Fishing‐gear restrictions and biomass gains for coral reef fishes in marine protected areas

Considerable empirical evidence supports recovery of reef fish populations with fishery closures. In countries where full exclusion of people from fishing may be perceived as inequitable, fishing‐gear restrictions on nonselective and destructive gears may offer socially relevant management alternatives to build recovery of fish biomass. Even so, few researchers have statistically compared the responses of tropical reef fisheries to alternative management strategies. We tested for the effects of fishery closures and fishing gear restrictions on tropical reef fish biomass at the community and family level. We conducted 1,396 underwater surveys at 617 unique sites across a spatial hierarchy within 22 global marine ecoregions that represented 5 realms. We compared total biomass across local fish assemblages and among 20 families of reef fishes inside marine protected areas (MPAs) with different fishing restrictions: no‐take, hook‐and‐line fishing only, several fishing gears allowed, and sites open to all fishing gears. We included a further category representing remote sites, where fishing pressure is low. As expected, full fishery closures, (i.e., no‐take zones) most benefited community‐ and family‐level fish biomass in comparison with restrictions on fishing gears and openly fished sites. Although biomass responses to fishery closures were highly variable across families, some fishery targets (e.g., Carcharhinidae and Lutjanidae) responded positively to multiple restrictions on fishing gears (i.e., where gears other than hook and line were not permitted). Remoteness also positively affected the response of community‐level fish biomass and many fish families. Our findings provide strong support for the role of fishing restrictions in building recovery of fish biomass and indicate important interactions among fishing‐gear types that affect biomass of a diverse set of reef fish families.     

“两山”实践成效评价指标体系构建与测算

将生态环保目标(“绿水青山”)和经济发展目标(“金山银山”)称为“两山”,客观、科学地评价“两山”成效,明晰制约“两山”转化的瓶颈,对于推动“两山”实践进程至关重要.在辨析“绿水青山”与“金山银山”内涵的基础上构建了“两山”实践成效评价指标体系,并以浙江省为例,对浙江省11个城市的“两山”实践成效进行了分析.结果表明:①2008—2017年,综合发展度与“两山”指数均呈波动上升趋势,综合发展程度对“两山”指数产生重要影响,浙江省11个城市间“两山”指数区域性差异明显.②浙江省11个城市间“绿水青山”指数与“金山银山”指数排名基本呈逆向变化特征,丽水市、衢州市等“绿水青山”指数排名靠前,但“金山银山”指数排名靠后.②根据“两山”指数的分布情况,浙江省11个城市可划分为“绿水青山”保护领先型、“金山银山”建设领先型、“两山”建设相对同步型3种类型.研究显示,尽管浙江省“两山”建设已步入第三阶段,但11个城市中“两山”建设差异较大,区域发展不均衡,建议各城市要因地制宜,适时调整政策,推进“两山”实践.      

乙醇汽油对国六直喷汽油车排放特性的影响

选择5台国六直喷汽油车采用3种不同组分的E10乙醇汽油和1种不含含氧化合物的国VI汽油,按照国六排放标准开展了WLTC循环测试,研究乙醇和基础油组分对污染物排放的影响规律.结果表明,多数国六直喷汽油车的CO、THC和PM排放有所降低,NO_x排放无明显差异,PN排放微增,所有样车的CO、THC和PM平均排放降低为6%、7%和14%.E10乙醇汽油中的重质芳香烃含量增高时,PN排放明显增加,PN排放与PMI指数呈现较强的正相关关系.     

基于逸度方法分析大连湾海域PFASs在海水-沉积物界面的扩散趋势

研究污染物在沉积物-水界面的扩散趋势对于开展其环境风险评估具有重要作用。本研究基于大连湾海域海水和沉积物样品中全氟烷基化合物（PFASs）的含量数据,应用变异系数（C_v）分析了浓度分布的空间变异程度,应用逸度分数（ff）分析了PFASs在沉积物-水界面扩散趋势,应用响应系数（RC）分析了有机碳含量对扩散趋势的影响。结果表明:大连湾海域海水和沉积物中9种PFASs的总浓度均为中等变异;在沉积物中的浓度空间差异略大,可能受历史排放污染物残留及污染事故的影响。在海水-沉积物界面扩散过程中,全氟烷基磺酸类和全氟烷基羧酸类化合物呈现相同的扩散特性,总体表现为ff值随PFASs链长的增加而逐渐降低的趋势。短链PFASs在大连湾海域倾向于存在于水体中,而长链PFASs倾向于扩散到沉积物中。有机碳是影响PFASs在沉积物-水界面扩散趋势的重要参数,且对长链PFASs的影响更明显。全氟辛烷磺酸作为一种持久性有机污染物在大连湾海域中主要处于平衡状态。     

船舶溢油事故风险分析

伴随着船舶制造业和水运行业的进步和发展,船舶运输成为国内外主要的运输方式之一,是沿海经济的支柱和国家发展的标志。然而大规模的船舶运输在带来经济效益的同时势必会产生一定的负面影响,其中船舶溢油事故成为影响海洋健康发展的重要来源之一,为了保持海洋的可持续性发展,必须对船舶溢油事故进行预控。根据京唐港多年溢油事故的数据和经验,确定溢油事故模拟情景,进而评价码头前沿及航道入港口处的溢油事故,可供类似相关行业风险评估参考。
