太湖与巢湖水华蓝藻越冬和春季复苏的比较研究

Comparison of Overwintering and Rrecruitment of Cyanobacteria in Taihu Lake and Chaohu Lake

研究了太湖、巢湖水华蓝藻的越冬和春季复苏的动力学特征.结果表明,太湖从秋季11月时蓝藻大量下沉进入底泥越冬,到次年5月后底泥中的蓝藻开始复苏进入水体.在11月-次年5月的越冬过程中,底泥中的蓝藻保持增长,其中在3-5月蓝藻生长加快.巢湖中蓝藻表现出类似的下沉越冬和春季复苏规律,即蓝藻自11月开始下沉,但巢湖底泥中的蓝藻在3-4月时即开始复苏.本研究表明太湖和巢湖中蓝藻都有明显的下沉越冬和春季复苏现象.太湖不同营养盐湖区蓝藻的越冬和复苏规律相似,底泥中的蓝藻数量在越冬过程中相差不大,说明越冬期间底泥中蓝藻含量与夏季水体中蓝藻数量可能没有直接联系.

Dynamics of overwintering and recruitment of cyanobacteria were studied in Taihu Lake and Chaohu Lake. The results demonstrated that cyanobacteria sank to the sediment in autumn （November） and recruited to water column in May in Taihu Lake. From November to next May, the cyanobacteria kept growing with an increased growth rate from March to May in the sediment. A similar pattern of overwintering and recruitment of cyanobacteria was found in Chaohu Lake, which showed the cyanobacteria sinking in November and recruitment in spring with the cyanobacteria growing in the sediment, while the cyanobacteria recruited to water column from March to April. Our results showed there was typical overwintering and recruitment of cyanobacteria in Taihu Lake and Chaohu Lake. The numbers of cyanobacteria in sediment represented by the almost same pigments content in different lake areas of Taihu Lake according to nutrient levels probably implied the little relationships of the numbers in sediments with the summer bloomed biomass of cyanobacteria.
