The size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass and primary production were investigated in four contrasting areas of Hong Kong
waters in 2006. Phytoplankton biomass and production varied seasonally in response to the influence of the Pearl River discharge.
In the dry season, the phytoplankton biomass and production were low (<42 mg chl m−2 and <1.8 g C m−2 day−1) in all four areas, due to low temperatures and dilution and reduced light availability due to strong vertical mixing. In
contrast, in the wet season, in the river-impacted western areas, the phytoplankton biomass and production increased greater
than five-fold compared to the dry season, especially in summer. In summer, algal biomass was 15-fold higher than in winter,
and the mean integrated primary productivity (IPP) was 9 g C m−2 day−1 in southern waters due to strong stratification, high temperatures, light availability, and nutrient input from the Pearl
River estuary. However, in the highly flushed western waters, chl a and IPP were lower (<30 mg m−2 and 4 g C m−2 day−1, respectively) due to dilution. The maximal algal biomass and primary production occurred in southern waters with strong
stratification and less flushing. Spring blooms (>10 μg chl a L−1) rarely occurred despite the high chl-specific photosynthetic rate (mostly >10 μg C μg chl a
−1 day−1) as the accumulation of algal biomass was restricted by active physical processes (e.g., strong vertical mixing and freshwater
dilution). Phytoplankton biomass and production were mostly dominated by the >5-μm size fraction all year except in eastern
waters during spring and mostly composed of fast-growing chain-forming diatoms. In the stratified southern waters in summer,
the largest algal blooms occurred in part due to high nutrient inputs from the Pearl River estuary. 相似文献

Seven cruises during June 2005–November 2006 were conducted to study the variations in apparent oxygen utilization in Hong
Kong coastal waters, and PO4 addition experiments were conducted in the summer to study bacterial responses to PO4 additions. Apparent oxygen utilization (AOU) was significantly correlated with PO4 concentrations. AOU was more responsive to PO4 when DIN/PO4 ratio was 50:1 in the summer wet season, and PO4 was more responsive to AOU in the dry season when N/P ratio was close to or less than 16:1, which suggested less regenerated
PO4 during oxygen consumption in the former case than in the latter case. The PO4 addition experiment showed that 0.1 μM PO4 addition increased bacterial respiration (BR) by 20 ± 4%, but a 0.2-μM PO4 addition saturated BR even when DIN/PO4 was 80:1, suggesting that there was a limit for PO4 stimulation of bacterial respiration. This finding of a 0.2-μM PO4 saturation concentration for stimulating bacterial respiration is significant, and it also indicates that the release of
PO4 during regeneration might be reduced by the same concentration. 相似文献

Phytoplankton uptake rates of ammonium (NH4
+), nitrate (NO3
−), and urea were measured at various depths (light levels) in Hong Kong waters during the summer of 2008 using 15N tracer techniques in order to determine which form of nitrogen (N) supported algal growth. Four regions were sampled, two
differentially impacted by Pearl River discharge, one impacted by Hong Kong sewage discharge, and a site beyond these influences.
Spatial differences in nutrient concentrations, ratios, and phytoplankton biomass were large. Dissolved nutrient ratios suggested
phosphorus (P) limitation throughout the region, largely driven by high N loading from the Pearl River in summer. NH4
+ and urea made up generally ≥50% of the total N taken up and the f ratio averaged 0.26. Even at the river-impacted site where concentrations of NO3
− were >20 μM N, NH4
+ comprised >60% of the total N uptake. Inhibition experiments demonstrated that NO3
− uptake rates were reduced by 40% when NH4
+ was >5 μM N. The relationship between the total specific uptake rates of N (sum of all measured substrates, V, per hour) and the chlorophyll a-specific rates (micromolars of N per microgram of Chl a per hour) varied spatially with phytoplankton biomass. Highest uptake rates and biomass were observed in southern waters,
suggesting that P limitation and other factors (i.e., flushing rate) controlled production inshore and that the unincorporated
N (mainly NO3
−) was transported offshore. These results suggest that, at the beginning of summer, inshore algal blooms are fueled primarily
by NH4
+ and urea, rather than NO3
−, from the Pearl River discharge. When NH4
+ and urea are depleted, then NO3
− is taken up and can increase the magnitude of the bloom. 相似文献

In 2001, the Hong Kong government implemented the Harbor Area Treatment Scheme (HATS) under which 70% of the sewage that had been formerly discharged into Victoria Harbor is now collected and sent to Stonecutters Island Sewage Works where it receives chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT), and is then discharged into waters west of the Harbor. The relocation of the sewage discharge will possibly change the nutrient dynamics and phytoplankton biomass in this area. Therefore, there is a need to examine the factors that regulate phytoplankton growth in Hong Kong waters in order to understand future impacts. Based on a historic nutrient data set (1986-2001), a comparison of ambient nutrient ratios with the Redfield ratio (N:P:Si=16:1:16) showed clear spatial variations in the factors that regulate phytoplankton biomass along a west (estuary) to east (coastal/oceanic) transect through Hong Kong waters. Algal biomass was constrained by a combination of low light conditions, a rapid change in salinity, and strong turbulent mixing in western waters throughout the year. Potential stoichiometric Si limitation (up to 94% of the cases in winter) occurred in Victoria Harbor due to the contribution of sewage effluent with high N and P enrichment all year, except for summer when the frequency of stoichiometric Si limitation (48%) was the same as P, owing to the influence of the high Si in the Pearl River discharge. In the eastern waters, potential N limitation and N and P co-limitation occurred in autumn and winter respectively, because of the dominance of coastal/oceanic water with low nutrients and low N:P ratios. In contrast, potential Si limitation occurred in spring and a switch to potential N, P and Si limitation occurred in eastern waters in summer. In southern waters, there was a shift from P limitation (80%) in summer due to the influence of the N-rich Pearl River discharge, to N limitation (68%) in autumn, and to N and P co-limitation in winter due to the dominance of N-poor oceanic water from the oligotrophic South China Sea. Our results show clear temporal and spatial variations in the nutrient stoichiometry which indicates potential regulation of phytoplankton biomass in HK waters due to the combination of the seasonal exchange of the Pearl River discharge and oceanic water, sewage effluent inputs, and strong hydrodynamic mixing from SW monsoon winds in summer and the NE monsoon winds in winter. 相似文献

Seasonal and spatial dynamics of nutrients and phytoplankton biomass in Victoria Harbour and its vicinity before and after sewage abatement 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

This study investigated the seasonal and spatial dynamics of nutrients and phytoplankton biomass at 12 stations in Hong Kong (HK) waters during a three year period from 2004 to 2006 after upgraded sewage treatment and compared these results to observations before sewage treatment. Pearl River estuary (PRE) discharge significantly increased NO(3) and SiO(4) concentrations, particularly in western and southern waters when rainfall and river discharge was maximal in summer. Continuous year round discharge of sewage effluent resulted in high NH(4) and PO(4) in Victoria Harbour (VH) and its vicinity. In winter, spring and fall, the water column at all stations was moderately mixed by winds and tidal currents, and phytoplankton biomass was relatively low compared to summer. In summer, the mean surface phytoplankton chl biomass was generally > 9 microL(-1) in most areas as a result of thermohaline stratification, and high nutrients, light, and water temperature. In summer, the potential limiting nutrient is PO(4) in the most productive southern waters and it seldom decreased to limiting levels ( approximately 0.1 microM), suggesting that phytoplankton growth may be only episodically limiting. The mean bottom dissolved oxygen (DO) remained > 3.5 mg L(-1) at most stations, indicating that the eutrophication impact in HK waters was not as severe as expected for such a eutrophic area. After the implementation of chemically enhanced primary sewage treatment in 2001, water quality in VH improved as indicated by a significant decrease in NH(4) and PO(4) and an increase in bottom DO. In contrast, there were an increase in chl a and NO(3), and a significant decrease in bottom DO in southern waters in summer, suggesting that hypoxic events are most likely to occur in this region if phytoplankton biomass and oxygen consumption keep increasing and exceed the buffering capacity of HK waters maintained by monsoon winds, tidal mixing and zooplankton grazing. Therefore, future studies on the long-term changes in nutrient loading from PRE and HK sewage discharge will be crucial for developing future strategies of sewage management in HK waters. 相似文献

Measurements of uptake rates of inorganic (NO3− and NH4+) and organic (urea, glycine, and glutamic acid) N, and indirect estimates of total N uptake by bacteria, were made in four
contrasting environments in sub-tropical Hong Kong waters in summer of 2008. In addition, the effects of several days of rain
on N uptake rates were studied in eastern waters. Although ambient NO3− was the dominant form of N in Hong Kong waters, the dominant N form taken up by phytoplankton was usually NH4+ and organic N, including urea and amino acids, rather than NO3−. Hence, because of the low NO3− uptake, there was a long turnover time for NO3− (100 days), and most of the NO3− was apparently transported offshore into deeper shelf waters. In eastern waters where NH4+ was undetectable, NO3− uptake rates were positively correlated with phytoplankton cell size. In contrast, potential rates of glutamic acid uptake
were negatively correlated with phytoplankton size. N uptake rates in the smaller size fraction (0.7–2.8 μm) were less affected
by the rain event, and smaller phytoplankton appeared to outcompete larger cells after several days of rain. The surface (PN)-specific
N uptake rates in the >8-μm fraction decreased from 0.02 to 0.0001 h−1, while the smaller fraction only exhibited a one- to threefold decrease after the rainfall. In contrast, bacterial production
and N uptake were not affected by the rain event, and bacteria N uptake accounted for 10–60% of the total N uptake by phytoplankton. 相似文献

Long-Term and Seasonal Changes in Nutrients,Phytoplankton Biomass,and Dissolved Oxygen in Deep Bay,Hong Kong 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Deep Bay is a semienclosed bay that receives sewage from Shenzhen, a fast-growing city in China. NH4 is the main N component of the sewage (>50% of total N) in the inner bay, and a twofold increase in NH4 and PO4 concentrations is attributed to increased sewage loading over the 21-year period (1986–2006). During this time series, the
maximum annual average NH4 and PO4 concentrations exceeded 500 and 39 μM, respectively. The inner bay (Stns DM1 and DM2) has a long residence time and very
high nutrient loads and yet much lower phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll (Chl) <10 μg L−1 except for Jan, July, and Aug) and few severe long-term hypoxic events (dissolved oxygen (DO) generally >2 mg L−1) than expected. Because it is shallow (~2 m), phytoplankton growth is likely limited by light due to mixing and suspended
sediments, as well as by ammonium toxicity, and biomass accumulation is reduced by grazing, which may reduce the occurrence
of hypoxia. Since nutrients were not limiting in the inner bay, the significant long-term increase in Chl a (0.52–0.57 μg L−1 year−1) was attributed to climatic effects in which the significant increase in rainfall (11 mm year−1) decreased salinity, increased stratification, and improved water stability. The outer bay (DM3 to DM5) has a high flushing
rate (0.2 day−1), is deeper (3 to 5 m), and has summer stratification, yet there are few large algal blooms and hypoxic events since dilution
by the Pearl River discharge in summer, and the invasion of coastal water in winter is likely greater than the phytoplankton
growth rate. A significant long-term increase in NO3 (0.45–0.94 μM year−1) occurred in the outer bay, but no increasing trend was observed for SiO4 or PO4, and these long-term trends in NO3, PO4, and SiO4 in the outer bay agreed with those long-term trends in the Pearl River discharge. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) has
approximately doubled from 35–62 to 68–107 μM in the outer bay during the last two decades, and consequently DIN to PO4 molar ratios have also increased over twofold since there was no change in PO4. The rapid increase in salinity and DO and the decrease in nutrients and suspended solids from the inner to the outer bay
suggest that the sewage effluent from the inner bay is rapidly diluted and appears to have a limited effect on the phytoplankton
of the adjacent waters beyond Deep Bay. Therefore, physical processes play a key role in reducing the risk of algal blooms
and hypoxic events in Deep Bay. 相似文献
