Additionally, an ecological resilience assessment framework is established to evaluate the level of ecological resilience along the Jiaozhou Bay coastline and identify issues in the utilization of coastal resources. The results indicate that: (1) The mouth of Jiaozhou Bay, the coastline from Xidayang Village to Dongdayang Village, Cangkou Bay, and the northern side of Yanghe Mouth are suitable for production use; the coastline from Matui Reef to Tuandao and from Xidayang Village to Suliu Village is suitable for living use; the wetland area on the northern side of Jiaozhou Bay is suitable for ecological protection.

Thus, the objective of the present study was to assess the effects of extreme hypoxia (∼27 % dissolved oxygen for 12 h) on swimming behavior, ventilation, and heart rates in newborn seahorses <em>Hippocampus hippocampus.</em> Moreover, seahorses’ physiological responses to different chemical cues (conspecific, prey and predators) after exposure to acute hypoxia conditions were also analyzed. Results indicate that under oxygen depletion, seahorses showed a significant decrease in ventilation and heart rates, while their swimming activity tended to decrease, although not significantly. Furthermore, when seahorses were exposed to odor cues from a potential predator, their ventilation and heart rates increased significantly, however, this increment was higher under control than hypoxic conditions. This study shows that early-stage seahorses may lack the physiological coping mechanisms found in adults when exposed to hypoxia, thus facing greater challenges under climate change conditions.

In this study, four cruises were conducted in May (spring), July (summer), September (fall), and December (winter) of 2022 to investigate early fish resources and environmental characteristics in Daya Bay waters. The K-means clustering algorithm was employed to classify water masses in Daya Bay, and the distribution patterns of temperature and salinity, along with their seasonal variations, were systematically analyzed. Additionally, based on the classification of water masses, we compared fish egg communities between seasons and water mass regions to examine the structure of fish egg communities under different hydrographic conditions. The main findings of this study were as follows: in the present study, 51 fish egg species were identified, belonging to six orders, 22 families and 35 genera. The number of fish egg species ranged from high to low was spring, summer, autumn and winter, while the average abundance ranged from high to low was spring, summer, winter and autumn. The K-means clustering method was utilized to classify Daya Bay into coastal water mass (CWM), nuclear power plant warming water mass (NWWM), high salinity water mass (HSW) outside Daya Bay, mixed water mass (MWM) and Pearl River dilution water mass (PRDWM). By integrating salinity and water temperature data, we identified associations between fish eggs and specific water masses. The mean abundance of fish eggs was highest in thermal discharge from nuclear power plants during spring and autumn; in seasonally mixed water during summer; and in littoral water of the Bay during winter. These results indicate that the thermal discharge from nuclear power plants has had specific effects on the water masses in the adjacent sea areas, forming a distinct oceanic water temperature fronts.
