Abstract

The northern East China Sea is currently subjected to anthropogenic disturbances during the past few decades. Using data collected in July 2019 and July 2020, the AZTI's Marine Biotic Index (AMBI), multivariate-AMBI (M-AMBI), Shannon–Wiener diversity index (H′), and BENTIX index were adopted to assess their applicability and evaluate the benthic ecological quality of the northern East China Sea. The results of the Pearson correlation between biotic indices and eutrophication environmental factors showed that H′ and M-AMBI were suitable biotic indices for evaluating the benthic ecological quality in the northern East China Sea rather than AMBI and BENTIX. The overall benthic ecological quality in the northern East China Sea was moderate to good during 2019–2020. Ecological quality showed a positive correlation with distance to mainland. However, a slow declining trend was detected for the benthic ecological quality of the northern East China Sea, especially the nearshore areas.

检验东海北部海洋生物指标对生态质量的适用性

在过去的几十年里，东海北部受到人为干扰。利用2019年7月和2020年7月的数据，采用AZTI海洋生物指数(AMBI)、多元生物多样性指数(M-AMBI)、Shannon-Wiener多样性指数(H’)和BENTIX指数，对其适用性和东海北部底栖生物生态质量进行评价。生物指数与富营养化环境因子之间的Pearson相关结果表明，H '和M-AMBI是评价东海北部底栖生物生态质量的最佳生物指标，而AMBI和BENTIX则不适合。2019-2020年东海北部底栖生物生态质量总体为中等至良好。生态质量与大陆距离呈正相关。然而，东海北部，特别是近岸地区的底栖生物生态质量呈缓慢下降趋势。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Sea Research is an international and multidisciplinary periodical on marine research, with an emphasis on the functioning of marine ecosystems in coastal and shelf seas, including intertidal, estuarine and brackish environments. As several subdisciplines add to this aim, manuscripts are welcome from the fields of marine biology, marine chemistry, marine sedimentology and physical oceanography, provided they add to the understanding of ecosystem processes.
