2015年以来，秦皇岛近岸海域暴发了绿潮，对北戴河旅游区的环境和生态系统造成了严重影响。绿藻微观繁殖体在绿潮的形成过程中起到重要作用，主要包括孢子、配子、幼苗和营养片段。绿藻微观繁殖体作为绿潮的“种源”，其分布规律可以反映绿潮的“藻源”位置。本研究于2016年4-9月和2017年1月对秦皇岛近岸海域绿藻微观繁殖体的调查，探究了其分布规律以及生物量变化。结果显示，绿藻微观繁殖体主要分布在近岸海域，由近岸向远岸海域逐渐降低。绿藻微观繁殖体的数量在7、8月份最高，在冬季最低。受绿潮影响严重的海域微观繁殖体数量高于其它海域。秦皇岛近岸海域的绿藻微观繁殖体为该海域绿潮的种源，其分布规律表明秦皇岛近岸海域绿潮起源于本地。

为了揭示苏北浅滩紫菜养殖区附着绿藻和绿藻微观繁殖体的分布现状,从2013年三月到五月份对苏北浅滩紫菜养殖区及附近海域进行航次调查。结果表明, 绿藻微观繁殖体在水体和沉积物中广泛分布,水体中的平均值为267株/L,沉积物中的平均值为43株/g。调查期间,紫菜养殖区筏架上附着绿藻的生物量持续增长。在紫菜筏架上发现有浒苔,缘管浒苔,盒管藻三种绿藻,其优势种为盒管藻,其次是浒苔。研究表明,绿潮发生早期在苏北浅滩海域存在绿藻微观繁殖体和附着绿藻,这将为中国绿潮治理提供理论支撑。

自2007年以来，黄海海域已连续爆发大规模浒苔绿潮并造成了严重的经济损失。在苏北浅滩条斑紫菜养殖筏架上的定生浒苔被认为是漂浮绿潮藻的主要来源。然而，现阶段对筏架定生绿藻的种源基础并不清楚。因此，在本研究中，我们通过现场调查结合室内试验来揭示了筏架定生绿藻的繁殖体源。同时，为了对黄海大规模绿潮进行防控，我们对防止绿藻在紫菜养殖筏架的附着做了相关研究。结果表明，（1）包括浒苔、缘管浒苔、扁浒苔、曲浒苔以及盘苔这五种海藻的微观繁殖体共同存在于苏北浅滩海域的水体及沉积物中，而且在不同时期它们的比例变化明显。（2）经过去皮处理后的毛竹可明显抑制浒苔微观繁殖体的附着。通过本研究，我们明确分布于苏北浅滩海域的绿藻微观繁殖体是黄海大规模绿潮的种源基础。同时，我们为从源头防控黄海大规模绿潮的发生提供了一个可行的手段。

Micro-phytoplankton density, genera composition, chlorophyll a concentration, and physico-chemical parameters were investigated at five stations (S1—near the coast; S2 and S4—at the edges of the aquaculture set-up; S3—in the center of the set-up; and S5—nearby patch of corals) in and around a coastal channelbased fish farm. The highest total micro-phytoplankton density (TPD), including diatoms, dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria, was recorded at S3 ((6.28±2.00)×10⁶ cells/L) followed by S4 ((5.87±2.81)×10⁵ cells/L), S1 ((4.92×105±8.70×10⁴) cells/L), S5 ((3.54×105±5.33×10⁴) cells/L) and S2 ((2.60±1.14)×10⁵ cells/L). Chlorophyll a and nutrient concentrations were highest at S3 and were positively correlated with TPD. Among the 35 genera documented in this study, Chaetoceros spp. was the dominant diatom while Peridinium spp. was the most dominant dinoflagellate. Very low densities of toxic bloom-forming dinoflagellates were encountered during this study. These results suggest that occurrence of non-bloom densities of micro-phytoplankton, possibly due to the natural flushing of the existing lagoonal channel at the aquaculture site, yielded in little environmental impact and can represent an appropriate sustainable approach for future aquaculture development.

Due to the need of rapid and sustainable development in China's coastal zones,the high-resolution information theory using data mining technology becomes an urgent research focus.However,the traditional pixel-based image analysis methods cannot meet the needs of this development trend.The paper attempts to present an information extraction approach in terms of image segmentation based on an object-oriented algorithm for high-resolution remote sensing images.An aim of the author' research is to establish an identification system of "pixel-primitive-object".Through extraction and combination of micro-scale coastal zone features,some objects are classified or recognized,e.g.,tidal flat,water line,sea wall,and mariculture pond.Firstly,the authors extract various internal features of relatively homogeneous primitive objects using an image segmentation algorithm based on both spectral and shape information.Secondly,the features of those primitives are analyzed to ascertain an optimal object by adopting certain feature rules.The results from this research indicate that our model is practical to realize and the extraction accuracy of the coastal information is significantly improved as compared with the traditional approaches.Therefore,this study provides a potential way to serve the author' highly dynamic coastal zones for monitoring,management,development and utilization.

Layer-block tectonics (LBT) concept, with the core of pluralistic geodynamic outlook and multilayer-sliding tectonic outlook, is one of new keys to study 3-dimensional solid and its 4-dimensional evolution history of global tectonic system controlled by global geodynamics system. The LBT concept is applied to study the lithospheric tectonics of the southern South China Sea (SCS). Based on the analysis of about 30 000 km of geophysical and geological data, some layer-blocks in the Nansha micro-plate can be divided as Nansha ultra-crustal layer-block, Zengmu crustal layer-block, Nanwei (Rifleman bank)-Andu (Ardasier bank) and Liyue (Reed bank)-North Palawan crustal layer-blocks, Andu-Bisheng and Liyue-Banyue basemental layer-blocks. The basic characteristics of the basemental layer-blocks have been dicussed, and three intra-plate basin groups are identified. The intra-plate basins within Nansha micro-plate can be divided into three basin groups of Nanwei-Andu, Feixin-Nanhua, and Liyue-North Palawan based on the different geodynamics. In the light of pluralistic geodynamic concept, the upheaving force induced by the mid-crust plastic layer is proposed as the main dynamical force which causes the formation of the intra-plate basins within the Nansha micro-plate. Finally, models of a face-to-face dip-slip-detachment of basemental layerblock and a unilateral dip-slip-detachment of basemental layer-block are put forward for the forming mechanisms of the Nanwei-Andu and Liyue-North Palawan intra-plate basin groups, respectively.

On the basis of the in situ data of DO₂, pH, SiO₂, PO₄-P, NO₃-N and NO₂-N collected in the north of the East China Sea during 1987-1988, the following points are mainly expounded.
1.The inorgonic nutrients are obviously affected by continent runoff in the north of the East China Sea. Their distributions are characteristic of its distribution of terrigenous materials.
2.There are three transport paths of nutrients from the shelf to the Kuroshio area. The first is mixing-diffusing-advection and upwelling process, the process of biology and biochemistry belongs to the second, and the sinking process is the last one.
3.The swing of the Kuroshio axis affectes both the range of the migration of substances through mixing-diffusing-advection process and the upwelling degree of the subsurface Kuroshio water to the shelf.
4.Most part of the substances sink as macroparticles to the deep layer before reaching the Kuroshio area.

O-phthaldialdehyde is used for the determination of free amino acid in seawater by measuring the fluorescence produced by its reaction with the a-amino group of amino acids. This method is so sensitive that as little as 1-10 nM of amino acids and less than 1 ml of seawater may be sufficient for one test.
This method is simple, rapid and accurate and a-amino acids contained in seawater can directly be determined without concentration and extraction. It is free from the interference of large content of inorganic salts and other nitrogenous compounds in seawater.
A hundred and fifty-two samples collected at 24 stations in offshore of Zhejiang have been analyzed. The results obtained show that the range of concentration of the total free amino acid is 0.37-4.70 μM. The values are high near shore and low offshore.

Gas-bearing sediments are widely distributed in five continents all over the world. Most of the gases exist in the soil skeleton in the form of discrete large bubbles. The existence of gas-phase may increase or decrease the strength of the soil skeleton. So far, bubbles’ structural morphology and evolution characteristics in soil skeleton lack research, and the influence of different gas reservoir pressures on bubbles are still unclear. The micro characteristics of bubbles in the same sediment sample were studied using an industrial CT scanning test system to solve these problems. Using the image processing software, the micro variation characteristics of gas-bearing sediments in gas reservoir pressure change are obtained. The results show that the number and volume of bubbles in different equivalent radius ranges will change regularly under different gas reservoir pressure. With the increase of gas reservoir pressure, the number and volume of tiny bubbles decrease. In contrast, the number and volume of large bubbles increase, and the gas content in different positions increases and occupies a dominant position, driving the reduction of pore water and soil skeleton movement.

A new oscillopolarographic method for the determination of Si (Ⅳ) is described in this paper. In the system HCl-Sb(Ⅲ)-Mo(Ⅵ)-NaCl-ethyl alcohol, Si (Ⅳ) with Sb (Ⅲ) and Mo (Ⅵ) form ternary heteropoly acid. The anion of ternary heteropoly is adsorbed on the dropping mercury electrobe and under proper electric potentials reduced quickly into heteropoly blue. The process of electrochemical reaction will produce a sensitive polarographic wave with peak potential at -0.30(Vs. SCE). The lower limit of determination is 8×10^-8 mol/dm³. This method is sensitive, accurate and extremely rapid for the determination of micro-silicon in seawater.
