Metridia pacifica in Dabob Bay, Washington: The diatom effect and the discrepancy between high abundance and low egg production rates   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Claudia Halsband-Lenk   《Progress in Oceanography》2005,67(3-4):422

Information on life cycle strategies and reproductive parameters of Metridia pacifica is scarce, despite its importance in the zooplankton of the subarctic Pacific. In many regions it occurs in high abundance, but reproductive rates, when reported, are usually low. This discrepancy was studied in Dabob Bay, Washington, USA, in the context of an investigation of the effect of diatom blooms on the reproductive success of copepod grazers.In situ egg production rates of M. pacifica were measured in spring and mid-summer with standard methods (multi-wells) and a new incubation chamber (spawning towers) that separates the spawning female from its eggs and allows the eggs to develop undisturbed. Many females did not produce eggs, possibly due to a high fraction of immature individuals. Egg production rates were variable, but clutch sizes were higher in spawning towers, and estimates of female egg cannibalism revealed that females consume many eggs shortly after their release. Thus, a separation of females and eggs is mandatory for accurate measurements of M. pacifica egg production rates. The maximum clutch sizes recorded in our study were comparable to measurements for other calanoids. However, unviable eggs were a large fraction of those spawned, independent of incubation method, especially in late winter and early spring. In order to assess whether the diatom effect may be responsible for low viability of embryos and nauplii, we also measured in situ grazing. Adult females were omnivorous, but they ingested some diatoms that rank among the strongest anti-mitotic toxin producers known so far. Although M. pacifica’s vertical migration behavior suggests opportunistic feeding on abundant food during their short stay in the phytoplankton-rich surface, they often ignored the food items that contributed most to microplankton carbon concentrations. Thus, their feeding strategy remains ambiguous. Due to severe reproductive failure early in the season, recruitment was impaired in spring, while the population increased, reaching high abundance in mid-summer when reproductive output was low. While advection and interannual variability in bloom conditions might compensate for the losses described here, the paradox of high Metridia abundance versus low reproductive success still requires further investigation, and methodological constraints need to be ruled out in future studies.  相似文献

基于权重与混合模型的遥感图像分类方法研究     

何海清  李发斌  李何超  王勇 《国土资源遥感》2008,(2):18-21

提出了一种基于权重与混合像元模型的遥感图像分类方法。该方法在现有光谱混合模型的基础上,根据实际应用需要确定地类权重,通过地类丰度与权重因子加权平均确定像元的隶属类型,从而实现遥感图像分类。以SPOT-5土地覆盖遥感分类为例,对权重与混合像元模型结合的图像分类方法进行了验证,结果表明,该方法提高了遥感图像分类精度,在一定条件下更具实际意义。  相似文献   

东风山前寒武纪含铁建造金矿床中的稀土元素          下载免费PDF全文

魏菊英  曾强 《地质科学》1997,32(4):506-514

东风山含铁建造金矿床中稀土元素含量普遍较低。东风山群是含矿层,其不同层位岩石和矿物的稀土含量有所差别。大理岩和含铁层中铁闪石的稀土含量最低,甚至低于稀土地壳丰度;上部角岩、下部角岩和石榴子石中稀土含量近似其他壳丰度;而板岩和花岗岩中稀土含量远高于其他壳丰度。稀土元素分布的特点反映了东风山金矿床形成于一个半封闭和较还原的海盆地,金矿化是在弱碱性条件下产生。黄铁矿中出现独居石类矿物,这可能与陆壳重熔改造形成花岗岩时产生的局部富轻稀土热液沿黄铁矿裂隙渗入有关。  相似文献

2006年7月至2007年10月对山东近岸的威海湾、荣成湾、桑沟湾、靖海湾、五垒岛湾及乳山湾(37°28.7'-36°46.3'N,121°28.8'-122°39.6'E)的26个站位按季节进行了4个航次的现场调查,分析了6个海湾不同季节的微型藻类及营养盐情况,并进一步对几种主要微藻类群与各种营养盐之间的相关性进行了研究.结果表明,各海湾微型浮游植物的平均丰度在456.3×104-2332.2×104cell/L之间;夏季和春季的主要优势种为硅藻:冬季主要优势种为黄藻;秋季主要优势种为隐藻.不同微藻类群与不同营养盐的相关性差异显著,其中,与NH4-N的相关性依次为:绿藻＞黄藻＞隐藻＞甲藻＞硅藻＞金藻,相关系数依次分别为0.965、0.929、0.761、0.748、0.671和-0.304;与NO3-N的相关系数的绝对值为金藻＞隐藻＞甲藻＞硅藻＞黄藻＞绿藻;与PO4-P的相关系数的绝对值则为甲藻＞金藻＞绿藻＞黄藻＞隐藻＞硅藻.  相似文献

本调查于2016年和2017年的5月、8月,对日照近岸海域浒苔暴发区进行了4个航次的浮游动物断面调查。4个航次中,2016年和2017年5月航次获得的种类数要明显低于同年8月航次,而平均丰度和湿重生物量均高于同年8月航次。造成这种情况的原因可能是调查海域8月浒苔暴发结束,浒苔的消亡过程会大量消耗营养盐,导致水体中营养盐含量下降,进而影响到其他浮游植物和浮游动物的生长。应用PRIMER软件中的单变量分析得到群落种数(S)、丰富度(d)、香农-威纳指数(Shannon-Weaner index)(H′)和均匀度(J),从多样性指数分析可以看出,5月航次的生物多样性均劣于同年8月航次。不同年度相同季节航次中出现的优势种极其相似,而不同季节航次出现的优势种则大不相同。  相似文献

2000—2002年6月在黄海西南侧、山东半岛南部鳀鱼产卵场专项调查中,由底至表垂直拖网获得浮游生物中网(网孔径160μm)浮游动物样品,作者就该产卵场内四种主要小型桡足类(体长<1mm)双刺纺锤水蚤、小拟哲水蚤、拟长腹剑水蚤和近缘大眼剑水蚤的数量分布进行分析。在连续三年的6月,测区内均以小拟哲水蚤和拟长腹剑水蚤数量最多。四种小型桡足类的数量空间分布虽有一定的种间、年间差异,但总体上来说,四种小型桡足类的密集中心大多分布于山东半岛沿岸或近苏北浅滩沿岸水域。相关性分析表明,双刺纺锤水蚤和近缘大眼剑水蚤与底层水温呈正相关,与盐度呈负相关,拟长腹剑水蚤与底层水温呈负相关,与盐度呈正相关。小拟哲水蚤与温度的相关性较大。双刺纺锤水蚤和小拟哲水蚤与鳀鱼仔、稚鱼的数量分布有着较为显著的正相关。  相似文献

根据2006年9月—2007年8月胶州湾浅水Ⅰ型浮游生物网的调查资料,分析了胶州湾毛颚类的种类组成、数量分布、摄食、生物量、生产力情况。结果表明,本次调查共出现毛颚类3种:强壮箭虫(Sagitta crassa)、拿卡箭虫(Sagitta nagae)和百陶箭虫(Sagitta bedoti)。其中强壮箭虫全年出现,在数量上占有绝对优势,年平均密度达到45.3ind/m3;拿卡箭虫和百陶箭虫在秋、冬、春季出现,年平均密度分别为0.17ind/m3和0.35ind/m3。通过推算得到胶州湾毛颚类年平均生物量为107.92mg/m2,年平均生产力为1.47mgC/(m2·d),占浮游动物总生产力的11.6%。毛颚类对浮游动物生物量和生产力的摄食压力在冬季达到全年最大值,分别为5.71%和83.47%,在春季、夏季、秋季毛颚类对浮游动物生物量的摄食压力分别为0.67%、0.08%、6.48%,对生产力的摄食压力分别为27.00%、2.48%和48.88%。由此可见,在冬季毛颚类的摄食对浮游动物群落结构等可能会产生重要影响。  相似文献   

Seasonal cycles and long-term trends of plankton in shelf and oceanic habitats of the Norwegian Sea in relation to environmental variables     

Jrg Aßmus  Webjrn Melle  Dag Tjstheim  Martin Edwards 《Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography》2009,56(21-22):1895

The plankton abundance data of the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) route from Bergen or Rotterdam to Weather Station Mike (6444^′N, 2E) from 1949 to 1981 were analysed for long-term trends and seasonal production cycles, and were related to environmental data. The data were explored using the canonical correlation analysis and nonparametric techniques like the Nadaraya–Watson regression. While large copepods such as Calanus spp. and Metridia lucens did not show any temporal trends, a sharp decrease in the abundances of smaller copepods and phytoplankton was observed after 1960. The temporal trends were not related to the NAO, but did show a correlation with the wind direction. Seasonal abundance curves showed that production of both phytoplankton and zooplankton taxa started earlier in coastal water compared to Atlantic water. From the 1950s to the 1970s most taxa showed a delay in the start of the seasonal production cycles, indicating a reduction in the length of the productive cycle. This may to some extent explain the reduced abundance of smaller copepods, phytoplankton and other species during the 1960s and 1970s.  相似文献
