摘要

Abstract

It has been a scientific consensus that

Ulva prolifera

green tide that break out annually between May and August in the recent decade off eastern coast of Yellow Sea. To investigate the ecological mechanism of the decline of

prolifera

green tide

we compared the physiological characteristics of

prolifera

samples collected in three stages of the green tide in Subei Shoal north Jiangsu

the initiation point

on May 10 (early

the initiation)

July 10 (middle

the outbreak)

and in Taipingjiao

Qingdao on August 10 (late

the decline). Compared to the early samples

the middle

and late samples showed a lower chlorophyll content and photosynthetic efficiency at a higher lipid peroxidation level. The middle and later samples had fewer chloroplasts in the cells of

prolifera

than those in the early samples. In addition

the cells of

prolifera

sampled in the late stage showed ruptured and deformed cell walls. Differences in physiological function were reflected in the growth rate. Both the middle and late

prolifera

samples presented negative growth rates. Correlation analysis results show that the rising temperature was mainly responsible for the local decline of

prolifera

green tide. The high light-intensity that could induce the photoinhibition was also an important factor for the decline. Therefore

prolifera

population that remained in the Subei Shoal and those that northward drifted to Qingdao experienced the same decline processes: rising temperature and continuous high light conditions in the late phase of green tide reduced the photosynthetic capacity and destroyed the antioxidant system of the thallus

which lead to decrease of biomass. The only difference is that the temperature in the Subei Shoal rose earlier than that in Qingdao; thus

prolifera

remaining in the Subei Shoal went disappeared first.
