Abstract:

Evaluating the distribution and sea-air fluxes of dissolved methane (CH4) in mariculture areas is important for understanding how aquaculture contributes to regional CH4 emissions into the atmosphere. Seasonal field surveys conducted in 2023 were used to analyze the temporal and spatial variation of CH4 concentrations in surface water and CH4 air-sea flux in a typical aquaculture system in Sansha Bay, Fujian Province. The results showed that dissolved CH4 concentrations ranged from 9.91 to 609.22 nmol/L, with corresponding air-sea fluxes between 3.46 to 1 188.15 μmol/ (m2·d). Temporally, the CH4 air-sea fluxes were higher in summer and autumn compared to spring and winter. Spatially, CH4 concentrations and air-sea fluxes decreased consistently from the estuary to the bay mouth, with the highest values in the estuarine aquaculture area and the lowest in the bay mouth aquaculture area. Correlation analysis showed that aquacultural activities and terrestrial runoff inputs contributed to the spatiotemporal distribution of CH4 concentrations within the bay. In the macroalgae cultivation zones, CH4 production and emissions during farming periods were significantly lower than during non-farming periods. Additionally, the residual feed and feces generated by fish in cages may result in increased CH4 emissions. Notably, CH4 emissions peaked in summer, due to enhanced aquaculture activities and runoff inputs during the wet season. Future work should focus on investigating CH4 air-sea fluxes in mariculture areas to provide scientific support for CH4 control and emission reduction in aquaculture.

摘要:

科学评估海湾养殖区的溶存甲烷(CH4)和海—气扩散通量分布对于认识渔业养殖活动对大气CH4的区域性贡献具有重要意义。基于2023年4个季度现场考察,研究了福建省典型养殖海湾——三沙湾各季度、不同养殖区域表层海水的溶存CH4浓度、海—气扩散通量分布特征及影响因素,评估了海湾渔业养殖活动对大气CH4浓度变化的贡献。结果表明,海湾表层水体溶存CH4浓度为9.91~609.22 nmol/L,海—气扩散通量为3.46~1 188.15 μmol/(m2·d),CH4海—气扩散通量表现为夏季>秋季>春季>冬季。三沙湾内溶存CH4浓度及海—气扩散通量空间分布趋势一致,总体呈现由河口向湾口降低的趋势,CH4高值区域出现在养殖活动频繁的河口养殖区站位,其次为中部养殖区和东部养殖区,湾口养殖区为监测最低值区域。对三沙湾养殖区域的表层海水溶存CH4浓度、海—气扩散通量的时空分布特征及环境因素相关性分析表明,渔业养殖活动及陆源径流输入共同调控着海湾内CH4的时空分布格局。大型藻类养殖期间,养殖区域水体溶存CH4浓度、通量低于非大型藻类养殖期;夏季是CH4释放的高峰,这与鱼类养殖活动增多和丰水期径流输入密切相关。养殖海域的溶存CH4浓度及海—气扩散通量研究可为养殖业CH4控制减排提供科学支撑。
