摘要:

桡足类种类多、数量大、分布广, 在食物链中处于中间环节, 对海洋生态系统的结构稳定起着重要作用。桡足类幼体获取的营养直接影响其发育, 进而影响桡足类成体补充乃至种群的稳定。本研究于2015年夏季分别在大亚湾核电站邻近海域S1 (进水口水域)和S2 (排水口水域)站进行了调查采样, 应用分子生物学方法检测了桡足幼体现场摄食食物组成。结果显示: 1)两个站的桡足幼体内共检测到16种不同食物, 包括浮游植物(硅藻)11种, 后生动物2种、真菌、Ichthyosporea 和卵菌类各1种共5大类, 其中硅藻(47.30%, 克隆数百分比, 下同)和被囊动物类后生动物(41.89%)是其主要的食物类群; 2)在S1和S2站桡足幼体内分别检测到9种和10种食物, 但主要食物类型有差异, S1站较多后生动物(61.54%), 而S2站较多硅藻(68.57%); 3) S2站的桡足幼体杂食偏植食程度更高, 其杂食性系数(0.31)低于S1站(0.72)。结果表明, 桡足幼体能根据食物环境有选择地摄食植物饵料和动物饵料, 调节食物营养结构; 温排水影响水域桡足幼体更偏向植食性, 尤其是硅藻, 暗示全球变暖可能导致桡足幼体食性偏移。

Abstract:

Copepods play important roles in maintaining the structure of marine ecosystem due to their key position in food chain and their numerous species, quantities and wide distribution. The nutrients obtained by copepod larvae can directly affect their development, then the complement of adult copepods and even their population stability. In this study, in situ feeding of copepodites was evaluated by molecular methods in the waters near the nuclear power plant in Daya Bay (S1: control station, S2: outfall station) in summer 2015. The results showed that 16 prey species in total were identified in both stations, including diatoms (11 species), tunicate (two species), fungi (one species), ichthyosporea (one species), and oomycetes (one species). Diatoms (47.30%) and tunicate (41.89%) were the most abundant food types revealed by the significant proportion of the clones. Similar feeding diversity was discovered in copepodites at S1 and S2, with nine prey species at S1 and 10 at S2, but significant differences in diet composition were revealed, with metazoan (61.54%) and diatoms (68.57%) dominating the diets of copepodites at S1 and S2, respectively. In addition, copepodites appeared to be more herbivorous at S2 with a lower Omnivory Index (0.31) than at S1 (0.72). These results suggested that copepodites could optimize their diet composition by consuming a reasonable percentage of animal and plant materials according to available food sources. More phytoplankton, especially diatoms as diet of copepodites at the outfall station implied that copepodites might change their feeding habits with global warming development.
