    To investigate the microbial communities’ structure of water and intestine of black sea bream (Acanthopagrus schlegelii) reared in in-pond raceway culture system (IP) and pond (EP), intestines and culture water were selected as research objects. Using high-throughput sequencing technology, the structure and function of bacterial communities under the two different culture modes were compared and analyzed. The results show that the microbial communities are mainly composed of Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Chloroflexi, and the sum of their abundance is 98.32%-99.22%. At genus level, bacteria are significantly different. Furthermore, the main increased species in IP mode were Ruegeria (14.84%) Synechococcus (14.24%), Marivita (3.58%), norank_o__PeM15 (2.97%) and norank_C__KD4-96 (2.56%)(P<0.05) (IP > EP). However, the main bacteria in EP model are Enterobacter (10.31%), Mycobacterium (10.30%), Romboutsia (7.37%), Enterococcus (6.29%) and Lactococcus (5.38%) (P<0.05) (IP < EP). The bacterial community in intestine has high richness and diversity, IP mode is significantly higher than that in EP mode (P<0.05), but there is no significant difference between fish intestines (P>0.05). There are differences in the structure and function of the flora under the two culture modes, and there are a large proportion of bacterial communities with significant differences in relative abundance. Most of the dominant bacteria with significant differences are beneficial bacteria in the intestine of black sea bream in IP mode, while in the EP mode, the bacteria are mostly chronic or conditional pathogens.

    The aim is to investigate the elimination patterns of enrofloxacin in the lower water column of the fishery and the production of the metabolite ciprofloxacin, since antibiotics entering the water column are prone to accumulate in the lower water column or in the substrate sediment, and cause adverse effects on aquatic life. Common environmental factors (temperature and pH) in the fishery water were selected for the experiment, and effects of these two environmental factors on the degradation of enrofloxacin (ENR) in aqueous humor were investigated by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with orthogonal experiments, and the production and changes of the metabolite ciprofloxacin (CIP) were detected. The experimental results showed that the half-life variation of ENR in the nine treatment groups ranged from 13 to 32 d and the elimination rate ranged from 44% to 80%. Root ANOVA knots showed that pH changes had a significant effect on the degradation of enrofloxacin, while temperature changes did not have a significant effect, with the highest elimination rate of enrofloxacin at 25°C and pH 5. In addition, the production of ciprofloxacin was detected during the experiment, which reached the highest concentration (10.8 ng/mL) at pH 5 and 25°C on day 7 from the beginning of the experiment, and then gradually decreased to the concentration 0-0.16 ng/mL on day 26. This study clarifies the influence of environmental factors on enrofloxacin degradation and provides some theoretical guidance for reducing enrofloxacin residues in aquaculture environment.

    In order to explore the way of water spinach planting in floating bed affecting the water micro-ecological environment of tilapia aquaculture ponds, water spinach floating beds were set up in the ponds under the 10% coverage. These ponds served as the treatment group, while the other ponds without floating beds served as the control group. After the vigorous growth of water spinach, the samples of water from treatment ponds, control ponds, and the samples of water spinach roots were collected respectively. The DNA of the samples was extracted, part of them was used to amplify the 16S rRNA genes and carry out the high-throughput sequencing, to investigate the effect of water spinach planting on the bacterial community structure in water, and analyze the relationship between the root system of water spinach and the bacterial community structure of surrounding water. Another part of DNA was used to conduct the fluorescent quantitative PCR to determine the copy number of nitrogenase gene, and analyze the effect of water spinach planting on the nitrogenase genes in tilapia aquaculture pond ecosystems. The results showed that the direct effect of water spinach planting on the community structure of planktonic bacteria in the water was not significant; however, the root biofilm of water spinach played an important role as a key part of the pond micro-environment. At the same time, water spinach root biofilm also increased the number of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms per unit volume in pond water.

    In order to study the elimination technology of heavy metals in fishery water, the sources of heavy metal pollution were reviewed, mainly from industrial development, agricultural pesticides and fertilizer, and urbanization. The harm of fishery water pollution, which has a certain destructive effect on aquatic ecosystem and risks on quality of aquatic products and human life, was elucidated. Currently, there are mainly three ways for eliminating water heavy metals, including physical, chemical and microbiological ways. The combined utilization of plants, microorganisms and chemical materials could be the new direction for heavy mental elimination. Finally we pointed out the shortages of the related studies, such as the final treatment of heavy metals, which should be further studied.

    In this paper, we optimized the determination method for geosmin (GSM) and 2-mathylisoborneol (2-MIB) in aquaculture water and aquatic products by using the method of microwave distillation - solid-phase microextraction - gas chromatographic-mass spectrometry (MD-SPME-GC-MS). We optimized the four pre-treatment processing parameters, including carrier gas rate, microwave power, distillation time and collection method, and determined the experimental conditions as follows: carrier gas rate of 60 mL/min, microwave power of 400 W, distillation time of 6 min, and constant of 250 mL. In aquaculture water, the detection limit of GSM and 2-MIB reached 1 ng/L and 10 ng/L, respectively. In aquatic products, the detection limit of GSM and 2-MIB reached 0.025 μg/kg and 0.25 μg/kg, respectively. The standard curve of this method had good liner relation in the range of 1-200 ng/L and 10-200 ng/L (R2 was 0.9997 and 0.9982, respectively). The average recovery rate of GSM and 2-MIB at different concentrations (1, 5, 7, 10, and 20 μg/kg) was 45.28%-49.92% and 82.15%-87.36%, respectively. In this experiment, the water samples and aquatic product samples from Wuxi were detected by this method. The result showed that the average concentration of GSM and 2-MIB in the water samples was 19.58 ng /L and 58.29 ng /L, respectively. In aquatic products, only GSM was detected, and the average concentration was 0.61 μg/kg. This method can be widely used to detect fishy substances in aquaculture water and aquatic products.

    In order to explore the natural degradation rule of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) in aquaculture water, this experiment selected common factors in aquaculture water environmental (temperature, pH and open or cover system conditions), and explored influence of these three factors on the dynamic digestion of SMZ in natural aquaculture water through orthogonal experiment. The SMZ concentration of each treatment remained consistent in the initial stage of the experiment. Water samples were taken regularly to detect the change of SMZ concentration in water body, which is consistent with the first-order kinetic equation,and the half-life and elimination rate of SMZ in each treatment were calculated. The results showed that the variation range of SMZ half-life and its elimination rate in 18 treatment groups was 4.88-12.89-d, 28%-77%. Anova analysis showed that within the range of the experimental level, temperature and pH factors had a significant influence on SMZ elimination, but the influence of the open or cover condition was small. Therefore, properly adjusting the conditions of temperature and pH of aquaculture water was conducive to promoting SMZ degradation.

    By adding Chlorella to tilapia aquaculture water, this study aims to explore the optimal concentration of Chlorella for the degradation of N and P and the regulation of microbial community in aquaculture water. Control group (NC), low concentration group (LC), middle concentration group (MC) and high concentration group (HC) were set to explore the effects of different concentrations of Chlorella on reducing the concentration of N and P in tilapia aquaculture water. The 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology was used to analyze bacteria community structure changes of aquaculture water body. Compared with other treatment groups, N and P nutrition of water body in HC group decreased, and the degradation rate of nitrogen in three forms was NH4+-N>NO3--N>NO2--N. Compared with NC group, the microbial diversity of MC and HC group decreased. The relative abundance of Proteobacteria in each treatment group increased, while that of Bacteroidetes decreased, and the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes in HC group was the highest, the community richness was significantly correlated with the content of NH4+-N. In summary, Chlorella can absorb N and P nutrition from aquaculture water, regulate aquaculture water microbial community structure, and improve aquaculture water quality. The study could provide a theoretical basis for aquaculture production practice.

Meanwhile, the pollution load was estimated according to the export coefficient method approach and the equivalent standard pollution load method. 【Result】The results showed that: the actual load of agricultural non-point source pollution in Tanjiaban watershed decreased from 162.32 t in 2015 to 27.79 t in 2020, the total equivalent standard pollution load decreased from 62.44 m3 to 21.14 m3, and the dominant source of pollution changed from land utilization to livestock and poultry breeding. The total annual loads of TN, TP and COD of agricultural non-point source pollution in the watershed were 5.56, 0.86 and 21.37 t, respectively. The contribution of different pollution sources were found in the following order: livestock and poultry breeding > land utilization > rural life. TN, TP and COD load of pig breeding accounted for 50.91%, 64.20% and 46.66% of the total load of the watershed, respectively, making it the most important source of pollution in the region. TN was the most important non-point agricultural source in the watershed, and its equivalent standard pollution load accounted for 52.6% of the total load, followed by TP, with a pollution load rate of 40.7%, and the minimum equivalent standard pollution load rate of COD was 6.7%. According to the result of environmental pollution risk assessment, the alarm value of livestock and poultry manure load in Tanjiawan watershed was 0.489 and the risk level wasⅡ, indicating the environmental pollution was "slightly". There was still room for expansion of 10 815 pig’s equivalent on the basis of the current total amount of cultivation in the watershed. Since 2015, the intensity of non-point agricultural source pollution in Tanjiawan watershed has been reduced significantly. 【Conclusion】It was of great significance to keep a reasonable amount of livestock and poultry breeding, and to take some effective measures to promote the sustainable emission reduction of non-point agricultural source pollution in the typical watershed of the Danjiangkou Reservoir area.

    To investigate the effects of water parameters on the concentrations of heavy metals in water and fish muscle in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), using tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) weighed (57.9±0.87) g as experimental creature, we conducted a 60-day experiment in 8 small RASs simulating the actual work condition with changing several water parameters including alkalinity, dissolved oxygen (DO) and total suspended solid (TSS). The results showed that at the end of the experiment, alkalinity had obvious effect on the content of Cu, Zn in water and content of Zn in muscles; dissolved oxygen had obvious effect on the content of Cu in water and contents of Cu, Zn in muscles; TSS had no significant effect on contents of heavy metals in both water and muscles. However, in such experimental conditions, the contents of heavy metals in the muscle (the edible part of fish) of tilapia were under the limits of the national and industrial standards.

    In order to understand the impact of macroscopic algae aquaculture on the content of seawater dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and clarify the change process of DIC content in different conditions (light, dark, alternation of light and dark), Sargassum thunbergii and Hizikia fusiforme collected from Wenzhou Dongtou offshore were cultivated in laboratory, three treatments (light, dark, alternation of light and dark) were set in the experiment, DIC contents were measured and DIC change rates were analyzed. The results showed that: DIC consumption rate of Sargassum thunbergii was higher than that of Hizikia fusiforme under light condition. DIC release rate of Sargassum thunbergii was higher than that of Hizikia fusiforme under dark condition. DIC consumption rate of both Sargassum thunbergii and Hizikia fusiforme increased at first and then reduced under the light and dark alternation condition, and DIC consumption rate of Sargassum thunbergii was higher than that of Hizikia fusiforme. With the carrying out of the light and dark alternated process, photosynthetic consumed DIC and dark respiration released DIC converted continuously. Overall, the aquaculture of macroscopic algae decreased the DIC content of seawater and promoted the atmospheric CO2 transfer to seawater. With the harvest of macroscopic algae, a “removable carbon sink” was formed. The development of macroscopic algae aquaculture had important carbon sink ecological significance.

    Investigation on dynamics of Chl a concentration and water environment of four intensive fishponds, which cultured Oxyeleotris marmoratus, Ctenopharyngodon idellus, Micropterus salmoides and Channa argus, were carried out between May 2012 and December 2012 in Pearl River Delta. Variance analysis and Multiple Comparison (LSD) were used to study the difference of the water parameters of the fishponds, and stepwise multiple regression was used to analyze the relationships between Chl a and environmental factors in the investigating ponds, while the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) analysis was used to explore the water quality conditions. Results showed that TN, TP and Chemical Oxygen Demand (CODMn) of the ponds were varied from 1.52~22.76 mg/L, 0.20~4.82 mg/L and 3.71~50.76 mg/L, respectively, which indicated the water were overloaded by nutrients and organic contamination. There was significant difference on Chl a concentration (P<0.05) among the four kinds of fish ponds. Ctenopharyngodon idellus ponds had the highest Chl a concentration (mean value), followed by the Channa argus ponds and the Micropterus salmoides ponds, and the lowest was Oxyeleotris marmoratus ponds. Besides, the relationships between Chl a and environmental factors were different in each sampling ponds. Water environment parameters, such as salinity, conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), CODMn, TN, TP, NO3--N, PO43--P in Channa argus ponds were obviously higher (P<0.05) than other kinds. Based on SOM analysis, five clustering groups on water quality of all sampled ponds were found according to spatio-temporal patterns, and the water environment quality changed worse from Oxyeleotris marmoratus, Micropterus salmoides, Ctenopharyngodon idellus to Channa argus ponds.

    The authors had a field trip to wetlands of Wu River in Linyi, Shandong Province, collected samples to determine and analyze water quality indexes, such as N, P, COD and BOD. The experimental results showed that the constructed wetlands could remove 55% of TN, 76% of COD and 70% of BOD, but only had a low removal rate of P. The average concentration of TN and TP of eight sample points were 26.55 and 0.125 mg/L, respectively. According to the standard of eutrophication degree analysis (Thomas), the TP and TN of Wu River wetlands are in the rich degree of eutrophication level. Therefore, the eutrophication degree of constructed wetlands of Wu River is high overall, indicating that wastewater treatment does not develop well.

    In order to understand the impact of macroscopic algae farming on seawater DO content, to clear the change process of DO content, in light, dark, light and dark alternately conditions, Sargassum thunbergii and Hizikia fusiforme from Wenzhou Dongtou offshore were brought to the laboratory for breeding. Set light (2h, 6h, 12h), dark (2h, 6h, 12h), alternating light and dark (1h 1h, 6h 6h, 12h 12h) treatment conditions, DO was determined, also to analyzed its oxygen production rate and oxygen consumption rate. The result showed that: with the extension of farming time, Sargassum thunbergii and Hizikia fusiforme oxygen production rates were all declining, Sargassum thunbergii oxygen production rate was higher than Hizikia fusiforme (P<0.05); Under dark conditions, Sargassum thunbergii maximum oxygen consumption rate at the time of 6h up to 288.02mg/kgDW?h, Hizikia fusiforme maximum oxygen consumption rate at the time of 2h up to 207.46 mg / kgDW?h, Sargassum thunbergii oxygen consumption rate was higher than Hizikia fusiforme; Sargassum thunbergii net oxygen production rate under alternating light and dark increased slowly at first and then drastically reduced, the net oxygen production rate up to 457.08 mg / kgDW?h at the short alternating cycle (1h 1h). Hizikia fusiforme net oxygen production rate first increased and then decreased, while the medium alternating cycle (6h 6h) up to 64.04 mg / kgDW?h. Macroscopic algae farming with alternating light and dark environment when carried out, photosynthetic oxygen production and dark respiration oxygen consumption converted continuously. Overall, Macroscopic algae farming increased the DO content of the seawater. Ecological and social value of the macroscopic algae farming was significantly, it should be vigorously promoted.

    The paper aims to reveal the effect of cold air process on temperature of different aquatic water. The response and variation of water temperature of each water layer caused by cold air process were studied based on water temperature data of two different water bodies during the occurrence of cold air in spring and autumn in 2011 and 2012, by using statistical analysis method. Besides, the water temperature reduction prediction models of each water layer were also established. The results showed that: (1) after the cold air, the amplitude reduction of water temperature of shallow layer was larger than that of deep one, and the minimum water temperature of large water body appeared obviously later than that of small water body; (2) the greater the intensity of cold air process, the greater the difference of water temperature reduction was, temperature of small water body was more likely to decrease under cold air; (3) the correlation between small water body’s temperature reduction and meteorological elements was much better than that of larger water body’s; and shallow water layer’s temperature was more vulnerable to the change of external meteorological elements, while the effect on deep layer was relatively inconspicuous, especially in deep layer of large water body; (4) the simulation result of established water temperature reduction model of small water body was much better, and the result was relatively good in the shallow layers (10 to 50 cm water layer) of large water body, while less satisfied in the deep layers (100 to 150 cm water layer). Thus, the predictive model established based on related meteorological factors can provide production guidance and warning during the critical aquaculture period in spring and autumn.

    In order to protect the water environmental quality of Huaihua City and provide scientific basis for the construction of ecological livable city of Huaihua, the author made a field investigation and monitoring of water quality of Taiping River of Huaihua City, which was divided into mean and dry water periods. The author also made a comprehensive evaluation of water quality with the monitoring data of the past years of Taiping River. The results showed that the content of TP and NH3-N of each section was high, which all exceeded the state V water quality standard. The content of DO in water was low. Some section did not reach IV water quality standard and some even did not reach V water quality standard. Wantan section had a higher content of TP and NH3-N than Chenjia section, which explained the pollution of Taiping River had a certain effect on the water quality of Wushui River. Combined with the monitoring data of the past years of Taiping River, the author found that the content of DO in water decreased continuously, and the content of TP increased continuously. The water pollution was increasingly serious. Therefore, further management of Taiping River is very important to the protection of Wushui River and the construction of ecological livable city of Huaihua.

    Heavy metal pollution in groundwater has become a worldwide problem. It may affect the water quality for daily use and thus the health of people. Based on the samples analysis of drinkable water from wells, which was the source of drinking water of the rural residents in Shenyang, health risks associated with heavy metal in rural drinking water in Shenyang were assessed using USEPA health risk assessment model. Results showed that, for the total collecting samples of the underground drinking water, the concentration of Hg, Pb in some samples exceeded the Chinese national standard for Drinking Water Quality (GB 5749-2006), so it should be taken into account seriously. For the total health risks caused by the way of drinking water, there were 6 sections of 17 investigated sample sections in this study where the health risks resulting from both non-carcinogens and carcinogens exceeded the maximum allowance levels recommended by ICRP (5.00×10-5 a-1). The health risks caused by the non-carcinogens were significantly lower than the standard value, illustrating that the health risks caused by the carcinogens was the main source in the study area. The greatest health risk to the individual through drinking water was Cr6+, followed by As and Cd. The carcinogens risk caused by Cr6+ ranged from 10-4 a-1 to 10-6 a-1, contributing to 52.64 to 100 percent of the total risks, Cr6+ was regarded as the main pollution that caused the health risks. Therefore, the pollution of Cr6+ in drinking groundwater should be firstly taken into account for prevention and treatment.

    Water environment with high density of fish feeding was simulated under Biotron Open Type and natural condition in Jingzhou of Jianghan Plain, and day-night aquaculture water observation of DO (dissolved oxygen) and water temperature variation were carried out by using water quality multi-parameter monitoring system in a totally open way. Dynamic balance formula was used to calculate water-atmosphere DO rate, oxygen production of photosynthesis, oxygen consuming rate of grass carp and water body; grass carp survival time under low oxygen condition was also observed. The result shows that, oxygen consuming rate of water body in pool is 1.22-1.83 mg/(L·h), while oxygen consuming rate of grass carp is 78.6-210.0 mg/(L·h) when water body DO is above 1.5 mg/L. The oxygen consuming rate of aquaculture ponds in high density fish feeding environment is more than 4 times of the oxygen consuming rate of fish. The oxygen dissolution rate of water-atmosphere interface is low. And oxygen production of photosynthesis is 3.47-4.33 mg/(L·h) in rainy or cloudy days, which is more than the total oxygen consuming rate of fish and aquaculture ponds, while oxygen production of photosynthesis in rainy days cannot maintain favorable environment in aquaculture ponds. The grass carp would gasping for air but still survive 5 more days in low DO environment as 0.1-0.4 mg/L. The result also indicates that lacking oxygen could cause the increase of H2S and CH4 in the bottom of aquaculture ponds; water convection in aquaculture ponds and increase of toxic substances caused by rain is the main reason of suffocation.

    In order to optimize the design parameters of parabolic screen filter, a serial of experiments were developed under different conditions, such as screen size, inclination angle and water treatment. Removal rate of solid particles was considered as the evaluation indicator of the performance of parabolic screen filter. Screen size was set from 0.10 to 0.25 mm, inclination angle was set to be 37° and 53°, and influent water flow rate was set from 10 to 20 m3/h. Results showed that the particle removal rate had a certain correlation with screen size, it decreased with the increase of screen size. So the screen size was suggested to be equal to or less than mean diameter of solid particles. On the other hand, the removal rate had a negative correlation with influent water flow rate. The optimum hydraulic loading rate should be controlled lower than 50 m3/(m2?h). At last, larger inclination angle in appropriate range would be benefit for the enhancement of solid particle removal. In a word, parabolic screen filter is advisable and suitable for solid particle removal in aquaculture water treatment.

    Reed is perennial wetland vegetation, whose root has the ability to release oxygen and oxidants into the rhizosphere, and form iron oxides at the root surface or rhizosphere. According to the amphoteric colloid ability of reed root biogenic iron oxides, the iron oxides were used as adsorbing material obtained by the methods of both direct obtaining and high temperature carbonization, the adsorption effect of this material to pentavalent arsenic [As (V)] was studied by isotherm method. The results showed that the As (V) adsorption ability of iron oxides under acidic condition was significantly higher than that in neutral or alkaline condition. The adsorption content increased with the increase of As concentration in the external medium solution, when the As concentration was 200 mg/L, the adsorption content of two iron oxides treatments reached (17.00±3.25) and (12.82±1.01) mg/g, respectively. The adsorption of As by iron oxides could be well described by Langmuir and Freundlich isothermal adsorption model. The maximum adsorption amounts of As obtained by Langmuir isotherm equation were (17.72±1.09) and (21.94±6.74) mg/g, respectively. Therefore, the biogenic iron oxides had strong absorption ability to As (V). Overall consideration of the adsorption ability and the feasibility of polluted water management, iron oxides treated by high temperature carbonization were better than that of direct obtaining.

At the end of the experiment, the growth performance of yellow catfish in each treatment were assessed to determine the optimum stocking density. The results showed that the final body weight,weight gain and specific growth rate of yellow catfish decreased with the increasing of stocking density, and the significant difference were found among group D1, D2 and D3 (P<0.05). The condition factor in D1 and D2 was significantly bigger than it in D3 and D4 (P<0.05). The nitrite nitrogen in surrounding water (p<0.05) was significantly affected by the stocking density, and the levels of nitrite nitrogen increased with the increasing of stocking density. While the total nitrogen and nitrateSnitrogen were not affected by the stocking density (P>0.05). During the first 18 days, the contents of ammonia nitrogen in all groups were stable at a low level and then increased significantly until the end of the experiment. Total phosphorus and phosphate showed were also not affected by the stocking density and their levels fluctuated within a certain range during the experiment period. Increase in stocking density would reduce the growth rate of yellow catfish and increase the harmful substances in surrounding water which could accelerate the deterioration of water quality.
