Quality Assessment of Sea Surface Salinity from Multiple Ocean Reanalysis Products - Haodi Wang; Ziqi You; Hailong Guo; Wen Zhang; Peng Xu; Kaijun Ren (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Sea surface salinity (SSS) is one of the Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) as defined by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). Acquiring high-quality SSS datasets with high spatial-temporal resolution is crucial for research on the hydrological cycle and the earth climate. This study assessed the quality of SSS data provided by five high-resolution ocean reanalysis products, including the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) 1/12° global reanalysis, the Copernicus Global 1/12° Oceanic and Sea Ice GLORYS12 Reanalysis, the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) reanalysis, the ECMWF Oceanic Reanalysis System 5 (ORAS5) product and the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean Phase II (ECCO2) reanalysis. Regional comparison in the Mediterranean Sea shows that reanalysis largely depicts the accurate spatial SSS structure away from river mouths and coastal areas but slightly underestimates the mean SSS values. Better SSS reanalysis performance is found in the Levantine Sea while larger SSS uncertainties are found in the Adriatic Sea and the Aegean Sea. The global comparison with CMEMS level-4 (L4) SSS shows generally consistent large-scale structures. The mean ΔSSS between monthly gridded reanalysis data and in situ analyzed data is −0.1 PSU in the open seas between 40° S and 40° N with the mean Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) generally smaller than 0.3 PSU and the majority of correlation coefficients higher than 0.5. A comparison with collocated buoy salinity shows that reanalysis products well capture the SSS variations at the locations of tropical moored buoy arrays at weekly scale. Among all of the five products, the data quality of HYCOM reanalysis SSS is highest in marginal sea, GLORYS12 has the best performance in the global ocean especially in tropical regions. Comparatively, ECCO2 has the overall worst performance to reproduce SSS states and variations by showing the largest discrepancies with CMEMS L4 SSS.

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of different doses of dietary Eucommia ulmoides leaf extract (ELE) on juvenile red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus). A total number of 720 red claw crayfish (initial body weight of 0.24 ± 0.01 g) were randomly assigned to six groups and fed diets containing 0 (Diet 1), 0.5 (Diet 2), 1 (Diet 3), 2 (Diet 4), 4 (Diet 5) and 10 (Diet 6) g dry weight (dw) ELE kg (dw)−1 diets for eight weeks and challenged with microcystin-LR stress. The results indicated that dietary supplementation with 1–2 g dw ELE kg (dw)−1 diet could significantly improve the weight gain rate (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR) of crayfish. Muscle crude protein contents of crayfish fed Diet 2, Diet 3, and Diet 4 were significantly higher than those of the control group. Compared with the control group, dietary ELE could increase total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), and phenoloxidase (PO) activities and decrease malondialdehyde (MDA) level of crayfish. Dietary ELE significantly increased the relative expression levels of SOD, thioredoxin 1 (TRX1), GPx, selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (Se-GPx), cytochrome P450 (CYP450), anti-lipopolysaccharide factor (ALF) and C-type lysozyme (C-LZM) mRNA of crayfish compared with the control group during the feeding experiment. When subjected to MC-LR stress for 48 h, the mRNA expression levels of SOD, GPx, Se-GPx, glutathione-s-transferase 1 (GST1), ALF, hemocyanin (HEM), and C-LZM in the hepatopancreas could be improved to varying degrees compared with the Diet 1. Supplementation of 1–2 g dw ELE kg (dw)−1 diet could improve the survival rate (SR) of crayfish under MC-LR stress. These results indicated that dietary ELE (1–2 g dw ELE kg (dw)−1 diet) could improve the growth performance, muscle protein, and non-specific immune response and increase the SR of crayfish under MC-LR stress by regulating the mRNA expression levels of the immune- and antioxidant-related genes.

The dose-dependent effect of 1.5-GHz microwave exposure on spatial memory and the NMDAR pathway in Wistar rats - Hui Wang; Lequan Song; Li Zhao; Haoyu Wang; Xinping Xu; Ji Dong; Jing Zhang; Binwei Yao; Xuelong Zhao; Ruiyun Peng (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
A certain power of microwave radiation could cause changes in the nervous, cardiovascular, and other systems of the body, and the brain was a sensitive target organ of microwave radiation injury. Studies have shown that microwaves can impair cognitive functions in humans and animals, such as learning and memory, attention, and orientation. The dose-dependent effect of microwave radiation is still unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the effects of 1.5-GHz microwaves with different average power densities on locative learning and memory abilities, hippocampal structure, and related N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) signalling pathway proteins in rats. A total number of 140 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: S group (sham exposure), L5 group (1.5-GHz microwaves with average power density = 5 mW/cm 2 ), L30 group (1.5-GHz microwaves with average power density = 30 mW/cm 2 ), and L50 group (1.5-GHz microwaves with average power density = 50 mW/cm 2 ). Changes in spatial learning and memory, EEG activity, hippocampal structure, and NMDAR signalling pathway molecules were detected from 6 h to 28 d after microwave exposure. After exposure to 1.5-GHz microwaves, rats in the L30 and L50 groups showed impaired spatial memory, inhibited EEG activity, pyknosis and hyperchromatism of neuron nucleus, and changes in NMDAR subunits and downstream signalling molecules. In conclusion, 1.5-GHz microwaves with an average power density of 5, 30, and 50 mW/cm 2 could induce spatial memory dysfunction, hippocampal structure changes, and changes in protein levels in rats, and there was a defined dose-dependent effect.

Cloning and Expression of Sox2 and Sox9 in Embryonic and Gonadal Development of Lutraria sieboldii - Min Lu; Zenghou Xing; Yurui Zhou; Youhou Xu; Huijing Peng; Jie Zou; Solomon Felix Dan; Zhicai She; Pengliang Wang; Jinfeng Liu; Shaomin Qin; Jialin Yang; et al. (Fishes, 2022)
The Sox family plays essential roles as transcription factors in vertebrates; however, little is known about the Sox family in Lutraria sieboldii. L. sieboldii are pleasant to eat with a short growth cycle and have become one of the best bottom-seeded enrichment species in Guang Xi. In this study, Sox2 (named LsSox2) and Sox9 (named LsSox9) from L. sieboldii were cloned, and their expression patterns were analyzed. The length of the LsSox2 gene coding sequence was 1011 bp, encoding 336 amino acids, and LsSox9 was 1449 bp, encoding 482 amino acids. LsSox2 had its highest expression levels in the ovary, which were 356 times those in testis, whereas LsSox9 presented higher expression in testis, which was 6 times more highly expressed than in the ovary. LsSox2 exhibited the highest expression during the morula stage, which was 20 times that of the D-shaped larvae or zygote. LsSox9 exhibited two expression peaks, one at the four-cell stage and the other at the trochophore stage, while the lowest expression was in the zygote. LsSox9 was 73 times more highly expressed in the four-cell stage than in the zygote stage. During gonadal development, LsSox2 presented the highest expression in the mature ovary, which was 756 times more highly expressed than in mature testis. LsSox9 presented higher expression in testis at the emission stage which was 6 times more highly expressed than in the ovary. These results indicate that LsSox2 and LsSox9 may play important roles in embryonic and gonadal development.

Numerical studies on wake and turbulence characteristics of aquaculture nets - Lingyun Xu; Peng Li; Hongde Qin; Zhijing Xu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
This paper aims to understand the drag coefficient discrepancy between the equivalent-twine and twisted-twine nets based on their wake and turbulence characteristics. To that end, we conduct unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) and the second-moment (Reynolds stress, RSM) simulations at a Reynolds number, Re =4.5×10 3 , based on the effective diameter of the net twine, which corresponds to the subcritical flow regime. Then, the vortex structures and the turbulence statistics are assessed at AOA=90°. The results highlight that the wake interactions for the twisted-twine net are relatively strong compared to the equivalent-twine net, due to the disturbance of the helixes on the twisted twines. In comparison to the classical Karman vortex, the overall vortex shedding of these two nets is well organized. Symmetric vortices form behind the equivalent-twine net, while single vortices form behind the twisted-twine net. Moreover, the Reynolds normal and shear stresses show symmetric and anti-symmetric profiles. The addition of helixes to smooth circular cylinders changes the flow development, leading to a decrease of turbulence kinetic energy. With this understanding, engineers need to be carefully select the net type for preliminary design of marine aquaculture cages to avoid over- or underestimation of the drag forces.

Scaling-up and proteomic analysis reveals photosynthetic and metabolic insights toward prolonged H2 photoproduction in Chlamydomonas hpm91 mutant lacking proton gradient regulation 5 (PGR5) - Peng Liu; De-Min Ye; Mei Chen; Jin Zhang; Xia-He Huang; Li-Li Shen; Ke-Ke Xia; Xiao-Jing Xu; Yong-Chao Xu; Ya-Long Guo; Ying-Chun Wang; Fang Huang (Photosynthesis Research, 2022)
Clean and sustainable H 2 production is crucial to a carbon–neutral world. H 2 generation by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is an attractive approach for solar-H 2 from H 2 O. However, it is currently not large-scalable because of lacking desirable strains with both optimal H 2 productivity and sufficient knowledge of underlying molecular mechanism. We hereby carried out extensive and in-depth investigations of H 2 photoproduction of hpm91 mutant lacking PGR5 (Proton Gradient Regulation 5) toward its up-scaling and fundamental mechanism issues. We show that hpm91 is at least 100-fold scalable (up to 10 L) with continuous H 2 collection of 7287 ml H 2 /10L-HPBR in averagely 26 days under sulfur deprivation. Also, we show that hpm91 is robust and active during sustained H 2 photoproduction, most likely due to decreased intracellular ROS relative to wild type. Moreover, we obtained quantitative proteomic profiles of wild type and hpm91 at four representing time points of H 2 evolution, leading to 2229 and 1350 differentially expressed proteins, respectively. Compared to wild type, major proteome alterations of hpm91 include not only core subunits of photosystems and those related to anti-oxidative responses but also essential proteins in photosynthetic antenna, C/N metabolic balance, and sulfur assimilation toward both cysteine biosynthesis and sulfation of metabolites during sulfur-deprived H 2 production. These results reveal not only new insights of cellular and molecular basis of enhanced H 2 production in hpm91 but also provide additional candidate gene targets and modules for further genetic modifications and/or in artificial photosynthesis mimics toward basic and applied research aiming at advancing solar-H 2 technology.

Effect of water temperature on embryonic development of Protunus trituberculatus in an off-season breeding mode - Jie He; Litao Wan; Huaihua Yu; Yingying Peng; Dongxu Zhang; Wenjun Xu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Portunus trituberculatus (swimming crab) is an important breeding crab in China. The current breeding mode of swimming crab is still the traditional “spring seedling and winter harvest” breeding mode. In recent years, researchers have begun to explore a new off-season breeding mode through autumn seedling. In this study, the rate of embryonic development, embryo antioxidant ability and hatching rate of swimming crab in different water temperatures in an off-season breeding mode (breeding in early autumn) and digestive enzyme activity of newly hatched larvae were compared. The results showed that the duration of each development stage of swimming crab embryos was gradually reduced with increasing water temperature. The total development time was 9.43 d at 27°C and only 6.88 d at 33°C. These effects were accompanied by an increase in the development rate from 0.11 d -1 to 0.15 d -1 . The total effective accumulated temperature under the 4 temperature conditions was basically maintained at about 150°C·d (147.08 ∼ 153.62°C·d), and there was no significant difference between different groups. The development of embryos at 27°C and 29°C was very synchronous, and no abnormal embryos were observed. Conversely, at 31°C, the later stage of development exhibited asynchrony, and diapause and death were noted in some embryos. At 33°C, more embryos died. The embryo hatching rate was approximately 70% at 27°C and 29°C, and the rate was significantly reduced at 31°C and 33°C. Specifically, the rate was only 13.89% at 33°C. As the water temperature increased, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) as well as the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels of embryos increased first and then decreased, reaching the highest value at 31°C. Catalase (CAT) activity exhibited the opposite trend which was the lowest at 29 °C with a value of only 0.17 U/mg prot and the highest at 33°C with a value of up to 0.51 U/mg prot. At temperatures of 27°C, 29°C and 31°C, the differences in various digestive enzymes of newly hatched larvae primarily manifested as the high activities of pepsin (PEP) and α-amylase (AMS) at 31°C, and other differences were not obvious. At 33°C during embryonic development, the activities of various digestive enzymes were relatively low, especially the activities of trypsin (TPS) and cellulase (CL), which were significantly lower than those of the other three temperature groups. Therefore, judging from the antioxidant index of embryos and the digestive enzyme activity of newly hatched larvae, the embryonic development was still good when the water temperature was 31°C, accompanied by water temperatures above 31°C that seriously affected enzyme activity. Overall, a temperature below 31°C represents the appropriate temperature for embryonic development in autumn in swimming crabs.

A case study of offshore wind turbine positioning optimization methodology using a novel multi-stage approach - Xiaosen Xu; Lin Du; Zhongyu Zhang; Jiayang Gu; Yihan Xing; Oleg Gaidai; Peng Dou (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
This investigation maximize the annual energy production (AEP) of a wind farm’s layout at a specific site using a novel multi-stage approach. The downstream wind turbines’ energy production decreases due to the reduced wind speed and turbulence created by the upstream wind turbines’ wakes. The wake interference from wind turbines causes the reduction of overall power efficiency. This paper provides a novel multi-stage strategy for the optimal layouts generated by heuristic algorithms to address this problem. A comparison of the proposed multi-stage approach to previous optimization algorithms is presented to demonstrate its efficiency using three referenced cases and one potential wind farm in the Gulf of Maine. The results demonstrate that applying the proposed multi-stage approach increases AEP and decreases computational time compared to previous research and optimization algorithms, which is crucial for large-scale offshore wind farm layout design and optimization.

Analysis of Cyclic Shear Stress–Displacement Mechanical Properties of Silt–Steel Interface in the Yellow River Delta - Peng Yu; Jie Dong; Haisong Liu; Rui Xu; Rujie Wang; Meijun Xu; Hongjun Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Pile foundations of offshore structures are often subjected to cyclic loads under storm loads, thus reducing their vertical bearing capacity. Therefore, studying the cyclic shear behavior of the soil–structure interface is important for maintaining the stability of offshore structures. A series of cyclic shear tests of the silt–steel interface were carried out using a large interface shear apparatus. The effects of various factors (i.e., normal stress, shear displacement amplitude, roughness, and water content) on the shear stress characteristics of the silt–steel interface were investigated. The stress–displacement model of the cyclic shear silt–steel interface was deduced. The results showed that the shear stress at the silt–steel interface was softened, and the type of bulk deformation was shear shrinkage under cyclic shear. With the increase in shear amplitude, the hysteresis curve gradually developed from “parallelogram” to “shuttle” and “hysteresis cake”. With the increase in normal stress and roughness and the decrease in water content, the interfacial shear strength, volume displacements growth rate, and growth rate increased. The stress–displacement mathematical model of the silt–steel interface based on the modified hyperbolic model was in good agreement with the test data.

Biocrust diazotrophs and bacteria rather than fungi are sensitive to chronic low N deposition - Xiaoying Rong; Xiaobing Zhou; Xiangzhen Li; Minjie Yao; Yongxing Lu; Peng Xu; Benfeng Yin; Yonggang Li; Zachary T. Aanderud; Yuanming Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Anthropogenic long‐term nitrogen (N) deposition may dramatically impact biocrusts due to the overarching N limitation of soil biota in deserts. Even low levels of N may reach a critical loading threshold altering biocrust constituents and function. To identify the impact of chronic and continuous low levels of N deposition on biocrusts, we created a realistic gradient mirroring anthropogenic N addition rate (2:1 NH 4 + : NO 3 − rates: 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 3 g N m −2 yr −1 ) and measured the response of bacteria and fungi within cyanobacterial‐dominated biocrusts over 8 years in a temperate desert, the Gurbantunggut Desert, China. We found that once N deposition reached 1.5 g N m −2 yr −1 biocrust bacterial communities, including diazotrophs, were altered while no such tipping point existed for fungi. Above the threshold, bacterial richness was enhanced, the relative abundance of Chloroflexi, FBP and Gemmatimonadetes was elevated, and diazotrophs shifted from being dominated by Nostocaceae and Scytonemataceae (Cyanobacteria) to free‐living Bradyrhizobiaceae (Alphaproteobacteria). Alternatively, the relative recovery of a few fungal species within the Lecanorales, Pleosporales and Verrucariales became either enriched or diminished due to N deposition. The chronic addition of N resulted in a dense and interconnected bacterial co‐occurrence network that accentuated a functional shift from networks dominated by phototrophic species within the Nostocaceae, Xenococcaceae, Phormidiaceae and Scytonemataceae (Cyanobacteria) to ammonia‐oxidizing species within the Nitrosomonadaceae (Betaproteobacteria) and nitrifying bacteria [i.e. Nitrospiraceae (Nitrospirae)]. Based on structural equation models, the effects of N additions on biocrust constituents were imposed through indirect effects on pH, soil electrical conductivity and ammonium concentrations. In summary, biocrust constituents are generally insensitive to chronic low levels of N depositions until rates reach above 1.5 g N m −2 yr −1 with diazotrophs being the most sensitive biocrust constituents followed by bacteria and finally fungi. Ultimately once the threshold is reached N deposition favours biocrust constituents utilizing inorganic N and other C sources over relying on phototrophic and/or N‐fixing cyanobacteria for C and N.

Efficient Underwater Sensor Data Recovery Method for Real-Time Communication Subsurface Mooring System - Peng Luo; Yuanjie Song; Xiaoyang Xu; Chen Wang; Shaowei Zhang; Yeqiang Shu; Yonggui Ma; Chong Shen; Chuan Tian (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Marine submerged buoys can effectively obtain various parameters of seawater, which plays an important role in the research of marine physical phenomena, marine environmental changes, and climate change. However, traditional self-contained submerged buoys usually work underwater at a depth of about 100 m, and the observation data cannot be obtained before their recovery, which cannot satisfy the needs of real-time data acquisition for marine scientific research. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a real-time communication subsurface mooring system that consists of a satellite communication buoy (SCB), conductivity–temperature–depth sensors (CTD), and an inductive coupling mooring cable. The underwater inductive coupling link collects the data from the underwater sensors and transmit it to the SCB. Then, the data will be transmitted to the station receiver via satellite communication module integrated into the SCB. In order to ensure a high success rate of data recovery, the stress analysis and hydrodynamic simulation of the SCB were carried out in this paper. The results show that the SCB maintained a relatively stable attitude in the 3–4 sea state. The attitude data obtained from the subsequent sea trial was consistent with the simulation results, and the success rate of satellite communication during this period was more than 95%. In this paper, a modular embedded hardware circuit was designed to meet the functional requirements of the subsurface mooring system. An efficient data recovery strategy was also developed, which ensured that the average power consumption of the system was low and the success rate of data recovery is not less than 90% when operating in the severe sea state for a long time. The system underwent sea trials in the South China Sea for more than 3 months from the end of 2021 to the beginning of 2022. It transmitted more than 2034 sets of seawater profile temperature, salinity, and depth data in real-time, with a success rate of over 91% of the total sample data. The CTD data returned in real-time from our system is consistent with the data of the HYCOM and World Ocean Atlas (WOA), and a cyclonic mesoscale eddy was detected in the operation area.

Hydrodynamical transport structure and lagrangian connectivity of circulations in the Pearl River Estuary - Nanyang Chu; Guangliang Liu; Jie Xu; Peng Yao; Yan Du; Zhiqiang Liu; Zhongya Cai (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Using a three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic model, this study explored the seasonal hydrodynamic transport structure in the Pearl River Estuary and illustrated the intrinsic connectivity under multiscale motions from a Lagrangian perspective. Generally, the surface Lagrangian residual current (U L ) is uniformly southwestward/southeastward in summer/winter, with a stronger intensity in the lower estuary. The bottom U L features in the southeastward direction in the upper estuary and northwest direction in the lower estuary. The fluvial–tide interaction line advances southeastward and northwestward in summer and winter, respectively. The U L captured the major transport processes and was in good agreement with the mean surface sediment transport patterns. In the transition region between Lantau Island and Neilingding Island, where it is largely affected by the interaction between the periodic tidal current and river discharge, the spatially averaged U L showed intensified intratidal variations and had a larger difference with the locally temporally averaged Eulerian residual current. The remarkable Lagrangian coherent structures that illustrated the transport paths and transport convergence regions were identified, which are generally consistent with the bottom sediment depocenters. Based on the Lagrangian connectivity analysis, it was revealed that a barrier between the western and eastern estuaries existed, which was weakened by the strong river discharge during summer. Two convergence regions near the Macau and Hong Kong waters were identified, where the sediment and pollutants easily settled. The study demonstrated the importance of the Lagrangian view in understanding the hydrodynamic process and transport structure in the estuary–shelf regions.

Effect of Water Area and Waterweed Coverage on the Growth of Pond-Reared Eriocheir sinensis - Yongcheng Tang; Jiao Peng; Jiahao Chen; Yunlin Zhao; Yi Ding; Jingyi Dai; Zhiyuan Hu; Tian Huang; Meng Dong; Zhenggang Xu (Fishes, 2022)
Water area and waterweed coverage are the key environmental factors for ecological breeding of Eriocheir sinensis in ponds. In order to explore the effects of above two factors on the growth of E. sinensis, three groups of experiments were set up: low coverage small area (C1S1), high coverage small area (C2S1), and high coverage large area (C2S2), and water environmental factors and the growth of E. sinensis were monitored. The results showed that the dissolved oxygen of ponds with different waterweed coverage was significantly different (p

Exotic fishes that are phylogenetically close but functionally distant to native fishes are more likely to establish - Meng Xu; Shao‐peng Li; Jaimie T. A. Dick; Dangen Gu; Miao Fang; Yexin Yang; Yinchang Hu; Xidong Mu (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Since Darwin's time, degree of ecological similarity between exotic and native species has been assumed to affect the establishment success or failure of exotic species. However, a direct test of the effect of exotic–native similarity on establishment of exotics is scarce because of the difficulty in recognizing failures of species to establish in the field. Here, using a database on the establishment success and failure of exotic fish species introduced into 673 freshwater lakes, we evaluate the effect of similarity on the establishment of exotic fishes by combining phylogenetic and functional information. We illustrate that, relative to other biotic and abiotic factors, exotic–native phylogenetic and functional similarities were the most important correlates of exotic fish establishment. While phylogenetic similarity between exotic and resident fish species promoted successful establishment, functional similarity led to failure of exotics to become established. Those exotic species phylogenetically close to, but functionally distant from, native fishes were most likely to establish successfully. Our findings provide a perspective to reconcile Darwin's naturalization conundrum and suggest that, while phylogenetic relatedness allows exotic fish species to pre‐adapt better to novel environments, they need to possess distinct functional traits to reduce competition with resident native fish species.

On the Sparse Gradient Denoising Optimization of Neural Network Models for Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis Illustrated by a Ship Propulsion System - Shuangzhong Wang; Ying Zhang; Bin Zhang; Yuejun Fei; Yong He; Peng Li; Mingqiang Xu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The drive rolling bearing is an important part of a ship’s system; the detection of the drive rolling bearing is an important component in ship-fault diagnosis, and machine learning methods are now widely used in the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings. However, training methods based on small batches have a disadvantage in that the samples which best represent the gradient descent direction can be disturbed by either other samples in the opposite direction or anomalies. Aiming at this problem, a sparse denoising gradient descent (SDGD) optimization algorithm, based on the impact values of network nodes, was proposed to improve the updating method of the batch gradient. First, the network is made sparse by using the node weight method based on the mean impact value. Second, the batch gradients are clustered via a distribution-density-based clustering method. Finally, the network parameters are updated using the gradient values after clustering. The experimental results show the efficiency and feasibility of the proposed method. The SDGD model can achieve up to a 2.35% improvement in diagnostic accuracy compared to the traditional network diagnosis model. The training convergence speed of the SDGD model improves by 2.16%, up to 17.68%. The SDGD model can effectively solve the problem of falling into the local optimum point while training a network.

Living Status and Perspective of the Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) in the Lower Reach of the Yangtze River: Insights from Population Distribution, Age Structure, and Habitat Preference Analyses - Di-an Fang; Haibo Sun; Yunxin Peng; Zhen Kuang; Yanfeng Zhou; Dongpo Xu (Fishes, 2022)
Using systemic, periodic surveys from 2015 to 2019, population distribution, speculated age and habitat preference were analyzed to assess the living status for the Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) in the lower Yangtze River. Small Silver Carps became more temporarily abundant in spring and autumn, and the catch per unit effort (CPUE) fluctuated yearly. Spatially, going from Anqing (AQ) to Changshu (CS), Silver Carps in the 200 mm standard length(SL) group became less abundant, whereas those in the 400–600 mm and >600 mm SL groups steadily increased. According to the Von Bertalanffy growth equation, the Silver Carp exhibits isometric growth, and the inflection point of SL and body weight (BW) were 564.01mm and 2948.31g, respectively, with a growth characteristic index (φ) of 5.0655. The fish dominant age range was 0+ to 5 years, reflecting the young age composition of the fish. Furthermore, the habitat survey findings revealed that the Silver Carp has the different preference on habitat selection in different life history. Juvenile Silver Carps were comparatively staying in the lower Yangtze River, where there exists a relatively stable bifurcated river. Adult fishes were mostly found in the CS and Nantong(NT) section where the river is wide and the food is rich. When compared with the historical survey data, it was found that the Silver Carp live in the AQ through NT section. The living status and perspective of the Silver Carp in the lower reach of the Yangtze River were clarified, and future work should be more concerned with the strengthening of conservation and the restoration of adequate habitat.

Unraveling environmental drivers of chlorophyll seasonal and interannual variability in the East China Sea - Yi Xu; Ying Wu; Peng Xiu; Jianzhong Ge; Jing Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Phytoplankton, the dominant marine primary producers, are considered highly sensitive indicators of ecosystem conditions and changes. The East China Sea (ECS) includes a variety of oceanic and coastal domains that collectively challenge our understanding of phytoplankton dynamics and controls. This study evaluates the seasonal and interannual variability of phytoplankton in the ECS and the underlying environmental determinants based on 22-year satellite chlorophyll (Chl -a ) data and concurrent environmental variables. A seasonal spring bloom was found in the ECS, classically driven by increased stratification, which is associated with increases in sea surface temperature (SST), photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), net heat flux (NHF), and reduced wind mixing. The most significant Chl -a interannual variability was present in a triangular area surrounded by three SST fronts in the southern ECS during springtime. Anomalously high Chl -a (~30% increase) occurred with increased SST and NHF and enhanced wind mixing during negative Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) modes. This seems to be contrary to the stratification control model, which fits the seasonal spring bloom observed in this region. More front activities during the negative PDO and ENSO could be associated with Chl -a increase in this triangular area. Contrary to this mixing control scenario, a significant Chl -a increase (~36% increase) also developed during the positive PDO and ENSO modes after 2014 under conditions of higher SST, NHF, and weaker wind mixing following the stratification control scenario. This study used biologically relevant objective regionalization of a heterogeneous area to elucidate phytoplankton bloom dynamics and controls. Our analyses highlight the triangular area in the ECS for its region-specific linkages between Chl -a and multiple climate-sensitive environmental drivers, as well as the potential structural and functional variability in this region.

Effect of Service Priority on the Integrated Continuous Berth Allocation and Quay Crane Assignment Problem after Port Congestion - Shuang Tang; Sudong Xu; Jianwen Gao; Mengdi Ma; Peng Liao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Container seaport congestion is a challenging problem in improving the service level and optimizing evacuating container vessels after congestion. There is a lack of research on container vessel evacuation strategies for continuous terminals. In this article, the weight of the objective function is regarded as the index for the service priority of vessels. The effects of the service priority on the continuous terminal are analyzed by establishing a mixed integer programming model. The model minimizes the total weighted delay departure time of vessels. Two sets of weight values are adopted, including handling volume of each ship and the squared handling volume, then the optimization results are compared with the unweighted scenario. The model is solved using a genetic algorithm. Lianyungang Port is selected as a case study. The results show that the method using the square of handled container volume is more conducive to ensuring the shipping period of large vessels after congestion. Besides, the quay crane number of large vessels affecting the scheduling strategy is discussed. The method proposed in this article provides a new idea for arranging scheduling strategies in other ports under congestion situations, which can better ensure the planned shipping period of large vessels.

Effects of feed transition on digestive tract digestive enzyme, morphology and intestinal community in cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) - Maowang Jiang; Wencheng Xiao; Jingtao Ye; Liting Xu; Ruibing Peng; Qingxi Han; Zhenming Lü; Huilai Shi; Xiamin Jiang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Sepia pharaonis is an excellent candidate for aquaculture in China. However, the low survival rate during early feed transition is a bottleneck restricting industrial development. Understanding the changes in digestive physiology and intestinal microflora during feed transition should enable us to meet their nutritional needs to improve production. In this study, we investigate the digestive enzyme of S. pharaonis and undertake histological observations of the digestive gland and intestine. The intestinal microflora 16S rRNA genes were also analyzed using high-throughput sequencing of the pre, mid, and post-feed transition stages (20, 40, and 60 days post-hatching (DPH), respectively). The digestive enzymes from the digestive gland (trypsin and chymotrypsin) rapidly decrease at 40 DPH when compared to their levels at 20 DPH, but mostly recovered by 60 DPH. The alkaline phosphatase and lipase increased sharply by 40 DPH, then peaked at 60 DPH. The intestinal digestive enzymes followed similar trends during feed transition, except for lipase activity, which decreased after 20 DPH and remained low, even at 60 DPH. Feed transition affects the morphogenesis of the digestive tract and feed transition stress leads to the impairment of the digestive gland and intestinal morphology, which reduces the digestive capacity, but almost totally recovers by 60 DPH. Moreover, the comparison of the intestinal microbial composition during feed transition revealed that the dominant phylum Bacteroidetes gradually increased to a peak at 40 DPH and then decreased until 60 DPH. The microbial composition changed with the most abundant genus Pseudomonas being replaced by Acinetobacter . The phylum and family level investigation suggested the microbiota in the rearing water had limited influence on the intestinal microbiota. The intestinal microbiota diversity increased during feed transition. This study improves our understanding of changes and adaptations in cuttlefish during feed transition.

Negative air ion exposure ameliorates depression-like behaviors induced by chronic mild stress in mice - Yun-Qing Hu; Ting-Ting Niu; Jian-ming Xu; Li Peng; Qing-Hua Sun; Ying Huang; Ji Zhou; Yu-Qiang Ding (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
The presence of negative air ions (NAI) is suggested to be a beneficial factor in improving psychological status and used in treating depression as an alternative approach. However, more biological evidence from animal models is needed to ensure the effects of NAI on the mood regulation, through which can facilitate identification of possible underlying mechanisms. In this study, the chronic mild stress (CMS) protocol was used to induce depressive-like behaviors in mice, and the effects of NAI exposure on CMS-induced depression-like behaviors were examined. Thirty-day NAI exposure prevented the CMS-induced depression-like behaviors as shown by the restoration of sucrose preference and reduced immobility time in the tail suspension test. In addition, the elevation of serous corticosterone was present in CMS-treated mice but not existed in those with the NAI exposure. Furthermore, we observed altered ratios of some cytokines secreted by type 1 T helper (Th1) cells and Th2 cells in CMS-treated mice, but it could be restored after NAI exposure. In conclusion, NAI intervention is able to ameliorate CMS-induced depression-like behaviors in mice, and this effect is associated with the alteration of corticosterone and functional rebalance between Th1 and Th2 cells.

Tree growth is connected with distribution and warming‐induced degradation of permafrost in southern Siberia - Ruonan Peng; Hongyan Liu; Oleg A. Anenkhonov; Denis V. Sandanov; Andrey Yu. Korolyuk; Liang Shi; Chongyang Xu; Jingyu Dai; Lu Wang (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Hemiboreal and boreal forests growing at the southern margin of the permafrost distribution are vulnerable to climate warming. However, how climate warming threatens the growth of dominant tree species that are distributed on permafrost remains to be determined, particularly in synchrony with warming‐induced permafrost degradation. Tree growth in the permafrost region of southern Siberia was hypothesized to be highly sensitive to temperature increasing and warming‐induced permafrost degradation. To test this hypothesis, we sampled the tree ring width of 535 trees of dominant species, larch (including Larix gmelinii and L. sibirica ) and white birch ( Betula platyphylla ), in ten hemiboreal to boreal forest plots within different permafrost zones. The relationships between the tree ring basal area index (BAI) and temperature, precipitation, and the Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) were compared among plots located in two permafrost zones. In the isolated permafrost zone, white birch grows better than larch and is not drought‐stressed ( p p

Multi-Omics Data Reveal Amino Acids Related Genes in the Common Carp Cyprinus carpio - Hanyuan Zhang; Youxiu Zhu; Peng Xu; Zixia Zhao; Jianxin Feng; Biyin Wu; Yanliang Jiang; Chuanju Dong; Jian Xu (Fishes, 2022)
Amino acids have important physiological effects on fish growth and development and are essential nutrition for humans. Flavor-related amino acids, such as glutamic acid and glycine, could have a significant effect on the taste of fish flesh. However, studies on the genetic mechanisms of amino acid metabolism in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) are still limited. This study identified divergent patterns on the genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic levels in two groups of common carp with different amino acid contents. After genome-wide association analysis, a total of 62 genes was found to be associated with glycine, proline and tyrosine content. Transcriptome analysis of essential amino acids, branched-chain amino acids and flavor-related amino acids were performed using brain, liver and muscle tissues, resulting in 1643 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing identified 3108 genes with differentially methylated promoters (DMPs). After the enrichment analysis, a series of pathways associated with amino acid metabolism, including growth regulation, lipid metabolism and the citrate cycle, was revealed. Integrated studies showed a strong correlation between DEGs and DMPs for amino acid contents in brain and muscle tissues. These multi-omics data revealed candidate genes and pathways related to amino acid metabolism in C. carpio.

Starch accumulation dynamics and transcriptome analysis of Chlorella sorokiniana during transition of sulfur nutritional status - Haiqing Xu; Jinzhi Yang; Xu Wang; Qing Peng; Yanxia Han; Xudong Liu; Kexin Liu; Shijuan Dou; Liyun Li; Guozhen Liu; Ming Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Microalgae can effectively accumulate starch by using nutritional limitation methods in the context of bioalcohol fuel production. However, relatively few studies have focused on starch accumulation in microalgae and its molecular basis, especially under sulfur limitation conditions. In this study, the starch accumulation dynamics and physiological responses of Chlorella sorokiniana under sulfur starvation (SS) and sulfur replenishment (SR) conditions were investigated, and the genes involved in the transcriptional regulation were explored using RNA-seq. The starch content in C. sorokiniana cells significantly increased from 1.6% to 55.0% of dry weight within 24 h under SS conditions, and then, it decreased to 3.4% within 12 h after transition to SR conditions. However, cell growth was inhibited, and pigment content decreased under SS conditions. Using RNA-seq analysis, a total of 9720 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) induced by sulfur status were obtained. These genes were narrowed down to 454 starvation and replenishment cross-validated (SRV)-DEGs, among which 283 SRV-DEGs were significantly up-regulated and 171 SRV-DEGs were down-regulated under SS conditions, and returned to their previous state under SR conditions. The SRV-DEGs enriched in the sulfate metabolism pathway were all up-regulated under SS conditions after 6 h to speed up the sulfur metabolic cycle, and the transcriptional abundance of a sulfate transporter (SULTR4), cysteine synthase[O-acetylserine(thiol)-lyase] (OASTL), serine acetyltransferase (SAT), and methanethiol oxidase (SELENBP1) increased 8.6-fold, 12.6-fold, 8.7-fold, and 12.4-fold, respectively. Protein synthesis was correspondingly inhibited, which resulted in the reallocation of carbon and elevated the starch synthesis pathway, in which the expressions of glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) and starch synthase (SS) were up-regulated 12.0- and 3.0-fold, respectively. The fatty acid desaturase (FAD) and phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) in the lipid synthesis pathway were strongly up-regulated 8.8- and 16.2-fold, respectively, indicating the competitive synthesis of lipids. The down-regulation of SRV-DEGs associated with carbon fixation, such as those in the Calvin cycle, possibly affected cell growth. The time-resolved transcriptional analysis identified the SRV-DEGs, revealing the underlying starch accumulation mechanism, as well as the relationship with cell growth and lipid synthesis.

Microbial community characteristics of the intestine and gills of medium-form populations of Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis in the South China Sea - Xiaojuan Hu; Haochang Su; Peng Zhang; Zuozhi Chen; Yu Xu; Wujie Xu; Jie Li; Guoliang Wen; Yucheng Cao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis (purpleback squid) is an excellent biological resource in the South China Sea. However, the microbiological characteristics of this South China Sea squid, especially those of the medium-form of different sexes and gonadal maturities, are poorly understood. In this study, the characteristics of the bacterial community in the intestinal and gill tissues of female and male S. oualaniensis with different gonadal maturities, collected from the Nansha Sea of China in spring 2020, were analyzed. The results showed that Tenericutes, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes were the dominant phyla in the intestinal microbial samples of female immature gonad (FN), male immature gonad (MN), and male sexual maturity (MY) samples of the S. oualaniensis populations. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Tenericutes were the dominant phyla in the intestinal microbial sample of the female sexual maturity (FY) group. The microbial community in the gills differed from that of the intestinal flora. The dominant phyla in the gill samples were Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes, regardless of sex or gonadal maturity. According to the random forest analysis, the gill samples had significantly ( p <0.001) more Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways in the top 20 than the intestinal samples. Correlation analysis showed that the mantle length of S. oualaniensis was significantly ( p <0.05) negatively correlated with the abundance of Tenericutes, but significantly ( p <0.01) positively correlated with Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. The mantle length of FY was significantly ( p <0.05) longer than that of the other types. The results indicated that the differences in the intestinal bacterial community were related to the growth and feeding characteristics of S. oualaniensis of different sexes and maturities.

Microbial Community Structure and Metabolic Characteristics of Intestine and Gills of Dwarf-Form Populations of Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis in South China Sea - Xiaojuan Hu; Haochang Su; Peng Zhang; Zuozhi Chen; Yu Xu; Wujie Xu; Jie Li; Guoliang Wen; Yucheng Cao (Fishes, 2022)
Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis is an important biological resource in the South China Sea. However, the microbiological characteristics of this squid, especially those of the dwarf-form, are poorly understood. This study was conducted to analyze the microbial community structure and metabolic characteristics of the intestinal and gill tissues of dwarf-form populations of S. oualaniensis. The dwarf-form squids of different sexes and gonadal maturities were collected from South China Sea in spring 2020. Results showed that Mycoplasma was the most dominant group of bacteria in the intestinal samples of the females with immature gonads (FN), females at sexual maturity (FY), and males at sexual maturity (MY) and the second-highest relative abundance group in males with immature gonads (MN). The microbial community structure in squid gills differed from that of intestinal flora. The BD1-7 clade was the dominant genus in gill samples of all groups. Furthermore, the microbial community activities in gills were higher than in intestinal groups, especially FYG. The larger dwarf-form populations had microbial communities with more robust utilization of carbon sources, assessed via average well color development (AWCD). Correlation and redundancy analysis determined that AWCD significantly positively correlated with the relative abundance of BD1-7 clade (p

A novel multi-dimensional reliability approach for floating wind turbines under power production conditions - Xiaosen Xu; Yihan Xing; Oleg Gaidai; Kelin Wang; Karan Sandipkumar Patel; Peng Dou; Zhongyu Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) generate green renewable energy and are a vital part of the modern offshore wind energy industry. Robust predicting extreme offshore loads during FOWT operations is an important safety concern. Excessive structural bending moments may occur during certain sea conditions, posing an operational risk of structural damage. This paper uses the FAST code to analyze offshore wind turbine structural loads due to environmental loads acting on a specific FOWT under actual local environmental conditions. The work proposes a unique Gaidai-Fu-Xing structural reliability approach that is probably best suited for multi-dimensional structural responses that have been simulated or measured over a long period to produce relatively large ergodic time series. In the context of numerical simulation, unlike existing reliability approaches, the novel methodology does not need to re-start simulation again each time the system fails. As shown in this work, an accurate forecast of the probability of system failure can be made using measured structural response. Furthermore, traditional reliability techniques cannot effectively deal with large dimensionality systems and cross-correction across multiple dimensions. The paper aims to establish a state-of-the-art method for extracting essential information concerning extreme responses of the FOWT through simulated time-history data. Three key components of structural loads are analyzed, including the blade-root out-of-plane bending moment, tower fore-aft bending moment, and mooring line tension. The approach suggested in this study allows predicting failure probability efficiently for a non-linear multi-dimensional dynamic system as a whole.

Evaluating the effectiveness of three national marine protected areas in the Yangtze River Delta, China - Xu Zeng; Jun Liang; Jiangning Zeng; Mingyang Chen; Cong Zeng; Makenzie Mazur; Shenghui Li; Zengjie Zhou; Wei Ding; Peng Ding; Ling Cao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
China’s coastal areas face serious environmental degradation as a consequence of large-scale economic development. To balance environmental sustainability with economic development, China is currently implementing a strategy of ‘eco-civilization’, with marine protected areas (MPAs) expected to be one approach to achieving sustainable marine ecosystems. Since the 1990s, China has established over 270 MPAs, but their effectiveness remains unknown, particularly in the Yangtze River Delta. This study modified pre-existing frameworks to evaluate the effectiveness of three national MPAs in the Yangtze River Delta. The modified framework includes conservation outcomes and their potential drivers. Drivers consist of – attributes species or ecosystems within the MPA, attributes of the MPA, institutional design principles, and participation. Five scenarios were proposed based on score combinations of the four drivers: proactive, well designed, well governed, interactive, and learning. All three MPAs achieved a satisfactory level of outcomes and most of the drivers for all three MPAs achieved a satisfactory level. Two of the MPAs were categorized into the learning scenario, and the third into the well-designed scenario, indicating that there is still room to improve institutional design principles and public participation. We suggest developing cost and benefit indicators to more deeply understand proportionality among stakeholders. In addition, the role of participation should be clarified and promoted. We recommend regular environmental performance monitoring and assessment to identify problems and optimize management.

Temporal Dynamics in Energy Fluxes and Trophic Structure of a Portunus trituberculatus Polyculture Ecosystem During Different Culture Periods - Jie Feng; Xiang-Li Tian; Shuang-Lin Dong; Rui-Peng He; Kai Zhang; Dong-Xu Zhang; Qing-Qi Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Swimming crab ( Portunus trituberculatus ) are an important aquaculture species in eastern coastal areas of China. To improve the understanding of P. trituberculatus culture ecosystem functioning, the dynamics of energy flow and trophic structure of a P. trituberculatus polyculture system (co-culture with white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and short-necked clam Ruditapes philippinarum ) were investigated in this study. Three Ecopath models representing the early, middle, and late culture periods of a P. trituberculatus polyculture ecosystem, respectively, were constructed to compare ecosystem traits at different culture periods. The results demonstrated that detritus was the main energy source in this polyculture ecosystem, and most of the total system throughput occurred at trophic levels I and II. Artificial food input and consumption by the culture organisms increased from early to middle and late periods, which produced marked impacts on biomass structure and primary production. R. philippinarum was considered to have a dominant influence on phytoplankton community dynamics which changed from nano- to pico-phytoplankton predominance, from the middle to the late period. Considering the low utilization efficiency of pico-phytoplankton production, large amounts of detritus accumulated in the sediment in the late period, which may constitute a potential risk for the ecosystem. Ecological network analyses indicated that the total energy flow and level of system organization increased from the early to the middle and late periods, whereas food web complexity and system resilience decreased from early to middle and late periods, which may indicate a trend of decreasing ecosystem stability. The system may be further optimized by increased stocking density of R. philippinarum and by introducing macro-algae at a suitable biomass to increase ecosystem stability, energy utilization efficiency, and aquaculture production.

Effects of Soybean Lecithin on Growth Performance, Intestine Morphology, and Liver Tissue Metabolism in Rock Bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) Larvae - Peng Tan; Pian Zhang; Lei Zhang; Wenliang Zhu; Ligai Wang; Ruiyi Chen; Qihui Zhu; Dongdong Xu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Investigations have demonstrated a strong and positive association between dietary intact phospholipid (PL) inclusion and aquatic larval growth, nevertheless, the precise molecular mechanism underlying PL inclusion on growth performance has not been well elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary soybean lecithin (SL) inclusion on growth performance, liver metabolism, resistance to hypoxia stress, and potential molecular mechanisms in rock bream ( Oplegnathus fasciatus ) larvae. Four types of equal-protein and equal-lipid content microdiets (MDs) were formulated with graded levels of SL to achieve phospholipid levels of (PLs, dry matter) 3.84% (SL0), 6.71% (SL4), 9.38% (SL8), and 12.21% (SL12). Rock bream larvae (25 days post-hatching) were fed the respective MDs for 30 days with three replicates. We found that dietary SL inclusion promoted growth performance, survival rate, and stress resistance to hypoxia stress. The increased dietary SL inclusion improved intestinal structure, as shown by the increased perimeter ratio, muscular thickness, and mucosal fold height of the mid-intestinal tissue. Moreover, a high SL inclusion diet (SL12) increased the activity of the key lipolysis-related enzyme (lipase [LP]) in liver tissue but decreased the activity of amino acid catabolism-related enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and alanine aminotransferase [ALT]). RNA sequencing results in liver tissue revealed that the SL12 diet increased the transcriptional level of fatty acid activation-related genes ( acsl6 and acsbg2 ), phospholipid catabolism-related genes ( acat2 , lpin2 , and crls ), and amino acid synthesis-related genes ( gs , csb , aldh18a1 , and oct ), but decreased the expression of amino acid catabolism-related gene gprt2 . Notably, the SL12 diet significantly increased the expression of ribosome biogenesis-related genes ( pes1 , nop56 , nop58 , and rpf2 ) in liver tissue. The ribosome protein-related pathways were the most enriched pathways mapped in the GO database. Collectively, this study demonstrated the necessity of dietary SL for survival, growth performance, promotion of mid-intestinal morphology, and hypoxia stress during the rock bream larval stage. The SL-induced growth performance promotion was likely attributed to increasing nutrient acquisition by intestinal morphology improvement and to increasing SL catabolism and thereby sparing amino acids for protein synthesis.

As a widespread natural disaster, drought has a significant impact on changes in regional vegetation cover. Based on 1‐month standardized precipitation index (SPI1), this study took the Yellow River basin (YRB) with frequent droughts as the research object, using NDVI data from 1999 to 2018, Mann–Kendall trend test, and correlation test to study the temporal and spatial characteristics of meteorological drought, explored the response of vegetation cover to meteorological drought, and further discussed the possible factors affecting meteorological drought. The results of the study showed that from 1999 to 2018, the SPI1 in the YRB had not increased significantly in a large area in different months ( p > .05). On the monthly time scale, the NDVI of the YRB gradually increased from north to south, showing a significant increasing trend the central area ( p p p

Contributions of oceanic and continental AAM to interannual variation in ΔLOD with the detection of 2020–2021 La Nina event - Xue-Qing Xu; Yong-Hong Zhou; Peng-Shuo Duan; Ming Fang; Zhao-Yang Kong; Can-Can Xu; Xian-Ran An (Journal of Geodesy, 2022)
As a strong climate element on interannual scales, the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a major component of global weather and climate change, and it is also closely related to the interannual atmospheric angular momentum (AAM) and length-of-day changes (ΔLOD). Here, we reprocess and compare the interannual variations of AAM, ΔLOD with ENSO indices, with AAM mass and motion terms calculated over land separately from those over the ocean. Three oscillatory components (at ~ 6, ~ 7, ~ 8 years), due to angular momentum changes in Earth's interior, are removed to obtain the interannual ΔLOD solely related to climatic variations. Our results show that the AAM motion term over the ocean contributes the most to interannual ΔLOD, and that the oceanic AAM has larger variability than that over land, especially during the periods of strong ENSO events. After subtracting contributions associated with interior processes, the interannual ΔLOD anomalies corresponding to extreme ENSO events (1982–1983 ~ 0.43, 1997–1998 ~ 0.36, 2015–2016 ~ 0.42 ms) are about half as strong as those found in previous studies (~ 0.91, ~ 0.76, ~ 0.81 ms). Furthermore, we detect an intermediate La Nina event that occurred from August 2020 to May 2021, forcing the interannual ΔLOD to a minimum value of approximately -0.21 ms.

Cannabidiol induces autophagy and improves neuronal health associated with SIRT1 mediated longevity - Zhizhen Wang; Peng Zheng; Xi Chen; Yuanyi Xie; Katrina Weston-Green; Nadia Solowij; Yee Lian Chew; Xu-Feng Huang (GeroScience, 2022)
Autophagy is a catabolic process to eliminate defective cellular molecules via lysosome-mediated degradation. Dysfunctional autophagy is associated with accelerated aging, whereas stimulation of autophagy could have potent anti-aging effects. We report that cannabidiol (CBD), a natural compound from Cannabis sativa , extends lifespan and rescues age-associated physiological declines in C. elegans . CBD promoted autophagic flux in nerve-ring neurons visualized by a tandem-tagged LGG-1 reporter during aging in C. elegans . Similarly, CBD activated autophagic flux in hippocampal and SH-SY5Y neurons. Furthermore, CBD-mediated lifespan extension was dependent on autophagy genes ( bec-1 , vps-34 , and sqst-1 ) confirmed by RNAi knockdown experiments. C. elegans neurons have previously been shown to accumulate aberrant morphologies, such as beading and blebbing, with increasing age. Interestingly, CBD treatment slowed the development of these features in anterior and posterior touch receptor neurons (TRN) during aging. RNAi knockdown experiments indicated that CBD-mediated age-associated morphological changes in TRNs require bec-1 and sqst-1 , not vps-34 . Further investigation demonstrated that CBD-induced lifespan extension and increased neuronal health require sir-2.1 /SIRT1. These findings collectively indicate the anti-aging benefits of CBD treatment, in both in vitro and in vivo models, and its potential to improve neuronal health and longevity.

The Identification of Fish Eggs From Four Economically Important Species in Guanghai Bay (China) - Yan-Jing Zheng; Xiao-Juan Peng; Wei-Xu Cai; Quan-Sheng Lou; Xiang-Li Lyu; Ying-Hua Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
By far, very few studies have dealt with the ichthyoplankton diversity in Guanghai Bay (China), which is a potential spawning ground for many important fish species. In this study, fish eggs collected in Guanghai Bay were identified through molecular method combined with visual taxonomic method. We employed two mitochondrial gene regions of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) as genetic markers for species identification. Through sequence identification at NCBI, 121 eggs with overlapping size range and easy to be confused were discriminated as four economically important species: seven as silver sillago Sillago sihama , 48 as black-banded sillago Sillago nigrofasciata , 38 as yellow drum Nibea albiflora , and 28 as Pacific seabream Acanthopagrus pacificus . Phylogenetic analyses showed that these 121 eggs clustered in four groups with strong support. To testify the validity of these identification results, species identification through five BarcodingR package methods was also carried out using sequences of 33 fish specimens as a reference library covering four target species. Finally, a highly consensus of species assignment results was achieved across different methods. Morphological characteristics and detailed photographs for eggs from these four species were supplied here. Eggs of each species are pelagic, round, have a smooth chorion and one single oil globule. Embryonic pigment patterns vary as eggs develop and can be used for species distinguishing. Eggs from S. nigrofasciata and A. pacificus were described for the first time in this study. One simple and accurate method for identifying N. albiflora eggs was additionally provided. Moreover, the morphological differences between two Sillago eggs offered supportive evidence for the recent separation of S. nigrofasciata as a new species from S. sihama . All these results would be critical for the discrimination of eggs from these four species and the estimation for their spawning areas. Meanwhile, our study would contribute to the stock assessment and fishery management in Guanghai Bay.

Identification of PDXDC1 as a novel pleiotropic susceptibility locus shared between lumbar spine bone mineral density and birth weight - Yu-Qian Song; Shi-Di Hu; Xu Lin; Xiang-He Meng; Xiao Wang; Yin-Hua Zhang; Cheng Peng; Rui Gong; Tao Xu; Tong Zhang; Chen-Zhong Li; Dao-Yan Pan; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2022)
An increasing number of epidemiological studies have suggested that birth weight (BW) may be a determinant of bone health later in life, although the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we applied a pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) approach to the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD) and BW, aiming to identify novel susceptibility variants shared between these two traits. We detected 5 novel potential pleiotropic loci which are located at or near 7 different genes ( NTAN1 , PDXDC1 , CACNA1G , JAG1 , FAT1P1 , CCDC170 , ESR1 ), among which PDXDC1 and FAT1P1 have not previously been linked to these phenotypes. To partially validate the findings, we demonstrated that the expression of PDXDC1 was dramatically reduced in ovariectomized (OVX) mice in comparison with sham-operated (SHAM) mice in both the growth plate and trabecula bone. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry assay with serial sections showed that both osteoclasts and osteoblasts express PDXDC1 , supporting its potential role in bone metabolism. In conclusion, our study provides insights into some shared genetic mechanisms for BMD and BW as well as a novel potential therapeutic target for the prevention of OP in the early stages of the disease development. Key messages We investigated pleiotropy-informed enrichment between LS BMD and BW. We identified genetic variants related to both LS BMD and BW by utilizing a cFDR approach. PDXDC1 is a novel pleiotropic gene which may be related to both LS BMD and BW. Elevated expression of PDXDC1 is related to higher BMD and lower ratio n-6/n-3 PUFA indicating a bone protective effect of PDXDC1.

Differences of Macroalgal Consumption by Eight Herbivorous Coral Reef Fishes From the Xisha Islands, China - Peng Wu; Teng Wang; Yong Liu; Chunhou Li; Yayuan Xiao; Shannan Xu; Tingting Han; Lin Lin; Qiumei Quan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Herbivorous fishes play an important role in preventing the overabundance of macroalgae on coral reefs. Understanding the feeding selectivity and consumption of macroalgae by herbivorous fishes can be challenging in studies of their ecological role in the preservation and recovery of coral reefs. Coral reef decline, macroalgal overgrowth and overfishing are clearly visible in the Xisha Islands, China. However, there are seldom studies on the feeding behaviors of herbivorous fishes in this area. We used microscopy, 18S rRNA high-throughput sequencing, and stable isotope analyses to comprehensively examine the diet of eight herbivorous reef fish species common in the Xisha Islands, including one parrotfish, two chub, two unicorn fish, and three rabbitfish. Based on microscopic examination, Siganus argenteus fed on the highest number of macroalgae species (five species), followed by Naso unicornis (four species). Kyphosus cinerascens , K. vaigiensis , N. unicornis and S. punctatissimus fed on the entire macroalgal thallus, indicating their greater ecological importance compared with species that only consume algal fronds. According to the 18S rRNA high-throughput sequencing of fish intestinal contents, cluster analysis revealed that consumed macroalgae composition from the eight fishes always grouped together based on the fish species, but with low similarity. K. vaigiensis removed the highest diversity of macroalgae species as well as the greatest quantity of macroalgae. Calotomus carolinus can consume the red alga Pneophyllum conicum , which is widely distributed on Indo-Pacific coral reefs and can overgrow and kill live corals. N. unicornis was found to occupy the lowest trophic position based on stable isotope analysis. Multi-technique analyses revealed that K. vaigiensis , N. unicornis and S. argenteus showed a high consumption potential of macroalgae, suggesting that they are the key browsers that should receive priority protection in the Xisha Islands. A diverse herbivorous fish fauna is also very important in the Xisha coral reefs. These results not only demonstrated the various functions of different herbivorous fish species in macroalgal removal, but also provided insights into the management of herbivorous fishes on the coral reefs of the South China Sea.

Stem cells have self-renewal ability and multi-directional differentiation potential. They have tissue repair capabilities and are essential for maintaining the tissue homeostasis. The depletion of stem cells is closely related to the occurrence of body aging and aging-related diseases. Therefore, revealing the molecular mechanisms of stem cell aging will set new directions for the therapeutic application of stem cells, the study of aging mechanisms, and the prevention and treatment of aging-related diseases. This review comprehensively describes the molecular mechanisms related to stem cell aging and provides the basis for further investigations aimed at developing new anti-stem cell aging strategies and promoting the clinical application of stem cells.

Transformation processes of biogenic dimethylated sulfur compounds in the northwestern Pacific continental sea - Qian‐Yao Ma; Hong‐Hai Zhang; Feng Xu; Gui‐Peng Yang (Limnology and Oceanography, 2022)
Biogenic dimethylated sulfur compounds, comprising dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), and dimethylsulfoxide, play a vital role in the physiological metabolism processes of marine algae, climate regulation, and global sulfur cycles, but the contribution of each transformation pathway and the factors that control them remain uncertain. For the first time, from 27 March 2017 to 15 April 2017, the rates of major transformation pathways of biogenic dimethylated sulfur compounds and the fluxes of DMS at the sea–air and seawater–sediment interfaces were measured simultaneously in the East China Continental Sea. Rapid biological turnover times of total DMSP (0.53 d), dissolved DMSP (0.29 d), and DMS (0.43 d) were observed, indicating that DMS and DMSP were renewed more than twice daily. Bacterial consumption contributed nearly 50% of the total DMSP loss, approximately 38% of which was converted into DMS. Microbial consumption, photolysis, and ventilation accounted for 56%, 34%, and 10% of DMS removal processes, respectively. Sediment had a small but positive flux of DMS, making the sediment‐seawater interface a tiny source of DMS to the water column. Finally, although only about 10% of DMS was emitted to the atmosphere, the study region was identified as a “hotspot” for atmospheric DMS. The DMS budget model of the mixed layer developed in this study has provided a systematic and comprehensive understanding of the organosulfur cycle in continental shelf seas.

Structural Analysis and Experimental Study on the Spherical Seal of a Subsea Connector Based on a Non-Standard O-Ring Seal - Dong Liu; Feihong Yun; Kefeng Jiao; Liquan Wang; Zheping Yan; Peng Jia; Xiangyu Wang; Weifeng Liu; Xiaoquan Hao; Xiujun Xu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Underwater oil and gas pipelines are prone to alignment differences and angle offsets during docking, and the spherical flange connector can address this problem. Its main function is to enable compensation of the different angles of the pipeline during docking and to apply a non-standard spherical sealing structure using O-rings to the connection. In this paper, the study of a spherical sealing structure using O-rings was based on a spherical structural model of the connector. The Mooney–Rivlin constitutive equation and material parameters of the O-ring were determined according to nonlinear theory. The structure of the non-standard spherical sealing groove was designed and analysed with reference to the standard sealing groove, the calculation expression of the spherical groove specific size was deduced, and the width and depth of the groove were determined. A finite element analysis of the non-standard O-ring sealing structure was carried out using ANSYS Workbench software; the effects of different pressures and compression ratios on the O-ring sealing performance were analysed and studied in terms of von Mises stress, contact pressure and contact width of different contact surfaces so as to determine a more reasonable compression ratio in the sealing structure. Finally, the theoretical analysis of the non-standard spherical sealing structure using O-rings was validated by testing, and it was proven that it could maintain a good seal under high pressure.

Uncertainties Associated With Simulating Regional Sea Surface Height and Tides: A Case Study of the East China Seas - Long Jiang; Xinyu Lu; Wenlong Xu; Peng Yao; Xuhua Cheng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Modeling sea surface height (SSH) and tides is important but challenging in shelf seas. The Eastern China Seas (ECSs) is such a shelf sea with large inter-model deviations in prior studies. In order to assess and compare the possible uncertainty sources, numerical scenarios of varying the open boundary forcing, bottom roughness length scale, atmospheric forcing, grid resolution, and regional bathymetry were conducted in a hydrodynamic model of the ECSs. Results indicate that bathymetry data and open boundary forcing with inadequate accuracy generate uncertainties in SSH and tides locally and throughout the basin. An increase in bottom roughness enhances tidal dissipation and shifts amphidromes to the left relative to the incoming Kelvin waves, causing SSH variations in the ECSs. Refining the model resolution from 4 to 2 km mainly affects nearshore SSH and tides due to minor changes in depicted coastlines. Using different reanalysis meteorological data appears more important on the episodic than annual scale. It is highlighted that some uncertainty sources have opposing effects on SSH or tides and counteract their individual biases, making it difficult to achieve a realistic simulation. For example, increasing bottom roughness can not only compensate effects of overestimated tidal amplitude at open boundaries, but also balance out the overestimated M2 phase along the West Coast of Korea in a coarser-resolution model. Based on findings in this study, suggestions are provided for further reducing uncertainties in SSH and tide modeling in the ECSs and other shelf seas.
