摘要

The naturally occurring radionuclides ~(210)Po and ~(210)Pb can be used as geochemical tracers in marine systems, but their interactions with biota in surface waters need to be understood before oceanographic data can be interpreted unambiguously. We compared the food chain dynamics of these radionuclides in plankton assemblages by measuring the uptake and trophic transfer of ~(210)Po and ~(210)Pb from phytoplankton to brine shrimp Artemia sp. to euphausiids Meganyctiphanes norvegica under controlled laboratory conditions. The ratio of ~(210)Po:~(210)Pb within organisms increased 5- to 12-fold with each trophic level (phytoplankton to grazer to carnivore), reflecting a preferential bioaccumulation of ~(210)Po over ~(210)Pb. M, norvegica assimilated 44 % of the polonium ingested but only 3.5% of the ~(210)Pb ingested. Because ~(210)Pb was unassimilated, the ratio of ~(210)Po:~(210)Pb was 1 to 2 orders of magnitude smaller in zooplankton fecal pellets than in the animals producing them. These results suggest that in surface waters ~(210)Po has the potential to build up in food chains and be biologically recycled, whereas ~(210)Pb would not build up in marine food chains and would display shorter residence times. Since euphausiids comprise an important link between small plankton and larger predatory animals in many marine ecosystems, they may serve as an important conduit of ~(210)Po to those predators consumed as seafood by humans.
