Transcriptome analysis and co‐expression network reveal the mechanism linking mitochondrial function to immune regulation in red crucian carp ( Carassius auratus red var) after Aeromonas hydrophila challenge - Ning‐Xia Xiong; Xu‐Ying Kuang; Zi‐Xuan Fang; Jie Ou; Shi‐Yun Li; Jia‐Hui Zhao; Jin‐Fang Huang; Ke‐Xin Li; Rou Wang; Lan‐Fen Fan; Sheng‐Wei Luo; Shao‐Jun Liu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Aeromonas hydrophila is a common pathogen of freshwater fish. In this study, A. hydrophila infection was shown to cause tissue damage, trigger physiological changes as well as alter the expression profiles of immune‐ and metabolic‐related genes in immune tissues of red crucian carp (RCC). Transcriptome analysis revealed that acute A. hydrophila infection exerted a profound effect on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation linking metabolic regulation to immune response. In addition, we further identified cellular senescence, apoptosis, necrosis and mitogen‐activated protein kinase signal pathways as crucial signal pathways in the kidney of RCC subjected to A. hydrophila infection. These findings may have important implications for understanding modulation of immunometabolic response to bacterial infection.

High temperature and hypoxia greatly threaten marine life and aquaculture. Scallops, a diverse and ecologically important group of high economic value, mostly thrive in fluctuating environments, and are vulnerable to environmental stress. In the present study, the molecular response mechanism of scallops to a combination of environmental stressors was investigated via transcriptome analysis of the gill tissues in three scallop species, the Yesso scallop ( Patinopecten yessoensis ), Zhikong scallop ( Chlamys farreri ) and bay scallop ( Argopecten irradians ) that were exposed to transient heat, hypoxia and a combination thereof. The Yesso scallop had the most differentially expressed genes (DEGs) compared with the other two scallop species, indicating the highest sensitivity of the Yesso scallop to environmental stress. With increased temperature and decreased dissolved oxygen, the number of DEGs was greatly increased in the three scallop species, indicative of the enhancement in gene expression regulation in scallops in response to severe environmental changes. Heat and hypoxia had a synergistic effect on scallops. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of DEGs under different stressors revealed overlapping molecular mechanisms of response in scallops following exposure to heat and hypoxia. Several immune and apoptosis-related pathways were highly enriched in the upregulated DEGs of the three scallops, suggesting that immune system activation and apoptosis promotion occurred in scallops in response to environmental stress. Heat shock proteins ( HSPs ) were significantly upregulated under heat and hypoxia, which likely assisted in correct protein folding to facilitate the adaption of the scallops to the altered environment. Additionally, the HIF-1 signaling pathway—the key pathway associated with hypoxia response—was triggered by extremely acute environmental changes. Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed 239 positively selected genes among the different scallops, including those involved in immune system and environmental adaptation, suggesting a long-term mechanism of environmental adaptation. The present study provides new insights into the molecular response mechanism in scallops to multiple environmental stressors and improves our understanding of the adaptive mechanisms of marine organisms under changing global climate conditions.

The potential of mineral weathering of halophilic-endophytic bacteria isolated from Suaeda salsa and Spartina anglica - Jun Xi; Kaiqiang Qian; Lidong Shan; Jing Huang; Yanan Yan (Archives of Microbiology, 2022)
Bacteria have the abilities of salt tolerant, mineral weathering and plant growth promoting can promote the growth of plants in saline lands. However, few reports of the mineral weathering capacity of halophilic-endophytic bacteria, raising the question of whether the halophilic-endophytic weathering bacteria are fundamentally distinct from those in plants communities. In this study, we isolated and characterized halophilic bacterial strains from the roots and leaves of Suaeda salsa and Spartina anglica with respect to their mineral weathering pattern, role in the promoting plant growth, community structure, and their changes in these two plants. Using improved Gibbson medium, we obtained 156 halophilic bacterial strains, among which 92 and 64 strains were isolated from the S. salsa and S. anglica samples, respectively. The rock weathering patterns of the isolates were characterized using batch cultures that measure the quantity of Si, Al, K, and Fe released from crystal biotite under aerobic conditions. Significantly, the biomass and capacity of the mineral weathering of the halophilic-endophytic bacteria were different in the plants. The abundance of the halophilic-endophytic bacterials in the Suaeda salsa was significantly greater than Spartina anglica , whereas the mineral weathering bacterial in the Suaeda salsa was similar to the Spartina anglica . Furthermore, the proportion of plant growth-promoting bacteria in the Suaeda salsa was higher than Spartina anglica . Phylogenetic analyses show that the weathered minerals were inhabited by specific functional groups of bacteria ( Halomonas , Acinetobacter , Burkholderia , Alcaligenes , Sphingobium , Arthrobacter , Chryseobacterium , Paenibacillus , Microbacterium , Ensifer , Ralstonia and Enterobacter ) that contribute to the mineral weathering. The changes in halophilic endophytes weathering communities between the two plants were attributable not only to major bacterial groups but also to a change in the minor population structure.

Combined Effects of Eco-Substrate and Carbon Addition on Water Quality, Fish Performance and Nutrient Budgets in the Pond Polyculture System - Kun Guo; Zhigang Zhao; Jun Xie; Liang Luo; Shihui Wang; Rui Zhang; Wei Xu; Xiaoli Huang (Fishes, 2022)
Traditional aquaculture can cause serious environmental pollution. Biofilm and biofloc technology have the potential to limit aquaculture pollution. An outdoor experiment was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of eco-substrates and carbon addition on water quality, fish performance and nutrient budgets in the pond polyculture system. In the treatment group, the total ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, and total nitrogen of the water were significantly lower compared to the control group (p 92%) and P (>95%) input during the experiment. Comprehensive accumulation was the main N (>58%) and P (>69%) output. The N and P feed input and comprehensive accumulation output declined in the treatment group. The N utilization efficiency in the experimental group increased slightly (p > 0.05), while the P utilization efficiency in the experimental group was significantly higher compared to the control (p

Improving protected area effectiveness through consideration of different human‐pressure baselines - Chun‐Ting Feng; Ming Cao; Fang‐Zheng Liu; Yue Zhou; Jin‐Hong Du; Li‐Bo Zhang; Wen‐Jie Huang; Jian‐Wu Luo; Jun‐Sheng Li; Wei Wang (Conservation Biology, 2022)
Previous assessments of the effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) focused primarily on changes in human pressure over time and did not consider the different human‐pressure baselines of PAs, thereby potentially over‐ or underestimating PA effectiveness. We developed a framework that considers both human‐pressure baseline and change in human pressure over time and assessed the effectiveness of 338 PAs in China from 2010 to 2020. The initial state of human pressure on PAs was taken as the baseline, and changes in human pressure index (HPI) were further analyzed under different baselines. We used the random forest models to identify the management measures that most improved effectiveness in resisting human pressure for the PAs with different baselines. Finally, the relationships between the changes in the HPI and the changes in natural ecosystems in PAs were analyzed with different baselines. Of PAs with low HPI baselines, medium HPI baselines, and high HPI baselines, 76.92% ( n =150), 11.11% ( n =12), and 22.86% ( n =8) , respectively, showed positive effects in resisting human pressure. Overall, ignoring human‐pressure baselines somewhat underestimated the positive effects of PAs, especially for those with low initial human pressure. For PAs with different initial human pressures, different management measures should be taken to improve effectiveness and reduce threats to natural ecosystems. We believe our framework is useful for assessing the effectiveness of PAs globally, and we recommend it be included in the Convention on Biological Diversity Post‐2020 Strategy.

Molecular Characterization, Evolution and Expression Analysis of TNFSF14 and Three TNFSF Receptors in Spotted Gar Lepisosteus oculatus - Yaxin Wu; Zhao Jia; Huifeng Dang; Hehe Xiao; Wenji Huang; Qin Liu; Kangyong Chen; Lei Zhang; Jun Zou; Junya Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The tumor necrosis superfamily (TNFSF) and their receptors (TNFRs) play an essential role in inflammatory responses. In this study, tnfsf14, tnfrsf1a, tnfrsf1b and tnfrsf14 were identified in spotted gar. All the genes have conserved genomic organization and synteny with their respective homologs in zebrafish and humans. The putative TNFSF protein contains a typical TNF homology domain in the extracellular region. All three TNFRSFs possess characteristic cysteine-rich domains. TNFRSF1a has a death domain in the cytosolic region which is absent in the TNFRSF1b and TNFRSF14. Notably, TNFRSF14 lacks a transmembrane domain and is predicted to be secreted. Protein structure modeling revealed that the key residues involved in the interaction between TNFSF14 and TNFRSF14 are well conserved in spotted gar. All four genes were ubiquitously expressed in the spleen, liver, kidney, gills and intestine. Infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae resulted in remarkable downregulation of tnfsf14 and tnfrsf14 in tissues but upregulation of tnfrsf1a and tnfrsf1b. The results indicate that tnfsf14, tnfrsf1a, tnfrsf1b and tnfrsf14 are involved in the immune response to bacterial infection, and expand knowledge on the TNF system in the primitive ray-finned fish.

Evaluation of LAI Estimation of Mangrove Communities Using DLR and ELR Algorithms With UAV, Hyperspectral, and SAR Images - Bolin Fu; Jun Sun; Yeqiao Wang; Wenlan Yang; Hongchang He; Lilong Liu; Liangke Huang; Donglin Fan; Ertao Gao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The high-precision estimation of mangrove leaf area index (LAI) using a deep learning regression algorithm (DLR) always requires a large amount of training sample data. However, it is difficult for LAI field measurements to collect a sufficient amount of sample data in mangrove wetlands. To tackle this challenge, this paper proposed an approach for expanding training samples and quantitatively evaluated the performance of estimating LAI for mangrove communities using Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and Transformer algorithms. This study also explored the effects of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and Sentinel-2A multispectral, orbital hyper spectral (OHS), and GF-3 SAR images on LAI estimation of different mangrove communities. Finally, this paper evaluated the LAI estimation ability of mangrove communities using ensemble learning regression (ELR) and DLR algorithms. The results showed that: (1) the UAV images achieved the better LAI estimation of different mangrove communities (R 2 = 0.5974–0.6186), and GF-3 SAR images were better for LAI estimation of Avicennia marina with high coverage (R 2 = 0.567). The optimal spectral range for estimating LAI for mangroves in the optical images was between 650–680 nm. (2) The ELR model outperformed single base model, and produced the high-accuracy LAI estimation (R 2 = 0.5266–0.713) for different mangrove communities. (3) The average accuracy (R 2 ) of the ELR model was higher by 0.0019–0.149 than the DLR models, which demonstrated that the ELR model had a better capability (R 2 = 0.5865–0.6416) in LAI estimation. The Transformer-based LAI estimation of A. marina (R 2 = 0.6355) was better than the DNN model, while the DNN model produced higher accuracy for Kandelia candel (KC) (R 2 = 0.5577). (4) With the increase in the expansion ratio of the training sample (10–50%), the LAI estimation accuracy (R 2 ) of DNN and Transformer models for different mangrove communities increased by 0.1166–0.2037 and 0.1037–0.1644, respectively. Under the same estimation accuracy, the sample enhancement method in this paper could reduce the number of filed measurements by 20–40%.

Natural component plumbagin as a potential antibacterial agent against Streptococcus agalactiae infection - Ai‐Guo Huang; Lin‐Jun Su; Wei‐Hao He; Fa‐Li Zhang; Chao‐Shuai Wei; Ying‐Hui Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Streptococcus agalactiae , also known as Group B Streptococcus (GBS), can infect humans, terrestrial animals and fish. The emergence of bacterial resistance of S. agalactiae to antibiotics leads to an urgent need of exploration of new antimicrobial agents. In the study, the antibacterial activity of natural component plumbagin (PLB) against S. agalactiae was investigated in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PLB against S. agalactiae was 8 mg/L. The growth curve assay revealed that PLB could inhibit the growth of S. agalactiae . In addition, the time‐killing curve showed that S. agalactiae was killed almost completely by 2‐fold MIC of PLB within 12 h. Transmission electron microscopy results showed obvious severe morphological destruction and abnormal cells of S. agalactiae after treated with PLB. The pathogenicity of S. agalactiae to zebrafish was significantly decreased after preincubation with PLB for 2 h in vitro, further indicating the bactericidal activity of PLB. Interestingly, PLB could kill S. agalactiae without inducing resistance development. Furthermore, pretreatment and post‐treatment assays suggested that PLB also exhibited the antibacterial activity against S. agalactiae infection in vivo by effectively reducing the bacterial load and improving the survival rate of S. agalactiae ‐infected zebrafish. In summary, PLB had potent antibacterial activity against S. agalactiae in vitro and in vivo, and it could be an excellent antimicrobial candidate to prevent and control S. agalactiae infection.

Revealing the Effectiveness of Fisheries Policy: A Biological Observation of Species Johnius belengerii in Xiamen Bay - Liang-Min Huang; Jia-Qiao Wang; Yi-Jia Shih; Jun Li; Ta-Jen Chu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The rapid development of China’s economy has brought tremendous pressure to the marine ecosystem, and about 57% of marine fish populations have been overexploited or collapsed. A series of fisheries policies have been implemented successively to improve the decline of resources. Over the past decade, the fisheries sector has particularly increased focus on resource and ecosystem sustainability, which has led to the wider use of stock management policies in China. Therefore, fishery resource assessment is crucial, such as assessing the long-term changes in biological information. This study is based on biological characteristics of Johnius belengerii captured by bottom trawls in Xiamen Bay during two periods, beginning in 2006 and 2016. Length composition, length–weight relationship, growth, mortality, sexual maturation, and feeding intensity were analyzed. The changes in biological characteristics show that there is a phenomenon of improvement in the later period, of which the changes are closely related to a series of fisheries management strategies, such as setting closed fishing periods and non-fishing areas, and establishing fishery restoration marine protected areas. This result seems to reveal the effectiveness of a long-term series of fisheries policies. It can provide an important basis and visibility for management effectiveness.

Hepatic Metabolomics Analysis of Hybrid Grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀×Epinephelus polyphekadion♂) Fed With Quercetin and Sodium Quercetin-5′-Sulfonates - Jun Luo; Eric Amenyogbe; Jian-sheng Huang; Gang Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Combining feeding trials and metabolomics analyses of tissues and biofluids could shed light on nutrient effects and changes in feed intake. In the present study, hybrid grouper (F1 hybrid Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀×Epinephelus polyphekadion ♂) was used as the marine fish model to quantify the impacts of quercetin and sodium quercetin-5′-sulfonates on serum biochemistry and the status of hepatic lipid accumulation and the changes of metabolites in the liver using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTRAP/MS/MS). The study shows that total protein, albumin, alkaline phosphatase and glucose were not significantly different among the three groups ( P > 0.05). Total cholesterol, triglyceride, and alanine aminotransferase of fish fed quercetin, and sodium quercetin-5′-sulfonates were significantly lower than fish fed without additives ( P < 0.05). Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and aspartate aminotransferase of fish fed quercetin were significantly lower than that of fish fed without additives and sodium quercetin-5′-sulfonates ( P < 0.05). The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol of fish fed quercetin, and sodium quercetin-5′-sulfonates were significantly higher than that of fish fed without additives ( P < 0.05). Lipid accumulation in the quercetin and sodium quercetin-5′-sulfonates groups decreased significantly. Quercetin and sodium quercetin-5′-sulfonates were effective by increasing hypolipidemic and hepatoprotective compounds that are known for reducing blood lipid levels and liver fat accumulation. As a result of this study, we provide international data for metabolic adaptations during the additives feeding using the fish liver as the study model. By understanding the metabolic effects of these feed additives, this study provides a first step toward understanding the molecular mechanisms of these additives and how they function.

Water Circulation Driven by Cold Fronts in the Wax Lake Delta (Louisiana, USA) - Qian Zhang; Chunyan Li; Wei Huang; Jun Lin; Matthew Hiatt; Victor H. Rivera-Monroy (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Atmospheric cold fronts can periodically generate storm surges and affect sediment transport in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM). In this paper, we evaluate water circulation spatiotemporal patterns induced by six atmospheric cold front events in the Wax Lake Delta (WLD) in coastal Louisiana using the 3-D hydrodynamic model ECOM-si. Model simulations show that channelized and inter-distributary water flow is significantly impacted by cold fronts. Water volume transport throughout the deltaic channel network is not just constrained to the main channels but also occurs laterally across channels accounting for about a quarter of the total flow. Results show that a significant landward flow occurs across the delta prior to the frontal passage, resulting in a positive storm surge on the coast. The along-channel current velocity dominates while cross-channel water transport occurs at the southwest lobe during the post-frontal stage. Depending on local weather conditions, the cold-front-induced flushing event lasts for 1.7 to 7 days and can flush 32–76% of the total water mass out of the system, a greater range of variability than previous reports. The magnitude of water flushed out of the system is not necessarily dependent on the duration of the frontal events. An energy partitioning analysis shows that the relative importance of subtidal energy (10–45% of the total) and tidal energy (20–70%) varies substantially from station to station and is linked to the weather impact. It is important to note that within the WLD region, the weather-induced subtidal energy (46–66% of the total) is much greater than the diurnal tidal energy (13–25% of the total). The wind associated with cold fronts in winter is the main factor controlling water circulation in the WLD and is a major driver in the spatial configuration of the channel network and delta progradation rates.

The parasitoid Aenasius arizonensis prefers its natural host but can parasitize a nonnatural host in the laboratory: an opportunity for control of a new invasive mealybug - Jun Huang; Fuying Zhi; Juan Zhang; Xiaowei Li; Yaobin Lu (Journal of Pest Science, 2022)
The absence of natural enemies in newly invaded areas is a key factor in the successful invasion of alien species. Whether a specific parasitoid can be domesticated to attack a nonnatural host that has no reported parasitic enemies in invasive areas remains unclear. Here, we analyzed two invasive mealybugs (PSS- Phenacoccus solenopsis and PSI- Phenacoccus solani ) and a specific parasitoid of P. solenopsis ( Aenasius arizonensis ) to verify this hypothesis under laboratory conditions. A. arizonensis preferred to parasitize PSS, but after 6 h, it also parasitized PSI female adults. The number of visits and parasitism rate was significantly higher for PSS than for PSI. However, the contact time was influenced by the natal host. The chemical volatiles emitted by the two hosts were different and may be an important factor for host choice. Offspring fitness, measured as emergence time, longevity, and hind tibia length, in those emerging from PSS was better in those emerging from PSI, but the emergence rate was higher in the latter. We supposed that A. arizonensis accepts and parasitizes low-quality hosts not because of an "incomplete" evaluation but because it may be more profitable to parasitize than not given circumstances; this may provide an opportunity for the control of a new invasive mealybug in the future.

The Cenozoic history of palms: Global diversification, biogeography and the decline of megathermal forests - Jun Ying Lim; Huasheng Huang; Alexander Farnsworth; Daniel J. Lunt; William J. Baker; Robert J. Morley; W. Daniel Kissling; Carina Hoorn (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2022)
Aim Megathermal rain forests and mangroves are much smaller in extent today than in the early Cenozoic, primarily owing to global cooling and drying trends since the Eocene–Oligocene transition ( c . 34 Ma). The general reduction of these biomes is hypothesized to shape the diversity and biogeographical history of tropical plant clades. However, this has rarely been examined owing to a paucity of good fossil records of tropical taxa and the difficulty in assigning them to modern clades. Here, we evaluate the role that Cenozoic climate change might have played in shaping the diversity and biogeography of tropical plants through time. Location Global. Time period Cenozoic, 66 Ma to present. Major taxa studied Four palm clades (Calaminae, Eugeissoneae, Mauritiinae and Nypoideae) and their fossil pollen record. Methods We compiled fossil pollen occurrence records for each focal palm lineage to reconstruct their diversity and biogeographical distribution throughout the Cenozoic. We use climatic niche models to project the distribution of climatically suitable areas for each lineage in the past, using palaeoclimatic data for the Cenozoic. Results For most palm lineages examined, global pollen taxonomic diversity declined throughout the Cenozoic. Geographical ranges for each focal lineage contracted globally and experienced regional‐scale extinctions (e.g., Afrotropics), particularly after the Miocene. However, climatic niche models trained on extant species of these focal lineages often predict the presence of climatically suitable habitat in areas where these lineages went extinct. Main conclusions Globally, the decline in megathermal rain forest and mangrove extent might have led to declines in diversity and range contractions in some megathermal plant taxa throughout the Cenozoic. Although global climatic trends are an important backdrop for the biogeography and diversity of tropical groups at global scales, their continental‐ or regional‐scale biogeographical trajectories might be more dependent on regional abiotic and biotic contexts.

Three-Dimensional Simulations of Scour around Pipelines of Finite Lengths - Dongfang Liang; Jie Huang; Jingxin Zhang; Shujing Shi; Nichenggong Zhu; Jun Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In the past few decades, there have been many numerical studies on the scour around offshore pipelines, most of which concern two-dimensional setups, with the pipeline infinitely long and the flow perpendicular to the pipeline. Based on the Ansys FLUENT flow solver, this study establishes a numerical tool to study the three-dimensional scour around pipelines of finite lengths. The user-defined functions are written to calculate the sediment transport rate, update the bed elevation, and adapt the computational mesh to the new boundary. The correctness of the model has been verified against the measurements of the conventional two-dimensional scour around a long pipe and the three-dimensional scour around a sphere. A series of computations are subsequently carried out to discover how the scour hole is dependent on the pipeline length. It is found that the equilibrium scour depth increases with the pipeline length until the pipeline length exceeds four times the pipe diameter.

Study on the Comparison of the Hydraulic Performance and Pressure Pulsation Characteristics of a Shaft Front-Positioned and a Shaft Rear-Positioned Tubular Pump Devices - Dongtao Ji; Weigang Lu; Linguang Lu; Lei Xu; Jun Liu; Wei Shi; Guohao Huang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The shaft front-positioned tubular pump device has been widely used in practical engineering, but the shaft rear-positioned pump device is rarely used due to its low efficiency. To investigate the effect of the shaft position on the performance of a tubular pump device, the optimized shaft front-positioned and shaft rear-positioned pump devices were compared and studied. Both tubular pump devices adopt a TJ04-ZL-06 pump model. Three dimensional steady and unsteady numerical simulations combined with model tests were used to compare the difference of two pump devices. Meanwhile, three groups of pressure monitoring points were set at different positions of the pump device to collect pressure information and pressure pulsation was analyzed. The results show that, the highest efficiency of the shaft front and rear positioned pump device are 81.78% and 80.26%, respectively. The hydraulic performance of the two inlet passages is excellent, and the hydraulic loss is close to each other. Therefore, the hydraulic performance of the pump device depends mainly on the hydraulic performance of the outlet passage. The shaft is set in the outlet passage, which will increase the hydraulic loss and reduce efficiency. Under design conditions, the pressure pulsation amplitude at the impeller inlet is the largest, and the pressure pulsation amplitude increases from the hub to the shroud. The pressure pulsation amplitude of the shaft rear-positioned pump device is larger than that of the shaft front-positioned pump device. The pressure pulsation at the impeller inlet and outlet is greatly affected by the number of blades, and the main frequency is three times the RF. This study can provide practical and effective guidance for the design and optimization of the shaft front-positioned and rear-positioned tubular pump devices, which has theoretical value and application value.

Evaluating the Effects Related to Restocking and Stock Replenishment of Penaeus penicillatus in the Xiamen Bay, China - Jia-Qiao Wang; Yi-Jia Shih; Liang-Ming Huang; Jun Li; Wei-Wen Li; Chun-Han Shih; Ta-Jen Chu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The quantitative evaluation of restocking and stock replenishment is essential for providing operational feedback and implementing adaptive management for future restoration projects. Since 2010, approximately 700 million juvenile shrimp (Penaeus penicillatus) have been released into Xiamen Bay, Fujian Province, China, each year, through stock replenishment programs. The recruited shrimp were sampled through three-year bottom trawl surveys from 2014 to 2017. The biological characteristics and catch equation were used to evaluate the effect of restocking and stock replenishment. The analysis uses the FAO-ICLARM Stock Assessment Tool (FISAT II) program. In general, there are two sources of recruitments—one from spawning brood stock and the other from released juvenile shrimp. We constructed an evaluation model for an effect evaluation based on Baranov’s catch equation to separate the initial recruitment volume using survey data. The relationship between body weight and total length was W = 1.638 TL2.9307. There is no statistically significant difference between males and females. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters derived for prawns, using FiSAT II, were L∞ = 209.6 mm and K = 0.51 per year. In spring 2014, the initial resource amount was 49,200, while the ratio of effective recruitment and parent amount was 3.92. The survival rate of the released shrimp larvae, 1.88‱, seems to be very unsatisfactory. The resource amount in summer and autumn is higher than in winter and spring. Obviously, the restocking effect is lower and the programs need to be improved. To improve the restocking effect, the replenishment performance should be adjusted to reduce the mortality rate and increase its release effectiveness. Therefore, corresponding implementations are recommended, including standard extensive culture, reduction in stress during transportation, and temporary culture.

Numerical Investigation of Scour Beneath Pipelines Subjected to an Oscillatory Flow Condition - Jun Huang; Guang Yin; Muk Chen Ong; Dag Myrhaug; Xu Jia (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The present study carries out two-dimensional numerical simulations to investigate scour beneath a single pipeline and piggyback pipelines subjected to an oscillatory flow condition at a Keulegan–Carpenter (KC) number of 11 using SedFoam (an open-source, multi-dimensional Eulerian two-phase solver for sediment transport based on OpenFOAM). The turbulence flow is resolved using the two-phase modified k−ω 2006 model. The particle stresses due to the binary collisions and enduring contacts among the sediments are modeled using the rheology model of granular flow. The present numerical model is validated for the scour beneath a single pipeline, and the simulated sediment profiles are compared with published experimental data and numerical simulation results. The scour process beneath three different piggyback pipelines under the same flow condition are also considered, and the scour development and surrounding flow patterns are discussed in detail. Typical steady-streaming structures around the pipeline due to the oscillatory flow condition are captured. The scour depth during the initial development of the scour process for the piggyback pipeline with the small pipeline placed above the large one is the largest among all the investigated configurations. The phase-averaged flow fields show that the flow patterns are influenced by the additional small pipeline.

Simulation of summer climate over Central Asia shows high sensitivity to different land surface schemes in WRF - Sha Lu; Weidong Guo; Yongkang Xue; Fang Huang; Jun Ge (Climate Dynamics, 2021)
Land surface processes are vital to the performance of regional climate models in dynamic downscaling application. In this study, we investigate the sensitivity of the simulation by using the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model at 10-km resolution to the land surface schemes over Central Asia. The WRF model was run for 19 summers from 2000 to 2018 configured with four different land surface schemes including CLM4, Noah-MP, Pleim-Xiu and SSiB, hereafter referred as Exp-CLM4, Exp-Noah-MP, Exp-PX and Exp-SSiB respectively. The initial and boundary conditions for the WRF model simulations were provided by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction Final (NCEP-FNL) Operational Global Analysis data. The ERA-Interim reanalysis (ERAI), the GHCN-CAMS and the CRU gridded data were used to comprehensively evaluate the WRF simulations. Compared with the reanalysis and observational data, the WRF model can reasonably reproduce the spatial patterns of summer mean 2-m temperature, precipitation, and large- scale atmospheric circulation. The simulations, however, are sensitive to the option of land surface scheme. The performance of Exp-CLM4 and Exp-SSiB are better than that of Exp-Noah-MP and Exp-PX assessed by Multivariable Integrated Evaluation (MVIE) method. To comprehensively understand the dynamic and physical mechanisms for the WRF model’s sensitivity to land surface schemes, the differences in the surface energy balance between Ave-CLM4-SSiB (the ensemble average of Exp-CLM4 and Exp-SSiB) and Ave-NoanMP-PX (the ensemble average of Exp-Noah-MP and Exp-PX) are analyzed in detail. The results demonstrate that the sensible and latent heat fluxes are respectively lower by 30.42 W·m −2 and higher by 14.86 W·m −2 in Ave-CLM4-SSiB than that in Ave-NoahMP-PX. As a result, large differences in geopotential height occur over the simulation domain. The simulated wind fields are subsequently influenced by the geostrophic adjustment process, thus the simulations of 2-m temperature, surface skin temperature and precipitation are respectively lower by about 2.08 ℃, 2.23 ℃ and 18.56 mm·month −1 in Ave-CLM4-SSiB than that in Ave-NoahMP-PX over Central Asia continent.

The Mid-Atlantic Bight Dissolved Inorganic Carbon System Observed in the March 1996 DOE Ocean Margins Program (OMP)—A Baseline Study - Ting-Hsuan Huang; Wei-Jun Cai; Penny Vlahos; Douglas W. R. Wallace; Ernie R. Lewis; Chen-Tung Arthur Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The United States Department of Energy (DOE)’s Ocean Margins Program (OMP) cruise EN279 in March 1996 provides an important baseline for assessing long-term changes in the carbon cycle and biogeochemistry in the Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB) as climate and anthropogenic changes have been substantial in this region over the past two decades. The distributions of O 2 , nutrients, and marine inorganic carbon system parameters are influenced by coastal currents, temperature gradients, and biological production and respiration. On the cross-shelf direction, pH decreases seaward, but carbonate saturation state (Ω Arag ) does not exhibit a clear trend. In contrast, Ω Arag increases from north to south, while pH has no clear spatial patterns in the along-shelf direction. In order to distinguish between the effects of physical mixing of various water masses and those of biological activities on the marine inorganic carbon system, we use the potential temperature-salinity diagram to identify water masses, and differences between observations and theoretical mixing concentrations to measure the non-conservative (primarily biological) effects. Our analysis clearly shows the degree to which ocean margin pH and Ω Arag are regulated by biological activities in addition to water mass mixing, gas exchange, and temperature. The correlations among anomalies in dissolved inorganic carbon, phosphate, nitrate, and apparent oxygen utilization agree with known biological stoichiometry. Biological uptake is substantial in nearshore waters and in shelf-slope mixing areas. This work provides valuable baseline information to assess the more recent changes in the marine inorganic carbon system and the status of coastal ocean acidification.

Supercooling capacity and cold tolerance of the South American tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta, a newly invaded pest in China - Xiao-wei Li; Dong Li; Zhi-jun Zhang; Jun Huang; Jin-ming Zhang; Muhammad Hafeez; Li-kun Wang; Wen-chao Guo; Yao-bin Lu (Journal of Pest Science, 2021)
Tuta absoluta is a devastating invasive pest worldwide, causing severe damage to the global tomato industry. It has been recorded recently in the northwestern border areas of China, posing a significant threat to tomato production. It was presumed that the region's winter-related low temperatures would avert the alien species from successfully overwintering. In this study, the supercooling capacity and low-temperature tolerance of this pest were examined under laboratory conditions and its overwintering potential in Xinjiang was estimated. The results showed that the lowest supercooling point was recorded in the adult stage (− 19.47 °C), while the highest (− 18.11 °C) was recorded in the pupal stage. The supercooling points of pupae and adults were not influenced by gender. The Ltemp 50 and Ltemp 90 of female and male adults were the lowest when exposed to cold for 2 h. However, when the duration of exposure extended from 4 to 10 h, the Ltemp 50 and Ltemp 90 of female and male pupae were the lowest. Comparison of the lowest Ltemp 50 and Ltemp 90 with temperatures in January indicated that T. absoluta might not be able to overwinter in most of the northern and central regions of Xinjiang. However, in the southern regions, the extremely low temperature was higher than the Ltemp 90 , suggesting that T. absoluta has a higher overwintering potential in these regions. These results form a basis for predicting the dispersal potential and possible geographic range of this pest in Xinjiang. In addition, our findings provide guidance for the control of this pest by reducing overwintering shelters.

Multi‐omics reveal the pathways involved in induced defensive colony formation of Tetradesmus obliquus in response to Daphnia grazing cues - Xuexia Zhu; Yunfei Sun; Lu Zhang; Jun Wang; Lei Gu; Yuan Huang; Zhou Yang (Limnology and Oceanography, 2021)
Inducible defenses occur in various taxa of prey organisms. Many phytoplankton species, including the freshwater Chlorophyta Tetradesmus spp., can form defensive morphs under the zooplankton‐released grazing cues. However, definite statements on the actual mechanisms of inducible defense in phytoplankton are quite deficient. In the present study, the defensive mechanism of Tetradesmus obliquus (formerly known as Scenedesmus obliquus ) induced by Daphnia infochemicals was analyzed through multifaceted analyses integrating physiological and biochemical monitoring, transcriptomics, and metabolomics. Results showed that the upregulated genes encoding G protein‐coupled receptor and phospholipase C were involved in the perception and transduction of grazing cues, and the transcripts related to extracellular polysaccharides formation and transductions were upregulated. The results provided molecular evidence for the role of extracellular polysaccharides in colony formation. Increased lipid content revealed through metabolomics suggested higher investment in lipid biosynthesis within colonial cells, whereas the downregulation of ribosome‐related pathways indicated less allocation of energy and resources to protein biosynthesis. The significant increase in indole‐3‐acetic acid content indicated that growth was activated under grazing cues. This study provided essential information on the inducible defensive mechanism of Tetradesmus and direct evidence for the intracellular reallocation of resources and energy owing to the defensive colony formation, which had considerable implications for enriching the theory of inducible defenses at the molecular level.

Climate and geological change as drivers of Mauritiinae palm biogeography - Giovanni Bogotá‐Ángel; Huasheng Huang; Phillip E. Jardine; Nicolas Chazot; Sonia Salamanca; Hannah Banks; Andres Pardo‐Trujillo; Angelo Plata; Hernando Dueñas; Wim Star; Rob Langelaan; Ali Eisawi; et al. (Journal of Biogeography, 2021)
Aim Forest composition and distribution are determined by a myriad of factors, including climate. As models of tropical rain forest, palms are often used as indicator taxa, particularly the Mauritiinae. We question, what characterizes the Mauritiinae pollen in the global fossil record? And when did the Mauritiinae become endemic to South America? Location Global tropics. Taxon Mauritiinae palms (Arecaceae: Lepidocaryeae). Methods Pollen trait data from extinct and extant Mauritiinae pollen were generated from light‐, scanning‐, and transmission electron microscopy. Statistical morphometric analysis was used to define species and their relationships to other Mauritiinae. We also compiled a comprehensive pollen database for extinct and extant Mauritiinae and mapped their global geographical distribution from Late Cretaceous to present, using GBIF and fossil data. Results Our morphometric analysis identified 18 species (11 extinct and seven extant), all exhibiting exine indentations, a synapomorphy of the subtribe. The fossil taxa and early divergent extant Lepidocaryum are all monosulcate, whereas the extant Mauritia and Mauritiella species are all monoulcerate. Paleobiogeographical maps of fossil Mauritiinae pollen occurrences suggest the taxon originated in equatorial Africa during the Cretaceous, and expanded their range to South America, and to India in the Paleocene. Range retraction started in the early Eocene with extirpation from India, and reduction in diversity in Africa culminating at the Eocene–Oligocene Transition (EOT). In contrast, in South America, the distribution is maintained, and since the Neogene Mauritiinae palms are mostly restricted to swampy, lowland habitats. Main conclusions Morphometric analysis shows that since their origin Mauritiinae pollen are relatively species poor, and Mauritiidites resembles Lepidocaryum . We also conclude that the biogeographical history of the Mauriitinae and, by extension, tropical forests was strongly affected by global climatic cooling events. In particular, the climate change at the EOT was a fundamental determinant of current tropical forest distribution.

Vital roles of soil microbes in driving terrestrial nitrogen immobilization - Zhaolei Li; Zhaoqi Zeng; Zhaopeng Song; Fuqiang Wang; Dashuan Tian; Wenhai Mi; Xin Huang; Jinsong Wang; Lei Song; Zhongkang Yang; Jun Wang; Haojie Feng; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Nitrogen immobilization usually leads to nitrogen retention in soil and, thus, influences soil nitrogen supply for plant growth. Understanding soil nitrogen immobilization is important for predicting soil nitrogen cycling under anthropogenic activities and climate changes. However, the global patterns and drivers of soil nitrogen immobilization remain unclear. We synthesized 1350 observations of gross soil nitrogen immobilization rate (NIR) from 97 articles to identify patterns and drivers of NIR. The global mean NIR was 8.77 ± 1.01 mg N kg −1 soil day −1 . It was 5.55 ± 0.41 mg N kg −1 soil day −1 in croplands, 15.74 ± 3.02 mg N kg −1 soil day −1 in wetlands, and 15.26 ± 2.98 mg N kg −1 soil day −1 in forests. The NIR increased with mean annual temperature, precipitation, soil moisture, soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, dissolved organic nitrogen, ammonium, nitrate, phosphorus, and microbial biomass carbon. But it decreased with soil pH. The results of structural equation models showed that soil microbial biomass carbon was a pivotal driver of NIR, because temperature, total soil nitrogen, and soil pH mostly indirectly influenced NIR via changing soil microbial biomass. Moreover, microbial biomass carbon accounted for most of the variations in NIR among all direct relationships. Furthermore, the efficiency of transforming the immobilized nitrogen to microbial biomass nitrogen was lower in croplands than in natural ecosystems (i.e., forests, grasslands, and wetlands). These findings suggested that soil nitrogen retention may decrease under the land use change from forests or wetlands to croplands, but NIR was expected to increase due to increased microbial biomass under global warming. The identified patterns and drivers of soil nitrogen immobilization in this study are crucial to project the changes in soil nitrogen retention.

Seasonal Mixing and Biological Controls of the Carbonate System in a River-Dominated Continental Shelf Subject to Eutrophication and Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico - Wei-Jen Huang; Wei-Jun Cai; Xinping Hu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Large rivers export a large amount of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and nutrients to continental shelves; and subsequent river-to-sea mixing, eutrophication, and seasonal hypoxia (dissolved oxygen < 2 mg⋅L –1 ) can further modify DIC and nutrient distributions and fluxes. However, quantitative studies of seasonal carbonate variations on shelves are still insufficient. We collected total alkalinity (TA), DIC, and NO 3 – data from nine cruises conducted between 2006 and 2010 on the northern Gulf of Mexico continental shelf, an area strongly influenced by the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers. We applied a three-end-member model (based on salinity and potential alkalinity) to our data to remove the contribution of physical mixing to DIC and nitrate distribution patterns and to derive the net in situ removal of DIC and nitrate (ΔDIC and ΔNO 3 – , respectively). Systematic analyses demonstrated that the seasonal net DIC removal in the near-surface water was strong during summer and weak in winter. The peak in net DIC production in the near-bottom, subsurface waters of the inner and middle sections of the shelf occurred between July and September; it was coupled, but with a time lag, to the peak in the net DIC removal that occurred in the near-surface waters in June. A similar 2-month delay (i.e., January vs. November) could also be observed between their minima. A detailed examination of the relationship between ΔDIC and ΔNO 3 – demonstrates that net biological activity was the dominant factor of DIC removal and addition. Other effects, such as air–sea CO 2 gas exchange, wetland exports, CaCO 3 precipitation, and a regional variation of the Redfield ratio, were relatively minor. We suggest that the delayed coupling between eutrophic surface and hypoxic bottom waters reported here may also be seen in the carbon and nutrient cycles of other nutrient-rich, river-dominated ocean margins worldwide.

Climate and Human-Driven Variability of Summer Hypoxia on a Large River-Dominated Shelf as Revealed by a Hypoxia Index - Kui Wang; Wei-Jun Cai; Jianfang Chen; David Kirchman; Bin Wang; Wei Fan; Daji Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Coastal hypoxia has become common especially in large river dominated coastal ecosystems. To better quantify the severity of hypoxia and the contribution of hypoxia drivers, we applied principal component analysis (PCA) on observable properties from eight summer hypoxia events in the East China Sea and defined the first principal component as the hypoxia index (HI). Multiple linear regression showed that the HI significantly correlated with three direct hypoxia drivers including water column stratification, subsurface water residence time, and respiration rates, which accounted for 5.7, 55.3, and 34.5%, respectively, of the total variance of PCA derived HI. We further reconstructed the HI over the past 60 years using available long-term data of stratification, model-derived residence times and respiration rates. The results show that summer hypoxia has become more severe since the 1960s. ENSO and global warming may have exacerbated hypoxia by affecting the river discharge, resulting in freshening in the plume-impacted shelf area, while anthropogenic activities may have exacerbated hypoxia by elevating fluvial nutrient concentrations, resulting in higher respiration rates. In addition, warming of the bottom water from the Kuroshio Current accounts for an additional increasing rate for HI, which made hypoxia more severe by means of decreasing oxygen solubility. Overall, our results indicate that stratification, water residence and oxygen solubility resulting from climate change can explain about 80% while higher respiration resulting from higher nutrient inputs can explain about 20% of the variation in the severity of hypoxia during the past half century.

Characterization of NMCR ‐2, a new non‐mobile colistin resistance enzyme: implications for an MCR ‐8 ancestor - Saif Ullah; Kai Ji; Jun Li; Yongchang Xu; Chengjian Jiang; Huimin Zhang; Man Huang; Youjun Feng (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary MCR‐4 and MCR‐8 are two recently identified members of an ongoing MCR family of colistin resistance. Although that aquatic reservoir for MCR‐4 is proposed, the origin and mechanism of MCR‐8 is poorly understood. Here we report a previously unrecognized non‐mobile colistin resistance enzyme, termed NMCR‐2, originating from the plant pathogen Kosakonia pseudosacchari . NMCR‐2 (551aa) gives 67.3% identity to MCR‐8 (565aa). NMCR‐2 is placed as a progenitor/ancestor for MCR‐8 in phylogeny of MCR members. Genetic study reveals that nmcr‐2 is comparable to mcr‐8 in the ability of producing phenotypic colistin resistance. Biochemical analyses determine that these two enzymes catalyse the transfer of PEA from the donor PE lipid substrate to the recipient lipid A molecule by a putative ‘ping‐pong’ trade‐off. Further experiment of protein engineering demonstrates that the two motifs (TM region and catalytic domain) of NMCR‐2 are functionally exchangeable with that of MCR‐8, rather than MCR‐1. Physiological impacts of nmcr‐2 and/or mcr‐8 are detected in Escherichia coli , featuring with fitness cost. Evidently, the action and mechanism of NMCR‐2 is analogous to that of MCR‐8. Therefore, our finding underlines that NMCR‐2 might be a possible progenitor of MCR‐8.

Observed trends of different rainfall intensities and the associated spatiotemporal variations during 1958–2016 in Guangxi , China - Nian Xiu Qin; Jun Neng Wang; Liang Gao; Yang Hong; Jia Li Huang; Qin Qin Lu (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
In a changing climate, drought and flood hazards become more frequent, posing high risks to human life and property. The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is selected as the study area. The flood and drought records, and the daily precipitation data at 23 stations from 1958 to 2016 are adopted. The temporal and spatial trends of precipitation intensities, precipitation days and the corresponding proportions relative to the total amounts are examined using the Mann‐Kendall trend test. The influence of the rainfall intensity on floods and droughts in Guangxi is also investigated. During the past 59 years in Guangxi, there is a significant decrease in light rain, and an increase in rainstorm in general. The larger the rainfall intensity is, the more stations show increasing trends of the corresponding rain events on different time scales (the monthly, seasonal or annual scale). Significant decreasing trends of the number of days with light precipitation are found over entire Guangxi, while increasing trends of the number of days with rainstorm events are widely distributed in most parts of Guangxi. There is a decrease in the number of stations indicating increases in proportion of light precipitation days, while an increase in the number of stations showing increases in proportion of rainstorm days. A significant increase in flood hazards is detected since the 1990s. The precipitation in Guangxi tends to be intensified in the future. The frequency and intensity of drought and flood events are very likely to increase, posing challenges to future agricultural production, water resources planning and management.
