紫外放射被知道影响水的主要制片人和他们的 grazers。然而,很少在浮游动物放牧上在它的效果上被记录了。在这研究,作者调查了光合地活跃的放射的效果(同等, 400700 nm ) ,紫外 -- 一(紫外 A, 320400 nm ) 并且 ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280320 nm ) 放牧上的放射,死亡和桡脚类的动物 Acartia pacifica 的类脂化合物氧化从厦门海湾收集了。在暴露的 30 min 以后,桡脚类的动物在二房间集中用硅藻 Phaeodactylum tricornutum 在黑暗被喂(2.5
UV radiation is known to affect aquatic primary producers and their grazers. However, little has been documented on its effects on zooplankton grazing. In this study, the authors investigated the effects of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR, 400–700 nm), ultraviolet-A (UV-A, 320–400 nm) and ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280–320 nm) radiation on grazing, mortality and lipids oxidation of the copepod Acartia pacifica collected from the Xiamen Bay. After 30 min of the exposures, the copepod was fed in darkness with the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum at two cell concentrations (2.5 × 10 4 and 2.5 × 10 5 cells/ml). At the low cell concentration, the individuals pre-exposed to PAR (218.0 W/m 2 )+UV-A (48.2 W/m 2 ) or PAR+UV-A+UV-B (2.1 W/m 2 ) showed suppressed clearance and grazing activities compared with those receiving PAR alone, by 22.7% and 17.1% for clearance and by 22.6% and 5.5% for grazing rates, respectively. However, the suppression on clearance and grazing became indistinctive at the high food concentration. Exposures to UV-A and UV-B led to increased lipid oxidation and higher mortality, furthermore, the mortality linearly increased with enhanced oxidation of lipid.
