基于稳定同位素技术的小西尔根气河鱼类群落营养结构及食物网研究

Trophic structure of fish communities and construction of food web in Xiaoxi'ergenqi River based on stable isotope technology

  • 摘要: 为了深入探究大兴安岭地区小西尔根气河鱼类群落的营养结构与食物网结构,于2023年夏季(6月)和秋季(9月),对其鱼类资源展开调查。通过分析生物的碳、氮稳定同位素值(δ13C、δ15N),应用R语言中的SIBER包和MixSIAR包进行相关计算与分析渔获物群落营养结构的季节差异,并初步构建了该河流的食物网。研究结果表明,夏季鱼类δ13C值范围为(−36.53‰±0.09‰)~(−28.15‰±0.08‰),δ15N值范围为(6.33‰±0.24‰)~10.23‰;秋季鱼类δ13C值范围为(−33.08‰±0.76‰)~(−28.75‰±0.68‰),δ15N值范围为(6.43‰±0.76‰)~10.13‰。经统计分析,δ13C、δ15N值在夏季和秋季间无显著差异(p>0.05);肉食性鱼类与杂食性鱼类的δ13C值差异不显著(p>0.05),但是肉食性鱼类δ15N值显著大于杂食性鱼类(p<0.05)。夏季和秋季采集到的鱼类样本,其营养级值范围分别为2.63~3.77和2.66~3.75,且各鱼类营养位置的季节差异不显著(p>0.05)。小西尔根气河夏季和秋季的食物链长度分别为3.77和3.75。夏季鱼类6个同位素量化指标均大于秋季,意味着鱼类群落的营养多样性在夏季高于秋季,然而营养冗余程度低于秋季。在3种碳源中,夏季和秋季均表现为沉积颗粒有机物(SOM)对整个食物网的碳源贡献率最高,悬浮颗粒有机物(POM)和浮游植物的碳源贡献率相对较低。根据贝叶斯混合模型模拟的小西尔根气河食物网特征可知,夏季和秋季底栖食物链在整个河流生态系统中均占据主导地位。

     

    Abstract: To explore the trophic structure and food web structure of the fish community in the Xiaoxi'ergenqi River, an investigation of its fish resources was conducted in the summer (June) and autumn (September) of 2023. By analyzing the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope values (δ13C, δ15N) of various organisms, the SIBER and MixSIAR packages in R were used for relevant calculations and analysis to determine the seasonal differences in the trophic structure of the catch community, and a preliminary food web of the river was constructed. The results showed that the δ13C values of fish in summer ranged from (-36.53‰±0.09‰) to (-28.15‰±0.08‰), and the δ15N values ranged from (6.33‰±0.24‰) to 10.23‰. In autumn, the δ13C values of fish ranged from (-33.08‰±0.76‰) to (-28.75‰±0.68‰), and the δ15N values ranged from (6.43‰±0.76‰) to 10.13‰. Statistical analysis indicated no significant seasonal differences in δ13C and δ15N values between summer and autumn (p>0.05). There was no significant difference in δ13C values between carnivorous and omnivorous fish (p>0.05), but the δ15N values of carnivorous fish were significantly higher than those of omnivorous fish (p<0.05). The trophic level ranges of the fish samples collected in summer and autumn were 2.63-3.77 and 2.66-3.75, respectively, with no significant seasonal differences in the trophic positions of each fish species (p>0.05). The food chain lengths of the Xiaoxi'ergenqi River in summer and autumn were 3.77 and 3.75, respectively. For the six isotope quantitative indices, the values in summer were all higher than those in autumn, indicating that the trophic diversity of the fish community was higher in summer than in autumn, while the degree of trophic redundancy was lower in summer. The study also found that among the three carbon sources, sedimentary particulate organic matter (SOM) contributed the most to the entire food web in both summer and autumn, while the contributions of suspended particulate organic matter (POM) and phytoplankton were relatively lower. According to the food web characteristics of the Xiaoxi'ergenqi River predicted by the Bayesian mixing model, the benthic food chain dominated the entire river ecosystem in both summer and autumn.
