In response to these challenges, the development and expansion of marine ranching have emerged as a crucial solution. Notably, zooplankton is acknowledged as an essential indicator for evaluating the ecological health of marine ranching. This study examined the spatiotemporal distribution of copepod abundance and its reaction to environmental factors, utilizing data collected from the marine ranching area of Haizhou Bay (Lianyungang, Jiangsu, China) between 2003 and 2022. The results showed that copepod abundance exhibited a notable pattern, with higher levels in spring compared to summer and autumn, and was consistently distributed uniformly in the central region of the marine ranching area. During El Niño years, copepod abundance was more likely to be found outside the bay, unlike non-El Niño years, where the opposite distribution was noted. The generalized additive model (GAM) revealed that the primary environmental factors influencing copepod abundance across various seasons included temperature, SiO₃⁻–Si, NO₃⁻–N, and Chlorophyll <em>a</em>. However, during El Niño events, the key environmental factors shifted to temperature, NO₃⁻–N, and dissolved oxygen (DO). The study concluded that nutrients influence copepod abundance across different climate conditions. During intense El Niño events, temperature was also found to affect copepod abundance indirectly. It was also noted that diatoms are less likely to directly impact copepod abundance through direct predation–prey interactions. The findings of this study provide valuable insights that can enhance our ability to predict changes in zooplankton populations within marine ranching systems as they respond to global climate change. This knowledge is crucial for conducting thorough assessments of the ecological benefits associated with marine ranching and for guiding its sustainable development. Ultimately, this research's data and scientific references generated from this research will be instrumental in evaluating offshore ecological environments and facilitating practical ecosystem restoration efforts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54698,"journal":{"name":"Ocean & Coastal Management","volume":"267 ","pages":"Article 107736"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143941273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The eutrophication status of the bay was assessed using the eutrophication index (EI), nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio (N/P), and single-factor pollution index (SFPI). The results indicate a rising trend in DIN concentrations, while DIP levels are declining, leading to an N/P ratio far exceeding the Redfield ratio of 16:1, suggesting a persistent nitrogen surplus in Bohai Bay. Eutrophication levels were found to be higher in spring and summer, with EI values peaking at 3.593 in spring 2024 and 4.705 in summer 2021. Additionally, coastal regions exhibited significantly higher eutrophication levels than the central bay. A strong negative correlation between DO and DIN suggests that nitrogen-driven eutrophication has intensified hypoxia.

These factors include collaboration across sectors (non-governmental organizations, academia, research institutes, international experts, and governmental ministries), reliance on the best available scientific data, extensive stakeholder engagement, and a planning approach that explicitly allows for adjustments and revisions based on new data and evolving conditions.

Water samples were collected twice per tide: (1) one day before water discharge for shrimp harvesting, and (2) one day after water intake into grow-out ponds.

Linear mixed-effects models were employed to identify significant differences in water and sediment parameters among various mangrove age groups.

Litterfall accumulation in the bottom pond was greatest in older mangrove groups. Findings revealed significant relationships between the first sediment layer and various water parameters, emphasizing the importance of managing this layer for suitable water quality in shrimp farming. Based on linear regression, dredging is recommended if the top sediment layer is approximately 10-cm thick to maintain good water quality.
