Eutrophication development and its key regulating factors in a water-supply reservoir in North China

Yanghe Reservoir is an important source of drinking water for Qinhuangdao City,North China;however,in recent decades this water source has been eutrophic with recurrent summer cyanobacterial blooms.The trophic grade of the system in summer was mesotrophiceutrophic in 1990 and became hypertrophic in 2011.The nutrient availability is extremely high during the entire year,and the water temperature should be the primary driver of the summer blooms.In May-October of 2010 and 2011,abrupt variations were observed in the Secchi depth(SD) and chlorophyll a(Chl-a),and both the correlated analysis of Chl-a-SD and trophic status indices(TSI) deviation(TSI Chl-a-TSI SD) showed that algal cell density dominated light attenuation.During the algal bloom outbreak,the microcystin concentration was found to vary between 0.35-2.12 μg/L in 2010 and 0.11-1.86 μg/L in 2011.The maximum microcystin content was more than two times the safety limit required for drinking water.Inflow discharges were most concentrated in the summer,with periods of lower residence time and the largest water level fluctuation over the entire year.When a high availability of nutrients promoted a high Chl-a concentration in the whole system,it appeared that the instability caused by the decrease in residence time could not produce effective changes in the cyanobacterial abundance.The results indicated that nutrient enrichment in the aquatic systems of Yanghe Reservoir is the most serious problem and that the status would not been modified effectively by increasing hydrological fluctuations(e.g.,decreasing the residence time).Therefore,decreasing the nutrient concentrations is the only route to improve the water quality of this reservoir.     

颗粒直链藻水华生消对婆罗异剑水蚤（桡足类）种群动态的影响

近年来,国内外学者对湖库型水华的发生机理和生态效应都做了大量研究,但有关水华生消对浮游动物群落结构影响的研究还很少.因此,本研究利用两个室外水泥池在中等尺度上考察了颗粒直链藻水华生消过程对婆罗异剑水蚤(桡足类)种群动态的影响,以及后者摄食对水华生消的下行调控作用.结果发现,颗粒直链藻水华发展迅速,仅5 d时间叶绿素浓度就从(21.24±0.75)μg·L-1上升到(240.34±11.00)μg·L-1;随后水华进入快速消退期,3 d后叶绿素a浓度下降到(53.63±0.47)μg·L-1.婆罗异剑水蚤的摄食压力对颗粒直链藻水华具有明显的抑制作用,水华生消期间含有婆罗异剑水蚤的藻液叶绿素a浓度比对照组低20μg·L-1左右,最大差异为26.08μg·L-1.期间婆罗异剑水蚤的丰度也由接入时的(56.50±4.32)ind·L-1增加到(142.11±6.35)ind·L-1,增加了1.5倍.该研究结果表明,在无鱼类摄食压力情况下,颗粒直链水华的爆发和消亡对婆罗异剑水蚤的生长和繁殖没有负面影响,反而促进了其种群数量的增加,这可能是由于水华期间为其提供了充足的饵料供应.

混合层深度对藻类生长的影响研究

三峡水库蓄水后,支流库湾频繁暴发水华.为研究水华暴发关键因子,以临界层理论为指导,于2012年初冬季,在香溪河野外观测站建立围隔实验系统,研究水体混合对藻类生长的影响机制.围隔水下深度按梯度布设,表底掺混均匀,并注入由浮游动物网过滤的低Chl-a浓度的香溪河河水.结果表明,Zeu/Zmix(真光层深度与混合层深度之比)>1的围隔藻类生长迅速并暴发水华,Chl-a浓度最高达到90 mg·m-3,反之生长缓慢.临界层理论适用于本实验,Zeu/Zmix也存在一个临界值,低于临界值浮游植物生长会受光限制而不易暴发水华;在临界层理论的基础上,分析得藻类净初级生产力与Zmix存在负相关关系,即Zmix越小藻类净初级生产力越大.     

Sulfur-containing amino acid methionine as the precursor of volatile organic sulfur compounds in algea-induced black bloom

After the application of methionine, a progressive and significant increase occurred in five volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs): methanethiol (MeSH), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) and dimethyl tetrasulfide (DMTeS). Even in the untreated control without a methionine addition, methionine and its catabolites (VOSCs, mainly DMDS) were found in considerable amounts that were high enough to account for the water’s offensive odor. However, blackening only occurred in two methionine-amended treatments. The VOSCs production was observed to precede black color development, and the reaching of a peak value for total VOSCs was often followed by water blackening. The presence of glucose stimulated the degradation of methionine while postponing the occurrence of the black color and inhibiting the production of VOSCs. In addition, DMDS was found to be the most abundant species produced after the addition of methionine alone, and DMTeS appeared to be the most important compound produced after the addition of methionine+glucose. These results suggest that methionine acted as an important precursor of the VOSCs in lakes suffering from algea-induced black bloom. The existence of glucose may change the transformation pathway of methionine into VOSCs to form larger molecular weight compounds, such as DMTS and DMTeS.

近五年广西茅尾海富营养化成因分析及综合防治对策

利用2006至2010年监测结果和统计资料,评价广西茅尾海近5年富营养化状况,分析富营养化变化与钦州市人口、地区生产总值(GDP)、入海污染物结构、河流入海污染物之间的关系,探讨近年来茅尾海富营养化不断加重的原因,并针对性的提出该海域富营养化的综合防治对策。结果表明近5年茅尾海富营养化程度显逐渐加重的趋势,到2010年茅尾海富营养化程度很严重,河口附近富营养化明显。近5年钦州市人口和经济急剧增长引起的入海污染物不断增加是茅尾海富营养化程度加重的主要原因,尤其以磷酸盐的增加对海湾富营养化及赤潮现象的影响最为显著。因而茅尾海富营养化的综合防治应注重对钦江和茅岭江流域的综合整治以及海湾周边入海污染源的管理,加强污水的脱磷处理等。     

太湖春季和秋季蓝藻光合作用活性研究

采用Phyto-PAM浮游植物分析仪测定太湖蓝藻光合作用活性的时空间分布.结果表明,太湖蓝藻光合活性具有显著的时空差异:春季蓝藻的最大光量子产量F_v/F_m (可变荧光和最大荧光之比)和实际光量子产量F_v'/F_m'分别在0.35~0.49和0.16~0.29之间,秋季蓝藻分别在 0.33~0.53和0.21~0.43之间,太湖秋季蓝藻的最大光合作用能力和实际光合作用能力大于春季蓝藻.春季和秋季蓝藻的非光化学淬灭NPQ(non-photochemical quenching)分别在0.012~0.17和0.035~0.26之间,秋季蓝藻的NPQ高于春季蓝藻,说明秋季蓝藻的自我保护能力高于春季蓝藻.快速光响应曲线(Rapid light curve, RLC)的特征参数表明春季蓝藻的光能利用效率、最大电子传递速率和光饱和强度点高于秋季蓝藻;从空间分布来看,蓝藻的最大光合作用能力、实际光合作用能力和光合作用效率在营养水平低和有水草分布的湖区相对较低,富营养化水平高的湖区则相对较高.因此,降低太湖营养盐浓度,恢复水生植物,能够抑制蓝藻的光合作用活性和生长,从而降低蓝藻水华强度.     

寒区水体中溶藻铜绿假单胞菌的分离和性质研究

我国北方,尤其是东北地区的一些水体由于富营养化导致的水华现象呈增加趋势,成为急需解决的水环境问题.溶藻菌可从生态调控的角度来控制水华的爆发,因此,在富营养化水体治理方面逐渐得到重视.本文从寒区水华爆发水体中分离获得了一株溶藻细菌JM1,系统发育分析表明,菌株JM1与铜绿假单胞菌的同源性最高.VITEK系统鉴定表明,菌株JM1与铜绿假单胞菌的相似度为98%.菌株JM1在不同的碳源和氮源培养基中可产生不同颜色和p H值的代谢产物,而以葡萄糖和蛋白胨分别为碳源和氮源时发酵液的溶藻效果明显好于其它培养基.菌株JM1的溶藻效果随藻细胞初始密度的降低而增强,随发酵液添加量的增加而增加;当菌体细胞的密度达到1011CFU·m L-1时,可单一抑制藻细胞的生长;当菌体细胞的密度大于105CFU·m L-1时,菌体细胞可促进发酵液的溶藻作用.发酵液作用于藻细胞6 h时可明显影响其恢复能力,当暴露时间达18 h时,藻细胞彻底丧失了恢复能力.菌株JM1发酵液在中性和偏碱性的藻液中的溶藻效果最强,并且经过酸化、碱化和高温处理后,仍然保持较高的溶藻活性.本研究可为基于微生物作用过程的水华控制提供优势的土著菌种及其应用上的技术支持.     

Development of a combined isotopic and mass-balance approach to determine dissolved organic carbon sources in eutrophic reservoirs

A combined mass-balance and stable isotope approach was set up to identify and quantify dissolved organic carbon (DOC) sources in a DOC-rich (9 mg L⁻¹) eutrophic reservoir located in Western France and used for drinking water supply (so-called Rophemel reservoir). The mass-balance approach consisted in measuring the flux of allochthonous DOC on a daily basis, and in comparing it with the effective (measured) DOC concentration of the reservoir. The isotopic approach consisted, for its part, in measuring the carbon isotope ratios (δ¹³C values) of both allochthonous and autochthonous DOC sources, and comparing these values with the δ¹³C values of the reservoir DOC. Results from both approaches were consistent pointing out for a DOC of 100% allochthonous origin. In particular, the δ¹³C values of the DOC recovered in the reservoir (−28.5 ± 0.2‰; n = 22) during the algal bloom season (May-September) showed no trace of an autochthonous contribution (δ¹³C in algae = −30.1 ± 0.3‰; n = 2) being indistinguishable from the δ¹³C values of allochthonous DOC from inflowing rivers (−28.6 ± 0.1‰; n = 8). These results demonstrate that eutrophication is not responsible for the high DOC concentrations observed in the Rophemel reservoir and that limiting eutrophication of this reservoir will not reduce the potential formation of disinfection by-products during water treatment. The methodology developed in this study based on a complementary isotopic and mass-balance approach provides a powerful tool, suitable to identify and quantify DOC sources in eutrophic, DOC-contaminated reservoirs.
