摘要

We measured dissolved methane (CH_4) and its carbon isotope ratio (~(13)C/ ~(12)C or δ~(13)C) from surface to bottom seawaters (maximum depth: 3574 m) for the first time in three major offshore areas of the Japan Sea (East Sea): the eastern Japan Basin, Yamato Basin, and Ulleung Basin. Seawater samples were taken during the KT-07-24 cruise of the R/V Tansei Maru in 2007 as part of a Japan-Korea collaborative study. The CH_4 concentration and its δ(13)C_(PDM) were obtained by continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometry. While the CH_4 concentrations of surface seawater were 2.6-3.8 nmol kg~(-1), which was 43( ± 22)% supersaturated compared to the atmospheric equilibrium values, those in the subsurface (D = 30-150 m) showed much higher values up to 9.7 nmol kg~(-1) (~300% supersaturation). This subsurface CH_4 had the minimum δ~(13)C value of - 54.3‰ (less than the atmospheric CH_4 value of -47‰), implying a contribution from in situ microbial CH_4 production in some anoxic microenvironments. The CH_4 concentration decreased with depth toward minimum values of-1 nmol kg~(-1) (δ~(13)C: -30 to -40‰) at 1500-2000 m depth. Below a depth of 2000 m, we found a clear difference in CH_4 profiles among the three basins; in the eastern Japan Basin the CH_4 concentration remained almost constant down to the seafloor, while it gradually increased with depth up to >2.0 nmol kg~(-1) in the Yamato and Ulleung basins. This CH_4 increase toward the bottom was accompanied by a decrease of δ~(13)C-CH_4 to less than-50‰, suggesting a microbial CH_4 supply from bottom sediment in the Yamato and Ulleung basins. We observed a local CH_4 plume over a deep channel east of the Yamato Basin, indicating unknown submarine CH_4 seepage with a microbial δ~(13)C value of about -60‰.
