猪粪农用的生态风险——以东北黑土为例

集约化养殖大量使用铜(Cu)作为饲料添加剂会在养殖废物的排放和利用中导致一定的环境问题。随着东北老工业基地产业结构的调整，畜牧业作为东北地区二次振兴的主要产业得到迅速发展，由此会产生大量的畜禽粪便用于农业土壤施肥。而东北地区又是我国重要的农副产品生产基地，研究畜禽粪便农用的健康及环境风险就显得殊为必要。黑土是东北地区最主要的土壤类型，本文以东北黑土为供试材料，通过在盆栽实验中添加不同Cu浓度的猪粪来模拟施肥年限不同的菜园土，研究土壤中Cu累积对小白菜(Brassica chinensis L.)地上部分生物量与Cu含量、土壤微生物生物量和土壤酶(脱氢酶、脲酶、酸性磷酸酶)活性、微生物群落功能多样性以及对土壤功能微生物——氨氧化古菌(AOA)和氨氧化细菌(AOB)等的影响，从而实现含Cu猪粪农用对食物链途径的健康风险以及土壤生态系统的生态风险的综合评价。 研究结果表明，施用猪粪显著地改善了土壤的pH，增加了小白菜地上部分生物量，对其体内Cu浓度则没有显著影响;小白菜地上部分Cu浓度与土壤全Cu和水溶态Cu浓度显著正相关(P<0.01)，而地上生物量与土壤全Cu浓度显著负相关(P<0.05)。当土壤全Cu浓度达到300 mg kg-1后，小白菜地上部分生物量受到强烈抑制。 猪粪的施用在一定时期内显著地促进了脱氢酶和脲酶的活性，但随土壤Cu浓度的增加，脱氢酶、脲酶和酸性磷酸酶的活性逐渐受到抑制。当土壤全Cu浓度达到300 mg kg-1后，微生物生物量、脱氢酶、脲酶、酸性磷酸酶等均受到强烈抑制。 施加猪粪提高了土壤微生物群落功能多样性，当土壤Cu浓度达到170 mg kg-1后，显著地抑制了微生物群落功能多样性。种植小白菜后，各处理间微生物群落功能多样性没有显著差异，意味着植物能够维持微生物群落功能多样性。主成分分析(PCA)结果显示，当土壤全Cu浓度达到300 mg kg-1后，微生物群落功能多样性与其它处理显著不同。 猪粪显著地促进了土壤的硝化潜势速率(PNR)。随着Cu浓度的增加，硝化潜势速率逐渐受到抑制，当土壤全Cu浓度达到170 mg kg-1后，即与对照无显著差异。植物在维持硝化速率方面也起到重要作用。古菌amoA基因在每克干土中的拷贝数在9.4*106~2.59*107，细菌amoA基因在每克干土中的拷贝数约为1.48*106~1.41*107。猪粪在一定时期内显著地增加了AOA和AOB的数量，当土壤Cu浓度达到300 mg kg-1后，AOA和AOB的数量显著下降，并且AOA与AOB amoA基因拷贝数的比值增加，在小白菜栽种前(B1)和小白菜收获后(B2)分别为2.33和9.26，这意味着在高Cu浓度胁迫下，AOA的耐受性更强。古菌与细菌的amoA拷贝数与PNR之间则没有显著的相关关系，意味着AOA和AOB种群结构以及其中某些种群的活性可能发生了变化。 本文通过对东北黑土菜地土壤中Cu在作物体内的迁移积累及其对土壤微生物学指标(微生物生物量、酶活性、微生物群落功能多样性及功能微生物)的影响的综合研究，揭示了含Cu猪粪农用所造成的健康和生态风险，为建立适宜的土壤环境质量标准提供了一定的科学依据。通过本研究得出，黑土蔬菜种植中Cu浓度的阈值在170-300 mg kg-1之间。

Respiratory metabolism in Oreochromis mossambicus, Peters under different environmental conditions

Oxygen consumption in Oreochromis mossambicus, Peters (3-60g in weight) was measured under different stress conditions at a constant temperature of 20±1°C. The rate of oxygen consumption was significantly higher (0.170 ml gˉ¹hˉ¹)at a salinity of 30x10ˉ³ compared with that (0.132ml gˉ¹hˉ¹) in freshwater. The oxygen consumption was also found to be affected by changes in pH. Weight specific rate decreased significantly from 0.113 to 0.045 ml gˉ¹hˉ¹ with increasing body weight. A positive correlation was recorded between availability of dissolved oxygen and the rate of oxygen consumption by the fish. While copper sulphate and malachite green inhibited the respiratory metabolism, formaldehyde treatment raised it from 0.088 to 0.118ml gˉ¹hˉ¹.

Sampling of frozen prawns for bacteriological estimation

Experiments were conducted to study the significance of difference between samples taken from the surface and interior of a frozen shrimps block, as well as to determine the size of sample necessary to represent the whole block, with respect to bacterial count determination. The results showed that the surface samples and interior samples did not differ significantly at 5% level of significance and that the minimum quantity representative of the block was 21-26 gms in the case of a block weighing about 1300 gms. The procedure adopted for taking the bacterial count was the normal standard plate count method.
