 1.30%, respectively.The most significant emissions are from the operation of the ship and originate from the main engine (ME).When fuel is switched to 100% natural gas (NG), SO_x, PM₁₀, and CO₂ emissions show remarkable reductions of 98.60%, 99.06%, and 21.70%, respectively. Determining the emission factor of each process is critical for estimating the total emissions. The estimated emission factors were compared with the values adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).The proposed TLCEM may contribute to more accurate estimates of total life cycle emissions from global shipping.

Implications: We propose a total life cycle emissions model for 10 post-Panamax container ships. Using heavy fuel oil, emissions of CO₂ total 2.79 Mt, accounting for approximately 95% of emissions, followed by NO_x and SO_x emissions. Using 100% natural gas, SO_x, PM₁₀, and CO₂ emissions reduce by 98.6%, 99.1%, and 21.7%, respectively. NO_x emissions increase by 1.14% when running a dual fuel engine at low load in natural gas mode.

Influence of eutrophication on the coagulation efficiency in reservoir water

Water from the three reservoirs, Min-ter, Li-yu-ten and Yun-ho-shen, was examined for concentration of chlorophyll a, ultraviolet absorption (UV(254)), fluorescence intensity (FI), concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and fractionation of dissolved molecules by molecular weight. The water samples were collected over the change from spring to summer (May to July but before the typhoon season) when the water temperature and extent of eutrophication increase. Analytical results indicate that the concentration of DOC is proportional to the concentration of chlorophyll a, but not to the values of UV(254) and FI. Therefore, eutrophication, extraneous contaminants of small molecules, and the extracellular products of algae cause an increase in DOC, but a decrease in the proportion of large organic molecules such as of humic substances. The fraction of DOC with a molecular weight of less than 5000 Da increases with the concentration of chlorophyll a. All these data suggest that changes in the quality of water after eutrophication make the treatment of drinking water more difficult. The method of enhanced coagulation was recently developed for removing DOC. However, the results of this paper demonstrate that the efficiency of DOC removal falls as the degree of eutrophication increases. When the percentage of DOC with small molecules excreted by algae increased by 1%, the efficiency of DOC removal decreased by approximately 1%, implying that enhanced coagulation are not able to remove the DOC excreted by the algae during eutrophication, and resulting an increased concentration of trihalomethanes formation in water disinfections process.
