A new species of the genus Catillopecten (Bivalvia: Pectinoidea: Propeamussiidae): morphology, mitochondrial genome, and phylogenetic relationship - Yi-Tao Lin; Yi-Xuan Li; Yanan Sun; Jun Tao; Jian-Wen Qiu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Catillopecten is a small genus of deep-sea glass scallops, but its diversity is poorly known in many parts of the world ocean. We described C. margaritatus n. sp. (Pectinoidea: Propeamussiidae), and performed morphological analyses and DNA sequencing, and estimated the divergence time of scallops based on samples collected from Haima cold seep in the South China Sea. Morphologically, the new species can be distinguished from congeneric species by its large shell size, relatively small auricle length, absence of monocrystal aerials, presence of longitudinal radial ridges on the left valve, and the alternated rounded striae and distal and proximal growth lines of prisms on the right valve. Anatomically, this new species can be distinguished from C. vulcani by its anteriorly located auriculate gills, compared to the centrally located lamellar gills of the latter, and the different locations of the pericardium. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis based on the 18S rRNA fragments supported the placement of the new species in Catillopecten . We also report the mitogenome of C. margaritatus n. sp. as the only reported mitogenome of the family Propeamussiidae, which differs from those of other scallops substantially in gene order arrangement. Divergence time estimation revealed that Propeamussiidae and Pectinidae diverged in the early Carboniferous, while Catillopecten and Parvamussium diverged during the late Cretaceous to early Eocene. Finally, we presented a key to the species of Catillopecten .

Designing Protograph LDPC Codes for Differential Chaotic Bit-Interleaved Coded Modulation System for Underwater Acoustic Communications - Zhiping Xu; Qiwang Chen; Yang Li; Guofa Cai; Lixiong Lin; Jiachun Zheng; Yanglong Sun (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Underwater acoustic (UWA) communications face many challenges, such as large multipath delay, severe fading and the time-varying distortions. Chaotic modulations have shown advantages in UWA communications, but the reliability of current chaotic modulations is still not guaranteed. In this paper, a short-length protograph low-density parity-check (P-LDPC) code design framework for the differential chaotic bit-interleaved coded modulation (DC-BICM) system for UWA communication is proposed. This design framework, considering the requirements of short codes in UWA communications, integrates the DC-BICM system, UWA channel and the differential evolutionary code searching algorithm. Through this design framework, the optimized short P-LDPC code can be obtained. Simulation results show that the DC-BICM system with the proposed P-LDPC code can obtain more than 0.48 dB coding gain and reduce 32.6%~69.5% of the average number of iterations compared with the counterparts. Moreover, the reconstructed underwater image with the proposed P-LDPC code is clearest with the highest peak-signal-noise ratio value when compared with counterparts.

Prevalence and distribution of antibiotic resistance in the water environment of sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) breeding area in spring in South China - Ziyang Lin; Yiqin Deng; Wenxiao Su; Qian Wang; Haoxiang Chen; Yun Sun; Juan Feng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Antibiotic resistance represents a global health crisis for humans, animals, and the environment. However, few studies address the abundance and distribution of the environmental bacterial antibiotic resistance associated with farmed fish during the early breeding stages and their relationship with aquaculture environment. In this study, culture-dependent methods and gene chip technology were respectively used to identify and detect cultivable heterotrophic antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) of water samples from 20 sea bass-rearing ponds in spring in Zhuhai, China. Meanwhile, the relationships among ARGs, ARB, and water nutrients were elucidated. The results showed that bacterial resistance to erythromycin and sulfamethoxazole with trimethoprim was generally high (mean 48.15% and 18.07%, respectively), whereas resistance to rifampicin, florfenicol, ciprofloxacin, and enrofloxacin was generally low (mean 5.46%, 2.16%, 1.43%, and 0.16%, respectively). Acinetobacter sp. (42.31%) and Pseudomonas sp. (25.74%) were the dominant ARB, and most cultivable ARB were opportunistic pathogens. The abundance of sul family genes was higher than that of other tested ARGs. ARGs and ARB were mainly affected by NO3– and PO43–, with PO43– generally positively correlated, whereas NO3– was negatively correlated, with ARGs and ARB. Thus, recommendations for the control of antibiotic resistance risk can be made by understanding the resistance profile of the aquaculture environment.

Excessive iodine induces thyroid follicular epithelial cells apoptosis by activating HIF-1α-mediated hypoxia pathway in Hashimoto thyroiditis - Lili Zhang; Xiaojing Sun; Lin Liu; Ping Wang; Linxue Qian (Molecular Biology Reports, 2023)
Background Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) is considered the most common autoimmune thyroid disease. A growing body of evidence suggests that HT incidence correlates with excessive iodine intake. We should probe the effects of excessive iodine intake in HT development and its possible mechanism. Methods and results The study recruited 20 patients: 10 with HT and 10 with nodular goiter. We detected the expression of an apoptosis-related protein caspase-3 by immunohistochemistry. In vitro study, we explored the proliferation and apoptosis status in thyroid follicular cells (TFCs) stimulated with different iodine concentrations by MTT and flow cytometry. Then we performed RNA sequence analysis of Nthy-ori3-1 cells treated for 48 h with KI to probe the underlying mechanism. Finally, we used RT-PCR and siRNA interference to verify the results. We identified apoptosis in thyroid tissue obtained from HT patients coincides with the increase of caspase-3 levels. In vitro study, iodine suppressed proliferation of TFCs and promoted TFCs apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner with regulating caspase-3 activation. HIF-1α-NDRG1 mediated hypoxia pathway activation promoted the transmission of essential apoptosis signals in TFCs. Conclusion Our study confirmed that excessive iodine adsorption activates the HIF-1α-mediated hypoxia pathway to promote apoptosis of TFCs, which may be an important risk factor contributing to HT development.

Submarine groundwater discharge in Dongshan Bay, China: A master regulator of nutrients in spring and potential national significance of small bays - Yafei Sun; Guizhi Wang; Yubin Weng; Qing Li; Fei Zhang; Weizhen Jiang; Guiyuan Dai; Wen Lin; Shengyao Sun; Yiyong Jiang; Yuanjing Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Despite over 90% of China’s coastal bays have an area less than 500 km 2 , the geochemical effects of SGD on those ecosystems are ambiguous. Based on mapping and time-series observations of Ra isotopes and nutrients, a case study of small bays (<500 km 2 ), we revealed that submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) predominately regulated the distribution of nutrients and fueled algal growth in Dongshan Bay, China. On the bay-wide scale, the SGD rate was estimated to be 0.048 ± 0.022 m day −1 and contributed over 95% of the nutrients. At the time-series site where the bay-wide highest Ra activities in the bottom water marked an SGD hotspot with an average rate an order of magnitude greater, the maximum chlorophyll concentration co-occurred, suggesting that SGD may support the algal bloom. The ever-most significant positive correlations between 228 Ra and nutrients throughout the water column (P< 0.01, R 2 > 0.90 except for soluble reactive phosphorus in the surface) suggested the predominance of SGD in controlling nutrient distribution in the bay. Extrapolated to a national scale, the SGD-carried dissolved inorganic nitrogen flux in small bays was twice as much as those in large bays (>2,000 km 2 ). Thus, the SGD-carried nutrients in small bays merit immediate attention in environmental monitoring and management.

Moderate relative size of covered and non-covered structures of artificial reef enhances the sheltering effect on reef fish - Yue Zhang; Tao Sun; Gang Ding; Daode Yu; Wei Yang; Qianzhao Sun; Xiaoling Wang; Haiying Lin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Identifying the relationship between fish aggregations and artificial reefs (ARs) is important for optimizing reef structures and protecting marine resources subjected to external disturbance. Yet, knowledge remains limited of how the distribution of fish is affected by shelter availability provided by different AR structures. Here, we tested the effects of two structural attributes on the distribution of a benthic juvenile reef fish (fat greenling, Hexagrammos otakii ). We used a laboratory mesocosm experiment with a simplified reef unit that was made of covered structure and non-covered structure. The covered structure was defined as the area inside ARs that provided effective shelter. The non-covered structure was defined as the area along the edge of ARs, which attracts fish but has lower sheltering effects. Four scenarios of two orthogonal structural attributes contained in a reef unit were implemented: size of covered structure (small shelter versus large shelter) and size of non-covered structure (small edge versus large edge), forming three size ratios of shelters to edges (low, medium, and high). The sheltering effects of the four scenarios were evaluated based on changes to the distribution patterns of fish under disturbance. We found that the reef with a large shelter had a better sheltering effect than the reef with a small shelter, but was limited by its small edge, especially when fish density was high. In contrast, the sheltering effect of the reef with a small shelter was limited by its large edge compared to the small edge. Thus, a moderate shelter-edge ratio enhanced the ability of juvenile fat greenling to elude external disturbance. Our findings highlight the importance of quantifying how the structural composition of reefs affects fish distributions, providing guidance to optimize AR structures.

Underwater Target Detection Based on Improved YOLOv7 - Kaiyue Liu; Qi Sun; Daming Sun; Lin Peng; Mengduo Yang; Nizhuan Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Underwater target detection is a crucial aspect of ocean exploration. However, conventional underwater target detection methods face several challenges such as inaccurate feature extraction, slow detection speed, and lack of robustness in complex underwater environments. To address these limitations, this study proposes an improved YOLOv7 network (YOLOv7-AC) for underwater target detection. The proposed network utilizes an ACmixBlock module to replace the 3 × 3 convolution block in the E-ELAN structure, and incorporates jump connections and 1 × 1 convolution architecture between ACmixBlock modules to improve feature extraction and network reasoning speed. Additionally, a ResNet-ACmix module is designed to avoid feature information loss and reduce computation, while a Global Attention Mechanism (GAM) is inserted in the backbone and head parts of the model to improve feature extraction. Furthermore, the K-means++ algorithm is used instead of K-means to obtain anchor boxes and enhance model accuracy. Experimental results show that the improved YOLOv7 network outperforms the original YOLOv7 model and other popular underwater target detection methods. The proposed network achieved a mean average precision (mAP) value of 89.6% and 97.4% on the URPC dataset and Brackish dataset, respectively, and demonstrated a higher frame per second (FPS) compared to the original YOLOv7 model. In conclusion, the improved YOLOv7 network proposed in this study represents a promising solution for underwater target detection and holds great potential for practical applications in various underwater tasks.

Succession and controlling factors of phytoplankton assemblages during a period with recurrent outbreaks of Phaeocystis globosa blooms in Qinzhou Bay, China - Xianling Qin; Xianyun Chen; Changping Chen; Lin Sun; Xinying Su; Junrong Liang; Bo Chen; Yahui Gao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Qinzhou Bay is a tropical semiclosed bay with the highest phytoplankton diversity and a high frequency of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the Guangxi coastal area, located north of the Beibu Gulf. Phaeocystis globosa is a typical HAB species in the Guangxi coastal area, and blooms mainly occur in autumn and winter. The causes of these blooms and the succession of phytoplankton assemblages related to the blooms are complicated and not fully understood. Therefore, a continuous survey was conducted monthly from October 2018 to March 2019 to study the succession of the phytoplankton community in Qinzhou Bay and its relationship with environmental variables in this area. The results revealed that the dynamics of the phytoplankton assemblages varied significantly with time, and P. globosa was the most frequent dominant species in five of these voyages, with the highest cell density of 3.79 ± 1.34 × 10 6 cells/L in January. Chaetoceros species had a high density and were a dominant species associated with P. globosa in the early stage, while they were replaced by Guinardia striata when the density of P. globosa increased rapidly in January, and the abundance of dinoflagellates increased after the decline in P. globosa . The diversity index indicated that the community structure was more stable from October to December, while the sharp increase in P. globosa in January caused a decline in phytoplankton diversity. The redundancy analysis (RDA) results revealed that the phytoplankton community structure and its variation were mainly affected by hydrological and chemical factors, including DIN/DIP, temperature, DSi, DIP and DSi/DIP. Furthermore, we inferred that phosphorus (P) was the key factor limiting the colony formation of P. globosa , and P limitation prevented the outbreak of blooms. This research may provide more insight into the mechanisms driving and prevention of P. globosa blooms.

Evaluating historic and modern optical techniques for monitoring phytoplankton biomass in the Atlantic Ocean - Robert J. W. Brewin; Jaime Pitarch; Giorgio Dall’Olmo; Hendrik J. van der Woerd; Junfang Lin; Xuerong Sun; Gavin H. Tilstone (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Traditional measurements of the Secchi depth ( z SD ) and Forel-Ule colour were collected alongside modern radiometric measurements of ocean clarity and colour, and in-situ measurements of chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a), on four Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) cruises. These data were used to evaluate historic and modern optical techniques for monitoring Chl-a, and to evaluate remote-sensing algorithms. Historic and modern optical measurements were broadly consistent with current understanding, with Secchi depth inversely related to Forel-Ule colour and to beam and diffuse attenuation, positively related to the ratio of blue to green remote-sensing reflectance and euphotic depth. The relationship between Secchi depth and Forel-Ule on AMT was found to be in closer agreement to historical relationships when using data of the Forel-Ule colour of infinite depth, rather than the Forel-Ule colour of the water above the Secchi disk at half z SD . Over the range of 0.03-2.95 mg m -3 , Chl-a was tightly correlated with these optical variables, with the ratio of blue to green remote-sensing reflectance explaining the highest amount of variance in Chl-a (89%), closely followed by the Secchi depth (85%) and Forel-Ule colour (71-81%, depending on the scale used). Existing algorithms that predict Chl-a from these variables were evaluated, and found to perform well, albeit with some systematic differences. Remote sensing algorithms of Secchi depth were in good agreement with in-situ data over the range of values collected (8.5 - 51.8 m, r 2 >0.77, unbiased root mean square differences around 4.5 m), but with a slight positive bias (2.0 - 5.4 m). Remote sensing algorithms of Forel-Ule agreed well with Forel-Ule colour data of infinite water ( r 2 >0.68, mean differences <1). We investigated the impact of environmental conditions and found wind speed to impact the estimation of z SD , and propose a path forward to include the effect of wind in current Secchi depth theory.

Distribution and physical–biological controls of dimethylsulfide in the western tropical Indian Ocean during winter monsoon - Shi-Mei Liang; Xing Zhai; Cheng-Xuan Li; Ming Xin; Ping Sun; Xuan-Li Liu; Lin Liu; Bao-Dong Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
New field observation on distribution, turnover, and sea–air flux of three dimethylated sulfur compounds (dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethylsulfoniopropionate, and dimethylsulfoxide) in the western tropical Indian Ocean (WTIO; 4°N–10°S, 61°–65°E) were conducted under the major Global Change and Air–Sea Interaction Program during the 2021/2022 Northeast Monsoon (December 21, 2021 to January 11, 2022). Significantly high surface concentrations of DMS were identified in the region of the Seychelles–Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR; 5°–10°S). This occurred because the shallow thermocline/nitracline and associated upwelling fueled biological production of DMS in the subsurface, which was brought to the surface through vertical mixing. The calculated sea–air DMS flux was also significantly strong in the SCTR region during the Northeast Monsoon owing to combination of high wind speed and high surface concentration of DMS. This finding is similar to results obtained previously during the Southwest Monsoon, suggesting that the SCTR region is an area of active DMS emission during both the Northeast Monsoon and the Southwest Monsoon. Microbial consumption was the dominant pathway of DMS removal, accounting for 74.4% of the total, whereas the processes of photolysis (17.7%) and ventilation (7.9%) were less important. Future work should be undertaken in the WTIO to establish how DMS emission is linked to aerosol properties and climate change.

Rapid shifts in thermal reaction norms and tolerance of brooded coral larvae following parental heat acclimation - Lei Jiang; Cheng‐Yue Liu; Guoxin Cui; Lin‐Tao Huang; Xiao‐Lei Yu; You‐Fang Sun; Hao‐Ya Tong; Guo‐Wei Zhou; Xiang‐Cheng Yuan; Yi‐Si Hu; Wen‐Liang Zhou; Manuel Aranda; et al. (Molecular Ecology, 2023)
Thermal priming of reef corals can enhance their heat tolerance; however, the legacy effects of heat stress during parental brooding on larval resilience remain understudied. This study investigated whether preconditioning adult coral Pocillopora damicornis to high temperatures (29°C and 32°C) could better prepare their larvae for heat stress. Results showed that heat‐acclimated adults brooded larvae with reduced symbiont density and shifted thermal performance curves. Reciprocal transplant experiments demonstrated higher bleaching resistance and better photosynthetic and autotrophic performance in heat‐exposed larvae from acclimated adults compared to unacclimated adults. RNA‐seq revealed strong cellular stress responses in larvae from heat‐acclimated adults that could have been effective in rescuing host cells from stress, as evidenced by the widespread upregulation of genes involved in cell cycle and mitosis. For symbionts, a molecular coordination between light harvesting, photoprotection and carbon fixation was detected in larvae from heat‐acclimated adults, which may help optimize photosynthetic activity and yield under high temperature. Furthermore, heat acclimation led to opposing regulations of symbiont catabolic and anabolic pathways and favoured nutrient translocation to the host and thus a functional symbiosis. Notwithstanding, the improved heat tolerance was paralleled by reduced light‐enhanced dark respiration, indicating metabolic depression for energy saving. Our findings suggest that adult heat acclimation can rapidly shift thermal tolerance of brooded coral larvae and provide integrated physiological and molecular evidence for this adaptive plasticity, which could increase climate resilience. However, the metabolic depression may be maladaptive for long‐term organismal performance, highlighting the importance of curbing carbon emissions to better protect corals.

Evaluation of policy synergy in coastal ocean pollution prevention and control: The case from China - Chengyan Yao; Mengge Sun; Lin Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
In recent years, the Chinese central government and coastal provincial governments have promulgated a series of Coastal Ocean Pollution Prevention and Control Programs (COPPCP). Whether the government’s COPPCP can achieve policy synergy will affect the level of marine pollution governance. This study constructs a two-dimensional assessment framework of policy “subject department”–”content theme” and conducts a comprehensive evolution of policy synergy from objective, process, and state perspectives. From the subject department dimension, the study used social network analysis to find that interdepartmental collaboration was not done well overall. The policy synergy process is difficult to be guaranteed. Meanwhile, the structure of departmental synergy networks in different provinces shows differences and can be divided into three types of governments with single-core, multi-core, and vertical synergy. In the content synergy dimension, it was found by the Chinese Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers-Whole Word Masking (BERT-WWM) model that the policy content is mainly focused on four themes of marine ecological protection (MEP), marine pollution control (MPC), land-based pollution reduction (LPR), and safeguard measures (SAM). The three types of governments show different performances on the four theme synergies. The governments perform well in the objective synergy; however, it is difficult for them to agree on the policy tool synergy, and the status of policy synergy is difficult to maintain. This paper adopts the BERT-WWM model instead of the manual coding method in the previous policy content analysis, enhancing the evaluation’s objectivity. The study results will provide a reference for further improving marine pollution governance systems in developing countries.

Provenance and paleoenvironmental significance of sediments in the Beipo seamount of the northern South China Sea during the last deglaciation - Xu Tian; Xilin Zhang; Jinli Wang; Zhilei Sun; Ming Liu; Jinhuan Zhao; Lin Zhang; Dejiang Fan; Fangjian Xu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The sedimentary processes of seamount regions are closely related to climate change and ocean evolution. The clay minerals, grain size and 14 C ages of core SCS18-1, which was collected from the Beipo seamount in the northern South China Sea (SCS) were analyzed to discuss the provenance and paleoenvironmental conditions during the last deglaciation. The sediments of core SCS18-1 are dominated by clayey silt, which is mainly composed of illite (55.2~62.1%) and chlorite (17.1~22.5%), with subordinate kaolinite (9.5~12.6%) and smectite (7.3~15.1%). The illite chemical index and illite crystallinity indicate strong physical weathering conditions. The results of the end-member modeling algorithm (EMMA) suggest that the sediments of core SCS18-1 consist of three end-members containing EM1 (0.98 μm), EM2 (9.29 μm) and EM3 (44.19 μm), with average contents of 3%, 66% and 31%, respectively. The finest endmember represents fluvial mud, the middle and coarsest endmembers are considered fluvial fine silt and eolian dust, respectively. The mean grain size is mainly controlled by the coarser fraction EM3. Based on the clay minerals, grain size and SEM analysis, we can conclude that since the onset of the last deglaciation (16.1 ka BP), the sediments of core SCS18-1 mainly originate from fluvial input, and eolian material also contributed to the sediments. The clay mineral assemblages of core SCS18-1 are stable and originate mainly from Taiwan. Additionally, the Pearl River appears to be a secondary contributor of clay minerals. Further, the Luzon Islands only account for a small proportion. Major kaolinite and moderate illite and chlorite are thought to originate from the Pearl River, predominant illite and chlorite from Taiwan, and principal smectite from the Luzon Islands. Both the relative content of EM1+ EM2 and the illite chemical index effectively represent the variation of East Asia summer monsoon (EASM) strength. Meanwhile, the relative content of EM3 effectively represents the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) change. The material supply of core SCS18-1 is mainly controlled by solar radiation in the Northern Hemisphere.

Sailboat Test Arena (STAr): A Remotely Accessible Platform for Robotic Sailboat Research - Qinbo Sun; Weimin Qi; Cheng Liang; Bairun Lin; Francesco Maurelli; Huihuan Qian (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Autonomous sailing robots have attracted much attention, but challenges arise due to the sailing tests require an environment with both aerodynamic and hydrodynamic fields and a sufficient number of sailing robots in readiness. A remotely accessible platform with the advantages of low cost, easy operation and high efficiency is the preferred method to solve this dilemma. Consistent with this goal is the design of Sailboat Test Arena (STAr), a remotely accessible platform for sailing robot design verification, autonomous algorithms validation and sailing control practices. All three parts require extensive testing in real water environments. Hereby, for testers around the world, STAr can be accessed without time difference. A variety of local and remote tests have been conducted in the STAr platform at various location around the world. The results show that STAr is a remotely accessible and effective tool in data collection and skill transfer. With continuous adoption and optimization, STAr will continue to serve as a tool to further promote low-cost, high-efficiency and diverse sailing research, and provide opportunities for more people to experience sailing.

Massive nutrients offshore transport off the Changjiang Estuary in flooding summer of 2020 - Qianwen Sun; Dewang Li; Bin Wang; Zhongsheng Xu; Yanyi Miao; Hua Lin; Haiyan Jin; Zhibing Jiang; Jiangning Zeng; Feng Zhou; Jianfang Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Flood events significantly increase water discharges and terrigenous material inputs to coastal waters. Riverine nutrients in the Changjiang Estuary are transported by the dispersion of Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW) plumes and detached low-salinity water patches. However, the effects of flooding on nutrient offshore transports have not been well explored. Here, we present the nutrient conditions in the Changjiang Estuary and adjacent East China Sea in the historical flooding year 2020. Comparisons of nutrient distributions between flooding years, drought year and non-flooding years were also made. Our results showed that nitrate flux from the Changjiang River in August 2020 was 1.5 times that of the multi-year averaged flux in non-flooding years. Enormous riverine nutrient input resulted in much higher nutrient concentrations in the outer estuary than those in non-flooding years. In addition, a detached low-salinity water patch was observed, which made the salinity of the northern estuary even lower than that in the historical flooding year 1998. Surface dissolved inorganic nitrate (DIN) level in the low-salinity water patch was even ~16 times of that at nearby station in the drought year 2006. While phosphate (PO 4 3− ) concentrations were less than 0.1 μmol L −1 east of 123°E, which was probably caused by intensive biological uptake, as indicated by a high Chlorophyll a (Chl a ) concentration (29.08 μg L −1 ). The depleted PO 4 3− and high N/P of the low-salinity water patch suggested PO 4 3− limitation even under flood conditions. A three end-member mixing model was adopted to identify the contributions of the CDW end-member (CDW end-member ) and biological process to nutrient distributions. Our model results showed that the nutrient contribution of the CDW end-member to the estuary (122–124°E, 31–32.5°N) in flooding year 2020 was over double that in drought year 2006. Model-derived biological DIN uptake was as high as 24.65 μmol L −1 at the low-salinity water patch. Accordingly, the estimated net community production was 566–1131 mg C m −2 d −1 within the euphotic zone. The offshore transport of a low-salinity, high-DIN water patch during flooding could probably have a significant influence on biogeochemical cycles in the broad shelf, and even the adjacent Japan Sea.

Halorarius litoreus gen. nov., sp. nov., Halorarius halobius sp. nov., Haloglomus halophilum sp. nov., Haloglomus salinum sp. nov., and Natronomonas marina sp. nov., extremely halophilic archaea isolated from tidal flat and marine solar salt - Ya-Ping Sun; Bei-Bei Wang; Zhang-Ping Wu; Xi-Wen Zheng; Jing Hou; Heng-Lin Cui (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Five novel halophilic archaeal strains, named BND22 T , ZY10 T , ZY41 T , ZY58 T , and ZY43 T , were isolated from the coastal saline sediment of the intertidal zone located in Qingdao and the natural sea salt produced from Huanghua marine solar saltern, PRChina. These five strains demonstrated the typical morphology and growth characteristics of haloarchaea. The comparison of 16S rRNA gene revealed that strain BDN22 T was associated with Salinirubellus salinus ZS-35-S2 T (95.2% similarity), strain ZY10 T was related to Halosegnis rubeus F17-44 T (95.1% similarity), both strains ZY41 T and ZY58 T were closely related to Haloglomus irregulare F16-60 T (98.1% and 98.2% similarities, respectively), and strain ZY43 T was close to Natronomonas salina YPL13 T (98.0% similarity). In addition to the 16S rRNA gene, the rpoB′ gene is undoubtedly another important molecular marker for the identification of halophilic archaea, and concatenated-conserved-protein phylogeny was widely used in archaeal classification in recent years. Phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses based on rpoB′ genes and 122 concatenated archaeal protein genes showed that these haloarchaea construct three different clades and gathered together with the current members of Haloarculaceae . Strains BND22 T and ZY10 T formed two distinct clades separated from Salinirubellus salinus ZS-35-S2 T and Halosegnis members, strains ZY41 T and ZY58 T clustered with Haloglomus irregulare F16-60 T , and strain ZY43 T gathered with the current members of Natronomonas. The ANI, DDH, and AAI values of these five strains against phylogenetic neighbours were no more than 91%, 45%, and 92%, respectively, far below the cut-off values for species delineation, supporting their placements in new taxa. Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic, and phylogenomic properties, these five strains represent five novel taxa of the family Haloarculaceae , Halorarius litoreus gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain BND22 T = CGMCC 1.18780 T = JCM 34966 T ), Halorarius halobius sp. nov. (type strain ZY10 T = CGMCC 1.17475 T = JCM 34319 T ), Haloglomus halophilum sp. nov. (type strain ZY41 T = CGMCC 1.17030 T = JCM 34161 T ), Haloglomus salinum sp. nov. (type strain ZY58 T = CGMCC 1.17216 T = JCM 34163 T ), and Natronomonas marina sp. nov. (type strain ZY43 T = CGMCC 1.17202 T = JCM 34162 T ). This is the first report of description of a novel haloarchaeon isolated from a marine intertidal zone.

Subsurface oxygen minima regulated by remineralization and bottom flushing along 123°E in the inner East China Sea - Bin Wang; Jianfang Chen; Haiyan Jin; Dewang Li; Shengquan Gao; Shichao Tian; Lin Sun; Haizhou Zhang; Linwei Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The summer hypoxia off the Changjiang Estuary is one of the largest coastal hypoxic systems in the world and has displayed spatial heterogeneity in recent years. Based on observation data in the summer of 2014, hypoxia was identified both in the bottom and mid-layers. Except for the typical bottom hypoxia in the submarine canyon, the subsurface oxygen minima (SOM) were captured in the mid-layer of 10~15 m, with lower dissolved oxygen in the mid-layer than at the bottom (30–50 m). This SOM phenomenon was located in the lower boundary of the pycnocline and above the Taiwan warm current (TWC) and Kuroshio subsurface water (KSSW). Due to the southern expansion of Changjiang diluted water (CDW), a high phytoplankton biomass (the maximum chlorophyll a of 25 μg L −1 , pH of 8.6, and DO of 11 mg L −1 ) band occupied the surface area along 123°E. By analyzing the 24-h continuous observation and high-resolution profile data, we revealed that the subsurface oxygen minima were predominantly controlled by remineralization and bottom-flushing effects. Fast local consumption occurred near the pycnocline layer, while the lateral transport of oxygen-rich ambient water replenished the bottom oxygen deficit from south to north. We summarize and contextualize three hot spots of hypoxia into a conceptual diagram and emphasize the influences of advection, mixing, and respiration on their location and severity. Overall, compared with the discussion about the low DO background of TWC/KSSW, this research highlights the flushing effects of TWC/KSSW that will reshape the hypoxia structure and alleviate the hypoxia severity in the south hypoxia area off the Changjiang Estuary.

Nitrogen mineralization and immobilization in surface sediments of coastal reclaimed aquaculture ecosystems - Xianbiao Lin; Genmei Lin; Yijie Zheng; Wenjing Li; Peng Guo; Shiyuan Fan; Tiantian Kong; Dongfan Tian; Dongyao Sun; Zhuo Shen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Sediment nitrogen (N) mineralization and immobilization are two crucial processes driven by microorganisms, which may play significant roles in the regulation of water quality in aquaculture ecosystems. However, limited information is available about the quantitative importance of sedimentary N mineralization and immobilization in coastal aquaculture systems. Here, a combination of incubation experiments with a 15 N isotope dilution technique were employed, aiming to quantify N mineralization and immobilization processes in surface sediments (0–5 cm) of three types of aquaculture ecosystems (seabass, white shrimp, and green crab ponds) reclaimed within the western bank of the Pearl River Estuary. Our results showed that no significant difference in sediment N mineralization and immobilization rates, microbial abundances, and organic matter among different aquaculture types on small-scale range. Meanwhile, prolonged pond-drying significant reduced sediment N mineralization and immobilization rates, bacterial abundances, organic matter, moisture content, ferrous ion (Fe 2+ ), Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ , and ammonium (NH 4 + ), while not strongly altered sediment percentage of NH 4 + mineralized per day (PAM), relative ammonium immobilization (RAI), fungal abundances, TOC/TN, nitrate (NO 3 − ), and δ 13 C org . N mineralization and immobilization rates were both significantly related to overlying water NO 3 − , as well as sediment moisture content, bulk density, organic matter, Fe 2+ , and microbial abundances. In addition, the total mineralized and immobilized N in aquaculture surface sediments from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area were estimated to be approximately 4.55×10 4 and 3.68×10 4 t N yr -1 , respectively. Higher N mineralization relative to N immobilized fluxes indicated that the sediment serves as an important source of eutrophication in reclaimed aquaculture system of coastal wetlands.
