Abstract

Abstract

Based on the dataset obtained from 41 stations of a cruise in August of 2016, Shannon-Wiener index (H'), AZTI's Marine Biotic Index (AMBI) and M-AMBI (Multivariate-AMBI) were employed to investigate the potential benthic environmental impacts of offshore mariculture activities in Sansha Bay, a typical aquaculture bay in the East China Sea. The three indices of macrobenthic organisms from four typical waters (finfish, seaweed, abalone farms and non-farm area) were compared and the correlations between these indices and the typical environmental parameters (δ¹⁵N, δ¹³C, C/N ratio, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, acid volatile sulfide, water content and silt-clay fraction) were analyzed. A total of 74 species of macrobenthic organisms were identified in this study, with H' of 0-3.51, AMBI of 0-4.13 and M-AMBI of 0.30-0.77. Most species were assigned to environment-sensitive type, i.e. the EGI and EGⅡ ecological groups in the AMBI method. The distribution of the three biotic indices indicated that the overall environmental quality of the Sansha Bay was good except for occasional noticeable disturbances occurred in partial areas. Kruskal-Wallis test showed that only H' differed among three typical waters (P<0.05), and supplementary Pairwise comparison showed that H' in cage farm area of Pseudosciaena crocea was statistically higher than that in seaweed farm area (P<0.01). Spearman correlation coefficient showed that significant correlation between indices and environmental parameters were occasionally present, only for H' and M-AMBI were significantly correlated with total phosphorus (P<0.05). Furthermore, cluster analysis revealed that sampling stations were randomly distributed, which did not correspond to differences of the farm categories. In conclusion, analysis of the three biotic indices indicated that the typical mariculture activities in Sansha Bay had no significant impacts on the quality of regional benthic habitats.
