根据1998～2003年上海地区雨水中NO₃^--N、NH₄⁺-N浓度,采用单因子评估模式评价了降雨对湿地水环境的影响,并结合降雨量数据,研究了大气湿沉降氮通量.结果表明,上海地区雨水中氮浓度较高,6年雨水平均硝态氮浓度为259 mg·L^-1,铵态氮浓度为2.16 mg·L^-1,总无机氮（TIN）浓度474 mg·L^-1,远大于水体富营养水中氮浓度阀值（0.2 mg·L^-1）,依据降水中的氮浓度,降水已达到地表水V类、劣V类水平.6年湿沉降氮通量平均值为58.1 kg·hm^-2·yr^-1,其中NO₃^--N占54%.大气氮沉降对湿地水体富营养化影响值得关注.     

日本沼虾幼虾对碱度和pH的适应性

采用急性毒性实验法,研究日本沼虾（Macrobrachium nipponense）对碱度和DH的适应能力,探讨内陆盐碱水域养殖的可能性。结果表明,pH对幼虾的24、48、72、96h半数致死值分别为10．13、9．72、9．67和9．51,安全与适应范围分别为5．26～8．67、5．10～8．84。碱度对幼虾的24h半数有效浓度为17．96mmol／L,95％置信限14．60—22．53mmol／L;24、48、96h半数致死浓度分别为48．95、45．15和44．96mmol／L,95％置信限分别为45．72～50．60、39．46～51．67及34．34～55．38mmol／L,安全碱度11．52mmol／L。结果表明,在pH≤9．0、碱度≤20．0mmol／L的内陆盐碱水域,可以养殖日本沼虾。     

盐胁迫对杂交酸模叶片光合活性的抑制作用

以杂交酸模(Rumex K-1)为试材,研究了不同浓度(100～300 mmol·L^-1) KCl和NaCl胁迫对杂交酸模幼苗叶片光合活性及渗透调节的影响.结果表明：200 mmol·L^-1浓度的NaCl对杂交酸模幼苗叶片光合活性的抑制作用大于KCl;当浓度增大到300 mmol·L^-1时,KCl对杂交酸模叶片光合活性的抑制作用显著大于NaCl.300 mmol·L^-1 KCl和NaCl处理植株的叶片水势分别为-0.93 MPa和-1.05 MPa,渗透势分别为-1.43 MPa和-1.10 MPa,说明KCl对杂交酸模植株过多的伤害不是渗透胁迫造成的;经过300 mmol·L^-1KCl胁迫后,杂交酸模叶片中Na⁺含量急剧降到对照植株的11.4％,而补充25 mmol·L^-1 NaCl可以明显缓解KCl对杂交酸模光合活性的伤害,说明Na⁺的亏缺和高浓度K⁺的积聚可能是导致高浓度KCl对杂交酸模光合活性的伤害比NaCl更严重的主要原因.     

化学诱抗剂诱导黄瓜抗盐性及其机理

在200 mmol·L^-1 NaCl胁迫条件下,采用根际注射结合叶面喷洒的诱导方法探讨了不同浓度水杨酸、油菜素内酯、壳聚糖、亚精胺4种化学诱抗剂对黄瓜幼苗生长及其生理生化特性的影响.结果表明,4种化学诱抗剂在适宜浓度范围内,显著地降低了黄瓜幼苗的盐害指数和死苗率,以油菜素内酯0.01 mg·L^-1降低幅度最大,比对照分别降低了63.0%和75.0%;显著地促进了超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化物酶、过氧化氢酶等保护酶活性,从而显著降低了丙二醛含量和电解质渗出率,干重含水量显著升高;促进了幼苗的形态建成,植株茎粗、展开叶数及壮苗指数显著提高,壮苗指数以壳聚糖150 mg·L^-1最大,比对照提高了30.9%.说明施用适宜浓度的化学诱抗剂可以诱导黄瓜幼苗的抗盐能力,减缓盐害症状.综合作用效果依次为：油菜素内酯0.005～0.05 mg·L^-1、亚精胺150～200 mg·L^-1、壳聚糖100～200 mg·L^-1和水杨酸50～150 mg·L^-1.     

盐胁迫对长春花幼苗生长和生物碱含量的影响

以NaCl浓度分别为0、50、100、150、200和250 mmol·L^-1的1/2 Hoagland营养液处理长春花幼苗,7 d后测定其鲜质量、干质量、丙二醛(MDA)和叶绿素含量、色氨酸脱羧酶（TDC）和过氧化物酶（POD）活性等生理指标及文多灵、长春质碱、长春新碱和长春碱等生物碱含量.结果表明：NaCl显著地降低长春花幼苗的鲜质量和干质量,提高MDA含量;叶绿素含量在低盐浓度(50 mmol·L^-1)下与对照相比差异不显著,在高于50 mmol·L^-1时随NaCl浓度的增加而逐渐降低;在NaCl处理下,POD活性与对照相比显著上升;TDC活性在50 mmol·L^-1 NaCl处理下活性最高,而后随盐浓度的增加逐渐降低;文多灵、长春质碱、长春新碱和长春碱含量都是在50 mmol·L^-1NaCl处理下最高,分别为4.61、3.56、1.19和2.95 mg·g^-1,并显著高于对照及其他处理.盐胁迫虽然在一定程度上抑制了长春花幼苗生长,但促进了其生物碱的代谢,提高了生物碱含量;50 mmol·L^-1NaCl处理对长春花吲哚生物碱代谢的促进作用最大.     

盐度对黄鳝摄食节律和排粪时间的影响

室内研究了不同盐度(0、2、4、6、8、10和12 g·L^-1)对经过摄食驯化的黄鳝摄食节律和排粪时间的影响.结果表明：盐度对黄鳝的摄食节律没有显著影响（P>0.05）,但不同时段的摄食比例存在极显著差异(P<0.01),每昼夜只有1个摄食高峰期.黄鳝排粪分批次完成,不同盐度下其批次不同.在盐度为0（对照）、2、8、10和12 g·L^-1条件下黄鳝均为3批排粪,在盐度4和6 g·L^-1下排粪批次分别为4批和5批.不同盐度下黄鳝的同批排粪时间均存在极显著差异(P<0.01),对照组的前3批排粪时间极显著高于其它组(P<0.01),即对照组前3批排粪相对推迟4～25 h.研究结果将为盐碱、滩涂水域人工养殖黄鳝的摄食管理和水质调控提供理论依据.     

Pb、Ni胁迫对大羽藓抗氧化酶系统的影响

研究了Pb、Ni单一及复合胁迫下大羽藓细胞活性氧自由基的累积与清除、光合系统和膜系统的受损情况及其抗氧化酶系统的变化.结果表明：在较低胁迫浓度(Pb<0.1 mmol·L^-1,Ni<0.01 mmol·L^-1)下,大羽藓叶绿素含量具有应激效应,在较高胁迫浓度(Pb>0.1 mmol·L^-1,Ni>0.01 mmol·L^-1)下则具有抑制效应;随Pb-Ni复合胁迫浓度的增加,苔藓活性氧自由基和丙二醛的累积量逐渐增大;大羽藓超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化氢酶活性降低,过氧化物酶活性增加,过氧化物酶在清除Pb、Ni胁迫产生的活性氧自由基的过程中起着重要作用.大羽藓丙二醛含量和过氧化氢酶活性对Pb、Ni胁迫具有浓度依赖性,可以将其作为监测该类重金属污染的生物标志物.

食物密度对镜湖萼花臂尾轮虫不同克隆生活史特征的影响

对镜湖萼花臂尾轮虫（Brachionus calyciflorus）夏季种群内4个生化遗传特征上互不相同的克隆（克隆A、B、C和D）在4个斜生栅藻（Scenedesmus obliquus）密度（1.0×10⁶、2.0×10⁶、4.0×10⁶和8.0×10⁶ cells·L^-1）下的生活史特征进行了研究.结果表明：食物密度对各克隆轮虫的存活率和繁殖率均有不同的影响.4克隆中克隆C的世代时间最短,克隆B的世代时间、生命期望和平均寿命最长,克隆A的后代混交雌体百分率最高;净生殖率和个体适合度在4克隆间无显著差异.镜湖萼花臂尾轮虫在2.0×10⁶ cells·L^-1的食物密度下净生殖率最低;在1.0×10⁶cells·L^-1的食物密度下平均寿命和生命期望最短,而后代混交雌体百分率却最高;在8.0×10⁶cells·L^-1的食物密度下种群内禀增长率最高,平均寿命和生命期望最长;在高食物密度（4.0、8.0×10⁶cells·L^-1）下个体适合度较大.克隆C的个体适合度在密度为3.9×10⁶cells·L^-1时最小,而克隆D的个体适合度在食物密度为6.34×10⁶cells·L^-1时最大.食物密度的变化可能是7月份之后镜湖萼花臂尾轮虫从水环境中消失的原因,而4克隆轮虫个体适合度的相似性则可能是镜湖轮虫共存于同一水体的原因之一.     

The immune response of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and its susceptibility to Vibrio alginolyticus under nitrite stress

The white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei were challenged with tryptic soy broth (TSB)-grown Vibrio alginolyticus at a dose of 1 x 10(6) colony-forming units (cfu) shrimp(-1), and then placed in water containing concentrations of nitrite-N at 0 (control), 1.12, 5.15, 11.06 and 21.40 mg l(-1). Mortality of shrimp in 5.15, 11.06 and 21.40 mg l(-1) was significantly higher than those in the control solution after 48-168 h. L. vannamei that had been exposed to control, 0.98, 4.94, 9.87 and 19.99 mg l(-1) nitrite-N for 96 h were examined for THC (total haemocyte count), phenoloxidase activity, and respiratory burst (release of superoxide anion). The THC and phenoloxidase activity decreased when the shrimp were exposed to 4.94, 9.87 and 19.99 mg l(-1) nitrite-N, whereas, the respiratory burst increased significantly at 9.87 and 19.99 mg l(-1) nitrite-N after 96 h. It is therefore suggested that nitrite in water caused a depression in the immune ability of L. vannamei and an increased susceptibility to V. alginolyticus infection, together with an increase of superoxide anion production, possibly to cytotoxic levels for the host.

The immune stimulatory effect of sodium alginate on the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and its resistance against Vibrio alginolyticus

The total haemocyte count (THC), differential haemocyte count (DHC), phenoloxidase activity, respiratory burst (release of superoxide anion), superoxide dismutase activity, phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to the pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus were measured when the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (9.4-11.3 g) were injected individually with sodium alginate at 10, 20 or 50 microg g(-1). No significant differences in THC, DHC and superoxide dismutase activity were observed among the shrimp injected with saline and those injected with sodium alginate at 10, 20 or 50 microg g(-1). However, L. vannamei injected with sodium alginate at 20 microg g(-1)increased its phenoloxidase activity and respiratory burst after 2 days and one day, respectively. L. vannamei injected with sodium alginate at 50 microg g(-1)maintained a higher phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to V. alginolyticus after 4 days. In another experiment, L. vannamei which had been injected with sodium alginate, were challenged with V. alginolyticus at 2x10(5)colony-forming units (CFU) shrimp(-1)and then placed in seawater of 34 per thousand. The survival of shrimp that received sodium alginate at either dose was significantly higher than that of control shrimp at the termination of the experiment (6 days after the challenge). It is therefore concluded that L. vannamei received sodium alginate at 10 microg g(-1)or more and increased its immune ability and resistance from V. alginolyticus infection.     

Dietary administration of sodium alginate enhances the immune ability of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and its resistance against Vibrio alginolyticus

Haemocyte count, phenoloxidase activity, respiratory burst (release of superoxide anion), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity, phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to the pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus were measured in white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles (12.3 +/- 1.2 g) which had been fed diets containing sodium alginate at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 g kg(-1) after five months. L. vannamei fed a diet containing 2.0 g kg(-1) sodium alginate had increased phenoloxidase activity, respiratory burst and SOD activity, but decreased GPX activity significantly. L. vannamei fed a diet containing 2.0 g kg(-1) sodium alginate had increased phagocytic activity and the shrimp fed a diet containing sodium alginate at 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 g kg(-1) had increased clearance efficiency to V. alginolyticus. In another experiment, L. vannamei, which had been fed control diet, or sodium alginate-containing diets after 5 months, were challenged with V. alginolyticus at 2 x 10(6) colony-forming units (CFU) shrimp(-1) and then placed in seawater of 15 per thousand. The survival of shrimp fed a diet containing 2.0 g kg(-1) after one day, and the survival of shrimp fed diets containing sodium alginate at 0.5 and 1.0 g kg(-1) after 2-4 days increased significantly, as compared to that of shrimp fed control diet. It is therefore concluded that administration of sodium alginate in the diet at 2.0 g kg(-1) or less could enhance the immune ability of L. vannamei and increase its resistance to V. alginolyticus infection.     

Effect of saponin immersion on enhancement of the immune response of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and its resistance against Vibrio alginolyticus

The haemocyte count, phenoloxidase (PO) activity, specific alpha(2)-macroglobulin (alpha2-M) activity, respiratory burst, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, phagocytic activity, and clearance efficiency against Vibrio alginolyticus were examined when the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (10.42+/-2.0g) were immersed in seawater (34 per thousand) containing different concentrations of saponin (0, 0.5, 1 and 2mgL(-1)) for 24, 48 and 72h. Hyaline cells (HC), the total haemocyte count (THC), specific alpha2-M activity, respiratory burst, SOD activity, and GPx activity directly increased with the saponin concentration, whereas PO activity was inversely related to the saponin concentration. White shrimp L. vannamei that were immersed in saponin at 1 and 2mgL(-1) showed increased phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to V. alginolyticus over 48-72h. In another experiment, shrimp immersed in seawater containing different concentrations of saponin after 72h were challenged with V. alginolyticus at 3.2x10(5) colony-forming units (cfu)shrimp(-1), and then placed in seawater. The survival rate of shrimp immersed in seawater containing saponin at either dose was significantly higher than that of control shrimp after 12h, as well as at the termination of the experiment (5days after the challenge). It was therefore concluded that L. vannamei immersed in water containing saponin at 2mgL(-1) or less exhibited an immunomodulatory effect, as well as protection against V. alginolyticus infection.     

The protective effect of chitin and chitosan against Vibrio alginolyticus in white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

White shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, which had been injected with chitin at 4, 6 and 8 microg g(-1) or chitosan at 2, 4 and 6 microg g(-1), were challenged with pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus at 2 x 10(6) colony-forming units (cfu) shrimp(-1) and then placed in seawater of 34 per thousand. The survival of shrimp that received chitin or chitosan at either dose was significantly higher than that of control shrimp after 1 day, and at the termination of the experiment (6 days after the challenge). In another experiment, the total haemocyte count (THC), phenoloxidase activity, respiratory burst, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and phagocytic activity to V. alginolyticus were measured when L. vannamei (10.4 +/- 0.7 g) were injected individually with chitin at 4 and 6 microg g(-1) or chitosan at 2 and 4 microg g(-1). L. vannamei received chitin at 6 microg g(-1) or chitosan at 2 and 4 microg g(-1) increased significantly its THC and respiratory burst after 2 days. L. vannamei received chitin at 6 microg g(-1) or chitosan at 2 and 4 microg g(-1) still maintained significantly higher phenoloxidase activity after 6 days. L. vannamei received chitin at 4 and 6 microg g(-1) or chitosan at 2 and 4 microg g(-1) increased its phagocytic activity against V. alginolyticus after 1 day, respectively. It is therefore concluded that L. vannamei that received chitin at 6 microg g(-1) or chitosan at 4 microg g(-1) or less increased its immune ability and resistance to V. alginolyticus infection.     

Administration of hot-water extract of brown seaweed Sargassum duplicatum via immersion and injection enhances the immune resistance of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

The total haemocyte count (THC), phenoloxidase activity, and respiratory burst were examined when the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (10.42+/-1.39 g) were immersed in seawater (34 per thousand) containing hot-water extract of brown alga Sargassum duplicatum at 100, 300 and 500 mg l(-1), or injected with hot-water extract of S. duplicatum at 2, 6, 10 and 20 microg g(-1). These parameters increased significantly when the shrimp were immersed in seawater containing hot-water extract at 300 and 500 mg l(-1) after 1 h, or when the shrimp were injected with hot-water extract at 10 and 20 microg g(-1) after 1 day. L. vannamei that were injected with hot-water extract at 6, 10 and 20 microg g(-1) had increased phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to V. alginolyticus after 1-6 days. In another experiment, L. vannamei which had been immersed in seawater containing hot-water extract at 100, 300 and 500 mg l(-1), or injected with hot-water extract at 2, 6, 10 or 20 microg g(-1) were challenged with V. alginolyticus at 1 x 10(6), or 1.4 x 10(6) colony-forming units (cfu) shrimp(-1), and then placed in seawater. The survival of shrimp that received hot-water extract at either dose was significantly higher than that of control shrimp after 2 days, as well as at the termination of the experiment (6 days after the challenge). It is therefore concluded that L. vannamei that were immersed in hot-water extract of S. duplicatum at 300 mg l(-1), or the shrimp that were injected with hot-water extract at 10 microg g(-1) or less had increased immune ability as well as resistance to V. alginolyticus infection.     

The immunostimulatory effect of hot-water extract of Gracilaria tenuistipitata on the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and its resistance against Vibrio alginolyticus

The total haemocyte count (THC), phenoloxidase activity, respiratory burst, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to the pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus were examined in the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (10.3+/-1.5 g) injected individually with hot-water extract of Gracilaria tenuistipitata at 4 or 6 microg g-1. L. vannamei receiving hot-water extract of G. tenuistipitata at either dose increased significantly its THC, phenoloxidase activity, and respiratory burst after 2 days. L. vannamei received hot-water extract of G. tenuistipitata at 6 microg g-1 increased its phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to V. alginolyticus after 1 day. In another experiment, L. vannamei which had been injected with hot-water extract of G. tenuistipitata were challenged with V. alginolyticus at 2x10(6) colony-forming units (cfu) shrimp-1 and then placed in seawater of 34 per thousand. The survival of shrimp that received hot-water extract of G. tenuistipitata at 6 microg g-1 was significantly higher than that of shrimp that received saline and the control shrimp after 3 days, and at the termination of the experiment (6 days after the challenge). It is therefore concluded that L. vannamei receiving the hot-water extract of G. tenuistipitata at 6 microg g-1 or less increased its immune ability and resistance to V. alginolyticus infection.     

Effect of copper sulfate on the immune response and susceptibility to Vibrio alginolyticus in the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

White shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone) held in 35 per thousand seawater were challenged with Vibrio alginolyticus at a dose of 3 x 10(5) colony-forming units (cfu) shrimp(-1), and then placed in water containing concentrations of Cu2+ at 0 (control), 1, 5, 10 and 20 mg l(-1). Mortality of shrimp in 5, 10 and 20 mg l(-1) Cu2+ was significantly higher than those in 1 mg l(-1) Cu2+ and the control solution after 24-96 h. In another experiment, L. vannamei which had been exposed to control, 1, 5, 10 and 20 mg l(-1) Cu2+ for 24, 48 and 96 h were examined for THC (total haemocyte count), phenoloxidase activity, respiratory burst (release of superoxide anion), phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to V. alginolyticus. Copper concentrations at 1 mg l(-1) or greater for 24h resulted in decreased THC, phenoloxidase activity, phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency, whereas copper concentration at 20 mg l(-1) caused significant increase in respiratory burst of L. vannamei. In conclusion, concentration of Cu2+ at 1 mg l(-1) or greater increased the susceptibility of L. vannamei to V. alginolyticus infection by a depression in immune ability. The release of superoxide anion by L. vannamei exposed to 20 mg l(-1) Cu2+ was considered to be cytotoxic to the host.
