Abstract

Abstract

This is the first study of variations of concentrations of methane and precursor of dimethylsulfide (DMS)-dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) from surface to hadal seawater in the northern area of the Yap Trench in the western Pacific Ocean. The results showed that the concentration of methane seawater of the Yap Trench ranged from 1.49 to 3.87 nmol/L. The concentration of methane was highest in photic water of the trench, and the maximum value occurred in the subsurface layer. Average concentration of methane was the lowest in the oxygen minimum layer of the trench. There was a certain degree increase of concentration of methane in the 500-1 000 m water layer of the trench. Below 1 000 m depth, concentration of methane kept increasing to the bottom water. The vertical variation of the average concentration of DMSPd and DMSPt showed increasing and then decreasing trends with depth. The average concentration of DMSPp showed fluctuation variation trend, with highest value in the mesopelagic layer. The vertical variations of concentraions of methane and DMSP in the Yap Trench was controlled by various factors, including plankton, microorganisms, light, temperature, pressure, ocean circulation, and etc. In photic seawater of the trench, the correlation between concentrations of CH₄ and DMSPd, DMSPp and DMSPt was negative, and from 200 m to bottom seawater, the concentration of CH₄ and DMSP had positive correlation, indicating light condition was the critical factor controlling the correlation between concentrations of methane and DMSPd, DMSPp and DMSPt.
