Understanding the long-term biological consequences of crude oil exposure on marine fish is essential for the sustainability of ecologically and economically important species such as Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). While the direct effects of crude oil on early life stages are well documented, adult reproductive vulnerability and intergenerational consequences remain poorly understood, despite their pivotal role in spawning stock viability. Paternal contributions to next-generation outcomes are particularly underexplored. This study examined how parental exposure to a water-soluble fraction of crude oil affects transcriptomic profiles and survival outcomes in Atlantic cod offspring. Adult fish were exposed for 20 days prior to spawning, and offspring were produced by in vitro cross-fertilization to generate four groups: control (unexposed parents), maternally exposed, paternally exposed and biparentally exposed. Embryos were reared under control conditions, and transcriptome profiles were analyzed from fertilization to hatching, alongside assessments of cardiac function and morphology post-hatch. Offspring from exposed females failed to survive to hatching. Eggs were smaller, and transcriptomic data revealed severe downregulation of genes involved in early developmental processes. Chemical analyses confirmed maternal transfer of a diverse range of petroleum aromatic hydrocarbons to oocytes. Our findings point to disrupted oocyte provisioning, likely linked to endocrine and epigenetic disturbances during oocyte maturation. Paternal exposure had minimal effect on RNA expression, and morphology at hatching. However, reduced survival in early larval stages suggests sublethal effects emerging later, possibly through epigenetic mechanisms, a hypothesis requiring further investigation.
了解原油暴露对海洋鱼类的长期生物学影响,对于大西洋鳕鱼等重要生态和经济物种的可持续性至关重要。虽然原油对早期生命阶段的直接影响有充分的记录,但尽管它们在产卵种群的生存能力中起着关键作用,但对成年生殖脆弱性和代际后果的了解仍然很少。父亲对下一代的影响尤其没有得到充分的研究。本研究考察了亲代接触原油水溶性组分如何影响大西洋鳕鱼后代的转录组谱和生存结果。成鱼在产卵前暴露20天,通过体外受精产生后代,分为四组:对照组(未暴露的父母)、母暴露组、父暴露组和双父母暴露组。在对照条件下饲养胚胎,分析从受精到孵化的转录组谱,以及孵化后的心脏功能和形态学评估。受辐射的雌性的后代无法存活到孵化。卵子更小,转录组学数据显示参与早期发育过程的基因严重下调。化学分析证实母体将多种石油芳烃转移到卵母细胞。我们的研究结果表明,卵母细胞供应中断,可能与卵母细胞成熟过程中的内分泌和表观遗传干扰有关。父本暴露对RNA表达和孵化时的形态影响最小。然而,幼虫早期存活率降低表明亚致死效应出现较晚,可能是通过表观遗传机制,这一假设需要进一步研究。

Coastal ecosystems are increasingly threatened by the synergistic pressures of intensive aquaculture and fluctuating terrestrial runoff, yet the mechanisms by which these drivers shape foundational benthic and pelagic algae remain poorly understood. To address this gap, this study systematically investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of benthic and pelagic algae in Sungo Bay by integrating pigment fingerprinting with high-throughput sequencing. Results indicate that mariculture type is a primary determinant of community structure. Dinophyceae dominated coastal and kelp cultivation zones, while Trebouxiophyceae and Ulvophyceae prevailed in the oyster cultivation zone. Seasonal terrestrial fluxes further modulated these patterns, creating a pronounced winter-summer dichotomy. During winter, intensified oyster filtration and biodeposition, coupled with terrestrial inputs, elevated sedimentary total organic carbon/total nitrogen (TOC/TN) ratios (6.83–30). These elevated ratios correlated with enhanced photosynthetic pigment concentrations, increased sequencing reads, and higher operational taxonomic unit (OTU) richness, coinciding with the dominance of Trebouxiophyceae and Ulvophyceae. In summer, reduced oyster filtration shifted TOC/TN regulation to terrestrial inputs, driving a successional transition to Trebouxiophyceae dominance. This work elucidates the dual regulatory roles of aquaculture practices and seasonal terrestrial fluxes, providing critical insights for managing benthic-pelagic coupling and ecosystem function in anthropogenically influenced coastal zones.
沿海生态系统日益受到集约化水产养殖和波动的陆地径流的协同压力的威胁,但这些驱动因素形成基础底栖和远洋藻类的机制仍然知之甚少。为了解决这一空白,本研究采用色素指纹图谱和高通量测序相结合的方法,系统地研究了松果湾底栖和中上层藻类的时空动态。结果表明,海水养殖类型是群落结构的主要决定因素。沿海和海带养殖区以藻门为主,牡蛎养殖区以藻门和藻门为主。季节性陆地通量进一步调节了这些模式,形成了明显的冬夏二分法。冬季,牡蛎过滤和生物沉积加剧,加上陆源输入,沉积物总有机碳/总氮(TOC/TN)比值升高(6.83 ~ 30)。这些比例的增加与光合色素浓度的增加、测序读数的增加和操作分类单位(OTU)丰富度的增加有关,与Trebouxiophyceae和Ulvophyceae的优势相一致。夏季,牡蛎过滤的减少将TOC/TN调节转移到陆地输入,推动了向海藻科优势的连续过渡。这项工作阐明了水产养殖实践和季节性陆地通量的双重调节作用,为管理受人为影响的沿海地区的底-上层耦合和生态系统功能提供了重要见解。

Iron (Fe) contamination in aquaculture environments threatens marine species, particularly Litopenaeus vannamei, with ferric chloride (FeCl3) from industrial uses being a major potential source. This study examines the acute toxicity of FeCl3 in juvenile shrimp through bioaccumulation, histopathology, oxidative stress biomarkers, immune gene expression, and microbiome alterations. Following the determination of the 96-h median-lethal concentration (LC50) of FeCl3 for L. vannamei as 1.194 mg/L, two exposure groups were established; FeC1 (1%) and FeC2 (10%) 96-h LC50 to model low and high sublethal toxicity levels. Bioaccumulation analysis revealed that Fe primarily concentrated in the hepatopancreas, with significantly higher concentrations in Fe-exposed groups compared to controls. Histological analysis showed dose-dependent hepatopancreatic damage, including cell degeneration, lumen collapse, and epithelial necrosis, especially in the FeC2 group. Oxidative stress biomarkers (ROS and MDA) were significantly elevated in Fe-treated groups, with a notable reduction in antioxidant enzyme activities (T-SOD, CAT), and immune parameters (PO, LZM) showed initial activation followed by significant decline. Gene expression analysis indicated transient upregulation of immune (Relish, Toll-2) and antioxidant (Nrf2, GPx, MnSOD) genes, but expression levels of ferritin and lysozyme were suppressed in Fe-exposed shrimp. Microbiome analysis revealed a significant shift towards opportunistic genera such as Enterococcus and Ruegeria in high-dose groups. Functional prediction based on KEGG-pathways indicated enrichment of pathways related to xenobiotic degradation and immune dysfunction, while energy metabolism and immune-related pathways were suppressed. These findings emphasize the significant impact of FeCl3 pollution on shrimp health, indicating the need for strict regulation of iron levels in aquaculture systems.
水产养殖环境中的铁(Fe)污染威胁着海洋物种,特别是凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei),工业用途的氯化铁(FeCl3)是一个主要的潜在来源。本研究通过生物积累、组织病理学、氧化应激生物标志物、免疫基因表达和微生物组改变来研究FeCl3对幼虾的急性毒性。测定了FeCl3对凡纳梅L.的96 h中致死浓度(LC50)为1.194 mg/L,建立2个暴露组;FeC1(1%)和FeC2 (10%) 96 h LC50模型低和高亚致死毒性水平。生物积累分析显示,铁主要集中在肝胰脏,铁暴露组的浓度明显高于对照组。组织学分析显示剂量依赖性肝胰腺损伤,包括细胞变性、管腔塌陷和上皮坏死,特别是在FeC2组。铁处理组氧化应激生物标志物(ROS和MDA)显著升高,抗氧化酶活性(T-SOD、CAT)显著降低,免疫参数(PO、LZM)呈现先激活后显著下降的趋势。基因表达分析表明,铁暴露对虾的免疫(津津乐道、Toll-2)和抗氧化(Nrf2、GPx、MnSOD)基因瞬间上调,而铁蛋白和溶菌酶的表达水平受到抑制。微生物组分析显示,在高剂量组中,向机会性属(如肠球菌和鲁氏菌)发生了重大转变。基于kegg通路的功能预测表明,与外源性降解和免疫功能障碍相关的通路富集,而能量代谢和免疫相关的通路被抑制。这些发现强调了FeCl3污染对对虾健康的重大影响,表明需要严格调节水产养殖系统中的铁水平。

Excessive sulfate (SO42−) flow into marginal seas through megacity rivers, posing a significant threat to the ecological environment of marginal seas. Tracing and quantifying the source of SO42− are essential for maintaining the health and stability of marine ecosystems. This study reported SO42− concentrations and δ34SSO4 in the Yongding River, a typical megacity river discharging into the sea in northern China. The SO42− concentrations averaged 147 mg·L−1, with δ34SSO4 values ranging from +5.85‰ to +14.99‰. Based on hydrochemical indicators and ion ratios, six potential sources were identified (agriculture, sewage, industry, precipitation, evaporite, and sulfide oxidation). A Monte Carlo inverse model integrating δ34SSO4 and ionic ratios was applied to quantify source contributions. Results show that natural weathering (61%) dominates upstream, while anthropogenic inputs (75%) increase downstream, with sewage and industry sources contributing 41% and 33%, respectively. Sulfide oxidation intensifies near reservoirs, suggesting enhanced oxidation driven by water regulation. Total SO42− flux increased longitudinally, with an estimated annual export of 2.31 × 10−4 Tmol yr−1 to the Bohai Sea. Over 70% of SO42− flux originated from anthropogenic sources, highlighting the critical role of human activities in disrupting sulfur cycling in marginal sea. A hydrology-load-redox (H-L-R) framework was proposed to emphasize the importance of multi-factor coordination in pollution control and land-sea integrated watershed management. This study demonstrates that inverse model holds significant promise for application in complex human-dominated systems, offering a viable approach to strengthen pollutant tracing and risk assessment in marginal marine environments.
过量的硫酸盐(SO42−)通过特大城市河流流入边缘海,对边缘海生态环境构成严重威胁。追踪和量化SO42−的来源对于维持海洋生态系统的健康和稳定至关重要。本文报道了中国北方典型的特大城市入海河流永定河的SO42−浓度和δ34SSO4。SO42−平均浓度147 mg·L−1,δ34SSO4值在+5.85‰~ +14.99‰之间。根据水化学指标和离子比,确定了6个潜在来源(农业、污水、工业、降水、蒸发岩和硫化物氧化)。采用蒙特卡罗反演模型积分δ34SSO4和离子比来量化源贡献。结果表明:自然风化在上游占主导地位(61%),而下游人为输入占75%,其中污水和工业来源分别占41%和33%。硫化物氧化在水库附近加剧,表明由水调节驱动的氧化增强。SO42−总通量纵向增加,估计每年向渤海输出2.31 × 10−4 Tmol yr−1。超过70%的SO42−通量来源于人为来源,突出了人类活动在破坏边缘海硫循环中的关键作用。提出了一个水文负荷-氧化还原(H-L-R)框架,强调多因素协调在污染控制和海陆一体化流域管理中的重要性。该研究表明,逆模型在复杂的人类主导系统中具有重要的应用前景,为加强边缘海洋环境中的污染物追踪和风险评估提供了一种可行的方法。

Seagrasses respond sensitively to both natural and anthropogenic pressures, making them effective indicators for assessing pressure-driven changes in marine ecosystem health. This study developed and validated a novel multimetric Seagrass Ecological Health Index (SEHI) by integrating drone-derived and in situ ecological metrics to assess nearshore seagrass condition in Unguja, Zanzibar. The index combines multiple parameters, including measures of abundance, taxonomic composition, eutrophication, leaf condition, and seascape fragmentation. Relationships between SEHI and key natural pressures—tidal desiccation (TEI) and wave exposure (REID)—as well as anthropogenic pressures such as hotel density, fishing intensity, seaweed farming, sea urchin density, and water quality, were evaluated. SEHI exhibited significant negative correlations with tidal desiccation (r = −0.70, p < 0.05), while wave exposure showed a negative but non-significant trend (r = −0.49), and sea urchin density (r = −0.70, p < 0.05), and responded strongly to phosphate, chlorophyll-a, and seaweed farming intensity. Among the component indicators, epiphytic cover showed the highest sensitivity to human pressures. Based on SEHI classification, five of the nine study sites were in moderate ecological condition, while two were in poor condition. The results demonstrate the robustness of the SEHI framework as an integrative, drone-based and field assessment tool capable of detecting seagrass ecosystem responses to multiple stressors. SEHI provides a scalable approach for monitoring and managing seagrass health in Zanzibar and other tropical, data-limited regions, improving the assessment and communication of seagrass ecological condition to managers and stakeholders involved in coastal and marine conservation.
海草对自然和人为压力都有敏感的反应,这使它们成为评估压力驱动的海洋生态系统健康变化的有效指标。本研究开发并验证了一种新的多度量海草生态健康指数(SEHI),通过整合无人机衍生的和原位生态指标来评估桑给巴尔Unguja近岸海草的状况。该指数结合了多个参数,包括丰度、分类组成、富营养化、叶片状况和海景破碎化。SEHI与关键自然压力-潮汐干燥(TEI)和波浪暴露(REID) -以及人为压力(如酒店密度、捕捞强度、海藻养殖、海胆密度和水质)之间的关系进行了评估。SEHI与潮汐干燥呈显著负相关(r = - 0.70, p < 0.05),波浪暴露与海胆密度呈显著负相关(r = - 0.49, p < 0.05),并对磷酸盐、叶绿素a和海藻养殖强度有强烈响应。各组成指标中,附生盖度对人为压力的敏感性最高。基于SEHI分类,9个研究点中有5个处于中等生态状态,2个处于较差生态状态。结果表明,SEHI框架作为一种综合的、基于无人机的现场评估工具,能够检测海草生态系统对多种应激源的响应,具有鲁棒性。SEHI为监测和管理桑给巴尔和其他数据有限的热带地区的海草健康提供了一种可扩展的方法,改善了海草生态状况的评估,并向参与沿海和海洋保护的管理人员和利益攸关方通报了海草生态状况。

SEHI provides a scalable approach for monitoring and managing seagrass health in Zanzibar and other tropical, data-limited regions, improving the assessment and communication of seagrass ecological condition to managers and stakeholders involved in coastal and marine conservation.","PeriodicalId":18215,"journal":{"name":"Marine pollution bulletin","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146146834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plastic pollution remains a significant threat to coral reef ecosystems, even within Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). This study assesses the levels and types of plastic debris, both macroplastics and microplastics, found in coral reef ecosystems at two MPAs in Bali: Karangasem and Nusa Penida. Coral health was evaluated using the Underwater Photo Transect (UPT) method, while plastic particles were identified through field sampling and laboratory analysis, including Raman spectroscopy. Macroplastic accumulation was higher in Karangasem, while microplastic concentrations were comparable between the two regions. Microplastics were detected in coral tissues, and Polyethylene (PET and LDPE) was the dominant polymer. Although Pollution Load Index (PLI) values indicate a low ecological risk, it is evident that both MPAs suffer from coral degradation. Notably, the data suggest that macroplastic may have a more direct impact on coral reefs through physical damage. Despite these threats, both MPAs exhibited high ecological resilience, suggesting strong recovery potential if waste inputs are reduced. The findings highlight the important of improving waste management, especially capacity building and increased funding allocation. Strengthening each strategic approach of the MPAs can reduce plastic leakage into the sea and support coral reef recovery.
塑料污染仍然是珊瑚礁生态系统的重大威胁,即使在海洋保护区(MPAs)内也是如此。这项研究评估了巴厘岛两个海洋保护区(Karangasem和Nusa Penida)珊瑚礁生态系统中塑料碎片的水平和类型,包括宏观塑料和微塑料。使用水下光样带(UPT)方法评估珊瑚健康状况,而通过现场采样和实验室分析(包括拉曼光谱)识别塑料颗粒。大塑性累积在卡兰加西姆较高,而微塑性浓度在两个地区之间具有可比性。珊瑚组织中检测到微塑料,聚乙烯(PET和LDPE)是主要的聚合物。虽然污染负荷指数(PLI)值显示生态风险较低,但显然这两个海洋保护区都受到珊瑚退化的影响。值得注意的是,数据表明,宏观塑料可能通过物理破坏对珊瑚礁产生更直接的影响。尽管存在这些威胁,但两个海洋保护区都表现出较高的生态恢复能力,表明如果减少废物投入,恢复潜力很大。研究结果强调了改善废物管理,特别是能力建设和增加资金分配的重要性。加强海洋保护区的每一项策略,可减少塑胶渗漏入海,支持珊瑚礁复原。

Long-term monitoring of litter stranding on remote islands is an efficient way to track changes in the abundance and composition of floating marine litter. Over 30 years from 1993 to 2024, most beach litter at sub-Antarctic Marion Island derived from offshore sources (95%). The proportion of local, land-based litter decreased from 12% in 1993–1997 to <1% in 2019–2023, mainly due to improved solid waste management at the island's research station. Local litter had a much higher proportion of non-plastic items (68%), especially wood (32%) and metal (22%), than litter items from offshore sources, which were mostly made of plastic (94%). The abundance of fishing gear peaked in the 1990s, when there was a large fishery for Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) around the island. However, even then, fishing gear comprised only 9% of offshore litter items (7% over the whole study period). Bottles (60%) and pieces of foamed polystyrene packaging (17%) accounted for most offshore litter items. The abundance of offshore litter decreased from 1993 to the early 2000s (change point 2004, 95% CI: 2000–2008), then increased until 2023, mainly due to an increase in the numbers of plastic bottles washing ashore. Our results indicate a worrying increase in general household waste at this remote island in the Southern Ocean.
对偏远岛屿上搁浅的垃圾进行长期监测是跟踪漂浮海洋垃圾丰度和组成变化的有效方法。从1993年到2024年的30年间,亚南极马里恩岛的大部分海滩垃圾来自近海(95%)。当地陆地垃圾的比例从1993-1997年的12%下降到2019-2023年的1%,这主要是由于该岛研究站的固体废物管理得到改善。本地垃圾的非塑料物品比例(68%),特别是木材(32%)和金属(22%),远高于主要由塑料制成的海上垃圾(94%)。渔具的丰富程度在20世纪90年代达到顶峰,当时岛上有大量的巴塔哥尼亚齿鱼(Dissostichus eleginoides)。然而,即便如此,渔具也只占近海垃圾的9%(整个研究期间为7%)。瓶子(60%)和泡沫聚苯乙烯包装(17%)占大多数离岸垃圾。从1993年到21世纪初,近海垃圾的丰度下降(变化点2004年,95% CI: 2000-2008年),然后增加到2023年,主要是由于冲上岸的塑料瓶数量增加。我们的研究结果表明,在这个位于南大洋的偏远岛屿上,一般生活垃圾的增加令人担忧。

Organotin compounds (OTs), persistent environmental toxicants, were historically used in antifouling paints and have been banned on vessel hulls in Hong Kong since 2017. This study tested the hypothesis that OTs in seafood from Hong Kong waters, along with their associated dietary human health risks, declined six years post the legislation and enforcement. Analysis of 23 marine species collected in 2023, including molluscs, crustaceans, and fishes revealed total OTs concentrations of 11.8–747 ng/g ww, with the highest in benthic feeding fish Gerres septemfasciatus (747 ± 133 ng/g ww) and the croaker Johnius taiwanensis (696 ± 158 ng/g ww). Following the implementation of legislation, OTs in four commercially important fish species decreased significantly (p < 0.05) by 73.2–95.7%, supporting the effectiveness of regulatory measures. Triphenyltin (TPT), accounting for 32.7–96.4% of total residues across species, dominated the OTs composition in more than 80% marine organisms in this study, and exhibited significant trophic magnification in the marine food web with a trophic magnification factor of 8.61. Dietary exposure to total OTs through seafood consumption was estimated at 1.07 to 525 ng/kg bw/day, yielding a hazard index of 0.001–0.93, which is below the safety threshold of 1 for general adults. However, high consumption of fish species with high TPT concentration (e.g., G. septemfasciatus and J. taiwanensis) could increase health risk. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of regulatory intervention, confirm the persistent ecological risk posed by TPT due to biomagnification, and highlight the need for continued monitoring to safeguard ecosystem and public health.
有机锡化合物(OTs)是一种持久性环境毒物,历来被用于防污涂料,自2017年以来,香港已禁止在船体上使用。这项研究检验了一种假设,即在立法和实施六年后,香港水域海鲜中的OTs及其相关的饮食健康风险有所下降。对2023年采集的23种海洋生物(包括软体动物、甲壳类和鱼类)进行分析,总OTs浓度为11.8 ~ 747 ng/g ww,其中底栖摄食鱼七星鱼(Gerres septemfasciatus)最高(747±133 ng/g ww),台湾约尼乌斯(Johnius taiwan)最高(696±158 ng/g ww)。立法实施后,四种重要商业鱼类的OTs显著减少(p < 0.05),降幅为73.2% - 95.7%,说明监管措施的有效性。三苯基锡(Triphenyltin, TPT)占总残留量的32.7-96.4%,在80%以上的海洋生物中占主导地位,在海洋食物网中表现出显著的营养放大效应,其营养放大系数为8.61。据估计,通过食用海产品摄入总有机脂肪的膳食暴露量为1.07至525纳克/千克体重/天,产生的危害指数为0.001至0.93,低于一般成年人的安全阈值1。然而,大量食用TPT浓度高的鱼类(如七星吉虫和台湾吉虫)可能会增加健康风险。这些发现证明了监管干预的有效性,证实了TPT由于生物放大而造成的持续生态风险,并强调了继续监测以保护生态系统和公众健康的必要性。

The Bohai Sea is under considerable environmental stress due to the significant discharge of inland contaminants. Understanding the optical properties of contaminated sea ice in this region is essential for improving large-scale remote sensing of sea ice contamination. This study investigated the in situ spectral properties of sea ice contaminated with five contaminants, including sediment, motor oil, pulverized coal, charcoal powder, and secondary microplastic fragments, along the eastern coast of Liaodong Bay in the Bohai Sea. The results revealed that most contaminated sea ice exhibited lower reflectance than clean sea ice in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared bands. Specifically, sea ice contaminated with pulverized coal (0.28) and charcoal powder (0.23) showed the lowest reflectance in the visible band. However, sea ice contaminated with secondary microplastic fragments (0.88) had a higher reflectance in the visible band compared to clean sea ice (0.75). Motor oil-contaminated sea ice displayed distinct absorption features between 500 and 550 nm, with the 560 nm wavelength offering a potential band for distinguishing this contaminant from others. In the shortwave infrared region (beyond 1400 nm), all contaminants exhibited higher reflectance than clean sea ice. Sediment-covered sea ice was most recognizable by its high reflectance difference at 1725 nm. Correlation analyses showed strong negative correlations between contaminant mass and reflectance in sea ice contaminated with pulverized coal and charcoal powder across the 350–1350 nm range, while beyond 1430 nm, sediment, secondary microplastic fragments, and charcoal powder exhibited strong positive correlations with contaminant mass.
由于内陆污染物的大量排放,渤海承受着相当大的环境压力。了解该地区受污染海冰的光学特性,对于改善大尺度海冰污染遥感具有重要意义。研究了渤海辽东湾东岸海冰被沉积物、机油、煤粉、炭粉和次生微塑料碎片等5种污染物污染后的原位光谱特性。结果表明,污染海冰在紫外、可见光和近红外波段的反射率均低于清洁海冰。其中,被煤粉(0.28)和木炭粉(0.23)污染的海冰在可见光波段的反射率最低。然而,被次级微塑料碎片污染的海冰在可见光波段的反射率(0.88)高于清洁海冰(0.75)。受机油污染的海冰在500 ~ 550nm波段表现出明显的吸收特征,其中560nm波长为区分这种污染物提供了一个潜在的波段。在短波红外波段(1400 nm以上),污染物的反射率均高于清洁海冰。沉积物覆盖的海冰在1725 nm处的高反射率差是最容易识别的。相关分析表明,在350 ~ 1350 nm范围内,被煤粉和炭粉污染的海冰污染物质量与反射率呈显著负相关,而在1430 nm范围内,沉积物、次生微塑料碎片和炭粉与污染物质量呈显著正相关。

The Southern California Bight (SCB) is polluted with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) due to long-term industrialization and urban development, yet documentation of top-level marine predator exposure to these contaminants is limited. We characterized POP exposure for three SCB dolphin species by analyzing dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in blubber from common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus, n = 37), short-beaked (Delphinus delphis delphis, n = 62), and long-beaked (Delphinus delphis bairdii, n = 46) common dolphins from 1990 to 2012. Temporal, spatial, sex, age, maturity status, and ecotype trends in contaminant concentrations were assessed using multilinear regression models. Short-beaked common dolphins exhibited decreasing POP concentrations temporally, consistent with reduced environmental inputs following regulatory bans. Short-beaked common dolphins from the SCB had higher ΣDDT and ΣPBDE concentrations than those from central California, indicating persistent regional differences. Significant age-sex interactions were observed for all three contaminant classes in both short- and long-beaked common dolphins, reflecting sex-specific bioaccumulation patterns. Long-beaked common dolphins exhibited the highest ΣDDT (∼110 μg/g lipid weight), ΣPCB (∼18 μg/g lipid weight), and ΣPBDE (∼7.3 μg/g lipid weight) concentrations reported globally. Elevated ΣPBDE levels were also observed in both coastal and offshore common bottlenose dolphin ecotypes, as well as in SCB short-beaked common dolphins. These findings demonstrate that exposure to POPs remains elevated among SCB top marine predators, further highlighting the continued value of dolphins as sentinel species for monitoring legacy and emerging contaminants in coastal ecosystems.
由于长期的工业化和城市发展,南加州湾(SCB)受到持久性有机污染物(POPs)的污染,但关于顶级海洋捕食者暴露于这些污染物的记录有限。通过分析1990年至2012年间常见宽吻海豚(Tursiops truncatus, n = 37)、短喙海豚(Delphinus delphis delphis, n = 62)和长喙海豚(Delphinus delphis bairdii, n = 46)鲸脂中的二氯二苯三氯乙烷(DDTs)、多氯联苯(PCBs)和多溴二苯醚(PBDEs),研究了三种SCB海豚的POP暴露特征。使用多元线性回归模型评估污染物浓度的时间、空间、性别、年龄、成熟度状态和生态型趋势。短喙普通海豚的持久性有机污染物浓度暂时下降,这与监管禁令后环境投入减少一致。来自SCB的短喙普通海豚的ΣDDT和ΣPBDE浓度高于来自加利福尼亚中部的,这表明持续的地区差异。在短喙和长喙普通海豚中观察到所有三种污染物类别的显著年龄-性别相互作用,反映了性别特异性的生物积累模式。长喙普通海豚的脂质质量ΣDDT (~ 110 μg/g)、ΣPCB (~ 18 μg/g脂质质量)和ΣPBDE (~ 7.3 μg/g脂质质量)浓度是全球报道的最高的。在沿海和近海普通宽吻海豚生态型以及SCB短喙普通海豚中也观察到ΣPBDE水平升高。这些发现表明,在SCB顶级海洋捕食者中,持久性有机污染物的暴露程度仍然很高,进一步突出了海豚作为监测沿海生态系统中遗留和新出现污染物的哨兵物种的持续价值。

These findings demonstrate that exposure to POPs remains elevated among SCB top marine predators, further highlighting the continued value of dolphins as sentinel species for monitoring legacy and emerging contaminants in coastal ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":18215,"journal":{"name":"Marine pollution bulletin","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146146837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
