丹江口水库上游梯级开发后产漂流性卵鱼类早期资源及其演变

2014年对丹江口水库上游四大家鱼等产漂流性卵鱼类进行早期资源的现状调查,结果表明丹江口水库上游现有产漂流性卵鱼类共14种,以银鮈、蛇鮈、花斑副沙鳅、、蒙古鲌等鱼类为主,四大家鱼卵64粒,仅占卵数的1.02%.与1977年、1993年历史调查的产漂流性卵鱼类早期资源数据相比,产卵场数量减少6处,产卵场的规模和位置发生显著变化.丹江口水库上游产漂流性卵鱼类产卵总量下降明显,从1977年的近1745.86亿粒(尾)下降到2014年的455502.76万粒(尾);其中四大家鱼卵苗径流量下降幅度最为显著,从171.27亿粒(尾)下降到4295.22万粒(尾),四大家鱼卵苗径流量占鱼类卵苗总径流量的比例也从9.81%下降到了0.94%以下.     

三峡水库十年生态调度(2011—2020年)期间下游沙市江段产漂流性卵鱼类自然繁殖变化

2011—2020年,三峡水库共开展了14次促进坝下江段四大家鱼自然繁殖的生态调度试验,于每年5—7月在长江中游沙市江段开展鱼类早期资源调查研究,旨在掌握生态调度实施以来产漂流性卵鱼类自然繁殖的响应变化,评估生态调度对长江中游鱼类自然繁殖的贡献。十年间共采集到鱼卵35种,其中典型产漂流性卵鱼类有25种,主要种类包括贝氏?(Hemiculter bleekeri)、鯿(Parabraims pekinensis、银鮈(Squalidus argentatus)、草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idellus)、鲢(Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)、翘嘴鲌(Culter alburnus)和花斑副沙鳅(Parabotia fasciata);鱼卵群落多样性指数H、均匀度指数E和稳定性指数ICV在年际间呈现先降低后升高的变化趋势,优势度指数D恰好相反,变化拐点出现在2017年,表明2017年以来群落多样性趋于增加,群落结构趋于稳定;产漂流性卵鱼类繁殖规模总体呈先减少后增加变化,有8个类群的繁殖规模逐年增加,鱼类繁殖高峰频次逐渐升高,大规模繁殖出现的时段逐渐延长...     

三峡水库与长寿湖水库鱼类碳、氮稳定同位素特征及营养级的比较

为探究人为活动对水库鱼类食物来源和营养级关系的影响,选择人为影响程度较低的三峡水库和影响程度较高的长寿湖水库为研究对象,应用碳、氮稳定同位素技术对两个水库鱼类δ¹³C值、δ¹⁵N值和营养级进行比较分析.结果显示：长寿湖水库鱼类δ¹³C平均值（-22.66‰±1.94‰）与三峡水库（-22.59‰±1.87‰）较为接近,但长寿湖鱼类的δ¹⁵N值（13.95‰ ±3.02‰）显著高于三峡水库鱼类的δ¹⁵N值（11.98‰ ±2.25‰）.根据δ¹⁵N值计算不同食性鱼类间的营养级,三峡水库营养级为肉食性鱼类 > 杂食性鱼类 > 浮游生物食性鱼类 > 草食性鱼类;而长寿湖中则表现为浮游生物食性鱼类 > 肉食性鱼类 > 杂食性鱼类 > 草食性鱼类,营养级出现了异常现象.这一结果表明,对于人为影响（如人工喂食鱼饲料等）较大的水体,采用δ¹⁵N值计算不同食性鱼类间的营养级存在不确定性.     

三峡水库出水断面磷通量及形态研究(1998-2019年)

总磷是长江流域备受关注的污染物。来自长江上游的物质输送对长江中下游、对入海口水域水生态都具有重要影响。研究了1998—2019时期长江上游和中下游之间的衔接断面暨三峡水库出水断面的磷通量及形态变化。整个研究时段分为3个阶段:1998—2002(阶段Ⅰ,三峡水库运行之前),2003—2013(阶段Ⅱ,作为过渡时期)及2014—2019(阶段Ⅲ,三峡水库实现175m正常蓄水位且金沙江下游段向家坝和溪洛渡水库运行后),以阶段Ⅰ、Ⅲ为重点时段进行对比分析。研究表明,2014—2019年总磷年通量平均为5.67万t/a,比1998—2002年减少了38.0%;溶解态磷年通量为4.02万t/a,增加了60.0%;颗粒态磷年通量为1.67万t/a,减少了74.9%。磷的主导形态由颗粒态变为溶解态,溶解态磷通量占比由27.5%上升为70.9%;相应地,颗粒态磷通量占比由72.5%下降为29.1%。总磷、溶解态磷和颗粒态磷通量均表现为丰水期>平水期>枯水期。近20年来,水沙关系发生了巨大变化,含沙量(SS)与水量(Q)正相关性大幅下降,其拟合方程的斜率由1.44下降为0.10,R^2...     

三峡库区的入侵鱼类及库区蓄水对外来鱼类入侵的影响初探

三峡水库已于2010年10月完成175 m的蓄水目标,蓄水后三峡库区形成一个生态位严重空缺的人造湖泊生态系统.近年来,库区及长江上游外来入侵鱼类呈增长态势,已发现外来入侵鱼类23种,且部分已处于种群数量暴发阶段.水库蓄水初期营养盐输入增加和初级生产力的提高通常也利于广适性鱼类和外来种的生存,对外来鱼类的入侵和种群数量的扩散暴发产生一定的促进作用.外来鱼类在生态位竞争上与土著鱼类相比处于明显优势地位,可能将严重危害三峡库区的渔业资源及其水域生态系统的安全.因此,对于三峡库区的鱼类入侵及其所带来的相关效应等问题,应引起密切关注和重视,尽早建立三峡库区入侵鱼类的预警和防治体系,严格评估人为引种活动,深入研究外来鱼类得以成功入侵的原因与机理.     

Characteristics of sedimentation and channel adjustment linked to the Three Gorges Reservoir

Construction of large dams is attractive because of their great benefits in flood control,hydropower generation,water resources utilization,navigation improvement,etc.However,dam construction may bring some negative impacts on sediment transport and channel dynamics adjustments.Due to the effects of recent water and soil conservation projects,sediment retention in the newly constructed large upstream reservoirs,and other factors,the sedimentation in the Three Gorges Reservoir(TGR)is quite different from the amount previously predicted in the demonstration stage.Consequently,based on the measured data,characteristics of sedimentation and the related channel deformation in the TGR were analyzed.The results imply that sediment transport tended to be reduced after the Three Gorges Project(TGP).Sedimentation slowed dramatically after 2013 and indicated obvious seasonal characteristics.Due to the rising water level in the TGR in the flood season,the yearly sediment export ratio(Eratio)was prone to decrease.The water level near the dam site should be reasonably regulated according to the flow discharge to improve the sediment delivery capacity and reduce sedimentation in the TGR,and to try to avoid situations where the flood retention time is close to 444 h.The depositional belt was discontinuous in the TGR and was mainly distributed in the broad reaches,and only slight erosion or deposition occurred in the gorge reaches.Sedimentation in the broad and gorge reaches accounted for 93.8% and 6.2% of the total sedimentation,respectively.The estuarine reach located in the fluctuating backwater area experienced alternate erosion-deposition,with a slight accumulative deposition in the curved reach.Sedimentation mainly occurred in the perennial backwater area.The insight gained in this study can be conducive to directly understanding of large reservoir sedimentation and mechanism of channel adjustment in the reservoir region in the main channel of large river.     

三峡水库童庄河浮游植物及其与水质的关系

通过对三峡水库支流童庄河库区的浮游植物进行调查,共检出浮游植物132种,其中蓝藻门23种,隐藻门2种,甲藻门3种,硅藻门55种,裸藻门3种,绿藻门46种.其中硅藻门的种类居首位,甲藻和隐藻则在数量上占优势.主要优势种为飞燕角甲藻(Ceratium hirundinella)和隐藻一种(Cryptomonas sp.).浮游植物的种类和数量随季节和水域不同而呈现差异.应用水质理化指标、污染指示种和污染指示群落评价童庄河水质,显示其水质为Ⅴ类,为β-中污型水体.     

三峡水库近坝段水面漂浮物对水质的影响

每年汛期与蓄水期三峡水库近坝段水域会有大量漂浮物聚集,为探索三峡水库近坝段水域(坝前及以上约12.7km长的河段)水面漂浮物对水质的影响,2018年开展了漂浮物覆盖水体水质跟踪监测和漂浮物浸泡试验,并以20142018年的漂浮物产量和近坝段水域水质监测数据为基础进行了相关分析与回归分析.结果表明:漂浮物会提高坝前覆盖水体的氮类营养盐水平和有机污染物浓度,引起河湾漂浮物覆盖水域氨氮(NH3-N)浓度升高,致使氮类营养盐组成的变化和由于高锰酸盐指数/总有机碳比值(COD_Mn/TOC)的差异变化对水体产生有机污染.除NH₃-N外,坝前水域受漂浮物影响程度大于河湾区域,漂浮物对河湾水质的影响在蓄水期更为明显,漂浮物覆盖水体垂直方向上2 m内水质因子无明显分层现象;相比综合类漂浮物,植物类漂浮物对水质的影响更迅速和明显;漂浮物仅在其覆盖的水体小范围内对氮类营养盐指标造成影响,漂浮物产量的增加会增大近坝段水域水体悬浮物、有机污染物和还原性无机物质(COD_Mn)浓度,形成一定的影响规律.因此,合理布置清漂作业点,高效及时地开展漂浮物清...

三峡工程运行后荆江河段分汇段航道水深资源及碍航驱动机制

系统解析长江中游河湖交汇区域航道水深资源的变化,可支撑“黄金航道”的可持续发展。本研究以洞庭湖-荆江交汇段为对象,研究洞庭湖分汇区域水沙条件、荆江河段滩槽演变与河湖交汇段航道水深资源的关系。研究表明:三峡工程运行以来,洞庭湖三口分流量和分沙量延续了三峡工程运行前的减少态势,伴随洞庭湖分流量减少,相对增加的长江干流径流量增强了河床冲刷强度,反馈使得洞庭湖三口分流量和分沙量均处于较低值;荆江河段河床冲刷给航道尺度提升奠定了有利基础,河湖分汇区域不满足4.5 m×200 m(水深×宽度)的长度为12.6 km,占荆江河段碍航总长度的68.35%。碍航驱动机制上:松滋口分流区段(枝城-昌门溪)的4.5 m水槽贯通但宽度不足200 m,汊道分流关系不稳定及洲滩萎缩制约航道条件稳定,枯水位下降及“坡陡流急”现象仍然严峻,不利于航道条件保障及船舶安全航行;太平口分流区段水位下降、洲滩萎缩、汊道交替发展使得枯水航路不稳定或水深不足4.5 m;藕池口分流区域的洲滩崩退、洲滩冲刷引起的向下游泥沙输移,碍航表现为航宽不足200 m或出现水深不足4.5 m的浅滩;洞庭湖入汇影响区段(熊家洲-城陵矶)受弯道冲淤...     

Unexpected sedimentation patterns upstream and downstream of the Three Gorges Reservoir: Future risks

This paper summarizes the latest developments, future prospects, and proposed countermeasures of reservoir sedimentation and channel scour downstream of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) on the Yangtze River in China. Three key results have been found.(1) The incoming sediment load to the TGR has been significantly lower than expected.(2) The accumulated volume of sediment deposition in the TGR is smaller than expected because the overall sediment delivery ratio is relatively low, and the deposition in the near-dam area of the TGR is still developing.(3) River bed scour in the river reaches downstream of the Gezhouba Dam is still occurring and channel scour has extended to reaches as far downstream as the Hukou reach. Significantly, sedimentation of the TGR is less problematic than expected since the start of operation of the TGR on the one hand;on the other hand, the possible increases in sediment risks from dependence on upstream sediment control, deposition in the reservoir, and scour along middle Yangtze River should be paid more attention.(1) Sediment trapped by dams built along the upper Yangtze River and billion tons of loose materials on unstable slopes produced by the Wenchuan Earthquake could be new sediment sources for the upper Yangtze River. More seriously, possible release of this sediment into the upper Yangtze River due to new earthquakes or extreme climate events could overwhelm the river system, and produce catastrophic consequences.(2) Increasing sediment deposition in the TGR is harmful to the safety and efficiency of project operation and navigation.(3) The drastic scour along the middle Yangtze River has intensified the down-cutting of the riverbed and erosion of revetment, it has already led to increasing risk to flood control structures and ecological safety. It is suggested to continue the Field Observation Program, to initiate research programs and to focus on risks of sedimentation.
