印太交汇区浮游植物和浮游动物生态学研究进展

RESEARCH PROGRESS ON PHYTOPLANKTON AND ZOOPLANKTON ECOLOGY IN INDO-PACIFIC CONVERGENCE REGION

海洋浮游植物和浮游动物是海洋生态系统中的重要组成部分,支撑了整个海洋生态系统的正常运转。因此,海洋浮游植、动物的生态学研究有利于我们全面认识和了解一个海洋生态系统的状况。印太交汇区作为全球最大的海洋生物多样性中心,是国际上生物多样性研究的热点区域,但该区域对浮游生物生态学方面的研究较少,不利于我们深入认识该区域生物多样性中心形成的生态机制。本文针对当前国内、外关于印太交汇区浮游植、动物生态学研究的进展进行综述,介绍了印太交汇区的浮游植物群落结构、生物量、粒级组成和初级生产力水平,以及浮游动物群落结构特征、生物量分布及影响因素等,对未来印太交汇区浮游生态学研究的方向进行了展望,希望可以为该区域相关生态学研究提供借鉴和参考。

Marine plankton is an important part of marine ecosystem,including mainly phytoplankton and zooplankton.As primary producers in the ocean,phytoplankton converts solar energy into organic energy via photosynthesis,which initiates the circulation of material and energy flow in the ocean.Zooplankton are important consumers in the ocean,feeding on phytoplankton in secondary production process and transferring the organic energy to the upper trophic level through the food chain.The study of marine plankton ecology is important for the comprehensive understanding on the state of marine ecosystem.The Indo-Pacific convergence region is a hotspot of biodiversity research in the world,but the study of plankton ecology is still not sufficient in this area.Therefore,in this paper,the study of plankton ecology in this area,including community structure,biomass,the size fraction and the primary production of phytoplankton,the community structure of zooplankton and its influencing factors are reviewed.In addition,the future research directions of phytoplankton and zooplankton ecology in this area are prospected.This review can provide a reference for scientists in the research field.
