Effect of horizontal advection induced by intrusion of the Kuroshio water on plankton biomass in the spring fishing period of shirasu on the Pacific coast of Japan

ABSTRACT:   This study explored the fundamental process that controls interannual change in plankton biomass on the Pacific coast of Japan, focusing on the spring period of shirasu fishery. A 1-D model of primary production revealed that the strength of horizontal advection induced by warm water intrusion from the Kuroshio into the Pacific coast is the most critical for plankton biomass compared with other factors such as diffusion and production. This conclusion was also confirmed by a sensitivity analysis of the model.     

Recent changes in the trophic structure of the Black Sea

During the past few decades, the Black Sea has been subjected to various human impacts that have led to changes in the ecology of this inland sea. River runoff has introduced high levels of certain heavy metals and other toxic substances as well as detergents. Ship traffic has led to the introduction of new species, and fishing pressures have also altered the ecology of the area.
This paper reviews major ecological changes over the past 40 years. An increase in nutrients has caused eutrophication, with outbursts of phytoplankton blooms and changes in the species composition of these algae. Small-sized zooplankton species and gelatinous zooplankton have become more common, while many of the herbivorous copepods have decreased in abundance or have disappeared. The introduction of the predatory ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the 1980s has had significant impact on the plankton community and has led to a sharp decline in anchovy stocks. Decreased water transparency has led to a loss of macrophytic algae, except in shallow waters, and to a subsequent decline in the zoobenthos associated with this flora. Eutrophication has also led to decreased oxygen concentrations in the near-bottom water due to large amounts of decomposing phytoplankton, and regions of hypoxia and anoxia now appear on the shelf, with consequent reduction in benthic populations of invertebrates and demersal fish. The numbers of fish species harvested commercially have fallen from 26 to 5, but the total catch has increased, owing to increases in abundance of small fish (e.g., sprat) and horse mackerel, and to increased fishing effort.     

洪湖自然保护区浮游生物空间分布及与水质关系

研究围垸养殖对洪湖自然保护区水质的影响,从浮游生物视角评价水质现状及发展规律,以期为洪湖自然保护区科学管理及水生态修复提供基础数据。2019年6月在洪湖自然保护区不同方位水面布设10个采样点,开展水质及浮游动植物现状调查和分析,计算生物多样性,并与环境因子做CCA分析。调查共检出浮游植物6门57属74种,以蓝藻门的微囊藻、硅藻门的颗粒直链藻、绿藻门的单角盘星藻为主要优势种;浮游动物61种,以萼花臂尾轮虫和广布中剑水蚤为主要优势种。浮游植物Shannon-Wiener生物多样性指数均值为2.26,浮游动物均值为2.12,水质为中度污染状态,但有重度污染的趋势。CCA分析表明,浮游植物分布与SD呈正相关,与WT、COD;等呈负相关;部分轮虫及大部分原生动物与SD、As呈正相关,与WT、Chl-a等呈负相关。洪湖自然保护区水体处于中富营养型状态。围垸养殖会导致洪湖水体有机物沉积、水质恶化,并对浮游生物种类组成和数量产生重要影响。     

有益微生物对海水养虾池浮游生物生态特征的影响研究

研究了有益微生物对海水虾池浮游生物生态特征的影响。通过对虾养殖系统中浮游动物与浮游植物进行为期3个月的监测,结果表明试验组虾池的浮游植物密度表现为前期低,中期迅速增长,后期达顶峰,并维持在70×106～160×106cell·L-1的水平,前期种类以硅藻类为主,后期则以绿藻类为主;同时试验池浮游动物的密度也保持稳定增长态势,并在养殖后期维持在顶峰水平,密度达到25×103～30×103ind·m-3,种类以广盐、适低盐的沿岸种为主,但优势种明显;对照池的浮游植物和浮游动物呈现前期低后期高的态势。其变化差异表现为对照组的浮游植物和浮游动物在后期的密度变动起伏较大,且出现较大比例的有害的兰藻类,而试验池的兰藻类只占较少的比例,说明芽孢杆菌群能抑制兰藻类的繁殖,促进有益藻类生长;浮游生物的多样性指数较低,低于自然海区,但种类均匀度则较高,与自然海区相当。     

万佛湖初级生产力和鱼产力的评估与分析

利用浮游生物计数法和黑白瓶测氧法对万佛湖的初级生产力进行测定,并以此对万佛湖鲢、鳙鱼产量进行测算.结果表明,浮游生物计数法评估万佛湖鲢、鳙鱼产力达1100～2000t,黑白瓶法评估鱼产力为2200t.比万佛湖实际产量高很多,说明水库的鱼产力尚未达到上限.     

天津天嘉湖渔业生物学基础调查

按照《内陆水域渔业自然资源调查手册》对天嘉湖水化学、浮游生物、底栖动物、鱼类状况进行了调查。结果表明:天嘉湖水质良好,适合鱼类生长;鱼类天然饵料生物量相对较低,不适合鲢鳙生长;主要渔获物为人工放养的异育银鲫Carassiusauratusgibelio.,今后应依据其自然条件以放养异育银鲫为主,少放鲢鳙;放养12cm以上的大规格的鱼种,提高成活率和回捕率;控制凶猛鱼类的种群数量。     

轮虫培育池浮游生物的时空分布

在1995－1996年期间，对黑龙江、内蒙、辽宁3个地区11个池塘浮游生物的时空分布进行了研究。结果表明，浮游植物在池的上、下风位水平分布和表、底层垂直分布存在显著差异。轮虫的水平分布与风浪及水体溶氧状况有关，无风（或微风）时，上、下风位无明显差异。有风浪时，上风位比下风位高出1倍多。水体缺氧时，下风位比上风位高出4倍多，轮虫的垂直分布在溶氧充足时，上、下风位表层均低于底层；而在水体缺氧时，上、风位表层高出底层近3倍。桡足类的水平分布上风位比下风位高出2－4倍，垂直分布无明显差异。文中还讨论了轮虫池浮游生物分布的某些规律和成因及其在生产实践中的意义。
