摘要/Abstract

摘要： 翼足类隶属于软体动物门腹足纲异鳃亚纲, 终生营浮游生活, 是海洋浮游动物的重要类群, 我国关于该类群的生物多样性与分布研究较为缺乏。南海具有河口、陆架、深海海盆和岛礁等多种生境, 海洋生物多样性高。本研究基于2022–2023年在南海开展4个航次所采集的浮游动物样品, 结合体视显微镜与扫描电子显微镜观察, 旨在厘清南海翼足类物种多样性及其分布格局。共鉴定翼足类26种, 隶属于13科18属。发现4个中国海新记录种, 即优雅小龟螺(Diacavolinia elegans)、加氏蝴蝶螺(Desmopterus gardineri)、四褶背鳃螺(Notobranchaea tetrabranchiate)和克氏长吻螺(Cliopsis krohnii), 并进行详细的形态描述。南海翼足类物种组成存在明显的区域差异: 陆架区物种最为丰富, 岛礁区物种较少; 近岸区翼足类丰度较高但多样性较低, 开阔深海则呈现丰度较低而多样性较高的特征; 垂直分布上, 翼足类主要富集于0–200 m水层, 其丰度与多样性随深度增加显著降低。此外, 不同生态区域间的优势种组成存在差异, 反映出翼足类对不同生境的生态适应策略。本研究更新了南海翼足类的物种名录, 提供了详细的分布信息, 能为南海浮游动物分类学、生物多样性研究以及海洋生态系统监测提供重要的基础资料。

Abstract

Aims: Pteropods (Mollusca: Gastropoda) play a key role in marine ecosystems and biodiversity, contributing to critical processes such as the marine food web and carbon cycle. However, their diversity and distribution in the South China Sea (SCS) remain poorly understood. To address these gaps and enhance the understanding of their regional biogeography, this study aimed to systematically investigate the species diversity and spatial distribution patterns of pteropods (Mollusca: Gastropoda) in the South China Sea.

Methods: Zooplankton samples were collected during four cruises across various ecological regions, including estuarine, shelf, basin, and island/reef areas of the South China Sea between 2022 and 2023. Species were identified based on morphological examination using stereomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Ecological indices, including species richness, Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Pielou evenness index, and dominance index, were calculated to analyze community structure.

Results: A total of 26 pteropod species belonging to 13 families and 18 genera were identified, including four new records for the South China Sea: Diacavolinia elegans van der Spoel, Bleeker & Kobayasi, 1993, Desmopterus gardineri Tesch, 1910, Notobranchaea tetrabranchiate Bonnevie, 1913, and Cliopsis krohnii Troschel, 1854. Notable regional heterogeneity was observed: the Pearl River Estuary–western shelf area showed the highest species richness (22 species), while the northern island/reef area had the lowest (6 species). Horizontally, coastal areas exhibited higher abundance but lower diversity, whereas open-sea areas showed the reverse pattern. Vertically, pteropods were predominantly concentrated in the 0–200 m layer, with abundance and diversity declining sharply with depth. The composition of dominant species varied markedly among different ecological regions.

Conclusions: This study updates the species checklist of pteropods in the South China Sea and reveals clear spatial partitioning in their community structure, reflecting adaptations to distinct habitats. The findings provide essential baseline data for understanding regional marine biodiversity and monitoring ecosystem changes in this marginal sea.
