Two multivariate analyses were used to elucidate spatial relationships between these two environmental heterogeneities. Cluster analyses based on phytoplankton composition indicated three different water masses that approximately correspond to the northern, western, and central-to-southern parts of the hay. Mult.iple discriminant analysis in water quality indicated that spatial dif­ ferences in phytoplankton composition throughout the bay were a primary response ofthe phytoplankton community to in situ spatial variations in the physical and chemical environ­ ment as represented by water quality.

  • Assessment of Ichthyofauna at Oyster Rafts in Hiroshima Bay, Japan, Using Underwater Video Cameras
    Aquacult. Sci. 66（4），267－274（2018） Assessment of ichthyofauna at oyster rafts in Hiroshima Bay, Japan, using underwater video cameras ＊ Atsushi TSUYUKI and Tetsuya UMINO Abstract: There is little information on fish communities around oyster farms, though oyster rafts provide habitats for fish and are important fishing grounds. We investigated the ichthyofauna at oyster rafts supporting Crassostrea gigas in Hiroshima Bay, using underwater video cameras. The fish species composition around the rafts was unique, consisting of identified 18 species, with low similarities to the fish community in nearby littoral areas. Several commercially important fishes, including black sea bream Acanthopagrus schlegelii, filefish Thamnaconus modestus, and surfperch Ditrema temmincki, aggregated at the oyster rafts throughout the year. The abundance of A. schlegelii (68%-85% relative abundance) accounting for most of the fish at the rafts, except in summer. The video recordings revealed that A. schlegelii, T. modestus, and D. temmincki preyed on the sessile organisms (probably mollusks, crustaceans and macroalgae) which had abundantly attached to the oyster wires. Thus, the large and persistent aggregations of fishes suggests that the oyster rafts efficiently function as an artificial reef in the regional ecosystem.

Abstract Stable isotopes can provide useful knowledge about sources and processes within an ecosystem. The stable isotopes of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) were used to investigate trophic relationships of relatively commercially important 21 finfish species, cephalopods in Hiroshima Bay. Among 21 finfish species, the lowest mean δ15N of 14.4‰ was recorded for Engraulis japonicus and Hyporhamphus sajori while the highest mean δ15N of 16.8‰ was recorded for Sebasticus marmoratus. The lowest and highest mean δ13C were noted -17.6‰ for Chromis notata and H. sajori, and -15.3‰ for Pagrus major and Sillago japonica, respectively. Including with cephalopods, the highest mean δ13C and δ15N noted at -14.8‰ and 17.3‰ for Sepioteuthis lessoniana.

The output from a simple two-layer box model and nitrogen mea- surements in the bay over a 1 year period were used to estimate the nitrogen budget in the northern Hiroshima Bay（NH）. The annual dissolved inorganic nitrogen（DIN） budgets indicated that all input terms to the northern Hiroshima Bay were equivalent to 22±7.8 ton N d－1, whereas DIN export to the central part of the bay was equivalent to 14±13 ton N d－1. These results suggest that a significant part of DIN input is consumed by phytoplank- ton and converted into the particulate form in the NH region. Estimated filtration rates of cultured oysters（7.3 ton N d－1） suggested that oyster cultures play a significant role for re- moving the particulate N from the water column in Hiroshima Bay. In addition, the amount of nitrogen harvested as oyster products was about 0.66 ton N d－1, which is about 6% of daily terrestrial DIN input into the NH region. The removal rate through oyster harvesting is five times higher than that by fishing activities, suggesting that oyster culture plays a sig- nificant role on the recycling of nitrogen from Hiroshima Bay to the land. Key words: environmental impacts, Hiroshima Bay, nitrogen budgets, oyster cultures Bivalve aquaculture has some additional function of the Seto Inland Sea of Japan, having a surface other than food production, and can have a variety area of ca.
