青岛近海及其临近海域冬季微微型浮游植物的分布   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
微微型浮游植物(0.2~2.0 μm) 是海水中最小的自养浮游生物, 在世界各海域广泛分布, 并在海洋有机物质循环中起着非常重要的作用.利用荧光显微技术对青岛近海及其邻近海域冬季微微型浮游植物丰度进行了调查,研究了微微型浮游植物的空间变化和昼夜变化的特征, 并分析了微微型浮游植物丰度与环境因子的相关性. 结果显示, 冬季该海域以富含藻红素(Phycoerythrin-rich, PE)的聚球藻(Synechococcus, Syn)细胞占优势,微微型真核藻类(Picoeukaryote, Euk)次之,而富含藻蓝素(Phycocyanin-rich, PC)的聚球藻细胞数量很低, 未发现原绿球藻(Prochlorococcus, Pro)的存在.Syn 的变化范围为8.97×103~1.95×105 cells·ml-1, 平均4.67×104 cells·ml-1; Euk的变化范围为1.95×102~1.01×104 cells·ml-1, 平均2.39×103 cells·ml-1. Syn丰度在胶南以南海域出现高值区域, 在即墨海域和崂山东南海域出现低值区域. Euk丰度在日照海域出现高值区域; 崂山海域为低值区域; 各水层Syn和Euk丰度均无明显差异(P﹥0.05). 对胶州湾中部连续站4层水体的24 h昼夜连续变化进行观测发现, Syn、Euk丰度都有明显昼夜波动.相关性分析表明: Syn与温度、 电导率呈正相关, 与溶氧浓度呈显著负相关; Euk与盐度和溶氧浓度呈显著负相关. 微微型浮游植物对总浮游植物生物量的贡献约为20%.  相似文献

从营养扰动实验看原绿球藻在近海分布的制约因素   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
地球上细胞最小、丰度最大的放氧光合自养原核生物原绿球藻 (Prochlorococcus)发现于热带大洋 ,并被证实可在某些近海甚至近岸水域大量分布。但除温度之外 ,原绿球藻自然分布的控制因子尚不明了。从近海和大洋生态条件的主要差别考虑 ,在南海进行了主要营养盐———氮、磷和微量元素———铁、钴扰动的现场培养实验 ,并应用流式细胞技术监测原绿球藻及聚球藻 (Synechococcus)、超微型真核浮游植物 (pico_eukaryotes)的细胞丰度和单细胞色素含量的响应以及细菌的影响。结果表明 ,磷和钴的添加有利于原绿球藻 ,而氮和铁的添加更有利于聚球藻和超微型真核浮游植物。同时 ,由环境条件引起的生物响应又间接地导致超微型生物之间的相互作用。因而 ,原绿球藻在近海的分布 ,可能受到营养盐组成等环境因子以及生物之间的相互作用等多方面的限制和影响  相似文献

Ecological and physiological features of the planktonic copepodCalanus sinicus in the southern Yellow Sea in summer were studiedto reveal its life history strategy. From the coastal shallowwaters to the central part of the southern Yellow Sea, a shiftof the stage composition occurs from being dominated by theegg-nauplius stage to being dominated by the fifth copepodite(CV) stage. Most CVs reside in the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass(YSCWM), where both temperature and food abundance are low.CVs in the YSCWM have longer body lengths, heavier body weightsand higher carbon contents than those outside the YSCWM. Onboardincubations show that the development of CVs in the YSCWM issuspended. Energy conservation, development suspension and lackof diel vertical migration (DVM) behavior suggest a diapausestatus for the CVs in the YSCWM, although vertical distributionpatterns indicate the CV individuals are not fully synchronousin physiology and development. This adaptive oversummering strategywould help C. sinicus to live through the warm and food-limitedsummer in the central part of the southern Yellow Sea; bothlow temperature and low food supply are necessary for CV tomaintain the resting state in the YSCWM. Calanus sinicus exhibitsdifferent life history strategies in different regions of thesouthern Yellow Sea in summer.  相似文献

The effects of temperature and food availability on the lifehistory strategy of the planktonic copepod Calanus sinicus inthe southern Yellow Sea in summer were studied in this paper.The fifth copepodite stage (CV) dominates the population inthe central part of the southern Yellow Sea, where the YellowSea Cold Water Mass (YSCWM) occurs below the thermocline. Incubationexperiments were conducted on CV C. sinicus caught from theYSCWM to examine the effects of temperature and food availability.Temperature at the surface (27°C) is lethal to CVs regardlessof food availability. At the temperature in the middle of thethermocline (18°C), survival time of the specimens dependson food availability, being  相似文献

On-board flow cytometric determinations of picoplankton abundance (i.e. Synechococcus spp., Prochlorococcus spp., picoeukaryotes and also heterotrophic bacteria) were obtained in the East China Sea in fall of 2000 and 2003. The average abundances of Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus, picoeukaryotes and heterotrophic bacteria were 10(5), 10(5), 10(4) and 10(6) cells ml(-1), respectively. Synechococcus, picoeukaryotes and heterotrophic bacteria were abundant at all the stations and presented higher concentration in the inner shelf where influences from the Changjiang effluent plumes and the coastal upwelling were evident, while Prochlorococcus was absent from the near-shore stations and became the dominant picophytoplankton population in offshore waters, where its abundance was comparable to that for heterotrophic bacteria. All picoplankton groups showed a reduction in cell number with depth, and a positive correlation with water temperature were observed, which reflected the importance of light and temperature on picoplankton growth. A negative relationship with salinity was found for heterotrophic bacteria along two sections across the East China Sea Shelf, and distribution of picoplankton was dominated by different water masses. The fixation could lead to loss in Prochlorococcus cell numbers within one month, and all the picoplankton numbers decreased dramatically after three months.  相似文献

Unicellular cyanobacteria of the genus Synechococcus are a major component of the picophytoplankton and make a substantial contribution to primary productivity in the oceans. Here we provide evidence that supports the hypothesis that virus infection can play an important role in determining the success of different Synechococcus genotypes and hence of seasonal succession. In a study of the oligotrophic Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea, we show a succession of Synechococcus genotypes over an annual cycle. There were large changes in the genetic diversity of Synechococcus, as determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of a 403- bp rpoC1 gene fragment, which was reduced to one dominant genotype in July. The abundance of co-occurring cyanophage capable of infecting marine Synechococcus was determined by plaque assays and their genetic diversity was determined by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of a 118-bp g20 gene fragment. The results indicate that both abundance and genetic diversity of cyanophage covaried with that of Synechococcus. Multivariate statistical analyses show a significant relationship between cyanophage assemblage structure and that of Synechococcus. These observations are consistent with cyanophage infection being a major controlling factor in picophytoplankton succession.  相似文献

Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to examine the abundances anddistributions of different picophytoplankton groups (i.e. Synechococcus,Prochlorococcus and picoeukaryotes), nanophytoplankton, heterotrophicbacteria and viruses were examined in the Changjiang Estuary,China and adjacent coastal waters during autumn 2004. Watertemperature and light availability were found to be criticalfactors for picophytoplankton growth. Positive correlationswere found between picophytoplankton, heterotrophic bacteriaand viruses, and a seaward-increasing trend in the V-I (thegroup yielding high green fluorescence according to FCM) populationwithin viruses was detected. The importance of nanophytoplanktonis progressively usurped by picophytoplankton with increasingdistance offshore. Picoeukaryotes are the most successful groupamong picophytoplankton in near-shore eutrophic waters, whereasProchlorococcus surpasses other groups within the pico- andnanophytoplankton community in offshore oligotrophic regionsof the East China Sea Shelf.  相似文献

We compared the characteristics of ingestion of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus by the marine heterotrophic nanoflagellate Pseudobodo sp. and by a mixed nanoflagellate culture (around 3 microm in size) obtained from an open sea oligotrophic area. Maximum ingestion rate on Synechococcus (2.7 Syn flagellate(-1) h(-1)) was reached at concentrations of 5 x 10(5) Syn mL(-1) and decreased between 6 x 10(5) and 1.5 x 10(6) Syn mL(-1). In order to validate laboratory data, one set of data on Synechococcus grazing was obtained during a field study in the oligotrophic northeastern Mediterranean Sea. Ingestion rates by heterotrophic nanoflagellates were related to Synechococcus abundance in the water, and the feeding rate showed a clear diel rhythm with consumption being highest during the night, declining during the day hours, and being lowest at dusk. Ingestion rates on Prochlorococcus increased linearly for the whole range of prey density used (i.e., from 1 x 10(3) to 3 x 10(6) Proc mL(-1)), with maximum ingestion of 6.7 Proc flagellate(-1) h(-1). However, for prey concentrations in the range of 10(3)-10(5), which are usually encountered in aquatic systems, ingestion rates were significantly less than on Synechococcus. In our experiments, both Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus proved to be poor food items for support of nanoflagellate growth.  相似文献

The spatial distribution and annual cycle of abundance for thelate-stage copepodites of the calanoid copepod Calanus finmarchicusare described for the shelf and slope waters of the Middle AtlanticBight (MAB), a subregion of the US Northeast large marine ecosystem.Samples were collected with bongo nets from 1977 to 2001 onbroad-scale surveys of the region and from a continuous planktonrecorder (CPR) towed at 10-m depth along a route that traversedthe area. The copepod’s abundance in shelf waters increasedrapidly in early spring and reached maximum levels in May–June.It declined slowly thereafter, until a minor secondary pulseoccurred in late autumn, which was followed by the annual winterlow. Slope water abundance of C. finmarchicus peaked in Apriland was virtually absent there at 10-m depth from July throughthe following February. The two samplers, both portrayed similarhigh interannual abundance variability with no long-term trendevident for the 25-year period. Cluster analysis pinpointedthree shelf areas with similar abundance patterns, one of whichwas a region of high density located in the northeastern offshorewaters. Evidence is presented that indicates the source of thishigh abundance is likely from the populations that overwinterin deep water basins of the Gulf of Maine (GOM). The copepod’sinterannual abundance variability was found to be negativelycorrelated with water temperature and unrelated to fluctuationsof the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO) index.  相似文献

The spatial distribution of planktonic ciliated protozoa, physicalvariables and potential food items were measured at northernand southern sites off the west coast of the South Island, NewZealand, to examine which variables were important in structuringthe ciliate community. Ciliates contributed 30% of total zooplanktonbiomass. Ciliate abundance was greatest within 55 km of thecoast on the northern transect, but on the southern transectthe greatest abundance was close inshore and at the stationsoffshore of the continental shelf. The ciliate community wasdominated by small oligotrichs and abundance (114–1139l–1 was comparable with other oligotrophic marine environments.The depth of the pycnocline had a major influence on the verticaldistribution of ciliates, which were closely correlated withprofiles of phytoplankton biomass and picophytoplankton abundance,but not primary production. The results of this study suggestthat physical factors were more important than biotic factorsin influencing the distribution of protozoan ciliates. The deepmixed layer prevented the formation of deep chlorophyll a orciliate maxima. Few studies of microzooplankton have incorporatedpicophytoplankton distribution, but the importance of smallciliates and picophytoplankton suggests that these groups mayplay a pivotal role in mediating the transfer of organic matterto higher trophic levels in this marine coastal ecosystem.  相似文献

We tested the sensitivity of coastal picophytoplankton exposed to natural sunlight in short-term experiments. Cell abundance and cell-specific chlorophyll fluorescence were significantly reduced in Prochlorococcus spp. but not in Synechococcus, whereas picoeukaryotes had an intermediate response. These results are the first direct evidence of a differential sensitivity to sunlight of these ubiquitous marine members of unicellular phytoplankton.  相似文献

The physical and biological processes affecting the spatialdistribution of the giant jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai wereinvestigated in the northern East China Sea and southern YellowSea in July 2006, when large abundances of this jellyfish occurredin Korean waters. Well-characterized water masses were detectedduring the study period. These were the Tsushima Current water,Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water and Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW).The spatial distribution of Chl a concentrations estimated byocean colour imagery showed that the CDW flows to the northeast.The CDW was accompanied by high abundances of small and medium-sizedzooplankton (0.2–0.5 mm and 0.5–1.0 mm, respectively)and N. nomurai, in comparison with the other water masses. Large(1.0–2.0 mm) and macro-sized zooplankton (2.0–5.0mm) did not show a relationship with the CDW. The distributionof N. nomurai was very restricted and intimately related withthe CDW. In fact, large abundances only occurred in the westernboundary region of the CDW. The results were supported by Pearson’scorrelation analysis, which showed a positive relationship betweenthe CDW, small- and medium-sized zooplankton and the giant jellyfish.We conclude that the CDW had entrained N. nomurai into the watersoff the southwest coast of the Korean peninsula and it was thentransported into the Yellow and East/Japan seas.  相似文献

Growth and grazing mortality rates of Synechococcus, Prochlorococcusand eukaryotic picophytoplankton were determined using dilutionexperiments in a bay of the Uwa Sea, Japan. Seasonal changesin the vertical distribution of each picophytoplankter wereinterpreted based on previous physico-chemical measurementsand potential ecophysiological differences. Significant relationshipsbetween dilution and picophytoplankton growth rate were foundonly during the stratified period, suggesting that food linkagebetween the picophytoplankton and grazers was active duringthe stratified period. We found an almost 1:1 balance betweengrowth and grazing mortality rates of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcusin the presence of both nanoflagellates and ciliates, suggestingthat the abundance of the cyanobacteria is in a quasi-steady-statesystem with grazing losses compensated by growth. The relationshipbetween growth and grazing mortality rate of eukaryotic picophytoplanktonwas unclear. We discuss the dynamics of each picophytoplankterabundance with special reference to the characteristics of themicrobial food web in the bay, together with two physical eventsresponsible for matter cycling within the bay.  相似文献

Phages of the marine cyanobacterial picophytoplankton   总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17  
Cyanobacteria of the genera Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus dominate the prokaryotic component of the picophytoplankton in the oceans. It is still less than 10 years since the discovery of phages that infect marine Synechococcus and the beginning of the characterisation of these phages and assessment of their ecological impact. Estimations of the contribution of phages to Synechococcus mortality are highly variable, but there is clear evidence that phages exert a significant selection pressure on Synechococcus community structure. In turn, there are strong selection pressures on the phage community, in terms of both abundance and composition. This review focuses on the factors affecting the diversity of cyanophages in the marine environment, cyanophage interactions with their hosts, and the selective pressures in the marine environment that affect cyanophage evolutionary biology.  相似文献

Benthic fungal diversities in Bohai Sea and North Yellow Sea were investigated using pyrosequencing of 18S rDNA. Overall, Chytridiomycota dominated, followed by Basidiomycota, Ascomycota and Cryptomycota, in terms of alpha diversities and relative abundance. The beta diversity of benthic fungi showed a significant seasonality but no regional differences, accounted for by contrasting relative abundances of Chytridiomycota and Basidiomycota. Significantly seasonal changes in Chytridiomycota and Basidiomycota assemblage structure were also observed, but not for Ascomycota and Cryptomycota. Environmental filtering was more important than water depth and geographic distance in shaping the distribution of benthic fungi in the neritic oceans. The overall fungal beta diversity co-varied with concentration of chlorophyll a, pH, and salinity, distance from land, and water depth. The assemblage structure of benthic Chytridiomycota, Basidiomycota, Ascomycota and Cryptomycota co-varied with different sets of environmental parameters, suggesting their niche differentiations in the coastal sediments.  相似文献

Synechococcus is a cosmopolitan marine cyanobacterial genus, and is often the most abundant picocyanobacterial genus in coastal waters. Little is known about Synechococcus seasonal dynamics in coastal zones highly impacted by upwelling. This was investigated by collecting seasonal samples from an upwelling-impacted Monterey Bay (MB) monitoring station M0, in parallel with measurements of oceanographic conditions during 2006-2008. Synechococcus abundances were determined using quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays and flow cytometry (FCM). A new qPCR assay was designed to target dominant Synechococcus in MB using the rbcL gene, while previously designed assays targeted distinct phylotypes (called narB subgroups) with the narB gene. The rbcL qPCR assay successfully tracked abundant Synechococcus in MB, accounting for on average 89% (± 57%) of FCM-based counts. Annual spring upwelling caused decreases in Synechococcus and narB subgroup abundances. Differences in narB subgroup abundance maxima and abundance patterns support the view that subgroups differ in their ecologies, including subgroup D_C1, which seems to specifically thrive in coastal waters. Correlations between narB subgroup abundances and measured environmental variables were similar among the subgroups. Therefore, non-measured environmental factors (e.g. metals, mortality) likely had different influences on subgroups, which led to their distinct abundance patterns at M0.  相似文献

Ammonia aomoriensis(Asano,1951)和Ammonia beccarii(Linnaeus,1758)是两个形态学易混淆,但被广泛使用并具有重要环境指示意义的有孔虫。通过对渤海、黄海和东海陆架区60个站位表层沉积物的水平分布调查,并连续17个月对潮间带分低潮区和高潮区进行了季节调查,对二者的形态分类、生态分布和环境关系进行比较研究。结果表明A.aomoriensis和A.beccarii在潮间带的丰度都有季节性变化,体现冬高夏低的特点,前者一般在高潮区较多,后者在低潮区较多。二者的丰度从潮间带到陆架区随着水深的增加呈阶梯式锐减:平均含量分别达22%和39%;在水深<20m的陆架区平均含量分别降至15%和6%;在水深>20m的陆架区平均含量分别再次降至0.6%和1.4%。统计分析表明二者对盐度和水深的响应相似,但对温度的反应存在差异:在潮间带环境,二者的丰度都与盐度显著正相关;在浅海陆架环境,二者的丰度都与水深呈显著负相关;无论在潮间带还是陆架海区,A.beccarii的丰度都与海水温度呈显著负相关,但A.aomoriensis与温度相关性不显著。本研究结果显示A.aomoriensis和A.beccarii对滨岸浅海都具有优越的指示作用,在古环境分析中,首先可根据二者的含量进行环境推测(潮间带或者陆架浅海),再利用不同环境下本文所建立的线性方程对海水温、盐、深进行大体的估算。  相似文献

Benthic epifauna was sampled in six areas from the German Bight towards the Norwegian Sea using a 2-m standard beam trawl. Nine replicates were taken in each area and year from 1999 to 2006. This data set (60–67 replicates per area) was used to describe the spatial variability in local species composition and to assess the effect of increasing sampling effort on species richness and community structure. Our results confirmed the importance of the 50-m depth contour for the separation of benthic fauna in the North Sea. Low species richness, sparse sessile fauna and high abundances of scavenging species such as Asterias rubens, Liocarcinus holsatus, Astropecten irregularis and Ophiura albida were characteristic of the low-water area south of the 50-m contour. Differences in community structure were less conspicuous in deeper waters north of the 50-m contour, but distribution patterns and abundances of single species such as Echinus elegans, Hyalinoecia tubicola, Ophiothrix fragilis, Scaphander lignarius as well as several hermit crabs resulted in well-defined epifaunal communities. One replicate caught 17–28% of the species found in 60–67 samples and was sufficient to separate the community in the German Bight from those in the central and northern North Sea by using multidimensional scaling. Nine replicates sampled a proportion of 53–60% and provided additional information on the spatial variability of community structure in the central and northern North Sea. Our study indicates that appropriate replication enhances the quality of the data and can partly overcome the constraints of sampling with a 2-m beam trawl. This might be helpful for future monitoring programmes.  相似文献
