Origins and transports of the low-salinity coastal water in the southwestern Yellow Sea
ZHU Ping, WU Hui
2018, 37(4): 1-11. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1200-x
Abstract:
In the southwestern Yellow Sea there is a low-salinity and turbid coastal water, the Subei Coastal Water (SCW). The origins of freshwater contents and thus the dissolved terrigenous nutrients in the SCW have been debated for decades. In this study, w...

Abstract:
Polymetallic sulfides from two hydrothermal chimneys and talus deposit from the Vienna Woods field of Manus Basin were studied for mineralogy, elemental composition, and S-isotope ratio to understand their evolution. The factors including the nature ...

Cytogenetic characterization and description of an X1X1X2X2/X1X2Y sex chromosome system in Collichthys lucidus (Richardson, 1844)
ZHANG Shoukang, ZHENG Jiao, ZHANG Jing, WANG Zhiyong, WANG Yilei, CAI Mingyi
2018, 37(4): 34-39. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1152-1
Abstract:
The chromosomes of spinyhead croaker Collichthys lucidus (Richardson, 1844) were characterized for the first time by fluorescence staining, self genomic in situ hybridization (self-GISH), and multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with ...
Influences of diel and tidal cycles on fish assemblage in eelgrass (Zostera marina) bed of southern Korea during autumn
KWAK Seok Nam, PARK Joo Myun, IM Seong Oh, JAWAD Laith A.
2018, 37(4): 40-47. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1174-8
Abstract:
Short-term tidal and diel variations of autumn fish assemblage in a Zostera marina bed were investigated using 3 h interval samplings for 24 h in both spring and neap tide using a small beam trawl. A total of 1 346 fishes belonging to 19 species were...
Differences in planktonic ciliate spatial distribution in spring and autumn in the southern Yellow Sea
ZHANG Shan, LI Haibo, CHEN Xue, DONG Yi, ZHANG Fang, XIAO Tian, ZHANG Wuchang, ZHAO Yuan
2018, 37(4): 48-57. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1147-y
Abstract:
Seasonal variation of marine plankton spatial distribution is important in understanding the biological processes in the ocean. In this study, we studied spatial distribution of planktonic ciliate abundance and biomass in the central deep area (stati...
Effects of nutrient limitations on three species of zooplankton
CHEN Lei, LI Chaolun, ZHOU Konglin, SHI Yongqiang, LIU Mengtan
2018, 37(4): 58-68. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1122-z
Abstract:
Nutrient imbalance-a mismatch in nutrient ratios between the available food supply and the demands of consumers-has the potential to be transported up food chains, exposing zooplankton to nutrient limitations. In this study, the response of Calanus s...
Grazing and performance of the copepod Pseudodiaptomus poplesia on a Chinese strain of Aureococcus anophagefferens
HE Xuejia, HAN Didi, HAN Liuyu, LU Songhui
2018, 37(4): 69-76. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1168-6
Abstract:
Brown tides have recurred in estuary areas globally, but trophic interactions between the causative species Aureococcus anophagefferens and planktonic copepods remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated performance (ingestion, growth, d...
Variability in the empirical leucine-to-carbon conversion factors along an environmental gradient
LI Xiangfu, XU Jie, SHI Zhen, LI Qian, LI Ruihuan
2018, 37(4): 77-82. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1144-1
Abstract:
Bacterial production is one of the key parameters to evaluate bacterial role in ocean carbon fluxes. Estimation of bacterial production requires the leucine-to-carbon conversion factors that change widely across environments. However, empirical leuci...
Rapid, specific and sensitive detection of Vibrio vulnificus by loop-mediated isothermal amplification targeted to vvhA gene
ZHANG Lina, WANG Mingyi, CONG Dianxia, DING Shuyan, CONG Rinan, YUE Jinyong, GENG Jianli, HU Chengjin
2018, 37(4): 83-88. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1182-8
Abstract:
Vibrio vulnificus is an estuarine bacterial pathogen for human. The rapid, specific and sensitive detection of V. vulnificus is urgently needed for early disease diagnosis and timely treatment of V. vulnificus infection. In the study, a loop-mediated...
Phylogenetic analyses of the genes involved in carotenoid biosynthesis in algae
WANG Shanshan, ZHANG Lei, CHI Shan, WANG Guoliang, WANG Xumin, LIU Tao, TANG Xuexi

Abstract:
Carotenoids play a crucial role in absorbing light energy for photosynthesis, as well as in protecting chlorophyll from photodamage. In contrast to the Streptophyta, few studies have examined carotenoid biosynthetic pathways in algae, owing to a shor...
Source of propagules of the fouling green macroalgae in the Subei Shoal, China
