滤食性贝类对浅海养殖系统生源要素动态的影响

在浅海养殖系统中，生源要素的形态和动态对滤食性贝类生长有着重要影响，与此同时，滤食性贝类对系统中的生源要素的动态也具有重要作用，国外学者对此研究的比较多，但在我国研究甚少。在本论文中利用室内模拟实验和海上调查的方法，研究滤食性贝类的生物过滤、生物沉积及排泄作用对浅海养殖系统中生源要素动态的影响。室内模拟实验部分：1998年4月至6月间，在烟台利用室内规格相同的水池，建立了栉孔贝扇（Chlamys farreri）不同养殖密度单养、栉孔扇贝和海带（Laminaria japonica）混养、栉孔扇贝和海带、刺参（Apostichopus japonicus）多元化养殖等三种养殖模式，九个养殖系统和一个对照系统，实验中各池的温度、光照、盐度和换水量基本一致，定期测定实验池中颗粒有机碳（POC）、颗粒氮（PN）和水体及沉积物中营养盐的含量。实验结果表明：1 栉孔扇贝大量滤食水体中的颗粒物质，导致水体中颗粒物质浓度的降低，水体中POC和PN的现存量与栉孔扇贝的放养密度负相关，水体中颗粒物的缺乏会限制栉孔扇贝的生长，当POC、PN的现存量分别降低到0.09mg/L、0.015mg/L时，就会限制栉孔扇贝的生长。2 栉孔扇贝排泄代谢产物增加了水体中无机营养盐的浓度，栉孔扇贝排泄的氮以NH_4~+-N为主，占三氮的93.5%；海带可为栉孔扇贝生长提供一部分饵料。3 实验期间硅浓度低于或近于2umol/L，限制了硅藻的生长，实验后期水体中氮盐浓度降低，氮磷比小于10，可能限制了浮游植物的生长，减少了栉孔扇贝的饵料生物，从而抑制了栉孔扇贝的生长。4 在栉孔扇贝单养和贝藻参混养系列中，沉积物中有机物、有机碳、有机氮、有机磷及总磷的含量随栉孔扇贝放养密度的增大而减少。5 在贝藻混养系列中的栉孔扇贝生长好于单养系列，在贝藻参混养系列中的海带生长速度快于贝藻混养系列；单养和贝藻参混养模式中栉栉孔扇贝的日产量均以放养密度中等的（20个/m~2）养殖系统较高。海上调查部分：于1997年冬季、1998年春季和夏季，在烟台四十里湾海区进行了三次野外调查，分别在养殖海区和非养殖海区取得沉积物柱状样，测定沉积物中有机质和间隙水中无机营养盐的含量。实验结果表明：6 养殖区沉积物中有机质的含量大于非养殖区，平均高约22%。7 养殖海区沉积物间隙水中营养盐的浓度大于非养殖海区，其中养殖区NH_4~+-N、PO_4~(3-)-P 的浓度分别高于非养殖区50%和200%-400%，NO_3~--N, NO_2~--N 的浓度差别不明显；沉积物间隙水中营养盐浓度冬季较小，而春夏季浓度较高；氮盐以NH_4~+-N 为主，占90%以上。8 养殖海区沉积物－海水界面间营养盐扩散通量大于非养殖海区，烟台四十里湾沉积物－海水界面间NH_4~+-N, PO_4~(3-)-P, NO_3~--N, NO_2~--N 冬、春、夏三季平均扩散通分别为249.99 umol/m~2/d、3.78 umol/m~2/d、5.24 umol/m~2/d、0.83mol/m~2/d。

Isolation and identification of bacteria associated with the surfaces of several algal species

We conducted this study to assess the diversity of bacteria associated with the surfaces of algae based on 16S rDNA sequence analyses. Twelve strains of bacteria were obtained from the surfaces of the following four species of algae: Gracilaria textorii, Ulva pertusa, Laminaria japonica, and Polysiphonia urceolata. The isolated strains of bacteria can be divided into two groups: Halomonas and Vibrio, in physiology, biochemical characteristics and 16S rDNA sequence analyses. The phylogenetic tree constructed based on 16S rDNA sequences of the isolates shows four obvious clusters, Halomonas venusta, Vibrio tasmaniensis, Vibrio lentus, and Vibrio splendidus. Isolates from the surface of P. urceolata are more abundant and diverse, of which strains P9 and P28 have a 16S rDNA sequence very similar (97.5%-99.8%) to that of V. splendidus. On the contrary, the isolates from the surfaces of G textorii, U. pertusa and L. japonica are quite simple and distribute on different branches of the phylogenetic tree. In overall, the results of this study indicate that the genetic relationships among the isolates are quite close and display a certain level of host species specificity, and alga-associated bacteria species are algal species specific.

Growth, pigmentation and activity of juvenile Japanese eels in relation to temperature and fish size

The growth and activity of juvenile Japanese eels Anguilla Japonica in different pigmentation stages from the glass eel to the elver stage were studied in the laboratory at 15, 20 and 25degrees C. The growth and activity of the eels were significantly influenced by both temperature and fish size. Growth rate generally declined with increasing fish size, and fish were least active and experienced a low growth during the pigmenting stage at all temperatures. They were nocturnal and spent significantly more time moving (swimming, feeding and moving over the substratum) at 20 and 25degrees C than at 15degrees C at night within each pigmentation stage. Accordingly, they grew significantly Faster at 20 and 25degrees C than at 15degrees C throughout the study. The development of pigmentation appeared to be dependant on water temperature but not on fish size. This study suggested that the growth and activity of juvenile Japanese eels were positively correlated, because fish were least active and grew slowest at low temperature (15degrees C) or during the pigmenting stage at all temperatures.

Sorption and desorption of Cu and Cd by macroalgae and microalgae

The sorption and desorption of Cu and Cd by two species of brown macroalgae and five species of microalgae were studied. The two brown macroalgae, Laminaria japonica and Sargassum kjellmanianum, were found to have high capacities at pHs between 4.0 and 5.0 while for microalgae, optimum pH lay at 6.7. The presence of other cations in solution was found to reduce the sorption of the target cation, suggesting a competition for sorption sites on organisms. Sorption isotherms obeyed the Freundlich equation, suggesting involvement of a multiplicity of mechanisms and sorption sites. For the microalgae tested, Spirulina platensis had the highest capacity for Cd, followed by Nannochloropsis oculata, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Platymonas cordifolia and Chaetoceros minutissimus. The reversibility of metal sorption by macroalgae was examined and the results show that both HCl and EDTA solutions were very effective in desorbing sorbed metal ions from macroalgae, with up to 99.5% of metals being recovered. The regenerated biomass showed undiminished sorption performance for the two metals studied, suggesting the potential of such material for use in water and wastewater treatment.

Meso-scale spatial distribution of large tintinnids in early summer in southern Yellow Sea

The spatial distribution of some large tintinnid species (nominally>76 mu m) was investigated according to samples collected by vertical towing in cruises to the southern Yellow Sea in summer 2000-2002 and 2004. Eight species were identified: Codonellopsis mobilis, Leprotintinnus netritus, Tintinnopsis karajacensis, T. japonica, T. kiaochowensis, T. butschlii, T. radix, and Parafavella sp. With maximum abundance of 158.2 ind/L in June 2004, C mobilis was the dominant species, lasting from May to July 2004. Tintinnid communities were patchy and distributed mainly in shallow waters along the shore.

The Bopyridae (Crustacea: Isopoda) parasitic on thalassinideans (Crustacea: Decapoda) from China

Eight species among six genera of bopyrid isopods (representing the subfamilies Pseudionmae and loninae) infesting thalassinideans from China are reported. Of these, four species are new to science: Gyge.fujianensis n. sp., Progebiophilits elongatus n. sp., Upogebione bidigitatus n. sp., and Procepon liuruiyui n. sp., infesting Upogebia major (de Haan), Nihonotrypaea japonica Ortmann, Upogebia carinicauda (Stimpson), and Austinogebia wuhsienweni (Yu). One species, lone cornuta Bate, 1864, is recorded for the first time from Chinese waters and from a new host. Pseudione longicauda Shiino, 1937, Gyge ovalis (Shiino, 1939), and Progebiophilus sinicus Markham, 1982, previously known from Hong Kong or Taiwan, are recorded for the first time from mainland China, extending their range north.

Fucoidan inhibits the development of proteinuria in active Heymann nephritis

Fucoidan, the sulphated polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, has various biological activities. The effect of fucoidan on the formation of proteinuria and renal functions in active Heymann nephritis was investigated in this study. Active Heymann nephritis was induced by administering brush border protein of rat proximal uriniferous tubules (FX1A). Fucoidan was administered by oral intubation to Heymann nephritis rats at three doses (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) once daily for 4 weeks. The elevated urinary protein excretion and plasma creatinine due to the induction of Heymann nephritis were significantly reduced by fucoidan at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg. The results indicated that fucoidan has a renoprotective effect on active Heymann nephritis and is a promising therapeutic agent for nephritis. Copyright (c) 2005 John Wiley F Sons, Ltd.

On two species of spider crabs of the genus Doclea (Crustacea : Decapoda : Brachyura : Majidae : Pisinae) from China, one of which is new

A new species of spider crab, Doclea unidentata, is described from the South China Sea. Allied to D. brachyrhynchos Bleeker, 1856, and D. macracanthus Bleeker, 1856, it can easily be distinguished by its very short, unidentate rostrum. The identity of Doclea canalifera Stimpson, 1857, is resolved with the selection of a neotype, and it is here regarded as a senior subjective synonym of D. japonica Ortmann, 1893. The taxonomy of this species as well as the allied D. ovis (Fabricius, 1787) is also discussed.

Determination of chemical species of iodine in some seaweeds .1.

The chemical species of iodine in seven marine algae Codium fragile, Ulva pertusa, Monostroma nitidum, Gracilaria confervoides, Sargassum Kjellmanianum, Dictyopteris divaricata and Laminaria japonica were studied using neutron activation analysis combined with chemical separation. The contents of total iodine, water-soluble iodine, soluble organic iodine, I- and IO3- were determined. The results indicate that the chemical species and contents of iodine in various algae are remarkably different. The highest iodine content of 734 mg/kg (wet basis) was found in Laminaria japonica, with 99.2% of the total iodine being water soluble. The iodine contents of the other six algae are lower and soluble iodine makes up 16-41% of the total. In the aqueous leachate, iodine is mainly I-, which amounts to 61-93% of total water-soluble iodine; the percentages of organic iodine making up 5.5-37.4%, while the contents of IO3- are the lowest, 1.4-4.5%. This result suggests that the mechanism of iodine enrichment is different for various algae and that its bioavailability varies as well. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

Extraction of the polysaccharides from five algae and their potential antioxidant activity in vitro

The sulfated polysaccharides extracted from algae possess excellent antioxidant activities. In this study, we prepared five polysaccharides extracted from five algae including one brown alga Laminaria japonica. one red alga Porphyra haitanensis and three green algae Ulva pertusa, Enteromorpha linza and Bryopsis plumose. And then the antioxidant activities of all the samples were investigated including scavenging effects of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, and reducing power. The chemical analysis and FT-IR spectrum showed these extracts were polysaccharides. And in addition, we found that certain polysaccharide exhibited stronger antioxidant activity in certain antioxidant activity. Factors effecting and attributing to radical scavenging effect need to be further studied. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
