三江平原典型小叶章湿地土壤硝化反硝化作用与氧化亚氮排放

应用C₂H₂抑制原状土柱培育法研究了三江平原典型小叶章湿地土壤N₂O排放速率及反硝化速率的变化,分析了它们与环境因子的关系,并估算了N₂O排放量及反硝化损失量.结果表明：草甸沼泽土和腐殖质沼泽土N₂O排放速率的变化基本一致,其范围分别为0.020～0.089 kg N·hm^-2·d^-1和0.012～0.033 kg N·hm^-2·d^-1,前者的N₂O排放速率均明显高于后者(平均为1.79±1.07倍),且其差异达到显著水平(P＜0.05);二者反硝化速率的变化并不一致,其范围分别为0.024～0.127 kg N·hm^-2·d^-1和0.021～0.043 kg N·hm^-2·d^-1,前者的反硝化速率一般也要高于后者(平均为1.67±1.56倍),但其差异并未达到显著水平(P＞0.05);硝化作用在前者N₂O排放和氮素损失过程中发挥了重要作用,而反硝化作用则是导致后者N₂O排放和氮素损失的重要过程;氮素物质基础不是影响二者硝化-反硝化作用的重要因素;温度对前者硝化 反硝化作用的影响比后者更为明显,其反硝化速率与5、10和15 cm地温均呈显著正相关(P＜0.05);二者所处湿地水分条件的差异是导致其N₂O排放速率及反硝化速率差异的重要原因.生长季内,前者的N₂O排放量和反硝化损失量分别为5.216 kg N·hm^-2和6.166 kg N·hm^-2,而后者分别为3.196 kg N·hm^-2和4.407 kg N·hm^-2;在二者的反硝化产物中,N₂O/N₂的比率最高,分别为5.49和3.76,表明N₂在后者反硝化产物中所占的比例明显高于前者,说明季节积水条件会导致N₂O/N₂比例降低.

Filtration and clearance rates of Anadara grandis juveniles (Pelecypoda, Arcidae) with different temperatures and suspended matter concentrations

The mangrove cockle Anadara grandis (Broderip and Sowerby, 1829) is a potential candidate for aquaculture and for bioremediation of aquaculture effluents in the tropical and subtropical coastal areas of the eastern Pacific Ocean. Laboratory-produced spat are available, but there is no information on their responses to the range of environmental conditions to which they might be subject during the growth cycle. The aim of this study was to evaluate the filtration and clearance rates ofA. grandis spat (shell length 9.50+/-0.37 mm) with a food concentration (7.5 mgxl(-1)) at four different temperatures (22, 25, 28 and 31 degrees C, with pH=7.5+/-0.2 and O2 concentration of 6.4+/-0.5 mgxl(-1); experiment one); and with a temperature (25 degrees C) and five concentrations of suspended matter (from 7.5 to 29 mgxl(-1) and pH and O2 values of 7.9+/-0.2 and 6.8+/-0.4 mgxl(-1); experiment two). Filtration and clearance rates were highest at 25 degrees C and significantly different (p<.05) from those obtained at 22, 28 and 31 degrees C; the clearance rates had the same tendency but the differences were not significant (p>.05). In the second experiment filtration increased according to the amount of food available, but there were no significant differences (p>.05) between 7.5 and 11 mgxl(-1) and from 22.4 to 29 mgxl(-1). The trend was similar for clearance, and in this case significant differences were found (p<.05) between 7.5, 22.4 and 29 mgxl(-1). Filtration at 31 degrees C was close to 80% at the optimum temperature of 25 degrees C, which indicates that A. grandis is a good candidate for tropical aquaculture. Clearance increased with high concentrations of suspended solids, but the production of biodeposits could be a source of environmental concern. Therefore, the possibility of using this species for bioremediation of aquaculture effluents should be studied with larger specimens and at higher seston concentrations.

Polysaccharides from Astragalus membranaceus promote phagocytosis and superoxide anion (O2-) production by coelomocytes from sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus in vitro

The potential immunostimulatory effects of Astralagus membranaceus polysaccharides (APS) on sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus (Selenka), were investigated in vitro. Phagocytosis and superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) production by phagocytic amoebocytes (PA) from A. japonicus coelomic fluid were measured during incubation at 18 degrees C, 22 degrees C, or 25 degrees C with APS at 0, 10, 20, or 40 microg mL(-1) (n=3). Phagocytic activity against yeast cells was quantified by direct visualization, and O(2)(-) production by nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction assay. Compared with controls, including APS at 20 microg mL(-1) significantly increased (P<0.05) the percentage of phagocytic capacity (PC) and phagocytic index (PI) at 18 degrees C and 22 degrees C, but no significant enhancement was observed at 25 degrees C. In contrast, the coelmocytes of A. japonicus can have an obvious generation of O(2)(-) after the stimulation. The concentration of 20 microg mL(-1) APS resulted in a significant increase in nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) positive cells (P<0.05) at different temperature and even 10 microg mL(-1) APS could increase O(2)(-) generation significantly at 18 degrees C and 22 degrees C. Both phagocytosing and O(2)(-) production increased with the increase of APS concentration from 0 to 20 microg mL(-1) at different temperature, and when APS at 40 microg mL(-1), they were decreased. It suggested that immunocytes activity in A. japonicus decreased with the temperature increasing from 18 degrees C to 25 degrees C, and APS could be an effective immunostimulant to enhance phagocytic activity and O(2)(-) production.     

Physiological energetics of the ascidian Styela clava in relation to body size and temperature

The ascidian Styela clava is widely distributed in northern China and is thought to be important in the functioning of estuarine systems. This ascidian may experience highly variable physiological conditions, and its physiological responses to these are of interest considering its ecological role. This study presents data on the physiological parameters in relation to body size and temperature (12-28 degrees C) of S. clava. Respiration, excretion, feces, ingestion and absorption energy were positive related to size and its mass exponents (b-values) varied from 0.2930 to 0.7488. Respiration energy increased with increasing, but critical values were found at 20 degrees C for energy of ingestion and absorption, while 24 degrees C for energy in feces and excretion. At the range of 16-24 degrees C, the scope for growth, gross and net growth efficiencies of ascidians increased with increasing temperature. The energy budget equations of different sized ascidians were obtained at different temperatures. Excretion energy shared a minimal fraction in ingestion energy (1.30-2.47%), the ratios of feces energy and respiration energy to ingestion energy were 46.53-64.27% and 10.26-80.75%, respectively. The physiological data obtained in the present study indicated that S. clava could adjust its energy budget according to the environment and its physiological conditions to meet their nutritional and energetic demands. In the range of experimental temperature (12-28 degrees C), 16-20 degrees C was suitable for the rearing of S. clava to achieve optimum development, while deficient metabolic adjustment induced a negative scope for growth of S. clava at 28 degrees C.

Effects of three biological control approaches and their combination on the restoration of eutrophicated waterbodies

Choosing appropriate approaches is a key to successfully using biological control measures to accelerate the recovery of eutrophic waterbodies. In this study, we used three biomanipulation approaches—including introducing filter-feeding bivalves, stocking planktivorous fish, replanting submerged macrophytes—as well as an approach that combined all three of these methods in order to investigate their effects on water quality and plankton communities within simulation experiment systems. The experimental results showed that only stocking filter-feeding bivalves or fish could not significantly control the total algal biomass and water nutrient concentrations compared to those of the controls. The cladoceran biomasses were reduced under the treatments of stocking filter-feeding bivalves or fish. However, replanting macrophytes and a combined biological restoration approach could significantly reduce the algal biomass and the nutrient content, and both of these methods increased cladoceran biomass. The results of factor analysis of ten environmental parameters suggested that a combined biological restoration treatment was the most effective at controlling the algal biomass and reducing the nutrient content. In conclusion, combination of biological restoration measures was the best treatment out of the three treatments that were tested, and we suggest that more whole-lake scale experiments are needed. Additionally, designing a combined approach should not be a simple superposition of individual measures, but the measures should be complementary to each other.     

A Novel Filtering Mutualism between a Sponge Host and Its Endosymbiotic Bivalves

Sponges, porous filter-feeding organisms consisting of vast canal systems, provide unique substrates for diverse symbiotic organisms. The Spongia (Spongia) sp. massive sponge is obligately inhabited by the host-specific endosymbiotic bivalve Vulsella vulsella, which benefits from this symbiosis by receiving protection from predators. However, whether the host sponge gains any benefit from this association is unclear. Considering that the bivalves exhale filtered water into the sponge body rather than the ambient environment, the sponge is hypothesized to utilize water exhaled by the bivalves to circulate water around its body more efficiently. We tested this hypothesis by observing the sponge aquiferous structure and comparing the pumping rates of sponges and bivalves. Observations of water currents and the sponge aquiferous structure revealed that the sponge had a unique canal system enabling it to inhale water exhaled from bivalves, indicating that the host sponge adapted morphologically to receive water from the bivalves. In addition, the volume of water circulating in the sponge body was dramatically increased by the water exhaled from bivalves. Therefore, this sponge-bivalve association can be regarded as a novel mutualism in which two filter-feeding symbionts promote mutual filtering rates. This symbiotic association should be called a “filtering mutualism”.     

Effect of the ascidian Styela clava on the growth of small holothurians of the species Apostichopus japonicus

We studied the effect of the common ascidian Styela clava on the growth of small holothurians of the species Apostichopus japonicus (Selenka, 1867). In a traditional aquaculture system, the oxygen consumption rates, ammonia excretion rates, and ingestion rates of small A. japonicus were reduced significantly, which suggested that this group was stressed by the presence of large A. japonicus, and that this stress grew stronger with time. Oxygen consumption rates, ammonia excretion rates, and ingestion rates of small A. japonicus in an integrated aquaculture (IA) system with S. clava, microalgae, and A. japonicus were higher than those observed in the traditional culture system. Metabolic and digestive enzymes were more active in small A. japonicus in the IA system than in those in the traditional aquaculture system. These results suggest that the IA model did not affect the growth of large A. japonicas, but produced a marked positive impact on the growth of small individuals.
