ABSTRACT

Previously, studies of coastal eutrophication have usually focused on the nutrients input from adjacent land sectors, such as rivers, submarine-ground discharges, and atmospheric depositions. Here we report two examples of well-managed seasonal eutrophication phenomena in coastal marine environments, where nutrients come predominantly from offshore: one by humans and the other by nature (higher trophic animals). In the Sanggou Bay of North China, the total amount of incoming nutrients from the open Yellow Sea is taken up by seaweeds. Seaweed, in turn, supports bivalves culture activities and absorbs nutrients emitted by finfish. In the Academy Bay of Russian Far East, a relatively high plankton primary production sustains throughout the salmon-returning season when nutrients are released from the massive carcasses of dead fish after return from the ocean to their natal streams to spawn and die. This high plankton productivity, in turn, fuels higher trophic ecosystem constituents, including whale populations of global importance. In the future, dominance of nutrients from marine sources needs to be seriously considered in studies of coastal eutrophication.

ABSTRACT

The biogeochemical behavior of arsenic in the aquatic environment has already captured the attentions of scientists due to its complex forms and toxicity. Four cruises were carried out in April, August, October 2011 and January 2012 in the Sanggou Bay. The concentrations of total dissolved inorganic arsenic (TDIAs, TDIAs = [ As(5+] + [As(3+)]) and arsenite (As(3+)) were measured by Hydride Generation-Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (HG-AFS). The concentrations of TDIAs ranged from 3.4-12.4 nmol x L(-1) in April, 8.9-16.9 nmol x L(-1) in August, 14.7-21.3 nmol x L(-1) in October and 13.8-21.9 nmol x L(-1) in January. The concentrations of arsenite ranged from 0.3-2.1 nmol x L(-1), 0.4-3.8 nmol x L(-1), 1.8-4.0 nmol x L(-1) and 0.3-2.9 nmol x L(-1) during four cruises, respectively. The concentrations of TDIAs in spring and summer were lower than those in autumn and winter, and high values of TDIAs appeared in the bay-mouth and the coastal estuary. The concentrations of arsenite in spring and winter were lower than those in summer and autumn. The maximum As(3+)/TDIAs ratios appeared in summer. The mean value of TDIAs in the Sanggou Bay was (13.9 +/- 4.7) nmol x L(-1), which was lower than the national primary drinking in water Standards from USEPA and met the first grade water quality based on the environmental quality standards for surface water of China. It indicates that there is no obvious anthropogenic pollution. The concentrations of TDIAs in the Sanggou Bay were lower than those in the Ailian Bay and the Lidao Bay in spring and summer due to the different hydrological environments and terrestrial inputs. Riverine input, incursion of Yellow Sea and biological activities were the three main factors impacting the distribution of TDIAs in the Sanggou Bay, and the influence of aquaculture activities was particularly significant. The enrichment of arsenic by aquaculture may lead to potential ecological crisis and food safety problems, and need to be paid more attentions to ensure the sustainable development of aquaculture in the Sanggou Bay.

ABSTRACT

Phosphate adsorption characteristics onto surface sediments from aquaculture area in Sungo bay were studied in laboratory simulating condition, and phosphate adsorption-desorption equilibrium mass concentration was also analyzed. The results showed that the process of phosphate adsorption onto sediments mainly occurred within 0.5 h, and attended to dynamic equilibrium after 6 h. Adsorption kinetics were fitted to modified Elovich model which can be expressed by Q = 85.536 + 35.512 lnt (R2 = 0.9602). Under low initial phosphate concentration condition, the adsorption isotherm curves were fitted to linear equation Q = 265.04c(e) - 7.46 (R2 = 0.965), while under high initial phosphate concentration condition, the adsorption isotherm curves were fitted to Langmuir equation (R2 = 0.989). The native adsorbed phosphorus was 7.46 microg/g and the maximum adsorption capacity was 769.23 microg/g. The phosphate adsorption-desorption equilibrium mass concentration was 0.028 mg/L, which indicated that the sediments played the source role in most time in this area based on the phosphate concentration in water body.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: On basis of field data measured during 4 cruises from August 2004 to May 2005, concentrations of NH4+ -N, NO3- -N, NO2- -N in overlying and interstitial waters of sediments in net-cage culture areas of Tangdao Bay were analyzed. Moreover, diffusive fluxes of dissolved inorganic nitrogen from sediments were estimated by Fick's first law. Results showed that the main form of inorganic nitrogen in overlying and interstitial waters of sediments was NO3- -N, accounting for 73.34% and 61.45% respectively. Concentrations distributions of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and NO3- -N in overlying water varied seasonally, which got their maximum concentration in October 2004 while the NH4+ -N concentration showed a little difference. The seasonal change of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and NO3- -N, NH4+ -N in interstitial water varied similarly and also got their maximum concentration in October 2004. The concentration of NO2- -N in overlying and interstitial waters increased from spring to winter. The average fluxes of NH4+ -N, NO3- -N, NO2- -N were separately 5.46, -5.04, 8.71 micromol/(m2 x d). And NO2- -N was the most diffusive flux component in net-cage culture area of Tangdao Bay.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: Forms and bioavailability of phosphorus in the sediments of eight sampling sites from Sungo Bay were analyzed by means of sequential extraction method (SEDEX). RESULTS: showed that: (1) The main form of total phosphorus (TP) in sediments was inorganic phosphorus (IP), which accounted for 73.33% and organic phosphorus (OP) was only the minor part. (2) Among different forms of inorganic phosphorus, calcium phosphorus (Ca-P) was the dominant forms, accounted for 45.22% of total phosphorus while organic phosphorus, adsorbed-phosphorus (Ads-P), iron-phosphorus (Fe-P) and detritus-phosphorus (Detr-P) was 26.67%, 9.92%, 4.74% and 13.46% respectively. (3) The correlation analysis among different phosphorus forms suggested that the concentrations and distribution of total phosphorus were mainly controlled by organic phosphorus (p < 0.05), while inorganic phosphorus was affected by calcium-phosphorus (p < 0.01). (4) Bioavailable phosphorus in sediments ranged from 358.05 microg/g to 448.39 microg/g and occupied 86.54% of the total phosphorus pool.
