基于碳、氮稳定同位素的黑水河鱼类营养结构的季节性变化特征

SEASONAL VARIATION IN FISH TROPHIC STRUCTURE OF THE HEISHUI RIVER BASED ON CARBON AND NITROGEN STABLE ISOTOPES

  • 摘要: 为探究黑水河流域水生食物网特征及其季节变化, 本研究分别于2024年7月(丰水期)和11月(枯水期)在该流域不同河段采集渔业资源, 根据主要消费者及饵料生物样品的碳、氮稳定同位素值, 采用SIBER模型分析了鱼类营养级及群落营养结构特征的季节差异。结果表明, 丰水期渔业生物的δ13C值和δ15N值分别为–20.45‰— –5.27‰和0.88‰—14.68‰, 枯水期的δ13C值和δ15N值分别为–29.40‰— –1.12‰和0.87‰—12.66‰, 鱼类营养级范围为1.817—3.918, 整体营养级在丰水期与枯水期无显著差异(P>0.05), 但部分物种存在明显季节差异, 其中, 钝吻棒花鱼和宽鳍鱲丰水期的平均营养级显著高于枯水期(P<0.001), 而横纹南鳅枯水期营养级显著高于丰水期(P<0.01), 反映出不同物种对水文季节波动引发的食物资源组成变化的适应策略存在差异。枯水期群落营养结构指标(NR、CR、TA、CD、MNND和SDNND值)均高于丰水期, 表明枯水期鱼类的基础食物来源更多样, 鱼类营养位置差异更显著, 群落多样性水平更高, 种间营养竞争强度更弱, 营养冗余程度更低。本研究结果可为山区河流生态系统食物网研究提供案例参考, 也可为黑水河的生态系统健康状况评估与针对性保护管理提供理论依据。

     

    Abstract: To investigate the characteristics and seasonal variations of the aquatic food web in the Heishui River Basin, fishery resources were collected from different river sections in July (wet season) and November (dry season) of 2024. Based on the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope values of the main consumers and prey organisms, the SIBER model was used to analyze the seasonal differences in fish trophic levels and community trophic structure. The δ13C values of organisms ranged from -20.45‰ to -5.27‰ in the wet season and and from -29.40‰ to -1.12‰ in the dry season; δ15N values ranged from 0.88‰ to 14.68‰ in the wet season and from 0.87‰ to 12.66‰ in the dry season. The trophic level of fish ranged from 1.817 to 3.918, with no significant overall difference between the wet and dry seasons (P>0.05). However, significant seasonal variations occurred in certain species: the average trophic level of Abbottina obtusirostris and Zacco platypus was significantly higher in the wet season (P<0.001), whereas that of Schistura fasciolatawas was significantly higher in the dry season (P<0.01). These findings reflect species-specific adaptations to seasonal hydrology and food resource changes. Trophic structure indices (NR, CR, TA, CD, MNND, and SDNND) were generally higher in the dry season, indicating a more diverse basal food source, more distinct trophic niche differentiation, higher community diversity, weaker interspecific trophic competition, and lower trophic redundancy during the dry season. These results provide a case reference for food webs research in mountain river ecosystems and offer a theoretical basis for ecosystem health assessment and targeted conservation management of the Heishui River.
