应用稳定同位素技术对海州湾拖网渔获物营养级的研究

Trophic level estimation of organisms in landings from Haizhou bay using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis

  • 摘要: 应用碳、氮稳定稳定同位素技术,对2014年夏季海州湾海洋牧场海域拖网渔获物营养级进行了初步分析,建立了海州湾海洋牧场区域主要拖网渔获物的营养结构。结果表明:海州湾拖网渔获物中鱼类氮稳定同位素比值主要集中在9.6‰~13.9‰,碳稳定同位素比值分布范围为-16.2‰~-23.3‰;计算得到的鱼类的营养级最大值和最小值分别为3.9和1.9;其中,中国花鲈和孔虎鱼所处营养级最高,为食物网中的顶级捕食者,螠蛏和中国毛虾营养级相对较低,位于食物网下层;中国花鲈个体大小与其氮稳定同位素比值存在显著正相关关系(R2=0.90,P < 0.01);碳稳定同位素比值分布结果显示海州湾海洋牧场海域各生物类群存在明显的生态位重叠现象。

     

    Abstract: Stable isotope analysis has been considered to be a powerful tool to investigate the food web structure of marine ecosystems and to quantify the trophic position of marine organisms.In this study, the stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values of organisms in the Haizhou bay were measured and their trophic levels were estimated.Results showed that the range of fish stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values were-16.2 ‰~-23.3‰ and 9.6‰~13.9‰, respectively.The trophic levels of fish species ranged from 1.9 to 3.9, with top predators Lateolabrax maculatus and Trypauchen vagina occupied the highest trophic level and the primary consumers Sinonovacula constricta and Acetes chinensis having the lowest ones.There was a significant positive relationship between body size and stable nitrogen isotope values for Oratosquilla oratoria exist, indicating an ontogenetic trophic shift during growth(R2=0.90, P < 0.01).The carbon isotope values of organisms in Haizhou Bay suggested a large overlap in trophic niche among species.
