To assess the impact of the marine environment on the community of fish eggs in Daya Bay, we collected fish egg samples across four seasons during 2022. A total of 51 species of fish eggs were gathered. The fish egg community exhibited significant seasonal and spatial variations. The number of fish egg species was highest in spring and lowest in winter, while overall abundance peaked during summer. The abundance of eggs from l...

The concentrations of heavy metals in sediments and marine organisms in Daya Bay were investigated, and the Monte Carlo method was used to analyze the uncertainty of the results of geo-accumulation characteristics and ecological and health risks. The mean concentrations of metal elements in sediments were in the following order: Zn > Cr > Cu > As > Cd > Hg, while those in marine organisms were Zn > Cu > As > Cr ≈ Cd > Hg. The...
