Effect of wind on summer chlorophyll-a variability in the Yellow Sea - Lei Lin; Dongyan Liu; Yueqi Wang; Ting Lv; Yue Zhao; Wei Tan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Winds potentially affect primary production in shelf seas during the stratified season by enhancing upwelling and mixing. However, the exact extent and modalities of this effect in the Yellow Sea remain unclear. Here, based on the satellite and in situ observation data, statistical method, and wind-driven upwelling theory, we examined the wind effect on the chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) variability in the summer of 2002-2020 and the effect mechanism. The satellite data revealed a significantly positive correlation between anomalies of the monthly mean of the summer sea surface Chl-a and wind speed at the continental slope region (water depth of 20-60 m) in the southwestern Yellow Sea where strong wind-driven upwelling has been indicated by previous studies. The wind-driven upwelling along the continental slope was further verified using two summer in-situ observations. After a fortnight of southeasterly wind, the upwelling patterns of high salinity and rich nutrients from the Yellow Sea cold water mass were observed, and consequently, high Chl-a concentrations occurred in the upper layer of the slope region. The wind-driven upwelling occurred in the region at water depth of ~20-60 m, which is consistent with the result of the wind-driven coastal upwelling theory (0.5 D < water depth < 1.25 D , where D is the thickness of the Ekman layer). The dissolved inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicate fluxes contributed by wind-driven upwelling were estimated as 1345 ± 674 μmol/m 2 /d, 81 ± 45 μmol/m 2 /d and 1460 ± 899 μmol/m 2 /d, respectively, accounting for 30%-40% of total nutrient supply, and were several times larger than that contributed by the turbulent mixing, which can explain why the strong wind-Chl-a correlation only occurred at the upwelling region rather than the entire sea. In addition, in this region, the interannual variability of the summer mean Chl-a was negatively correlated to both the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) indexes, due to the opposite phase of the summer wind anomaly and the PDO/ENSO. This study revealed the wind effect on the shelf phytoplankton is regional and highlighted that wind could be a pivotal factor driving the climate variability of shelf primary production in the stratified season.

Labile and refractory fractions of sedimentary organic carbon off the Changjiang Estuary and its implications for sedimentary oxygen consumption - Yu Cao; Hong Huang; Xu Zhao; Jun Li; Teng Wang; Jun Lin; Zhuo-Yi Zhu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Estuarine and coastal area is dynamic zone for both marine carbon and oxygen cycles. There is limited evaluation of the labile and refractory fraction of sedimentary organic carbon and further a lack of attention to the corresponding potential in dissolved oxygen utilization. In this study, we collected sediment samples from the Changjiang estuary and adjacent coastal areas in the East China Sea in June 2019 to reveal the distribution, main controlling factor, and implications of four operational fractions of sediment organic carbon that range from labile to refraction. In the laboratory, we processed and defined the four operational fractions of sedimentary organic carbon, includes 1) pure water extractable carbon (WEC), 2) salt (K2SO4 solution) extractable carbon (SEC), 3) Microbial biomass carbon (MBC; chloroform extractable carbon), and 4) refractory organic carbon (ROC; the acid-processed fraction). We revealed that off the Changjiang Estuary, the bulk sedimentary organic carbon (SOC), WEC, SEC, MBC, and ROC were 9.43 ± 3.07 g/kg, 0.12 ± 0.10 g/kg, 0.16 ± 0.07 g/kg, 1.58 ± 0.45 g/kg, and 4.38 ± 1.95 g/kg, respectively. Sediment grain size played a vital role in constraining the LOC fractions, and samples from aquaculture areas showed extra-higher levels of LOC when compared to samples from the non-aquaculture area. The LOC and MBC fraction showed clear negative relation with dissolved oxygen (DO) in the near bottom waters under high DO background (DO > 5.5 mg/L), whereas in a low DO background (DO < 3-4 mg/L) no clear relation can be found. Based on our observed LOC content and DO concentration in the near bottom waters, the depth of hypoxia in the near bottom waters, which would be caused by a total decomposition of 4 mm of LOC in the top sediment, ranged between 0.3 m to 4.7 m with an average depth of 2 m. This value (2 m) means that sedimentary oxygen consumption would contribute 10% in the occurrence of hypoxia, with the rest contributing from water column respiration. Overall, we used the LOC fraction of sedimentary organic carbon to address the dissolved oxygen consumption in the near bottom waters and further study is needed to evaluate this approach.

Andrographolide ameliorates hepatic steatosis by suppressing FATP2-mediated fatty acid uptake in mice with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease - Li-Sha Ran; Ya-Zeng Wu; Yi-Wen Gan; Hong-Lian Wang; Li-Juan Wu; Chun-Mei Zheng; Yao Ming; Ran Xiong; Yong-Lin Li; Shi-Hang Lei; Xue Wang; Xiao-Qing Lao; et al. (Journal of Natural Medicines, 2023)
Excessive intrahepatocellular lipid accumulation or steatosis is caused by abnormal lipid metabolism and a common character of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which may progress into cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. Andrographolide (Andro) is the primary active ingredient extracted from Andrographis paniculata , showing a protective role against dietary steatosis with the mechanism not fully understood. In this study, we showed that administration of Andro (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks, respectively) attenuated obesity and metabolic syndrome in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice with improved glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and reduced hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia. HFD-fed mice presented hepatic steatosis, which was significantly prevented by Andro. In vitro, Andro decreased the intracellular lipid droplets in oleic acid-treated LO2 cells. The selected RT-PCR array revealed a robust expression suppression of the fatty acid transport proteins (FATPs) by Andro treatment. Most importantly, we found that Andro consistently reduced the expression of FATP2 in both the oleic acid-treated LO2 cells and liver tissues of HFD-fed mice. Overexpression of FATP2 abolished the lipid-lowering effect of Andro in oleic acid-treated LO2 cells. Andro treatment also reduced the fatty acid uptake in oleic acid-treated LO2 cells, which was blunted by FATP2 overexpression. Collectively, our findings reveal a novel mechanism underlying the anti-steatosis effect of Andro by suppressing FATP2-mediated fatty acid uptake, suggesting the potential therapeutic application of Andro in the treatment of NAFLD.

Two types of cold waves affecting northeast China and the corresponding different key regions of precedent sea ice and sea surface temperature - Yihe Fang; Yitong Lin; Chunyu Zhao; Shiqi Xu; Yi Lin; Yiqiu Yu (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Based on the daily minimum temperature data from 199 meteorological stations in northeast China (NEC), the cold wave (CW) processes in winter from 1980 to 2020 are identified. Then, by using the reanalysis 500‐hPa geopotential height data provided by the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the CWs are objectively classified into two types (abbreviated as Type 1 and Type 2) according to the corresponding atmospheric circulation through the hierarchical cluster algorithm (HCA). The relationships of the CWs with the Arctic sea sic (SIC) and sea surface temperature (SST) are revealed. For Type 1, the SIC in the north of the Barents Sea–Kara Sea is relatively less in the previous autumn, and a wave train propagating from the polar regions to Northeast Asia is stimulated under the ice–atmosphere interaction. This wave train further cooperates with the positive SST anomaly in the southern Indian Ocean to excite the low‐vortex circulation under the negative phase of Arctic Oscillation (AO) in winter, which is conducive to the occurrence of Type 1. However, the relatively low SST in the western Pacific warm pool in previous autumn stimulates a northward propagating wave train along the meridian, which increases the degree of meridionality of the atmospheric circulation over East Asia and thus indirectly causes the polar‐vortex‐splitting circulation under the positive AO phase, which favours the formation of Type 2. The numerical simulations can well reproduce the observational facts, further confirming the possible impact of the SIC and SST in the previous autumn on the two types of CW over the NEC.

Selection and Verification of Reference Genes for Gene Expression Studies in Different Cell Lines of Golden Pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) - Na Zhao; Han Zhang; Lin Zhu; Yongwei Hou; Ying Wu; Zhenjie Cao; Yun Sun (Fishes, 2022)
The golden pompano snout (GPS) and head kidney (GPHK) cell lines have been proven to be meaningful tools for the study on pathogenic infections in vitro. In this study, we aimed to select the most stable reference genes from seven housekeeping genes (Actin, B2M, GAPDH, RPL13, EF1A, 18S and UBCE) applied to two cell lines of golden pompano (GPS and GPHK) under both normal physiological conditions and stimulated conditions of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C) relying on quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Additionally, the raw Ct value resulting from the qRT-PCR was analyzed by the geNorm, NormFinder and BestKeeper algorithm, and the results indicated that expression for all candidate genes exhibited some discrepancy under different experimental conditions or cell types. As for the non-stimulated group, 18S and RPL13 were the most appropriate reference genes in GPS and GPHK cells, respectively. Nevertheless, the most suitable reference genes in GPS and GPHK cells, under the stimulation of LPS, were RPL13 and 18S, respectively, whereas after being stimulated with Poly I:C, UBCE and EF1A were recommended as the optimal candidates for GPS and GPHK cells, respectively. To be sure of the reliability of the selected reference genes, immune-related genes (ISG15, BCL2, IRF1 and IRF7) were chosen as target genes to normalize. The study will provide a direction for various golden pompano cell lines to screen appropriate reference genes, and will set the stage for the application of these cell lines in relevant research areas.

Phycospheric bacterial community structure and function succession during the typical harmful macroalgal blooms - Tongfei Qu; Chengzong Hou; Chen Guan; Xinyu Zhao; Jun Chen; Yi Zhong; Jinhui Xu; Zhihao Lin; Yu Xu; Xuexi Tang; Ying Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Based on the diversity and importance of phycospheric microorganisms as well as their complex interaction with algae, their ecological correlation with algal bloom events has become a research topic of great interest that remains unclear in the natural dynamic process of harmful macroalgal blooms (HMBs). The world’s largest green tides caused by macroalgae Ulva prolifera have occurred in the Yellow Sea for 16 consecutive years, and seriously affected the coastal ecosystem. Here, we monitored the spatiotemporal dynamics of the phycospheric bacterial community during the U . prolifera green tide bloom. The 73-day continuous field survey covered the whole process of initial invasion until the extinction of the green tide. The phycospheric bacterial community has a higher richness than the control seawater bacteria; in addition, it has more enriched taxa with organic nutrition preference and environmental pressure adaption, such as Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Desulfobacterota. The same differences in populations and functional profiles were observed among the epiphytic bacterial and phycospheric seawater bacterial communities, which may be driven by the spatial heterogeneity of biogenic elements (e.g., organic nutrients and oxygen) among the habitats. Significant succession occurred in both the epiphytic bacterial and phycospheric seawater bacterial communities; their diversity and richness exhibited significant heterogeneity variation patterns, and their community structure became more similar in late phases. Our study revealed that macroalgal phycospheric microbial communities have a highly complex and dynamic composition and variable ecological functions, which indicate that phycospheric microorganisms are closely related to the fate of HMBs and may have the profound effect coastal biogeochemical cycles.

Distribution and controlling factors of microplastics in surface sediments of typical deep-sea geomorphological units in the northern South China Sea - Xiaodong Zhang; Zhifei Liu; Yulong Zhao; Pengfei Ma; Christophe Colin; Andrew Tien-Shun Lin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Marine microplastics are widely distributed in deep-sea sedimentary environments and are altering sediment compositions and ecological conditions on the seafloor. However, the relation between the distribution of microplastics in deep-sea sediments and the sedimentary dynamic conditions is poorly understood. In this study, we collected surface sediments from some typical geomorphological units (sand dune, sediment drift, and submarine canyon channel/levee) in the northern South China Sea to study composition and distribution of the deep-sea microplastics and their controlling factors. The results show that the microplastic abundance in surface sediments ranges from 19 to 347 p·kg –1 , and the identified microplastics consist of 10 types, including dominant polycarbonate (29%), polyethylene (27%), polyester fiber (16%), polyvinyl chloride (13%), and polypropylene (7%), and minor polyethylene terephthalate resin, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, epoxy resin, hydrocarbon resin, and acrylic. The source analysis shows that the deep-sea microplastics may be influenced by riverine inputs from Taiwan and South China. In addition, the microplastic spatial distribution shows that the sand dune and canyon channel contain the highest abundances (136–347 p·kg –1 ) and more types (4–6 types) of microplastics, which are dominated by relatively high-density polycarbonate or polyvinyl chloride. The canyon levee contains the lowest abundances (19–132 p·kg –1 ) and less types (1–3 types) of microplastics, which are dominated by relatively low-density polyester fiber or polyethylene. Nevertheless, the microplastic composition of the sediment drift is between those of the canyon channel and the canyon levee. The abundance and polymer type (density) of microplastics all increase with the increased mean grain size of detrital sediments, which represents the progressively enhanced intensity of sedimentary dynamic conditions. We therefore infer that the sedimentary dynamic conditions control the composition and distribution of microplastics in the deep-sea sediments. This study highlights that some deep-sea environments with stronger sedimentary dynamic conditions may accumulate more microplastics, which is of great significance for evaluating the storage and ecological damage of deep-sea microplastics.

An Underwater Inductive Power Transfer System with a Compact Receiver and Reduced Eddy Current Loss - Zhengchao Yan; Chenxu Zhao; Qianyu Hu; Min Wu; Lin Qiao; Kehan Zhang; Yuli Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Inductive power transfer (IPT) technology is widely used in autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to achieve safety and flexibility. However, the eddy current loss (ECL) will be generated in the seawater due to the high-frequency alternating current in the transmitter and receiver. An underwater IPT system with a series-none (SN) compensation topology is proposed in this paper to achieve a compact receiver for AUVs and reduce the ECL. The analytical model of the IPT system is built to analyze its transfer performance. The phase difference between the transmitter and receiver current of the SN compensation topology is larger than 90° compared to that of the conventional series-series (SS) topology, which can significantly decrease the magnitude of the electric field caused by coil currents; thus, the eddy current loss is reduced. Moreover, the optimal load resistance of the seawater IPT system is lower than that in the air, and the SN compensation topology has a more compact receiver with no compensation capacitor in the receiving side, which can save the internal space in the AUVs. An experimental prototype based on the SN topology is built, and the experimental results have verified the analysis.

Volumetric Imaging of Neural Activity by Light Field Microscopy - Lu Bai; Zhenkun Zhang; Lichen Ye; Lin Cong; Yuchen Zhao; Tianlei Zhang; Ziqi Shi; Kai Wang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022)
Recording the highly diverse and dynamic activities in large populations of neurons in behaving animals is crucial for a better understanding of how the brain works. To meet this challenge, extensive efforts have been devoted to developing functional fluorescent indicators and optical imaging techniques to optically monitor neural activity. Indeed, optical imaging potentially has extremely high throughput due to its non-invasive access to large brain regions and capability to sample neurons at high density, but the readout speed, such as the scanning speed in two-photon scanning microscopy, is often limited by various practical considerations. Among different imaging methods, light field microscopy features a highly parallelized 3D fluorescence imaging scheme and therefore promises a novel and faster strategy for functional imaging of neural activity. Here, we briefly review the working principles of various types of light field microscopes and their recent developments and applications in neuroscience studies. We also discuss strategies and considerations of optimizing light field microscopy for different experimental purposes, with illustrative examples in imaging zebrafish and mouse brains.

Impact of salinity origin on microbial communities in saline springs within the Illinois Basin, USA - Linduo Zhao; Hongbo Shao; Li Zhang; Samuel V. Panno; Walton R. Kelly; Tzu‐Yu Lin; Wen‐Tso Liu; Theodore M. Flynn; Peter Berger (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Saline springs within the Illinois Basin result from the discharge of deep‐seated evaporated seawater (brine) and likely contain diverse and complex microbial communities that are poorly understood. In this study, seven saline/mineral springs with different geochemical characteristics and salinity origins were investigated using geochemical and molecular microbiological analyses to reveal the composition of microbial communities inhabiting springs and their key controlling factors. The 16S rRNA sequencing results demonstrated that each spring harbours a unique microbial community influenced by its geochemical properties and subsurface conditions. The microbial communities in springs that originated from Cambrian/Ordovician strata, which are deep confined units that have limited recharge from overlying formations, share a greater similarity in community composition and have a higher species richness and more overlapped taxa than those that originated from shallower Pennsylvanian strata, which are subject to extensive regional surface and groundwater recharge. The microbial distribution along the spring flow paths at the surface indicates that 59.8%–94.2% of total sequences in sedimentary samples originated from spring water, highlighting the role of springs in influencing microbiota in the immediate terrestrial environment. The results indicate that the springs introduce microbiota with a high biodiversity into surface terrestrial or aquatic ecosystems, potentially affecting microbial reservoirs in downstream ecosystems.

Photodegradation of biobased polymer blends in seawater: A major source of microplastics in the marine environment - Shasha Zhao; Liuqingqing Liu; Chenguang Li; Hao Zheng; Yadan Luo; Lihua Pang; Qianhui Lin; Hongyu Zhang; Cuizhu Sun; Lingyun Chen; Fengmin Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Introduction Biobased polymer blends have been recommended as an eco-friendly solution to abate plastic pollution in the environment. However, the formation of microplastics (MPs) by photodegradation of biobased polymer blends in the marine environment is still not well understood. In this study, we investigated the formation of MPs and the changes in the physicochemical properties of three types of biobased polymer blends after photodegradation in seawater. Methods The investigated materials included non-biodegradable polyethylene/ thermoplastic starch blends (PE/TPS) and polypropylene/thermoplastic starch blends (PP/TPS), as well as biodegradable polylactic acid/poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/thermoplastic starch blends (PLA/PBAT/TPS). The control groups were the corresponding neat polymers, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polylactic acid (PLA). Results The size distribution of the pristine and aged MPs indicated that the polymer blends were more likely to produce small-sized particles after photodegradation due to their poorer mechanical properties and lower resistance to UV irradiation than the neat polymers. Noticeable surface morphology alterations, including cracks, holes, and pits, were observed for polymer blends after photodegradation, while neat polymers were relatively resistant. After photodegradation, the attenuated total reflection Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) spectrum of the polymer blends showed a significant decrease in the characteristic bands of thermoplastic starch (TPS), indicating depletion of their starch fractions. The C1s spectra of the polymer blends demonstrated that the aged MPs contained fewer -OH groups than the pristine MPs, further confirming the photodegradation of TPS. The molecular weight distribution curve of the polymer blends shifted significantly towards low molecular weight, suggesting the occurrence of chain scission during photodegradation. These results indicate that the polymer blends have a higher degree of photodegradation than neat polymers, and thereby generate more small-sized MPs than neat polymers. Photodegradation caused changes in the contact angle and surface charge of MPs derived from biobased polymer blends, which may affect the vector effects of MPs on any coexisting pollutants. Discussion In summary, polymer blends may pose a higher risk to the marine environment than neat polymers, and caution should be taken in promoting biobased polymer blends.

Identifying priority areas for tidal wetland restoration by integrating ecosystem services supply and demand mismatches - Shiwei Lin; Xiuzhen Li; Ruidong Wu; Yuxi Ma; Wenzhen Zhao; Jiangjing Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Governments and non-governmental organizations have widely recognized tidal wetland restoration as a sustainable instrument to lessen the threat of climate change, which is reflected by the expansion of the spatial scale of coastal restoration projects. However, approaches to large-scale spatial planning of tidal wetland restoration remain sparse. Previous studies on site selection for restoration planning have focused on the potential supply of ecosystem services (ES) or restoration feasibility with less emphasis on the mitigation of the status of regional ES supply and demand mismatches. We developed a five-step workflow based on systematic conservation planning to identify priority areas for tidal wetland restoration and applied it to the coastal reclaimed areas of Shanghai, China. With this workflow, we analyzed the changes in spatial distribution and the potential ecosystem services supply and restoration costs of priority areas between the two different scenarios of ES demand ignored and ES demand considered. Results showed that the potential restorable areas only accounted for 31.4% (425.2 km²) of the original reclaimed area because of other land use demands (e.g., permanent basic farmland conservation). We extracted 50% of the potential restorable areas as priority areas based on Aichi Target 15. Compared with the ES demand-ignored scenario, the ES demand scenario resulted in a substantial increase in the priority areas of Baoshan District (~177%) and Pudong New Area (~15%) and a small decrease in Chongming District (~4%). No significant change in the potential ES supply for all priority areas was observed between the two scenarios. However, the total restoration cost of the ES demand scenario is 10% higher than that of the ES demand-ignored scenario. Our study highlights the importance of considering the status of regional ES supply and demand (mis)matches in large-scale spatial planning for tidal wetland restoration.

Integrative sperm DNA methylation and miRomics analysis highlights interaction of two epigenetic patterns of pseudomale inheritance in teleost - Na Zhao; Lei Jia; Lu Chen; Jieyan Lin; Zhongdian Dong; Bo Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Proper DNA methylation in spermatozoa is essential for the normal development of fertilized embryos through gene expression regulation. Abnormal sperm DNA methylation is associated with male fertility impairment, offspring quality decline, and disease susceptibility. Compared with other epigenetic regulatory mechanisms (e.g., histone modification), DNA methylation is a stable regulator for the long-term transcriptional activity of genes. Sperm DNA methylation is crucial to offspring’s survival, development, and reproduction. However, it has not been well studied in teleost to a large extent, especially in some species with sex deviation or congenital sex abnormality in offspring. In the present study, DNA methylation profiles of pseudomale (ZW) and male (ZZ) tongue sole ( Cynoglossus semilaevis ) spermatozoa were characterized for differential methylation regions (DMRs) screening. The global methylation levels of the two sperm groups were highly methylated with no significant differences. For all kinds of genomic elements, the mean methylation level of the ZW group was higher than that of the ZZ group. The total numbers of Covered C annotated on the W chromosome of both groups were extremely small, suggesting that W-type sperm did not exist in pseudomales. A comparison of methylation levels on 20 sex-related genes between sperm and gonad showed that the heterogeneity between tissue resources was greater than that between sexes, and the methylation level of most genes in gonads was lower than that in sperm. For integrative analysis of DNA methylation and miRomic profiles, 11 sex-related DMRs associated with 15 differentials micro RNAs (miRNAs) in spermatozoa were identified to present targeting relationships and regulatory trends of the two distinct epigenetic patterns. This study provides valuable and potential targets of coordination between two epigenetic mechanisms in the process of C. semilaevis sex congenital bias.

Age, Growth and Population Structure Analyses of the Purpleback Flying Squid Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis in the Northwest Indian Ocean by the Statolith Microstructure - Yu-Zhe Ou; Hua-Jie Lu; Hong-Hao Wang; Zi-Yue Chen; Mao-Lin Zhao (Fishes, 2022)
A total of 1177 Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis were randomly collected from the northwest Indian Ocean from February between May 2019 and 2020 by lighting falling-net vessels. The age, growth, and population structure of S. oualaniensis were studied based on the statolith microstructure. The results showed that the range of mantle length (ML) was 123–562 mm for females and 88–273 mm for males, and the range of body weight (BW) was 78–6268 g for females and 82–518 g for males in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The hatching date extended from May to December, with the 2019 samples mainly composed of the autumn population, while the 2020 samples were mostly composed of the summer population. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that there were significant differences in the growth of ML–age and BW–age between sexes. In the growth model of the ML–age relationship, both females and males in 2019 were best described by s linear model, and 2020 was best described by a logarithmic model. The growth model of the BW–age relationship of females and males in 2019 was best described as linear and the growth model of the BW–age relationship of females and males in 2020 was described logarithmically and exponentially, respectively. The average absolute daily growth rate (AGR) and instantaneous growth rate (IGR) for ML of the 2019 samples were 0.85 mm/d and 0.40%/d, and the average AGR and IGR for ML of the 2020 samples were 0.65 mm/d and 0.18%, respectively. The growth of S. oualaniensis samples in 2019 was faster than that in 2020. This study provided basic information on the age, growth, and population of S. oualaniensis, which will supply a scientific basis for stock assessment and sustainable development.

Circular RNA expression profile of systemic lupus erythematosus and its clinical significance as a potential novel biomarker - Wenyu Li; Runge Fan; Cheng Zhou; Yue Wei; Shunsheng Lin; Sijian Wen; Wen Zeng; Wei Hou; Cheng Zhao; Youkun Lin (Genes & Genomics, 2022)
Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of endogenous noncoding RNAs that are more abundant, specific, and highly organized than linear RNAs. Increasing evidence supports that circRNAs may serve as diagnostic biomarkers in many diseases, but their potential as biomarkers in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains unclear. Objective We investigated the critical circRNAs involved in SLE progression and explored their potential application as biomarkers in SLE. Method RNA sequencing was conducted on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 4 SLE patients and 4 healthy volunteers. CircRNA profile data were analyzed to identify differentially expressed circRNAs and visualized via R software. After screening, qPCR analysis of target circRNA expression was performed using PBMCs from 31 SLE patients and 35 healthy volunteers. Correlations between circRNA expression levels and the SLEDAI score were assessed via Spearman correlation analysis. Finally, the performance of circRNAs as biomarkers in SLE was examined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results The result identified six differentially expressed circRNAs between SLE patients and healthy controls: hsa_circ_0006689, hsa_circ_0070562, hsa_circ_0006117, hsa_circ_0007683, hsa_circ_0042519, and hsa_circ_0008647. The validation analysis showed differing relative expression levels of hsa_circ_0007683, hsa_circ_0042519, hsa_circ_0008647, and hsa_circ_0006689 between SLE patients and healthy volunteers (P < 0.05), and hsa_circ_0006689 expression in PBMCs correlated with the SLEDAI score (P < 0.05). Furthermore, addition of hsa_circ_0006689 expression increased the sensitivities of anti-dsDNA antibody and anti-Sm antibody levels for SLE diagnosis (from 29.03 to 61.30% and 32.26–71.00%, respectively). Conclusion Our results suggest hsa_circ_0006689 may be a useful circRNA biomarker for SLE diagnosis and prognosis.

Research on the Enhancement of the Separation Efficiency for Discrete Phases Based on Mini Hydrocyclone - Lin Liu; Lixin Zhao; Yahong Wang; Shuang Zhang; Minhang Song; Xueqiang Huang; Zhongrun Lu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The economic and efficient treatment of mixed media in offshore produced fluids is of great significance to oilfield production. Due to the small space and limited load-bearing capacity of offshore platforms, some mature multiphase media separation processes in onshore oilfields are difficult to apply. Therefore, high-efficiency processing methods with small-occupied space are required. Mini hydrocyclones (MHCs) are a potential separation method due to their simple structure, small footprint, and high separation efficiency (especially for fine particles or droplets). However, for discrete phases with different densities and sizes, the enhancement rule of the separation efficiency of MHCs is not yet clear. In this paper, numerical simulation methods were used to study the separation performance of hydrocyclones with different main diameters (including conventional hydrocyclones (CHCs) and MHCs) for discrete phases with different densities and particle sizes. Results show that MHC has the optimal enhancement range for oil–water separation when oil-droplet sizes are 60–300 μm, while the optimal enhancement range for silica particle and water separation is 10–40 μm. For other droplet/particle size ranges, the efficiency enhancement effect of MHC is not obvious compared to conventional hydrocyclones. By calculating the radial force of particles in MHC and CHC, the reasons for the enhanced efficiency of MHC are theoretically analyzed. The pressure drop of MHC is higher than CHC under the same feed velocity, which can be improved by connecting CHC with MHC. Additionally, the fluid velocity test experiments based on particle image velocimetry (PIV) were carried out to verify the accuracy of the numerical simulations. This study clarified the scope of application of MHCs to different discrete phase types, in order to provide a basis for the precise application of MHCs.

Uncertainty in Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation derived from different observed datasets and their possible causes - Bowen Zhao; Pengfei Lin; Aixue Hu; Hailong Liu; Mengrong Ding; Zipeng Yu; Yongqiang Yu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
As a leading mode of sea surface temperature (SST) variability over the North Atlantic in both observations and model simulations, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) can have a substantial influence on regional and global climate. By using Low-Frequency Component Analysis, we explore the uncertainties of the resulting AMO indices and the corresponding spatial patterns derived from three observational SST datasets. We found that the known coherent spatial pattern of the AMO at the basin scale over the North Atlantic appears in two out of the three datasets. Further analysis indicates that both the warming trend and the different techniques used to construct these observed gridded SSTs contribute to the AMO’s spatial coherence over the North Atlantic, especially during periods of sparse data sampling. The SST in the Extended Reconstructed SST dataset version 5 (ERSSTv5), changes from being systematically below the other datasets during the dense sampling periods on either side of the Second World War (WWII), to systematically above the other datasets during WWII, thereby introducing an artificial 10–20-year variability that affects the AMO’s spatial coherence. This coherence in the AMO’s spatial pattern is also affected by bias adjustment in ERSSTv5 at relative cool (i.e., non-summer) seasons, and by the heterogeneous North Atlantic warming pattern. The different AMO patterns can induce the different effects of wind, surface heat fluxes, and then drive ocean circulation and its heat transport convergence, especially for some seasons. For AMO indices, both the different detrending methods and different observational data result in uncertainty for the period 1935–1950. Such SST uncertainty is important to detect the relative role of the atmosphere and ocean in shaping the AMO.

Diversity and distribution of Perkinsus spp. along the coast of China: Implications for widespread transmission of Perkinsus spp. in mollusks - Lingtong Ye; Lin Wu; Jie Lu; Tuo Yao; Jiangyong Wang; Shaokun Shi; Gang Yu; Wang Zhao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Perkinsus species, which are parasitic pathogens of mollusks, have been transmitted and dispersed to various molluscan species along the coastal waters of many countries. However, few studies have addressed the diversity and distribution of Perkinsus spp. along the coast of China. Here we used conventional PCR amplification and sequencing techniques, combined with a qPCR assay as a confirmatory test, to evaluate the prevalence of Perkinsus species in molluscan species among different sea regions of China. Three Perkinsus species —P. olseni , P. beihaiensis , and P. chesapeaki— were detected, with P. chesapeaki reported for the first time along the Chinese coast. Seven of eight molluscan species carried Perkinsus species, including Crassostrea gigas , C. hongkongensis , Sinonovacula constricta , Ruditapes philippinarum , Scapharca subcrenata , Meretrix lyrate , and Haliotis diversicolor . Perkinsus olseni was prominent in the Yellow and Bohai Sea and East China Sea, while P. beihaiensis was prominent in the South China Sea. Most of the molluscan species carried Perkinsus spp. with the medium or low levels of PCR-prevalence (<30%). The three Perkinsus species possess high levels of internal transcriber spacer haplotypes, some of which are shared among many countries. The much higher PCR-prevalence of Perkinsus spp. in the clam Ruditapes philippinarum and the oyster Crassostrea hongkongensis suggests that Perkinsus species may be transmitted and dispersed to other mollusks through the transportation of Perkinsus -carried R. philippinarum and C. hongkongensis . Perkinsus carrying tended to be generally linked with a broader geographic range, lower prevalence, more diversified molluscan hosts, and more diversified Perkinsus haplotypes.

Clinical profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of invasive Salmonella infections in children in China - Wen Song; Qingwen Shan; Yue Qiu; Xianyao Lin; Chunhui Zhu; Zhiqiang Zhuo; Caihong Wang; Jianning Tong; Rui Li; Chaomin Wan; Yu Zhu; Minxia Chen; et al. (European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2022)
Invasive Salmonella infections result in a significant burden of disease including morbidity, mortality, and financial cost in many countries. Besides typhoid fever, the clinical impact of non-typhoid Salmonella infections is increasingly recognized with the improvement of laboratory detection capacity and techniques. A retrospective multicenter study was conducted to analyze the clinical profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of invasive Salmonella infections in hospitalized children in China during 2016–2018. A total of 130 children with invasive Salmonella infections were included with the median age of 12 months (range: 1–144 months). Seventy-nine percent of cases occurred between May and October. Pneumonia was the most common comorbidity in 33 (25.4%) patients. Meningitis and septic arthritis caused by nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) infections occurred in 12 (9.2%) patients and 5 (3.8%) patients. Patients < 12 months (OR: 16.04) and with septic shock (OR: 23.4), vomit (OR: 13.33), convulsion (OR: 15.86), C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥ 40 g/L (OR: 5.56), and a higher level of procalcitonin (PCT) (OR: 1.05) on admission were statistically associated to an increased risk of developing meningitis. Compared to 114 patients with NTS infections , 16 patients with typhoid fever presented with higher levels of CRP and PCT ( P < 0.05). The rates of resistance to ampicillin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin, and ceftriaxone among Salmonella Typhi and NTS isolates were 50% vs 57.3%, 9.1% vs 24.8%, 0% vs 11.2%, and 0% vs 9.9%, respectively. NTS has been the major cause of invasive Salmonella infections in Chinese children and can result in severe diseases. Antimicrobial resistance among NTS was more common.

A super-large ensemble simulation dataset with 110 members has been produced by the fully coupled model FGOALS-g3 developed by researchers at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is the first dataset of large ensemble simulations with a climate system model developed by a Chinese modeling center. The simulation has the largest realizations up to now worldwide in terms of single-model initial-condition large ensembles. Each member includes a historical experiment (1850–2014) and an experiment (2015–99) under the very high greenhouse gas emissions Shared Socioeconomic Pathway scenario (SSP5-8.5). The dataset includes monthly and daily temperature, precipitation, and other variables, requiring storage of 275 TB. Additionally, the surface air temperature (SAT) and land precipitation simulated by the FGOALS-g3 super-large ensemble have been validated and projected. The ensemble can capture the response of SAT and land precipitation to external forcings well, and the internal variabilities can be quantified. The availability of more than 100 realizations will help researchers to study rare events and improve the understanding of the impact of internal variability on forced climate changes.

Countrywide inter‐epidemic region migration pattern suggests the role of southwestern population in wheat stripe rust epidemics in China - Muhammad Awais; Sajid Ali; Meng Ju; Wei Liu; Gensheng Zhang; Zedong Zhang; Zejian Li; Xinyao Ma; Lin Wang; Zhimin Du; Xiaxia Tian; Qingdong Zeng; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Understanding countrywide pathogen population structure and inter‐epidemic region spread is crucial for deciphering crop potential losses. Wheat stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is a destructive disease that affects worldwide wheat production, widespread in China, representing largest epidemic region globally. This study aimed to understand the population structure and migration route of P . striiformis f. sp. tritici across China based on sampling from 15 provinces representing six epidemic zones, viz., over‐summering, over‐wintering, eastern, Yun‐Gui, Xinjiang and Tibet epidemic regions. High genotypic diversity was recorded in over‐summering, Tibet and over‐wintering epidemic regions. Epidemic regions partly explain population subdivision with variable divergence ( F ST = 0.005–0.344). Xinjiang and Tibet epidemic regions were independent epidemic zones with least sharing of genotypes. Among other epidemic zones, i.e. over‐summering, over‐wintering, eastern and Yun‐Gui epidemic zones, re‐sampling MLGs, clustering‐based structure, DAPC analyses, relative migration and low divergence ( F ST from 0.006 to 0.073) revealed frequent geneflow. Yun‐Gui epidemic regions, with a potential for both over‐summering and over‐wintering, could play an important role in causing epidemics in main wheat‐cultivating areas of China. High diversity, recombination signatures and inter‐epidemic region migration patterns need to be considered in host‐resistant cultivar development in China and neighbouring countries, considering risk of long‐distance migration capacity of pathogen.

The utilization of physically based models and GIS techniques for comprehensive risk assessment of storm surge: A case study of Huizhou - Si Wang; Lin Mu; Hao Qin; Lizhe Wang; Zhenfeng Yao; Enjin Zhao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Quantitative analyses of storm surge risk, which are mostly focused on physical vulnerability, have been widely used to help coastal communities mitigate impacts and damage. Such assessments, however, overlook the social aspect of vulnerability in storm surge risk. By considering both the community’s social vulnerability and buildings’ physical vulnerability, this study proposed a methodology that incorporates social vulnerability into the framework for making quantitative risk assessments of storm surge using a coupled hydrodynamic and wave model, Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques, and the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. The coastal area of Huizhou was chosen as the case study due to its high concentration of oil and gas infrastructure in China’s southern Guangdong Province. By combining hazard, exposure, physical vulnerability, and social vulnerability, it was possible to explore the effect of social vulnerability on the physical vulnerability-based risk assessment of storm surge and determine the overall risk level. First, the Gumbel distribution was utilized to establish five representative and plausible hypothetical typhoon events with different return periods (10, 20, 50, 100, and 1000 years) for the study area. Then, using the well-validated fully-coupled model, the Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) model and the ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC) model, storm surge simulations for defined return periods were run, and the geographical distribution of the maximum surge elevations displayed on a GIS platform was used to assess hazard levels. In terms of the physical aspect, the depth-damage functions for buildings were established to estimate direct economic losses and assign risk levels accordingly. For the social vulnerability of a community, a composite score was computed using the PCA method by combining and aggregating indicators representing various characteristics of the social group. The results show that the overall risk level, taking into account both social vulnerability and physical vulnerability, has decreased on average. It suggests that social vulnerability-based risk assessment may account for a significant portion of the overall risk assessment, which is frequently overlooked in traditional storm surge risk assessment. Additionally, the comprehensive and precise risk maps can assist local policymakers in identifying areas at different risk levels and developing evacuation plans, thereby minimizing potential losses, especially in high-risk areas.

Horizontal and vertical heterogeneity of sediment microbial community in Site F cold seep, the South China Sea - Xinyi Zhai; Xiaochong Shi; Haojin Cheng; Peng Yao; Bin Zhao; Lin Chen; Jiwen Liu; Lei Cao; Minxiao Wang; Lulu Fu; Xiao-Hua Zhang; Min Yu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Site F is the most vigorous cold seep known on the continental slope of the northern South China Sea. Up to now, the microbial community structures in sediments of Site F based on the high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes have been studied extensively. However, few studies investigated the microbial community structures at fine vertical scales of Site F and control stations outside Site F. In this study, a comprehensive investigation of microbial communities in sediments of Site F along the depths varying from 0 to 24 cm below sea floor (cmbsf) of four sampling sites—SRS (Southern Reduced Sediment), NRS (Northern Reduced Sediment), Control 1 (close to Site F), and Control 2 (far from Site F)—was carried out. The high relative abundances of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME), Desulfobacterota [sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB)], and Campylobacteria [sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB)] in SRS and NRS indicated that these two sites were newborn cold seep sites compared with non-seep sites, Control 1, and Control 2. A positive correlation between ANME-1b, ANME-2, and SEEP-SRB and an enrichment of Sulfurovum and Methlomonadaceae were found in the surface sediments of both SRS and NRS, indicating that the processes of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), sulfur oxidation, and sulfate reduction might occur in seep sites. SRS was enriched with ANME-1b and SEEP-SRB2 with a proposed sulfate-methane transition zone (SMTZ) approximately located at 8 cmbsf. The high abundance of ANME in SRS may due to the high concentration of methane. NRS was enriched with ANME-2, Desulfatiglans , Sulfurovum , and Methanosarcinaceae with a proposed SMTZ at about 10 cmbsf. According to the analyses of microbial community structure and environmental factors, NRS could be described as a notable cold seep reduced sediment site with low sulfate and high H 2 S that nourished abundant SEEP-SRB1, ANME-2, Methanosarcinales , and Sulfurovum , which showed similar distribution pattern. Our study expands the current knowledge on the differences of microbial communities in cold seep sites and non-seep sites and sheds light on the horizontal and vertical heterogeneity of sediment microbial community in Site F.

Fatty Acid Profile of Jumbo Squid (Dosidicus gigas) off the Peruvian Exclusive Economic Zone: Revealing the Variability of Feeding Strategies - Guanyu Hu; Zhenfang Zhao; Bilin Liu; Dongming Lin; Jiawei Liang; Zhou Fang; Xinjun Chen (Fishes, 2022)
Jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas play a critical role in the marine ecosystems and are an important commercial species in the East Pacific. Generally, three size groups have been distinguished on the basis of the mantle length (ML) of an adult. Here, fatty acid (FA) analyses of muscle tissues were used to explore the feeding strategies of D. gigas off the Peruvian exclusive economic zone in terms of different size groups and sexes. There was no significant difference in fatty acid composition between the small- and medium-sized groups, whereas the large-sized group differed significantly from other groups. The higher content of C20:4n6 and (C18:2n6 + C18:3n3) indicates that the large-sized group may feed more frequently in nearshore and deep waters. Furthermore, the niches of the three size groups were consistent with the results of fatty acid composition, with the large-sized group occupying the widest trophic niche, followed by the medium-sized group and then the small-sized group. In addition, there was evidence of trophic niche overlap between the small and medium groups. In terms of sexual variability of the small and medium groups, the fatty acid composition significantly differed between females and males. In terms of sexual variation of the large group, the fatty acid composition between females and males was similar, indicating that similar feeding strategies may be adopted by them. This study revealed the variability of the feeding strategies of three size groups of D. gigas off the Peruvian exclusive economic zone.

Coastal aquaculture farms for the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus provide spawning and first-year nursery grounds for wild black rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii: A case study from the Luanhe River estuary, Bohai bay, the Bohai Sea, China - Min Xu; Zun-li Qi; Zun-lei Liu; Wei-min Quan; Qi Zhao; Yun-ling Zhang; Hui Liu; Lin-lin Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Aquaculture farms are known to attract wild organisms from nearby areas. Sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus aquaculture farms in Bohai Bay, the Bohai Sea, China, might provide spawning and nursery grounds for wild black rockfish Sebastes schlegelii populations. To identify the above, we studied the variation in the numbers of S. schlegelii larvae (and length-categories as a percentage of the natural population) via ichthyoplankton surveys by months from January to October 2020, and assessed the food web structure and energy flow distribution of the farm and trophic links of S. schlegelii natural stock by using Ecopath modeling in July 2016 to August 2017. Larvae with a length between 3.90-5.80 mm were observed in the farm in May 2020, the juveniles with an estimated trophic level of 4.31. Juveniles used the farms as first-year nursery ground, and then they swam into deeper waters in August of the following year. MTI analysis showed increasing biomass of S. schlegelii might result in a decrease in the biomass of crustacea, and had positive and negative impacts on mollusk and Hexagrammos otakii biomass. We argued that aquacultural infrastructures constructed by artificial reefs could be used as a fisheries management tool to enhance S. schlegelii stocks and that monitoring of other marine organisms, such as oysters, Rapana venosa , Charybdis japonica , and Asterias spp. etc., was necessary to maintain sustainable exploitations of aquacultural farm ecosystems. A paucity of knowledge surrounding the interactions between aquaculture farms and wild organisms needs furthermore researches.

PTEN-induced kinase 1 enhances the reparative effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells on mice with renal ischaemia/reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury - Chenyu Lin; Wen Chen; Yong Han; Yujie Sun; Xiaoqiong Zhao; Yuan Yue; Binyu Li; Wenmei Fan; Tao Zhang; Li Xiao (Human Cell, 2022)
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common severe acute syndrome caused by multiple factors and is characterized by a rapid decline in renal function during a short period. Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) are effective in treating AKI. However, the mechanism of their beneficial effects remains unclear. PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) may play an important role in kidney tissue repair. In this study, we explored the effect of PINK1 overexpression on enhancing BMSC-mediated repair of AKI. In this study, ischaemia/reperfusion-induced AKI (IRI-AKI) in mice and a hypoxia-reoxygenation model in cells were established, and the indices were examined by pathology and immunology experiments. After ischaemia/reperfusion, PINK1 overexpression reduced apoptosis in injured kidney tissue cell, decreased T lymphocyte infiltration, increased macrophage infiltration, and alleviated the inflammatory response. PINK1 relieved the stress response of BMSCs and renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs), reduced apoptosis, altered the release of inflammatory factors, and reduced the proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). In conclusion, BMSCs and RTECs undergo stress responses in response to hypoxia, inflammation and other conditions, and overexpressing PINK1 in BMSCs could enhance their ability to resist these stress reactions. Furthermore, PINK1 overexpression can regulate the distribution of immune cells and improve the inflammatory response. The regulation of mitochondrial autophagy during IRI-AKI maintains mitochondrial homeostasis and protects renal function. The results of this study provide new strategies and experimental evidence for BMSC-mediated repair of IRI-AKI.

Ecological risk assessment of metallic nanoparticles on the marine environments: Species sensitivity distributions analysis - Sulan Feng; Lin Zhu; Xinguo Zhao; Qi Sui; Xuemei Sun; Bijuan Chen; Keming Qu; Bin Xia (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly being used and inevitably entering the marine environment. Therefore, the adverse effects of NPs on individual marine species have attracted increasing attentions. However, to date, the ecological risks of NPs on the marine ecosystem remain poorly understood. In this study, species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) were constructed for Ag, ZnO, CuO, and TiO 2 NPs to understand their ecotoxicity to the marine ecosystem and the contribution of size effect and ion effect to the nanotoxicity. Furthermore, a case study on the assessment of marine ecological risk and marine environment carrying capacity of metallic NPs was performed in Jiaozhou Bay, China. The results showed the toxicity of metallic NPs to marine species following the order of Ag > ZnO > CuO > TiO 2 . Both size effect and ion effect contributed to the toxicity of NPs. Environmental concentrations of Ag, ZnO, CuO, and TiO 2 NPs are much lower than the predicted no-effect concentrations, indicating that these metallic NPs have not yet posed risks to the marine ecosystem based on currently limited measured environmental concentrations of metallic NPs in seawater. And the marine environment carrying capacity of Ag, ZnO, CuO, and TiO 2 NPs in Jiaozhou Bay seawater were determined to be 5.03, 8.72, 93.06, and 629.79 t, respectively. The results help us understand the ecological risk of NPs in marine environments and provide a scientific basis for the sustainable development of nanotechnology.

Influence of Indo-Pacific ocean currents on the distribution and demographic patterns of the brown seaweed Sargassum polycystum in tropical east Asia - Yanshuo Liang; Shuangshuang Zhang; Changxiang Yan; Stefano G. A. Draisma; Attachai Kantachumpoo; Zhao Li; Yude Lin; Jiang Zhu; Jie Zhang; Delin Duan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Long-distance drifting of seaweeds driven by ocean currents is an ideal model for exploring population-level genetic connectivity and phylogeographic structure. In the Indo-Pacific convergence region, we integrated phylogeographic and ocean current data and Lagrangian particle simulations to explore how the ocean currents contributed to the biogeographical patterns and population genetic connectivity of Sargassum polycystum . The oceanographic transport and direction of gene flow was in line with contemporary ocean currents. The S. polycystum geographical dispersal from glacial refugia homogenized the footprint of genetic divergence. The multidisciplinary intersection provides insights into the evolutionary history and biogeographic conservation of tropical seaweeds in the Indo-Pacific convergence region.

Age, Growth and Population Structure Analyses of the Purpleback Flying Squid Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis in the Northwest Indian Ocean by Beak Microstructure - Hua-Jie Lu; Yu-Zhe Ou; Jing-Ru He; Mao-Lin Zhao; Zi-Yue Chen; Xin-Jun Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
To explore the feasibility of using beak microstructure information to estimate the age of Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis, the microstructures of the upper beaks of individual squid were applied in this work to analyze the ages and growth patterns of squid caught from February–May 2019 and from October–December 2020 in the northwest Indian Ocean. The results indicated that the squid samples in the two years were no older than 9 months, and the samples in 2019 were autumn population and 2020 were spring population. The linear growth model of the autumn population (2019) was the best model for describing the relationship between age and ML, while the power model of the spring population (2020) was the best for describing the relationship between age and ML. The maximum instantaneous growth rate (IGR) and absolute daily growth rate (AGR) values of the spring population were 0.24%/d and 1.09 mm/d, respectively, occurring in squid between 200 and 220 days of age. The maximum IGR and AGR values of the autumn population were 0.69%/d and 1.73 mm/d, respectively, occurring in squid between 200 and 240 days of age. The period from 141–260 days (5–8 months) was considered to correspond to the subadult stage in the whole life history of S. oualaniensis in the Northwest Indian Ocean. The beak microstructure information can be effectively applied to estimate the age of S. oualaniensis individuals.

Aim Soil fauna has a wide range of ecosystem functions. Anthropogenic atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition affects the structure and function of soil fauna by changing the microenvironment and resources. Given that soil faunal responses can vary considerably among taxonomic groups, N deposition rate, and ecosystems, however, there is little consensus. We aimed to evaluate the effects of N deposition on different soil faunal taxa across different terrestrial ecosystems. Location Global. Time period 1970–2021. Major taxa studied Soil fauna. Methods We conducted a meta‐analysis that yielded 264 observations from 43 publications. We evaluated the responses to N addition of soil faunal abundance for three different taxa (nematodes, mites, collembolans) in three ecosystem types (cropland, forest, and grassland). Results Our results showed an overall negative effect of N addition on soil fauna. However, the effect varied among soil faunal taxa. Specifically, N addition had no significant effects on the abundance of collembolans and mites in any ecosystem. On the other hand, N addition significantly reduced the abundance of all nematode trophic groups except bacterivores. The overall reduction of soil fauna is likely driven by the nematode response. The negative effects of N addition on nematode abundance were contingent on the N addition rate, N addition form, and ecosystem type. N addition decreased nematode abundance at N addition rates of more than 100 kg/ha/year. Inorganic N addition negatively affected nematode abundance. Finally, N addition had a greater adverse effect on nematodes in cropland and grassland compared to forest ecosystems. Main conclusions Our results demonstrate the overall negative effects of N addition on nematode abundance. Excessive N addition should be avoided in cropland and grassland management. Further, we suggest the application of organic fertilizer instead of inorganic fertilizer to minimize the N‐induced negative effects on soil nematodes.

Analysis of Influencing Factors of SST in Tropical West Indian Ocean Based on COBE Satellite Data - Chaoli Tang; Dewei Hao; Yuanyuan Wei; Fengmei Zhao; Han Lin; Xin Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The time-frequency domain analysis of the sea surface temperature (SST) in the tropical western Indian Ocean was conducted using wavelet analysis, cross wavelet transform (XWT), the Mann–Kendall (MK) test, and other methods based on COBE-SST data for the last 50 years (1974–2020). From the perspective of time-frequency combination, examining the data of precipitation, sea surface heat flux, total cloud cover, and long-wave radiation, helped contribute to exploring the periodic changes of SST. Moreover, the Western Hemisphere Warm Pool (WHWP) was selected to analyze the role of SST from 1974 to 2020. Present results have demonstrated that the SST in the western Indian Ocean was in a stage of rising, particularly in 1998. According to the fast Fourier transform of the filtered SST time series, the tropical western Indian Ocean SST has a short period of 3–6 years, a medium period of about 10 years, and a long period of 40 years. The SST in the tropical western Indian Ocean has a resonance period of 2–6 years with precipitation, a resonance period of 2–6 years with sea surface heat flux, a resonance period of 4–5 years with total cloud cover, and a resonance period of 2–5 years with long-wave radiation. Importantly, SST was negatively associated with precipitation, total cloud cover, and long-wave radiation, and positively for sea surface heat flux before 1997. Seasonal migration activities are significantly correlated with the WHWP and the tropical western Indian Ocean SST. The spatial lattice point correlation coefficient is generally from 0.6 to 0.9, and the inter-annual serial correlation value is more than 0.89. Furthermore, the two exist with a resonance period of 2–5 years.

Underwater Electromagnetic Guidance Based on the Magnetic Dipole Model Applied in AUV Terminal Docking - Ri Lin; Yucheng Zhao; Dejun Li; Mingwei Lin; Canjun Yang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
To address the poor effect of optical/visual guidance used in AUV terminal docking with strong background light and turbid water quality, an underwater electromagnetic guidance method based on the magnetic dipole model is proposed in this paper. According to the magnetic dipole model, the electromagnetic field of 1 kHz frequency generated by the coil in the range of terminal docking is the near field, where the position can be figured out through the amplitude and phase information of three orthogonal magnetic field intensity vectors. A triaxial-coil magnetometer with three orthogonal coils and a method for extracting the amplitude and phase information of the induced voltage are presented in this paper. According to Faraday’s law, the amplitude and phase information of the induced voltage of a triaxial-coil magnetometer replace the information of magnetic field intensity in relation to positioning. The underwater positioning results show that the average positioning error within 6 m can reach the centimeter level. Five underwater terminal docking tasks were carried out, and four of them were successfully completed, which verified the feasibility of the proposed method.
