Abstract. Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) have the potential to alter hormone pathways that regulate reproductive processes in wildlife and fisheries. In this research the unexplored hypothesis that Mediterranean top predator species (such as large pelagic fish and marine mammals) are potentially at risk due to EDCs is investigated. In the Mediterranean environment, top predators accumulate high concentrations of polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAHs) and toxic metals, incurring high toxicological risk. Here we illustrate the need to develop sensitive biomarkers for evaluation of toxicological risk in top marine predators (Xiphias gladius, Thunnus thynnus thynnus) and non-lethal techniques, such as non-destructive biomarkers, for the hazard assessment of threatened species exposed to EDCs, such as marine mammals ( Stenella coeruleoalba, Tursiops truncatus, Delphinus delphis and Balaenoptera physalus ).  相似文献

海洋固氮蓝藻Calothrix sp.与Lyngbya sp.固氮生理的研究     

张燕英  董俊德  张偲  王友绍  王汉奎  黄良民 《热带海洋学报》2006,25(4):46-50

研究盐度、昼夜变化、温度及阿特拉津(光合系统Ⅱ抑制剂)对2种海洋固氮蓝藻Calothrixsp.strain(代号为MCT1)和Lyngbyasp.strain(代号为MCT6)固氮活性的影响。结果表明,MCT1在盐度10—48范围内具有相对较高的固氮活性,在盐度为30时固氮活性最高,达到0.687 2μmolC2H2.(g.h)-1;而MCT6随盐度改变固氮活性变化幅度较大,盐度为24时具有最高固氮活性,其活性为0.876 8μmolC2H2.(g.h)-1。MCT1和MCT6固氮活性的昼夜变化明显不同,具有异型胞的海洋固氮蓝藻MCT1白天的固氮活性明显高于夜晚;而无异型胞的MCT6最高固氮活性发生在晚上,白天固氮活性较低。一定浓度的阿特拉津通过抑制光合作用阻断能量和还原剂的提供,使藻体在较短时间内丧失固氮能力。加入阿特拉津后2种藻体的固氮活性与对照组相比有明显的变化,实验第3天开始MCT1的所有经阿特拉津处理的样品固氮活性丧失;MCT6经(50—1 000)×10-6阿特拉津处理的样品从实验第3天开始固氮活性完全消失。  相似文献   

红树植物白骨壤叶片衰老过程中叶肉细胞Ca2+水平的变化     

杨盛昌  谢潮添  陈文列 《台湾海峡》2003,22(2):145-149,T001

用焦锑酸钙沉淀的电镜细胞化学方法，研究了白骨壤叶片衰老过程中叶肉细胞Ca^2 水平的变化．结果表明，在白骨壤幼叶和成熟叶叶肉细胞中，焦锑酸钙沉淀颗粒大量出现在液池和细胞间隙中，细胞壁中也可见少量沉淀，而细胞基质中则看不到焦锑酸钙沉淀．在衰老叶中，细胞基质和细胞膜上焦锑酸钙沉淀增加，而液泡和细胞间隙中的锑酸钙沉淀则显著减少，并且叶绿体外膜部分破损，结构破坏，核膜与液泡膜内部结构模糊，叶绿素含量、净光合速率、气扎手率和蒸腾速率显著下降．Ca^2 的区域性分布的变化与植物叶片衰老密切相关。  相似文献

Sublittoral meiofauna with particular reference to nematodes in the southern Yellow Sea, China   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6

Densities of major meiofaunal taxa were investigated at 34 sampling stations during six cruises by R/V Beidou to the southern Yellow Sea, China from 2000 to 2004, and the community structure of free-living marine nematodes was studied during one of the cruises in 2003. Meiofauna abundance ranged from 487.4 to 1655.3 individuals per 10 cm². Nematodes and harpacticoid copepods were the two most dominant groups, contributing 73.8–92.8% and 3.5–18.7%, respectively, to the total meiofauna abundance. One-way ANOVA showed no significant annual fluctuation of meiofauna and nematode abundances from 2000 to 2004 in the southern Yellow Sea. However, two-way ANOVA based on six stations sampled in 4 years (2001–2004) showed that there were significant differences among the six stations and the 4 sampling years for meiofauna, nematode and copepod abundance. Correlation analysis demonstrated that meiofauna abundance was mainly linked to chloroplastic pigments. Other environmental factors could not be ruled out, however. A total of 232 free-living marine nematode species, belonging to 149 genera, 35 families and 4 orders, were identified. The dominant species in the sampling area were the following: Dorylaimopsis rabalaisi, Microlaimus sp.1, Prochromadorella sp., Promonohystera sp., Cobbia sp.1, Daptonema sp.1, Leptolaimus sp.1, Halalaimus sp.2, Aegialoalaimus sp., Chromadorita sp., Parodontophora marina, Parasphaerolaimus paradoxus, Quadricoma sp.1, Campylaimus sp.1, Halalaimus gracilis, Paramesacanthion sp.1, Paramonohystera sp.1, and Metalinhomoeus longiseta. CLUSTER and SIMPROF analyses revealed three main types of nematode community (or station groups) in the sampling area, including I: coastal community, II: transitory community between coastal and YSCWM (Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass), and III: YSCWM community. Each community was indicated by a number of dominant nematode species. Bio-Env correlation analysis between the nematode community and environmental variables showed that water depth, sediment water content, organic matter, chlorophyll a (Chl-a) and phaeophorbide a (Pha-a) were the most important factors to determine the community structure.  相似文献
