夏季柘林湾-南澳岛海洋牧场营养盐的空间分布及其评价

柘林湾-南澳岛海洋牧场由网箱养殖区、贝类底播区、海藻养殖区和人工鱼礁区4个不同的功能区构成。根据2011年夏季（8月）海水营养盐的调查数据,分析其表层海水营养盐含量的空间分布特征,并对其污染现状进行综合评价。结果表明,氮、磷营养盐的空间分布均呈现由西北部柘林湾近岸海域向东南部海域递减的变化趋势。不同功能区中,无机氮（DIN）和活性磷酸盐（PO4-P）的高值出现在网箱养殖区,硅酸盐（SiO3-Si）的高值出现在贝类底播区,人工鱼礁区的营养盐水平均较低。单因子污染指数、污染物分担率和综合污染指数评价结果也表明,海洋牧场受到DIN和PO4-P污染的程度以及富营养化程度均呈现由西北海域向东南海域递减、近岸向离岸递减的变化趋势。网箱养殖区受DIN和PO4-P污染最重,呈现严重富营养化,其次为贝类底播区,而人工鱼礁区和对比区受到的污染程度均较轻。     

Density-dependent habitat selection and the ideal free distribution in marine fish spatial dynamics: considerations and cautions

Current methods and theory used in the study of the spatial dynamics of marine fish are problematic. Positive relationships between population abundance and occupied area are typically interpreted as evidence of density‐dependent habitat selection. However, both abundance and area may co‐vary with an un‐parameterized variable, such as a density‐independent effect. In addition, if density‐dependent habitat selection is present, population growth rates in optimal habitats would be expected to be lower than in marginal habitats. This same pattern can also evolve from a large‐scale, spatially autocorrelated change in a density‐independent factor. The theory underlying density‐dependent habitat selection, the ideal free distribution, can be tautological when no a priori information of how habitat suitability changes with density is known. In this case, an ideal free distribution can be defined for any pattern of habitat‐specific population growth rates. However, these problems are not insurmountable and solutions may be found by considering spatial variation in proxies of fitness and explicitly allowing for the relative importance of habitat selection (density dependent) and environmental (density independent) effects to vary with spatial scale.     

人工鱼礁对防城港海域小型岩礁性鱼类诱集效果研究

为探究人工鱼礁聚鱼效果,于 2017 年 2 月、4 月、9 月和 11 月主要通过声学探测技术,对防城港海域渔业资源密度、空间分布与大小组成进行了调查研究。结果显示,防城港人工鱼礁区及其临近海域 4 次调查共捕获各类游泳生物和底栖无脊椎动物 201 种,包括鱼类 126 种、蟹类 32 种、虾类 20 种、虾蛄类 11 种和头足类 12 种。双因素方差分析结果表明,调查海域渔业资源密度在时空层面上均存在显著性差异(P<0.001),且交互作用显著(P<0.001)。2 月调查海域人工鱼礁区渔业资源密度(547745 ind/n mile2)约为其周边海域(203990 ind/n mile2)的 2.68倍,表现出明显的聚鱼效果。其中,二长棘鲷(Parargyrops edita)、多齿蛇鲻(Saurida tumbil)、花斑蛇鲻(Sauridaundosquamis)等岩礁性底层鱼类为该季度主要优势种类。各航次人工鱼礁区小型个体所占比重较高,其平均目标强度(TS)分别为 55.6 dB(2 月)、 54.5 dB(4 月)、 53.6 dB(9 月)和 52.2 dB(11 月),随个体生长其平均 TS 呈稳步增大的变化趋势。在垂直方向上, 2 月和 4 月航次人工鱼礁区 90%以上回波单体主要分布在 9~16 m 中下水层。上述研究结果表明,人工鱼礁建设对防城港海域小型岩礁性鱼类表现出明显的向底层诱集的效果,该结果能为海洋牧场生态效应系统评价提供重要支撑。     

A feedback management procedure based on controlling the size of marine protected areas

ABSTRACT:   A feedback management procedure is proposed that is based on controlling the size of a Marine Protected Area (MPA): increasing the size of the MPA when the population is below a predetermined target level and reducing its size when it is above. The objective of fisheries management is to have the population size approximate the target level. Local stability was analyzed, to determine whether a population could remain close to the target level with small perturbations, using a generalized population dynamics model without including an age structure. The procedure was able to sustain the population at the target level if the target was set at a level that gives the maximum sustainable yield and if drastic changes in the MPA size were avoided. Global stability was analyzed numerically to determine whether a population would always approach the target level regardless of the present population size, using a specified model that allowed for temporal changes in the spatial distribution of a sedentary population. The procedure, which did not require direct control of catch quota or fishing effort, appeared to attain the objective successfully.

基于成像声呐的鱼类三维空间分布

针对海洋牧场中鱼群的三维空间分布问题,本研究提出一种利用成像声呐进行位置计算的方法。将成像声呐固定在船舷外侧的水下,并保证波束发射方向和声呐移动方向一致,通过走航的方式采集水下鱼群信息。首先对采集的原始数据进行图像处理,包括图像构建、背景去除、目标提取等,然后利用基于交互式多模型联合概率数据关联算法对水下目标进行关联处理,得到同一个目标在声呐水平视场中不同帧图像中的对应关系,在此基础上根据连续两帧图像中目标位置关系计算目标的空间坐标,最后结合关联算法获得多目标在三维空间中的运动轨迹以及深度分布情况。研究表明,本方法可以有效获取鱼群在水下的三维运动轨迹及其分布情况,这将为鱼类行为分析以及海洋牧场的资源评估提供技术支持。     

乌溪江水库富营养化程度及其影响因子时空分布探讨

为了解乌溪江水库主要水质指标的时空分布特征,探究其营养化程度的变化趋势,2019-2020年,对丽水市乌溪江水库的7个采样点（S1-S7）的水温、pH、总氮、总磷、叶绿素a等理化因子进行了监测。分析对比了综合营养指数和理化因子等关键指标在不同时期的分布特征。结果表明,乌溪江水库的营养盐浓度呈现出春夏高秋冬低、从上游（S1）至下游（S7）逐渐下降的趋势,平均综合营养指数也从47.1（S1）下降到32.5（S7）,整体上属于中营养化水库。总磷浓度在0.002-0.040mg/L间,平均值为0.012mg/L;总氮浓度在0.412-2.826mg/L间,氮的主要赋存形式为硝酸盐。叶绿素a含量均值为3.77 ug/L,河流区的叶绿素a含量显著高于下游的过渡区和湖泊区。分析表明：汛期地表径流带来的富营养化压力最大,同时也是氮磷等外源性营养盐输入水体的主要途径;WD、pH、TP和叶绿素a含量中等程度相关,水库生态系统具备很强的净化能力。但近年来富营养化程度加剧。     

The distribution of cod (Qadus morhua) in relation to temperature and oxygen level in the Gulf of St. Lawrence

Bottom temperature and oxygen level were measured in the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence during a ground-fish trawl survey held in August and September 1991. Cumulative relative frequencies of temperature and oxygen level and cumulative relative frequencies of temperature x cod and oxygen X cod were computed with consideration of the random stratified sampling scheme. A total of 84-3% of temperature x cod frequency cumulated from 2^oC to 4^oC, but only 25% of the frequency of temperature alone cumulated from 2^oC to 4^oC. At an oxygen level of 3.4 mg/1, only 2.6% of the oxygen X cod frequency had cumulated, while 24.3% of the cumulative frequency of oxygen alone was already observed at the same oxygen level. A comparison of the cumulative relative frequencies of temperature and of temperature X cod indicates that cod choose intermediate temperatures in the available range. A comparison of the cumulative relative frequencies of oxygen and of oxygen x cod indicate that cod avoid water with an oxygen level below 3.4 mg/1. This oxygen level is known to cause physiological stress in captivity. Data from the stations with oxygen levels ± 3.4 mg/1 were ignored, and the cumulative relative frequency of temperature was recomputed. As a result, the avoidance of cold water by cod was emphasized: 23% of the cumulative frequency of temperature alone was below 2^oC, and 47.8% was above 4^oC, in contrast to 17.2% and 57.5%, respectively, prior to removal of data from hypoxic stations.     

The pond's shape matters: differential growth,physiological condition and survival of epibenthic Farfantepenaeus aztecus postlarvae

As a function of the water quality provided by square, circular and oval experimental ponds, the growth, survival and oxygen requirements in epibenthic postlarvae of Farfantepenaeus aztecus were analysed in relation to their routine metabolism and apparent heat increment. Temperature, oxygen concentration, pH and salinity were measured daily in two experimental ponds of each shape. The postlarvae oxygen consumption during two 24‐h cycles, their growth, physiological condition and survival and the productivity in the ponds were estimated. Low values of pH, oxygen concentration and phytobenthos productivity, and reduced postlarvae relative growth and survival were observed in the square ponds. We suggest that the latter results from a deficient water circulation related to the effect of the pond's shape on dissolved oxygen levels and, consequently, on growth and survival. The postlarvae routine metabolism, including feeding, varied between 1.91 and 2.25 mg O₂ h^?1 g^?1 wet weight, whereas the minimum oxygen concentration needed in the ponds is approximately 4.25 mg O₂ L^?1. These conditions were achieved in the oval ponds concurrent with higher survival and growth values, in which individuals distributed randomly, for which we suggest that oval‐shaped ponds could be the most adequate for the culture of this and other penaeid species.     

Springtime abundance of chaetognaths in the shelf region of the northern Gulf of Alaska, with observations on the vertical distribution and feeding of Sagitta elegans

Chaetognatha were among the most dominant macrozooplankton taxa collected in 6 years of springtime collections, both throughout the water column and near-bottom on the continental shelf in the northern Gulf of Alaska. Three species ( Sagitta elegans, S. scrippsae, and Eukrohnia hamata ) were collected in 248 collections, although S. elegans was the numerically dominant species overall during most cruises. Collections taken in epibenthic sleds generally contained about two orders of magnitude more chaetognaths than those that sampled throughout the water column. Two size modes were apparent in the S. elegans size-frequency distributions which were believed to belong to different cohorts. Growth rate was on the order of 2–3 mm per month. The two cohorts showed asynchronous diel vertical distribution patterns, with the smaller individuals found near the surface during the day whereas the larger individuals were near the surface at night. About 7.5% of the S. elegans examined contained food. Copepods made up the majority (∼89% by number) of the diet of both large and small individuals. Euphausiid juveniles and cirripede larvae were also observed, as well as several incidences of cannibalism by large chaetognaths on smaller individuals. Based on the results of two diel series, this species was observed to feed mainly during the night-time.
