Sediment toxicity assessments using caged organisms present advantages over using laboratory and native community studies. The use of caged Arenicola marina in sediment toxicity assessments was evaluated. Lugworms were exposed in situ to sediments from coastal and port areas in Spain for seven days, and the activities of the biotransformation enzymes ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase, dibenzylfluorescein dealkylase and glutathione S-transferase, the activities of the antioxidant enzymes glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase and lipid peroxidation were then analyzed as biomarkers. Biomarker results and sediment physicochemical data were integrated. Cádiz Bay (SW Spain) sediments presented metal contamination that was not linked to a biochemical response. In LPGC Port (SW Spain), Pb contamination exhibited a moderate toxic potential, while PAHs, and presumably pharmaceuticals, provoked biochemical responses that efficiently prevented lipid peroxidation. In Santander Bay (N Spain), exposure to PAHs and, presumably, pharmaceuticals induced biomarker responses, but lipid peroxidation occurred nevertheless. These results indicated that caged A. marina were effective for the assessment of sediment quality and that the selected biomarkers were sufficiently sensitive to identify chemical exposure and toxicity.  相似文献

Fluid-driven Hydrovolcanic Activity along Fracture Zones and near Seamounts: Evidence from Deep-sea Fe-rich Spherules,Central Indian Ocean Basin     

Ankeeta AMONKAR  Sridhar D. IYER  Elapavalooru V.S.S.K. BABU  Natarajan SHAILAJHA  Areef SARDAR  S. MANJU 《《地质学报》英文版》2021,95(5):1591-1603

An insight on occurrence of Fe-rich spherules from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) provides an understanding of their distribution at a water depth of >5,000 m. In the present study, Fe-rich spherules are identified to occur in two different sediment types (i.e., siliceous and pelagic) and tectonic settings (i.e. near seamounts and fracture zones). These are single spheres or aggregates, of different sizes (63 to 390 μm) and show textural variability (smooth/quenched, brickwork, corkscrew, interlocking and dendritic). A comparative study based on physical morphology and chemical composition suggests a common mechanism of formation. The association of spherules with fracture zones (FZ) and seamounts signifies that morpho-tectonic features play an important role in fluid-driven hydrovolcanism. Based on the evidence and geologic conditions existing in the basin, we conclude that molten fuel-coolant interaction (MFCI) coupled with submarine hydrothermal exhalations could be an ideal mechanism for the formation of spherules and Fe-particles. The accretion of the spherules on the surface sediments could be a result of recent volcanic phenomena, while those occurring at different depths (280–355, and 460–475 cm-bsf) within the sediment core indicate two different episodes. The study provides a global implication in understanding fluid-driven magmatism in a deep-sea intraplate environment.  相似文献   

基于康达效应的海底集矿装置流场与集矿特性试验研究

海底集矿作为深海矿产资源开发的核心技术之一,直接影响到矿石采集效率和海底沉积物受扰动程度。基于康达效应的水力集矿装置因具有结构简单、可靠性高及对海床扰动小等优点,受到广泛关注。针对基于康达效应的水力集矿头模型进行3种类型的试验研究：1)利用粒子图像测速(PIV)技术测得集矿流场速度分布,试验发现流体质点在靠近凸曲面壁处流速和沿法线速度梯度较大,而远离凸曲面壁处则相反;2)通过高速摄像和图像处理获得球形矿粒运动轨迹和速度,试验发现了不同射流流速下5种典型矿粒运动形态;3)分析了射流流量对矿粒采集率的影响,试验得到了颗粒采集率关于射流流量的变化曲线,并根据变化特征划分为增长区、缓变区和跃升区。研究可为新式集矿装置的优化设计与性能分析提供参考。  相似文献   

云南景洪上泥盆统南光组沉积环境新议     

俞赛赢  冯凡斌  刘桂春  聂小妹  陈光艳  张志斌  冯庆来 《地质通报》2013,32(10):1596-1600

云南景洪东南地区出露一套泥盆系,前人将其以粗粒碎屑岩为特征的部分命名为怕当组,根据腕足类化石鉴定其地质时代为中泥盆世;以碎屑岩、凝灰岩为特征的部分被命名为南光组,根据植物化石斜方薄皮木（Lepotophloeum rhombicum）划归晚泥盆世。对其沉积环境尚存在陆相和海陆交互相、浅海陆架相、半深海-深海相沉积环境的不同认识。本研究发现,粗粒碎屑岩层序中也发现有晚泥盆世标准植物化石斜方薄皮木（Lepotophloeum rhombicum）,并且粗粒碎屑岩层序位于剖面上部,南光组位于剖面下部,说明两者的地质时代均为晚泥盆世。故建议废除怕当组,将两者合并为上泥盆统南光组。南光组具有典型的鲍马序列特征,含有放射虫等海洋环境生物化石,属于深海浊流沉积层序。  相似文献
