  • Revisit a Redfield ratio as a reference value in marine bioactive element cycles

    海洋によるCO2の吸収・固定量は植物プランクトンによる炭素と栄養素の利用比率によって変化します。その比率としてレッドフィールド比が良く知られており,気候変化を予測する生態系モデルにおいて固定値として使われていますが,実測データの蓄積は十分ではありません。また,プランクトン群集はサイズの異なる多くの種で形成されますが,それらをひとまとめにした比率しか議論されてきませんでした。海洋環境の変化によりプランクトン群集組成が変化すると予測されていますが,その変化が生態系に与える影響を評価できません。そこで,本研究は有機物粒子のサイズ分画手法を確立したうえで,各サイズ画分の主要4元素組成比(炭素:窒素:リン:ケイ素)に関するデータを取得します。
    研究一年目の2021年度は海水中の有機物粒子をサイズ毎に分画するための手法を検討しました。撹拌式セルを用いた限外ろ過システムを応用した「限外ろ過方式」と,孔径の異なるフィルターに連続的に通過させる「逐次ろ過方式」を並行して検討しました。その結果,限外ろ過方式はフィルター上に粒子が捕捉されてしまい,有機物粒子量を過小評価することがわかりました。有機物粒子のサイズ分画手法としては逐次ろ過方式が適していることがわかりました。逐次ろ過方式はリンおよびケイ素の分析試料を作成するのに適していますが,炭素および窒素を分析するためにはフィルター上に集めた有機物粒子を液体に懸濁させて回収する必要があります。フィルターに付着する有機物粒子を完全に回収する手法を検討した結果,超音波洗浄を利用することで達成できることがわかりました。これらの検討により,孔径の異なるメンブレンフィルターを用いた逐次ろ過方式によって有機物粒子を三つにサイズ分画し,超音波洗浄を活用して回収した有機物粒子の主要4元素を分析することで,各サイズ画分の元素組成比を分析するための道筋が完成しました。

  • Understanding the Mechanisms of oligotrophication in Mutsu Bay for sustainable bivalve culture
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research

    Oligotrophication, a decreasing trend in nutrient concentration has been revealed in Mutsu Bay, where intensive scallop hanging culture is conducted. The objectives of this study are to elucidate the mechanisms of the oligotrophication threatening sustainable biological production in the coastal areas and to propose the effective policies for it. Nutrients were depleted in summer and primary productivity (scallop diet) was depressed by the nutrient deficiency. Bottom sediment cultivation was conducted to examine the enhancement of return of nutrients from the sediment. The amounts of this return were estimated as much as 10-20% of the standing stock in the water column. Thus, the bottom sediment cultivation is an effective option for preventing oligotrophication in this area.

    Radioactive material derived from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident was investigated in marine ecosystem. 1) For radioactive cesium in marine organisms and environment in the coastal area of Fukushima, we obtained a continuous time-series data set by ship observations twice a year. Time-series data set for radioactive cesium in zooplankton was also obtained in several open ocean areas. 2) Examinations of transfer routes of radioactive cesium in coastal rocky seafloor revealed that transition of radioactive cesium from suspended or descending particles, and from organic fraction of sediments was small. 3) Using the on-site observation data, the transition of radioactive cesium in the ecosystem was reproduced by a numerical model, and the model was applied to prediction of the future trend of the radioactivity level of marine organisms.

  • A study on inventory and distribution of nutrient in seawater together with higher comparability

    We create a dataset which is the basic dataset to draw more accurate spatial distribution of nutrients in global ocean. During the study period we conducted 6 cruises in which reference material of nutrients in seawater was used, precision of nutrients analyses is better than 0.2 % and station-station comparability was ensured. We also collected all of the cruises in which nutrients data were available. We did crossover analyses at 243 crossovers where our cruises were reference to decide factors to adjust nutrients concentration obtained in other cruises. In addition we included dissolved oxygen as an additional parameter of the dataset. Finally, we got the dataset of 0.5 deg. by 0.5 deg. mesh, 136 layers up to 6500 meters depth for nitrate, phosphate, silicate and dissolved oxygen, respectively.

  • Impact estimations of the ocean acidification on the calcium carbonate plankton in the Subarctic Pacific.

    Impact estimation experiments of the ocean acidification being caused by the global warming were carried out using calcium carbonate plankton in the Subarctic Pacific as well as in the Southern Ocean. Biomass and species compositions of phytoplankton (haptophytes: coccolithopholids) in these areas are not completed yet. But, it is clearly observed that the acidification impacts were more obvious on the higher biomass species. We are now making theoretical buck grounds for these evidences. And, we now pay simultaneously attentions of the acidification impacts on the diatoms, dominant species in the Subarctic and Southern Oceans.

  • Impact of elevated CO2 on phytoplankton growth and organic matter production
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    2010 - 2012
    YOSHIMURA Takeshi
    Impacts of elevated CO2 on phytoplankton growth and organic matter production were examined using isolates and in situ plankton communities. Responses to the CO2 increase were species-specific and were altered in different temperature and light conditions. Although in situ plankton communities did not show major responses to the CO2 increase, clear trends to the CO2 increase were observed in some experiments. Future CO2 increase in seawater can play a significant role on altering the dynamics of in situ phytoplankton communities and organic matters.

  • Observational research for iron, biological productivity, and carbon cycle in the subarctic northwestern Pacific
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    2004 - 2006

    2-D iron distribution in the subarctic northwestern Pacific was investigated repeatedly from 2003 to 2006 with high spacio-temporal resolution equally to major nutrients. Seasonal and interannual variations of iron observed in the Oyashio domain brought us the following information :
    1] Monthly-mean concentration of dissolved iron (DFe) in the Oyashio mixed layer varies in parallel with nitrate, with its maximum anteceding the Kosa season. Ratio of DFe to the nitrate is fairly constant throughout the year (ΔDFe/ΔN=27×10^<-6>[mol/mol]), and this ratio resembles those of North Pacific intermediate water (NPIW). Based on these observation results and a simple model calculation, it is concluded that the seasonal variation of Dfe in the Oyashio mixed layer is mainly governed by spring-summer biological consumption and winter recirculation from the NPIW. Iron input from the dust deposition is implied to have small effect to the mixed-layer iron cycle, although small-scale high iron patch might sometimes be generated by local iron deposition.
    2] More than half of the DFe data observed in Oyashio mixed layer at the bloom-termination period shows roughly constant value of 0.25 nM, implying that the bloom-forming diatoms incur significant iron limitation below this iron level. In spring, iron reaches this lower-limit faster than nitrate, forming iron-limited ecosystem conditions at the end of spring bloom. In summer, however, the ultimate depletion of mixed layer nitrate occurs faster than that of DFe at July, forming nitrate-limited ecosystem in the summer Oyashio domain.
