象山港网箱养殖区与非养殖区的细菌群落分布

近海集约化养殖是导致我国近海污染的主要来源之一。浮游细菌在近海生态系统的物质循环过程中发挥重要作用,研究海洋浮游细菌群落对养殖活动的响应,对于指示和评价海水养殖生态系统健康具有重要意义。采集了象山港网箱养殖区与非养殖区3个深度,包括表层(0.5 m)、中层(2.5 m)、底层(8.0 m)的水样,利用焦磷酸测序技术测定16S rRNA基因,研究浮游细菌的群落结构和多样性。结果表明:网箱养殖活动不仅使得附近区域水体理化性质发生改变,如化学需氧量浓度显著高于非养殖区域,而且显著地(P0.05)改变了浮游细菌的群落结构,但不同深度间群落结构和多样性的差异不显著。网箱养殖区和非养殖区中主要浮游细菌类群为α-变形菌(Alphaproteobacteria)、γ-变形菌(Gammaproteobacteria)、拟杆菌(Bacteroidetes)、放线菌(Actinobacteria)、β-变形菌(Betaproteobacteria)、ε-变形菌(Epsilonproteobacteria)和其它变形菌(Unclassified Proteobacteria),占细菌总序列数的98.64%。有些细菌类群的平均相对丰度从网箱区到非养殖区差异显著,如拟杆菌(P0.01)和放线菌(P0.05)显著降低,而γ-变形菌(P0.05)显著增加。相似度分析表明γ-变形菌、α-变形菌和拟杆菌是造成网箱区和非养殖区群落差异的主要类群,对群落差异总贡献率达到45.02%。偏冗余分析表明,影响细菌群落分布的主要环境因子有化学需氧量、磷酸盐、铵盐和总有机碳,共解释38.18%的群落变异,空间距离单独解释10.66%的群落变异。实验结果表明,养殖活动导致浮游细菌群落的改变,其中拟杆菌、放线菌和γ-变形菌的丰度显著变化,可能用于评价养殖水体的水质状况。     

海洋浮游纤毛虫在世界海区的时空分布

作为微型浮游动物的重要组成部分,海洋浮游纤毛虫是连接微食物环和经典食物链的重要中介,在海洋浮游生态系统物质循环和能量流动中发挥重要的作用.从20世纪60年代至今,关于纤毛虫丰度和生物量的分布已经积累了大量的资料,目前纤毛虫丰度和生物量分布的研究大部分集中在温带海区,热带和极地海区的研究尚少.本文概述了世界海区纤毛虫丰度和生物量的水平分布、垂直分布特点及周年变化规律.纤毛虫丰度和生物量一般在饵料丰富、生产力较高的海区较高;纤毛虫倾向分布在水体的中上层;纤毛虫的丰度和生物量一年之内呈现双峰型或单峰型,纤毛虫群落的粒级组成一般春季较大,夏季较小,砂壳纤毛虫丰度占纤毛虫丰度的比例一般在夏季或秋季较高.

夏季达里诺尔湖浮游细菌群落表、底层结构特征及其关键驱动因子

浮游细菌是湖泊水体物质循环和能量流动过程中的关键要素, 影响着整个生态系统的迁移转化。为探索中国北方典型内陆封闭型湖泊浮游细菌群落结构对环境因子变动的响应, 以夏季内蒙古达里诺尔湖(以下简称“达里湖”)为例, 采集表、底层水共32个样品, 基于16S rRNA基因测序, 详细分析了浮游细菌群落结构的表、底层变化特征及其主要影响因素, 结果显示: (1)夏季达里湖水体中浮游细菌群落多样性和均匀度均呈现表层＞底层, 丰富度则呈底层＞表层。(2)浮游细菌群落以变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、放线菌门(Actinobacteria)、蓝细菌门(Cyanobacteria)和拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)四大优势菌门为主要组成部分, 且变形菌门含量在表、底层水体中均占绝对优势: 在底层水中占比46.46 %, 在表层水中占比36.21 %。(3)基于不同环境因子和浮游细菌优势菌门间的Pearson相关性分析, 表层水体中总溶解性固体(TDS)、溶解态无机磷(DIP)是多数优势菌门的主要驱动因子, 而底层水体中的总氮(TN)、叶绿素a(Chl a)和水温(WT)为主要驱动因子。总的来说, 达里诺尔湖表、底层浮游细菌群落结构与不同环境因子间存在显著相关, 而水体环境因子的表、底层差异是影响多数优势菌门演化的重要因素。     

退耕还湿后土壤细菌群落结构和生物量变化过程

土壤细菌对湿地生态系统功能和健康维持起着重要作用。以菜子湖原始湿地、不同退耕年限湿地(3a、7a、11a和21a)和仍耕作油菜地土壤为研究对象,应用聚合酶链式反应-变性梯度凝胶电泳(PCR-DGGE)、高通量测序和磷脂脂肪酸(PLFAs)方法分析土壤细菌群落组成和生物量,探讨它们在退耕还湿后的变化过程及其影响因素。结果表明,退耕还湿后土壤变形菌门(α-变形菌纲、β-变形菌纲和δ-变形菌纲)、酸杆菌门(酸杆菌纲和全噬菌纲)、Nitrospinae(Nitrospinia纲)和硝化螺旋菌门(硝化螺旋菌纲)相对丰度先增高后降低;这些参与氮循环的土壤细菌对退耕后湿地生态恢复过程中土壤氮素提升起着重要作用。与农业生产活动密切关联的厚壁菌门(芽孢杆菌纲和梭菌纲)和放线菌门(放线菌纲)相对丰度逐渐降低。湿地土壤细菌多样性在退耕初期(3—7a)上升达到最大,退耕中后期逐渐降低。表层土壤各类群细菌生物量逐渐升高,亚表层土壤各类群细菌生物量则先降后升再降。水分条件和容重是与研究区土壤细菌群落结构和多样性密切相关的土壤因子,而全氮是与土壤细菌生物量密切相关的土壤因子。研究从生态过程视角解析了土壤细菌群落较详...     

珠江口水体浮游细菌种群多样性空间分布特征

为认识珠江口水体浮游细菌的多样性分布规律,运用聚合酶链式反应-变性梯度凝胶电泳(PCR-DGGE)和多维尺度分析(MDS)的方法,研究了春季珠江口十个站位表底水层浮游细菌种群16SrRNA基因多样性特征。研究结果表明,珠江口浮游细菌种群具有丰富的基因多样性;不同站位细菌群落结构和优势种群变化显著:大多数站位表底层细菌群落结构比较相似,河口外站位(A12,A14和C5),表底层细菌群落结构差异性较大:多样性分析表明A14,B6和C5站位底层细菌多样性大于表层。遗传发育分析表明,序列归属于变形细菌(Proteobacteria),酸杆菌(Acidobacteria),蓝细菌(Cyanobacteria),厚壁细菌(Firmicutes)和放线菌(Actinobacteria)。变形细菌(Proteobacteria)种类最多,从河口内淡水区到河口外海水区都有大量分布,是珠江口水域占优势的菌群;同时也检测到种类丰富的放线菌(Actinobacteria)的存在,也是珠江口水域的优势菌群。     

太湖夏季浮游细菌群落多样性的空间格局简

为了研究太湖夏季浮游细菌群落多样性与水体营养盐的关系,在太湖全湖范围内开展了一次大规模浮游细菌采样调查,分析了太湖不同湖区浮游细菌丰度和多样性组成。研究发现,浮游细菌丰度在不同湖区中存在明显的空间差异,从北部和西部湖区沿湖流向东南方向至湖心和南部沿岸再到东部湖区呈下降趋势,这与太湖水体营养水平从高到低变化趋势一致。浮游细菌丰度与营养盐浓度回归分析结果显示,总磷(TP)与细菌丰度存在较好的正相关(R2=0.6392,n=29,P0.01),而总氮(TN)与细菌丰度无显著相关(R2=0.0663,n=29,P0.05)。因此,磷是太湖夏季浮游细菌生长的限制因子。不同湖区营养盐与浮游细菌群落多样性也具有显著的正相关,随着营养水平的升高,浮游细菌多样性增加。此外,细菌群落的组成在不同湖区间亦具有明显的空间异质性,与不同湖区营养水平空间变化一致。研究结果将有助于人们更好地理解淡水湖泊中微生物循环和生态系统功能。     

小兴安岭大亮子河国家森林公园不同生境下土壤细菌多样性和群落结构

土壤细菌是森林生态系统的一个重要组成成分, 是生态系统中物质循环和能量流动的重要参与者, 细菌群落组成和生物多样性是反映土壤生态功能的重要指标。本文利用高通量测序技术分析了大亮子河国家森林公园内红松(Pinus koraiensis)林、落叶松(Larix gmelinii)林、蒙古栎(Quercus mongolica)林、枫桦(Betula costata)林、针阔混交林、灌木林和草甸等7种不同生境土壤细菌群落组成和多样性的差异性, 探讨该地区土壤细菌群落对不同生境的响应, 为地区森林生态系统的经营管理及生态系统稳定性的维护提供科学理论基础。在门的水平上, 各生境的细菌群落组成基本一致, 其中变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、放线菌门(Actinobacteria)、酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria)和疣微菌门(Verrucomicrobia)在7种生境土壤中相对丰度均大于10.0%, 是细菌中的优势菌门。在属的水平上, 共测得245个菌属, 各样地共有属118个, 占总属数的48.2%, 占总相对丰度的97.8%; 优势菌属分别为Spartobacteria_ genera_incertae_sedis、Gaiella、Gp16、Gp4, 占总相对丰度的47.0%, Spartobacteria_genera_incertae_sedis在7种生境土壤中丰度均最高。7种生境下的土壤细菌多样性和土壤理化因子存在着显著的差异, 红松林的土壤细菌群落多样性和丰富度均高于其他生境。土壤pH是大亮子河森林公园影响土壤细菌多样性的关键因子。     

北部湾近岸海域浮游动物群落结构特征及季节变化

2017年3月(枯水期)、7月(丰水期)和10月(平水期)分别对北部湾近岸海域44个站位的浮游动物进行了调查。结果共检出浮游动物251种和浮游幼体24类,其中枯水期138种(类),丰水期134种(类),平水期191种(类),分属河口低盐、近岸暖温、近岸暖水和外海暖水4个生态类群。优势种9种,其中枯水期以原生动物占绝对优势,丰水期以枝角类、桡足类和浮游幼体类占优势,平水期以十足类和浮游幼体类占优势。浮游动物丰度年均值为789.95个/m~3,呈现出枯水期(1540.19个/m~3)明显高于平水期(457.58个/m~3)和丰水期(372.08个/m~3)的季节变化特征;浮游动物生物量年均值为252.40 mg/m~3,生物量的季节变化与丰度变化不一致,平水期生物量(385.01 mg/m~3)明显高于枯水期(221.41 mg/m~3)和丰水期(150.78 mg/m~3)。多样性指数平水期最高(3.16),丰水期(2.35)次之,枯水期(2.22)最低。枯水期和丰水期北部湾近岸海域浮游动物生物量和丰度水平分布特征基本呈现自河口近岸海域向外海递增的趋势,平水期浮游动物生物量与丰度的空间分布较为均匀。浮游动物的种类组成结构以及优势种的演替对浮游动物的生物量和丰度季节变化有着重要的决定作用。径流导致的悬浮物、营养盐等的变化可能是决定北部湾近岸海域浮游动物生物量和丰度空间分布的主要因素。研究还表明与其他海湾相比,北部湾近岸海域浮游动物群落结构趋于小型化,需加大关注。     

东太湖地区湿地水质与浮游细菌群落结构关联性研究

[目的]考察东太湖地区湿地水质与浮游细菌群落结构之间的关联,探索对湿地水质具有指示作用的微生物。[方法]应用高通量测序研究浮游细菌群落结构;通过相关性分析考察了浮游细菌群落多样性与水质的关联,并运用LEf Se分析定位不同水质水样的标志微生物。[结果]东太湖湿地浮游细菌主要分布于放线菌门(相对丰度34.78%)、变形菌门(26.30%)及蓝细菌门(19.28%)等7个门;水质指标综合得分与浮游细菌群落香农-威纳指数和辛普森指数分别显著相关(r=-0.597,p0.05;r=0.694,p0.01);蓝细菌门与伯克氏菌科的相对丰度在不同水质水样中差异最为显著(LDA得分4.0)。[结论]东太湖地区,较高的浮游细菌多样性表征较好的湿地水质;蓝细菌相对丰度较高(27.80%)指示湿地水质较差,而伯克氏菌相对丰度较高(5.48%)指示湿地水质相对较好。     

深圳近海表层浮游细菌分布特征及其环境影响因素

于2015年3月、5月、8月和10月在深圳市近岸海域(珠江口、深圳湾和大亚湾)采集表层水样,利用流式细胞仪测定总浮游细菌、高DNA含量亚群细菌(HNA)、低DNA含量亚群细菌(LNA)的丰度,分析它们的时空分布特点,阐释环境因子对浮游细菌时空分布格局的影响。结果表明,珠江口、深圳湾和大亚湾海域表层浮游细菌的平均丰度依次降低,分别为3.82×10~6个/mL、7.67×10~6个/mL和3.38×10~6个/mL。珠江口海域浮游细菌丰度由远岸到近岸递增,深圳湾海域湾内各站位浮游细菌丰度差异较小,大亚湾海域浮游细菌丰度空间差异不显著(P0.05)。浮游细菌丰度时间差异主要受温度影响,空间差异主要受营养盐和叶绿素a影响。HNA亚群丰度时空差异性比LNA亚群的大,HNA亚群受温度影响显著(P0.01),而LNA亚群与温度相关性不显著(P0.05)。环境对HNA和LNA亚群丰度的影响有许多相似之处,但两者对某些环境因子有着不同的响应,说明它们在近海表层生态系统中可能扮演着部分重叠但略有不同的角色。     

我国主要河口沉积物中多环芳烃细菌降解及生物修复强化方式的研究进展

河口是海洋及陆地交互作用的集中地带,其生态环境的健康状况对所在地区人类居住及社会经济的可持续发展十分重要。近年来,河口城市的快速发展导致了大量的多环芳烃(polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,PAHs)在河口沉积物中积累,持久地影响水生生态系统的健康,其降解与转化逐渐成为近年来的研究热点。本文总结发现,我国主要河口(珠江口、长江口、辽河口、海河口)沉积物中的PAHs降解菌主要分布于假单胞菌门、放线菌门及芽孢杆菌门,其中克雷伯氏菌属、芽孢杆菌属及假单胞菌属报道较多。在河口沉积物中,PAHs的细菌降解主要是通过低效率的厌氧降解途径。低氧、高盐度是PAHs细菌降解的不利条件,温度与pH值的变化也为实地生物修复的应用效率带来了不确定性。表面活性剂、营养物与外源电子受体的添加以及共代谢作用均可促进沉积物细菌对PAHs的降解。目前多数研究以实验室规模开展,而河口沉积物生境复杂,建议未来针对河口沉积物的环境特点进行PAHs降解功能菌株种质资源的挖掘,并根据实际情况灵活制定强化策略。本综述为进一步从我国主要河口沉积物中筛选PAHs高效降解菌及其利用提供了思路与参考。     

2010年夏季珠江口海域颗粒有机碳的分布特征及其来源

于2010年8月对珠江口海域20个站位的颗粒有机碳(POC)进行采样,分析了POC的空间分布特征,讨论了POC与环境因子之间的关系,并利用碳稳定同位素(δ13C)分析了POC的来源及其贡献率。结果显示,研究区域POC的浓度范围98.5—1929.8μg/L,平均浓度541.9μg/L,空间分布总体呈现自北部海域向中部海域逐渐降低,中部海域至南部海域又逐渐升高,底层大于表层的特点。总悬浮颗粒物、叶绿素a、水动力是影响POC空间分布的重要原因。研究区域总悬浮颗粒物δ13C值的变化范围-27.05‰—-21.03‰,平均为-24.57‰,反映出珠江口海域颗粒有机碳为陆源和水生源混合来源,其分布呈现沿盐度梯度自口门内向口门外逐渐递增,底层高于表层的特点。陆源输入和海洋生物生产是影响δ13C值分布的主要原因。运用二元混合模型计算得知,珠江口北部和中部海域POC以陆源有机碳为主,贡献率平均为64%;南部海域POC以水生源有机碳为主,贡献率平均为68%。与20多年前相比,POC的分布特征与来源已经发生了改变,珠江口海域含沙量减少与营养盐含量增加可能是导致POC组成发生变化的主要原因。     

Influence of salt marsh on bacterial activity in two estuaries with different hydrodynamic characteristics (Ria de Aveiro and Tagus Estuary)

The influence of salt marsh on estuarine bacterioplankton was investigated in two estuaries with different hydrodynamic characteristics (Ria de Aveiro and Tagus Estuary). In the Ria de Aveiro, bacteria in the flood water overlying the marsh were two times more abundant and five to six times more active than in the main channel. In the Tagus Estuary, bacterial abundance was similar in flooding and channel water, but bacterial activity was up to two times higher in the main channel. The two salt marshes have distinct influences on estuarine bacterioplankton abundance and activity. In the Ria de Aveiro, salt marsh enhanced estuarine bacterial communities, increasing their size and stimulating their activity. By contrast, the salt marsh in the Tagus Estuary does not seem to increase the bacterial abundance and production in the channel water. These distinct influences may be explained by the hydrodynamic characteristics of the salt marshes, which were confirmed by the hydrodynamic model implemented for both systems.     

Fish assemblage in the Pearl River Estuary: Spatial‐seasonal variation,environmental influence and trends over the past three decades

The Pearl River Estuary is the largest estuary in South China and plays a considerable role in the local fisheries economy, yet little is known about the current state of fish assemblage in this ecosystem. To quantify spatial‐seasonal variations, environmental influences, and trends over the past three decades of the fish assemblage in the Pearl River Estuary, we sampled 11 sites seasonally from December 2013 to September 2016. Throughout the study, 285 species from 88 families and 195 genera were collected. There were obvious spatial and seasonal variations of the fish assemblage in terms of the dominant species, species richness, and composition of ecological types. Mouth distance, NH₄⁺ N, chlorophyll‐a, flow, DO, salinity and water transparency were the main variables influencing the spatial‐temporal dynamic of fishes within the estuarine systems. Compared with the record of 330 species in the 1980s, the number of fish species in the Pearl River Estuary has declined by 45 fish species. The Jaccard's similarity of fish composition between the historical investigation (the 1980's) and the present investigation (2013–2016) was 0.62, with 95 species undiscovered and 50 species increased in the present study compared to the 1980s, indicating the assemblage structure has obviously changed. However, in term of ecological guilds, there was no significant difference in the composition of all the selected ecological traits between these two periods. Anthropogenic activities including overfishing, introducing alien fish, dam construction and pollution were considered the main disturbance on fish composition over the past three decades. We conclude that there existed pronounced spatiotemporal changes of fish assemblages, which arises from the compounding effects of environmental factors and anthropogenic activities. These findings are beneficial to understanding and developing suitable conservation strategies for the management and protection of fish resources in the Pearl River Estuary.     

极端天气陆地河流面源污染对珠江河口叶绿素分布的影响——评价方法构建与应用

近十年来,随着我国粤港澳大湾区的建设,珠江流域人口增长十分迅速,食品和能源需求急剧增加,导致流域上游省份农业用地面积增加,下游省份城市化进程加速,随之导致含农业化肥的农田灌溉用水和生活污水排放大幅度增加。流域的面源污染物进入珠江河口,导致河口海域赤潮发生频率明显增高。此外,全球变暖加剧了南海和西太台风等极端天气事件的发生频率,大量的台风在珠江口附近登陆,对人类活动产生的营养盐在海水中再分布产生较大影响。现场及卫星观测表明,台风等极端天气影响浮游植物时空分布的4个主要影响因子为：海水的垂直混合、流域的降水增加、河流淡水及营养盐的大量输入及风场变化。但是,尚未对这些因子如何影响叶绿素分布进行过清晰阐释。研究构建了粤港澳大湾区陆海气集成模拟系统,一方面通过控制实验来对模式敏感性进行测试,另一方面以台风“天鸽”过境珠江口为例,来对台风过境期间海表叶绿素时空变化机理进行探究。结果表明,陆地模式径流分辨率的提高对模拟结果有很大影响,台风“天鸽”过境时,向岸的风抑制了珠江冲淡水排出,促进外海水涌入,提高海表盐度,降低叶绿素浓度。而台风所致的陆地降水在过境后四天(8月27日)通过径流输出至河口,此次剧...     

High salinity gradients and intermediate spatial scales shaped similar biogeographical and co-occurrence patterns of microeukaryotes in a tropical freshwater-saltwater ecosystem

Microeukaryotes play key ecological roles in the microbial web of aquatic ecosystems. However, large knowledge gaps urgently need to be filled regarding the biogeography with associated shaping mechanisms and co-occurrence patterns of microeukaryotes under freshwater-saltwater gradients, especially true in tropical regions. Here, we investigated microeukaryotes of six mixed freshwater-saltwater regions in the Pearl River Estuary and surrounding coasts in southern China, with salinity ranging 0.1–32.0% and distances spanned up to 500 km, using molecular ecological methods. Results indicate that the biogeography of abundant and rare microeukaryotic communities was similar, both their co-occurrence patterns and biogeographical patterns were driven by deterministic and stochastic processes. The environmental factors with higher selective pressure than dispersal limitation meant that the role of deterministic process in structuring communities was more significant than that of stochastic process, and salinity played important role in structuring both microeukaryotic communities and networks. The abundant communities had stronger influence on entire microeukaryotic communities and seemed to be more sensitive to environmental changes than their rare counterparts, while rare ones had stronger interspecific relationships. Finally, the geographic scale and environmental gradients of study regions should firstly be clarified in future research on the ecological processes of microeukaryotes before conclusions are drawn.     

Climate‐related changes of soil characteristics affect bacterial community composition and function of high altitude and latitude lakes

Lakes at high altitude and latitude are typically unproductive ecosystems where external factors outweigh the relative importance of in‐lake processes, making them ideal sentinels of climate change. Climate change is inducing upward vegetation shifts at high altitude and latitude regions that translate into changes in the pools of soil organic matter. Upon mobilization, this allochthonous organic matter may rapidly alter the composition and function of lake bacterial communities. Here, we experimentally simulate this potential climate‐change effect by exposing bacterioplankton of two lakes located above the treeline, one in the Alps and one in the subarctic region, to soil organic matter from below and above the treeline. Changes in bacterial community composition, diversity and function were followed for 72 h. In the subarctic lake, soil organic matter from below the treeline reduced bulk and taxon‐specific phosphorus uptake, indicating that bacterial phosphorus limitation was alleviated compared to organic matter from above the treeline. These effects were less pronounced in the alpine lake, suggesting that soil properties (phosphorus and dissolved organic carbon availability) and water temperature further shaped the magnitude of response. The rapid bacterial succession observed in both lakes indicates that certain taxa directly benefited from soil sources. Accordingly, the substrate uptake profiles of initially rare bacteria (copiotrophs) indicated that they are one of the main actors cycling soil‐derived carbon and phosphorus. Our work suggests that climate‐induced changes in soil characteristics affect bacterioplankton community structure and function, and in turn, the cycling of carbon and phosphorus in high altitude and latitude aquatic ecosystems.     

Effects of zooplankton carcasses degradation on freshwater bacterial community composition and implications for carbon cycling

Non-predatory mortality of zooplankton provides an abundant, yet, little studied source of high quality labile organic matter (LOM) in aquatic ecosystems. Using laboratory microcosms, we followed the decomposition of organic carbon of fresh ¹³C-labelled Daphnia carcasses by natural bacterioplankton. The experimental setup comprised blank microcosms, that is, artificial lake water without any organic matter additions (B), and microcosms either amended with natural humic matter (H), fresh Daphnia carcasses (D) or both, that is, humic matter and Daphnia carcasses (HD). Most of the carcass carbon was consumed and respired by the bacterial community within 15 days of incubation. A shift in the bacterial community composition shaped by labile carcass carbon and by humic matter was observed. Nevertheless, we did not observe a quantitative change in humic matter degradation by heterotrophic bacteria in the presence of LOM derived from carcasses. However, carcasses were the main factor driving the bacterial community composition suggesting that the presence of large quantities of dead zooplankton might affect the carbon cycling in aquatic ecosystems. Our results imply that organic matter derived from zooplankton carcasses is efficiently remineralized by a highly specific bacterial community, but does not interfere with the bacterial turnover of more refractory humic matter.     

珠江口伶仃洋海域底层游泳动物的季节变化

珠江口伶仃洋海域是渔业资源的重要栖息地,近年来由于人类活动的加剧导致生态环境质量下降。为进一步了解栖息环境恶化对渔业资源的影响,于2009年8月至2010年4月采用底拖网在珠江口伶仃洋海域进行了游泳动物4个季节的调查。共鉴定游泳动物92种,其中鱼类54种,甲壳类32种和头足类6种。游泳动物种数夏季最高,为52种,春季最低,仅35种,春、夏季和冬、春季种类季节更替显著。优势种组成较为稳定,以日本蟳(Charybdis japonica)、黑斑口虾蛄(Oratosquilla kempi)和棘头梅童鱼(Collichthys lucidus)为主要优势种,其中日本蟳为全年优势种,平均尾数密度占总密度的8.07%～26.22%。游泳动物资源密度和尾数密度季节变化趋势一致,均为夏季最高,秋季和春季次之,冬季最低。珠江口伶仃洋海域温度和盐度有明显的季节变化,夏季和秋季温度较高,盐度较低,冬季和春季温度较低,而盐度较高。温度是伶仃洋海域游泳动物种类和数量季节变化的主要因子。与历史资料比较,珠江口主要经济鱼、虾类出现小型化趋势。
