Metal bioaccumulation and metallothionein concentrations in larvae of Crassostrea gigas

Larval stages of bivalve molluscs are highly sensitive to pollutants. Oysters from a hatchery from Normandy (English Channel) were induced to spawn, and fertilized eggs were exposed to copper or cadmium for 24 h. Metal accumulation (from 0.125 to 5 microg Cu L(-1) and from 25 to 200 microg Cd L(-1)) and MT concentrations were measured in larvae. Compared to controls, larvae accumulated copper and cadmium with an increase in MT concentrations particularly with cadmium (i.e. 130.96 ng Cu (mg protein)(-1) and 12.69 microg MT (mg protein)(-1) at 1 microg Cu L(-1) versus 23.19 ng Cu (mg protein)(-1) and 8.92 microg MT (mg protein)(-1) in control larvae; 334.3 ng Cd (mg protein)(-1) and 11.70 microg MT (mg protein)(-1) at 200 microg Cd L(-1) versus 0.87 ng Cd (mg protein)(-1) and 4.60 microg MT (mg protein)(-1) in control larvae). Larvae were also obtained from oysters of a clean area (Arcachon Bay) and a polluted zone (Bidassoa estuary) and exposed to copper in the laboratory, their MT concentration was measured as well as biomarkers of oxidative stress. Biomarker responses and sensitivity to copper for the larvae from Arcachon oysters were higher than for those from Bidassoa.     

Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) in riverine and marine sediments of the Laizhou Bay area, North China

PCN congeners were analyzed in marine and riverine sediments of the Laizhou Bay area, North China. Concentrations of PCNs ranged from 0.12 to 5.1 ng g⁻¹ dry weight (dw) with a mean value of 1.1 ng g⁻¹ dw. The levels of PCNs varied largely, with industrial group approximately ten folds higher than those of the rural in riverine sediment. A strong impact by direct discharge from local factories was suggested. Similar compositional profiles were found within groups. High resemblance of compositional profiles between industrial samples and Halowax 1014 was observed. It was indicated that PCNs in riverine sediments were mainly from release of industrial usage, with additional contributions from industrial thermal process at certain sites. In marine sediments, it was suggested that PCNs along the coast of Laizhou Bay were mainly controlled by riverine input. While in the central bay, PCN distributions were possibly impacted by combined multiple factors.     

南海东北部考洲洋海洋渔业环境质量评价

根据1999年考洲洋12个调查站的观测资料,按我国有关的环境质量标准,用质量指数法分级评价考洲洋的环境质量。结果表明：考洲洋的环境质量总体较好,但轻微污染偶有发生,石油类是主要污染物,其次为PO4-P。2月(枯水期)在5测站的表层沉积物中有机质含量略有超标,3测站海水和2测站表层沉积物受石油类轻污染,1测站的海水受Cu轻污染。8月(丰水期),5测站的海水受PO4-P轻污染。     

大亚湾海洋生物体重金属含量与变化趋势分析

根据2001年11月大亚湾15个调查站、20个生物种类共计63个生物样品的Cu、Pb、Cd和Hg含量检测结果,阐述了大亚湾近期海洋经济种类生物体的重金属含量水平。结果表明：鱼类、蟹类、虾类和头足类生物体重金属含量分别为：Cu0．16～11．85、Pb0．17～0．54、Cd0．02～0．25和Hg0．007～0．087mg／kg。虾蟹和蟹类体中Cu、Pb、Cd和Hg含量最高,鱼类最低,头足类居中;本调查结果除Pb的含量略高于1992年的调查结果外,Cu、Cd和Hg的含量略低于或相当于10年前的调查水平：与中华人民共和国农业行业标准“无公害食品：水产品有毒有害物质限量”衡量,目前大亚湾鱼类、虾、蟹类和头足类生物体中Cu、Pb、Cd和Hg的平均含量均未超标准,经济种类生物体重金属安全卫生质量尚好。     

哑铃湾网箱养殖水体中N的含量特征

根据2002年4月～2003年1月对哑铃湾网箱养殖海区水化学的现场调查,分析了网箱养殖水体中不同形态N的季节变化和含量特征,结果表明:网箱养殖使水体中各形态N都有不同程度的增加,尤其是DIN、NH4 N的增量更大;短期养殖对各形态N的影响不大,而长期养殖对水体中N的影响较显著。     

哑铃湾网箱养殖水体中N、P的形态特征及其季节变化调控机制

2002年4月～2003年1月四个季度,对哑铃湾典型网箱养殖区N、P几种形态含量进行了实地调查和分析。结果表明,在该养殖区,N、P的存在形态都以溶解态为主,各种形态的季节变化都受网箱养殖活动和浮游植物的生长状况综合调控;在该海域,从N/P值的角度来看,P是比较缺乏的,但是从浮游植物可利用的角度来看,无机磷却相对过剩。

胶州湾及邻近海域表层海水中一氧化氮浓度分布及其影响因素探讨

2011年2～3月利用化学发光法对胶州湾及邻近海域表层海水中一氧化氮(NO)浓度进行了监测.结合水文、化学和生物等要素的同步观测资料,对该海域NO浓度分布及其影响因素进行了探讨.结果表明,胶州湾内表层海水中NO浓度为0.080～0.493 nmol.L-1,平均值为(0.292±0.146)nmol.L-1,胶州湾外NO浓度为未检出～0.435 nmol.L-1,平均值为(0.160±0.130)nmol.L-1.总体来说,胶州湾表层海水中NO浓度呈现出自湾内向湾外递降的分布趋势,陆地径流和人为活动可能对NO浓度的分布造成一定程度的影响.胶州湾及邻近海域表层海水中NO浓度比开阔大洋高1个数量级.周日变化研究表明,NO浓度具有一定的变化特征,最大值出现在15:00,这可能主要受光照的影响.影响NO浓度分布的因素比较复杂,可能主要受亚硝酸盐、光强和pH等因素的影响.结果表明,2011年春季胶州湾及邻近海域表层海水是大气NO的源,通量约为1.09×10-15 mol.(cm2.s)-1.
