根据 1997年 8月～ 1998年 11月的调查数据 ,分析红海湾水域的营养水平及分布特点 ,以了解红海湾水域营养水平的分布特点及污染状况。红海湾水域的富营养化指数E的分布从北向南呈逐渐递减趋势 ,即长沙湾滩涂养殖区 >长沙湾浅海养殖区 >自然水域、龟龄岛水域 ,其中长沙湾滩涂养殖区和长沙湾浅海养殖区受污染明显 ,分别达高富营养化程度和富营养化程度 ;自然水域和龟龄岛水域则营养状况相似 ,基本上未受到明显的污染。E的季节变化趋势为春季 >秋季 >夏季 >冬季 ,除冬季处于贫营养状况外 ,其余 3个季节均达富营养化程度 ,其中以春季受到的污染最为严重 ,达高富营养化程度。分别根据CN/CP 值和E值所推断出的结论基本相同     

东海区海洋捕捞产量的时间序列分析研究

利用东海区1956－1995年计40年的海洋捕捞产量统计数据，研究东海区小黄鱼等10个主要种类渔业的发展过程。结果表明：东海区主要种类渔业发展过程符合渔业发展的一般规律，即经历未开放、开发中、成熟和衰退4个阶段，且主要种类如带鱼、大黄鱼、马面Tun等渔业大多处于成熟期或衰退期，从而预测其发展趋势，并提出必须加强渔业管理、控制捕捞强度等使渔业实现可持续发展的管理措施。     

2003年夏季东海区带鱼资源状况及其秋冬汛渔况的分析

根据东海区渔业资源动态监测网调查资料,对2003年伏季休渔期间的带鱼资源状况进行了分析,并展望了秋冬汛带鱼生产前景。结果表明,2003年伏季休渔前期(6月),东海区带鱼资源重量密度、资源尾数密度及发生量均比常年偏低、产卵期个体重量较常年偏大,亲鱼量属低水平年份;伏季休渔中期(7月、8月),带鱼的产卵群体比例下降,个体平均肛长偏小。同时,海区的水温较2002年偏低,不利于带鱼生长和发育。预计伏季休渔结束后,渔获状况不容乐观,秋冬汛生产前景将差于2002年。

秋冬季黄东海区影响鳀鱼行动分布的三大水系变化特征

依据中国和挪威联合进行的黄东海渔业资源声学评估调查资料，并结合历史研究成果，分析了对鱼行动分布有着显著影响的三大水系（黄海冷水团、黄海暖流和苏北沿岸冷水）的变化特征。结果表明，三大水系均具有明显的年际变化。（1）黄海冷水团的温盐性质比较稳定，但其相对体积强年（1986年11月）约为弱年（985年11月）的144倍；（2）黄海暖流的流速强年（1986年1月）约为弱年（1992年正月）的1．21倍；（3）苏北沿岸冷水以3月份势力最强，其强度1985年1月大于1986年1月。     

Grow-out of sandfish Holothuria scabra in ponds shows that co-culture with shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris is not viable

We examined the potential for producing the large numbers of sandfish (Holothuria scabra) needed for restocking programmes by co-culturing juveniles with the shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris in earthen ponds. Our experiments in hapas within shrimp ponds were designed to detect any deleterious effects of sandfish on shrimp, and vice versa. These experiments showed that a high stocking density of juvenile sandfish had no significant effects on growth and survival of shrimp. However, survival and growth of sandfish reared with shrimp for 3 weeks were significantly lower than for sandfish reared alone. Increased stocking density of shrimp also had a significant negative effect on survival and/or growth of sandfish. A grow-out trial of juvenile sandfish in 0.2-ha earthen ponds stocked with 20 shrimp post-larvae m^− 2, and densities of sandfish between 0.8 and 1.6 individuals m^− 2, confirmed that co-culture is not viable. All sandfish reared in co-culture were dead or moribund after a month. However, sandfish stocked alone into 0.2-ha earthen ponds survived well and grew to mean weights of ∼ 400 g within 12 months without addition of food. The grow-out trial demonstrated that there is potential for profitable pond farming of sandfish in monoculture. Further research is now needed to identify the optimal size of juveniles, stocking densities and pond management regimes.     

Vertical distribution of jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus larvae in the southern part of the East China Sea

ABSTRACT:   The vertical distribution of jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus larvae was described based on discrete depth sampling using a MTD net system from the surface down to 100 m depth at 13 stations in the southern East China Sea between 27 February and 10 March 2002. Of the 20 782 fish larvae collected, T. japonicus larvae were most abundant, accounting for 37.0% of the total catch. The average abundance of the larvae was 419.0 individuals/10 m², with the average (± standard deviation [SD]) body length of 2.6 ± 0.3 mm (range 1.8–7.5 mm). The larvae were concentrated in the mixed layer, with peak densities in the 10–30 m layer. The average (±SD) weighted mean depth was 21.5 ± 7.8 m. There was no evidence of either diel or ontogenetic vertical migration for the early larvae of <5 mm. More than 90% of the T. japonicus larvae were collected in the water temperature ranging from 21 to 23°C. Vertical profiles of the larval densities and chlorophyll a coincided with each other, which might reflect the abundance of their main prey organisms, copepod nauplii and copepodites, since copepod production is known to be closely related with the chlorophyll a concentration.     

Effects of temperature, salinity and pH on larval growth, survival and development of the sea cucumber Holothuria spinifera Theel

For large-scale seed production of sea cucumbers through a hatchery system, it is imperative to know the effects of environmental parameters on larval rearing. Auricularia larvae (48 h post-fertilization) were obtained from induced spawning of Holothuria spinifera and used in experiments to ascertain the effects of temperature, salinity and pH on the growth and survivorship of the larvae. The larvae were reared for 12 days at temperatures of 20, 25, 28 and 32 °C; salinities of 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 ppt; and pH of 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 7.8, 8.0, 8.5 and 9.0. The highest survivorship and growth rate and fastest development of auricularia indicated that water temperature of 28–32 °C, salinity of 35 ppt and pH of 7.8 were the most suitable conditions for rearing larvae of H. spinifera.     

Abnormalities in the juvenile stage of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) reared at different temperatures: types, prevalence and effect on growth

Osteological malformations are always considered an important problem in intensive aquaculture. This work studies the effect of rearing temperature on malformations in sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax. To this end, two batches of the species were subjected to the following incubation/cultivation temperatures: 15 °C/natural and 19/19 °C, from fertilization until 190 days after hatching. The different malformations were studied in 1643 juveniles at 190 days and classified by categories. The Chi-square statistic was calculated to verify the relationship between the presence of anomalies and the application of different temperatures. The percentage of anomalies observed in individuals reared at a high temperature (19/19 °C) was 66.44%. In both temperature systems, opercular malformations were those which caused a greater delay in growth. The results found indicated that temperature played a very important role in the development of deformations, which may be of interest from the viewpoint of aquaculture.
