Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Both laboratory and field experiments using Anadara kagoshimensis showed that there was a positive correlation between the term of exposure to hypoxia and the thickness of the layer at the growth line, calculated as the relative value of the individual growth rate. From columnar samples collected at three locations in Lake Nakaumi, bivalve communities were changed from mud-bottom species such as A. kagoshimensis and Paphia undulata in the low layer into opportunistic and pollution index species such as Theora fragilis and Raetellops pulchellus in the upper layers. Several growth lines indicating hypoxic environment were observed in the cross-section of the shell body that was collected from the lower layer of the columnar sample. This revealed that hypoxia had occasionally occurred in Lake Nakaumi before the construction of reclamation banks. It was also shown that the Mn concentration in the shell collected in the hypoxic region in Lake Nakaumi takes a higher value.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年、内湾や湖沼では貧酸素水塊の発生や長期化が増え、水生生物への影響が問題となっている。不十分な環境影響評価のまま実施された干拓・堤防建設などが環境にあたえた影響は、事後に十分に把握できない現状がある。本研究は、貝殻のような長期保存され入手可能な硬組織から,貧酸素の発生状況を読み取ることを可能にした。貧酸素に強いサルボウガイの貝殻から貧酸素を耐えた成長停止線を読み取り、また、貝殻の炭酸カルシウムに混ざるMn濃度で貧酸素の程度を推定する方法を提案した。実例として、人為的改変の少なかった時代にも中海で貧酸素化が起こっていたことをサルボウガイ殻体から読み取った。
