Lake Waikaremoana, the North Island's deepest lake (248 m), lies in a natural forested catchment, but the lake itself has been modified for hydro‐electric power generation and by the introduction of trout, smelt, and adventive aquatic plants. The lake is a warm monomictic water body of low conductivity (82 μS cm^‐1) and a high seasonal water column stability. The waters are oligotrophic, with epilimnetic dissolved reactive phosphorus concentrations typically < 1 mg m^‐3. The concentration of NO₃‐N is seasonally variable but generally high in winter and spring with maximum epilimnetic values approaching 70 mg m ³. This contrasts with other central North Island lakes. Horizontal variability in surface chlorophyll a is low as are the absolute values (< 1–2 mg m^‐3). A notable feature is the formation of a deep chlorophyll maximum within the metalim‐nion comprised largely of Sphaewcystis schweteri as opposed to diatoms and flagellates which normally dominate the epilimnion. Vascular macro‐phytes (maximum biomass 659 g m² dry weight) extended to 9 m and characeans (maximum biomass 447 g m²dry weight) to 16 m. Total phyto‐plankton primary production was calculated as 4524 tCy^‐1 and macrophyte production as 578 t C y^‐1. The proportion of macrophyte to phy‐toplankton production (0.14) is higher than in the other deep lakes of the central North Island.  相似文献   

Within-reach spatial variability of snails and molluscivory by brown trout     

Joseph R Holomuzki 《新西兰海洋与淡水研究杂志》2013,47(3):189-197

Linking habitat distributions of prey to the probability of predation is important to understanding consumptive effects of predators on prey populations. This study reports how within-reach spatial variability of two snails, the hydrobiid Potamopyrgus antipodarum and the physid Physella acuta, was linked to habitat-based predation risk by young brown trout (Salmo trutta) of different age classes. Potamopyrgus is endemic to New Zealand streams and lakes, where it commonly co-exists with the invader P. acuta, but both snails are worldwide invaders to many freshwater systems. Examination of egested snails revealed Potamopyrgus and Physella were consumed in similar numbers within age classes. However, 10-month-old trout consumed, on average, fewer snails than 20-month-old trout, and 8-month-old trout ate essentially no snails, suggesting snails were a more important prey item for larger age-1 fish than smaller age-0 fish. No Physella were egested alive by any trout age class. However, 38% and 16% of the Potamopyrgus consumed were egested alive by 10- and 20-month-old trout, respectively, with some passing live after ~70 h in digestive tracts. Physella and the spiny-shell form of Potamopyrgus were significantly denser on macrophytes than on stony sediments in midchannel, and these habitat distributions affected their odds of consumption. Risk of consumption by trout was ~10 times greater for Physella than Potamopyrgus on stones, but their risk was similar in protective macrophytes. Odds of consumption were similar for spiny and smooth shell forms of Potamopyrgus on stones, suggesting spines do not provide protection from large predators like trout. My results suggest that brown trout can potentially exert stronger population regulatory effects on Physella than on Potamopyrgus and that these effects are partly mediated by macrophyte cover.  相似文献

在一定的水动力条件下,不同水生植物对水流结构改变的程度及对底泥再悬浮的影响由于其形态结构的差异有所不同.在玻璃水槽中铺设太湖底泥并种植天然沉水植物(水蕨)和挺水植物(菖蒲),通过水槽实验,用三维声学多普勒流速仪ADV对植物段紊流特性进行测量研究,分析含水生植物明渠水流的水力特性及底泥再悬浮规律.结果表明:含沉水植物和挺水植物明渠水流的垂向流速分布各自遵循不同的规律;其紊动强度和雷诺应力具有明显的各向异性特性;在沉水植物冠层交界处及挺水植物的茎杆和枝叶分叉处,紊流强度及雷诺应力均出现最大值;在一定条件下沉水植物和挺水植物均能抑制底泥再悬浮,但当雷诺数达到一定数值时,水生植物的存在反而加剧了底泥的再悬浮,与挺水植物相比,沉水植物对底泥再悬浮的抑制效果要更好.  相似文献   

螺类牧食损害对沉水植物群落结构的调节     

李宽意  刘正文  李传红  刘桂民  杨宏伟 《海洋与湖沼》2007,38(6):576-580

提要在受控实验条件下,采用实验生态学的方法,研究了螺类(椭圆萝卜螺)牧食损害对人工构建的沉水植物群落结构的影响。结果表明,螺类牧食损害降低了沉水植物的相对生长率及人工构建的群落生物量,且植物的生长率及群落的生物量与螺密度间有显著的负相关关系。牧食损害使沉水植物群落结构发生了显著变化,随着牧食强度的加大,群落中马来眼子菜与苦草的综合优势比迅速下降,而轮叶黑藻与伊乐藻则稳步上升。作者对调节沉水植物群落结构的影响因素进行了探讨,认为植物种类的生长特性使伊乐藻与轮叶黑藻在与苦草及马来眼子菜的竞争中占优势,椭圆萝卜螺的牧食损害则加速了这种优势地位的取得。  相似文献   

菹草(Potamogeton crispus)叶面CaCO₃-P沉淀物产生的关键影响因子分析

沉水植物光合作用形成的微环境有利于水体中钙和磷形成CaCO₃-P共沉淀,但在不同水环境因子下水体中钙和磷形成CaCO₃-P共沉淀的能力不同。本研究以菹草(Potamogeton crispus)为研究对象,研究不同钙浓度(0、20、35、50、65 mg/L)、碱度(0、100、200、300、400 mg/L CaCO₃)、磷浓度(0、0.1、0.2、0.3、0.4 mg/L)和温度(11、14、17、20℃)对菹草削减水体磷的能力及对CaCO₃-P共沉淀产生的差异,并通过分析无植物对照组培养液的饱和指数变化趋势,揭示植物介导下CaCO₃-P的发生规律,为湖泊生态修复中沉水植物的选择提供理论依据。结果表明:①在菹草培养组中,总磷(TP)和溶解性磷酸盐(SRP)浓度显著下降,并且不同处理组之间存在显著差异。随着钙浓度的增加,各处理组的TP和SRP浓度均呈减小趋势,而添加钙浓度导致减幅进一步提高。相比之下,在无菹草对照组中,TP和SRP浓度没有显著变化。这表明菹草的引入促进了水中磷的去除效率。②各处理组CaCO₃-P共沉淀量随碱度的增加而增加,碱度为400 mg/L CaCO₃时,产生最大CaCO₃-P共沉淀量,说明菹草在碱性水环境中更有利于产生CaCO₃-P共沉淀。共沉淀在中等磷水平(0.2 mg/L)产生量最高,每株菹草每天平均产生23.12 mg共沉淀量。实验验证了自然水体磷浓度对菹草叶面CaCO₃-P共沉淀量的产生差异较小,共沉淀在中等温度水平(17℃)含量最高,每株菹草每天平均产生16.61 mg共沉淀量,说明菹草在适宜温度下产生共沉淀的差异不大。以上结果表明,碱度相较于磷浓度及温度对菹草的CaCO₃-P共沉淀量影响更大。③在水环境因子相同的情况下,无菹草对照组碳酸钙饱和指数(方解石和霰石饱和指数)均大于0,说明有结晶趋势,但在实验期间并未产生沉淀,而添加菹草的处理组产生了不等量的CaCO₃-P共沉淀,表明沉水植物也可通过共沉淀的方式削减水体磷负荷,为湖泊富营养化的治理提供理论支撑。  相似文献
