Multitudinous dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) enters seawater from Ulva prolifera green tides impacting phytoplankton community structure in the Yellow Sea. Field investigations and cultural experiments on U. prolifera -derived DON aging revealed its regulatory effects. The green-tide outbreak area of the Southern Yellow Sea exhibits a seasonal cycle where dominance shifts from diatoms to dinoflagellates effected by young to aging U. prolifera -derived DON from summer to spring. Diatom abundance rose significantly following the summer green tide outbreak, fueled by young, protein-rich DON released by U. prolifera . After autumn and winter aging, U. prolifera -derived DON was dominant from protein-like to humic-like components, and dinoflagellates bloomed in the green tide outbreak area. An aging U. prolifera -derived DON adding culture experiment of Chaetoceros curvisetus and Prorocentrum minimum proved that old and young DON promoted dinoflagellate and diatom growth, respectively. Diatoms preferred 0 and 12 days-aged DON (DON 0 and DON 12 ) with tyrosine B and tryptophan T components, whereas dinoflagellate favored 80 days-aged DON (DON 80 ) with humic acid E and UV fulvic acid A components. DON 0 and DON 12 can be absorbed by diatoms with higher uptake ( k up ) and growth ( k G ) constants than by dinoflagellates under low leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) conditions. Dinoflagellates absorb old DON with higher k up and k G values under higher LAP concentrations than diatoms. This was consistent with the loop of U. prolifera -derived DON turning over the seasonal succession of diatom dinoflagellates in the green-tide outbreak area. This study revealed mechanism of seasonal dinoflagellate- U. prolifera -diatom cycle, and provided new insights for impacts of U. prolifera green tides on phytoplankton regime shift, thus, acting as a basis for marine management strategies.

Cold diffusion methods are used to separate and quantify the three reduced inorganic sulfur species into acid volatile sulfide (AVS), pyrite-S and element sulfur (ES) in the sediments of the Yellow and East China Seas. The results show that up to 25.02 μmol/g of AVS, 113.1 μmol/g of pyrite-S and 44.4 μmol/g of ES are observed in the sediments of the Yellow Sea and East China Sea. Pyrite-S is the predominant sulfide mineral in the sediments, while the concentration of AVS is quite low at most stations in the study area. The amounts and reactivity of organic matter are the primary limited factor for the sulfide formation, while an iron limitation and a sulfate limitation are not observed in the sediments of the Yellow Sea and East China Sea. The irregular profiles of the three reduced inorganic sulfur species also reflected the comprehensive influence of sediment composition and sedimentation rates.

Pesticide residues and their accumulation in marine environments pose potential threats to the ecosystem balance and human health. Assessment of pesticide residue levels and ecological risks in marine waters is insufficient. Therefore, we conducted a quantitative analysis of four different categories of pesticides in the surface waters of the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea in China. A comprehensive ecological risk assessment framework was constructed based on the importance of ecosystem services, utilizing the risk quotient (RQ) and entropy weighting methods to evaluate the multi-pesticide ecological risks in the study area. Thirteen pesticides were detected in the surface waters, with total concentration levels ranging from 8.18 to 80.60 ng/L, and the herbicide Atrazine and insecticide Imidacloprid were found at the highest levels. Concentration levels were higher in the Bohai Sea than in the Yellow Sea, and the highest area was mainly located on the coast of Shandong Province, China. The ecological risk of multi-pesticide pollution was the highest in the coastal regions of Shandong and was associated with Atrazine and Acetamiprid. Source analysis suggested that triazine herbicide and neonicotinoid insecticides are predominantly land-sourced, whereas sulfonylurea herbicides are primarily atmospheric. This study provides valuable support for formulating relevant environmental protection policies and measures.

Prevention of annual “green tides” caused by blooms of the green macroalga Ulva prolifera , which have occurred in the Yellow Sea since 2007, has received much attention. Increasing evidence indicates that micro-propagules on the rafts used for Porphyra yezoensis aquaculture along the coastline of Jiangsu Province in China, were the primary source of these green tides. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of a silicone antifouling coating for preventing the adhesion and germination of U. prolifera micro-propagules on bamboo and nylon ropes, which have been used in rafts for P. yezoensis aquaculture. Our results demonstrated that a coating of silicone (Sylgard 184) containing 1.0 wt.% sodium benzoate (NaB) could reduce the adhesion rate to <5% and completely inhibited the growth of U. prolifera propagules on the coated surfaces. Coating bamboo and nylon ropes with NaB-incorporated silicone thus proved a potentially effective method for controlling the initial biomass accumulation of U. prolifera .

A total of 26 alternative and legacy perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were investigated in air collected above the Bohai and Yellow Seas during a research cruise between June 28 and July 15, 2016. ∑PFAS concentrations ranged from 70 pg m −3 to 430 pg m −3 (mean 230 ± 100 pg m −3 ). Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA, mean 120 ± 80 pg m −3 ) and 8:2 fluorotelomer alcohol (8:2 FTOH, mean 34 ± 46 pg m −3 ) were the predominating compounds of ionizable PFASs (i-PFASs) and neutral PFASs (n-PFASs), respectively. The contributions of C 4 and C 6 i-PFASs were higher than those of C 8 i-PFASs. Alternative substances, such as chlorinated 6:2 polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonic acids (Cl-6:2 PFESA, mean 1.6 ± 1.2 pg m −3 ) and diPAPs (mean 1.6 ± 1.3 pg m −3 ), were only detected on the filter. The distribution coefficient of 10:2 FTOH was higher than 8:2 FTOH, which could be explained by the length of the carbon chain. The gas phase dry deposition velocities were simulated, and the values ranged from 0.08 ± 0.12 cm s −1 to 0.85 ± 0.28 cm s −1 . For i-PFASs and diPAPs, the estimated fluxes of the particle phase were higher than those of the gas phase. For n-PFASs and TFA, the gas phase deposition played a key role. The ∑PFASs dry deposition fluxes were 11–290 ng (m 2 d) −1 (mean 72 ± 67 ng (m 2 d) −1 ). The measurement of the concentrations in the gas and particle phases simultaneously provided a more comprehensive understanding of PFAS behaviours in air.

Marine fouling organisms have caused inconvenience to humans for a long time owing to their high vitality and great destructiveness. Self-polishing antifouling coatings are considered to be among the most effective antifouling technologies. In this study, zinc-based acrylate copolymers (ZnPs) were designed and synthesized using a bifunctional zinc acrylate monomer (ZnM) as a new self-polishing monomer, and three acrylate monomers (namely, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate and 2-methoxyethyl acrylate) were used as comonomers. ZnPs that contained the new ZnM were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. Different antifouling coatings were prepared using the previously mentioned ZnPs as the matrix material, and their erosion properties were investigated using a lab rotor test. A field test of the prepared coatings at various geographical locations showed their excellent antifouling performance as they inhibited the settlement of barnacles in both the South China Sea for 9 months and in the Yellow Sea for at least 15 months. The results of this study highlight that the biocidal ZnP-based coatings are highly promising candidates for marine antifouling applications.
