我们提出了第一个远程操作的车辆调查巨型底栖动物群落(1004年至1695年 米水深)在赫布里底阶地海山(东北大西洋)。电导率-温度-深度铸件显示,顶端以下的光迅速衰减,侧翼的海洋学状况与内部潮汐一致,水温、盐度、光衰减、文石和氧的短期变化很大,深达1500 m。物种组成的微小变化(3%-14%)可以用深度、底层和海洋稳定性的变化来解释,而环境变化对物种丰富度的变化(40%-56%)的解释要大得多。物种丰富度出现两个高峰,第一个出现在1300-1400 m,较凉爽的Wyville Thomson溢流水与副热带环流水混合,第二个出现在1500-1600 m,Wyville Thomson溢流水与亚极地模式水混合。我们的结果表明,内潮、底物非均质性和海洋界面可能会增强罗卡尔海槽该海山和邻近海山上的生物多样性。
We present the first remotely operated vehicle investigation of megabenthic communities (1004–1695 m water depth) on the Hebrides Terrace Seamount (Northeast Atlantic). Conductivity-temperature-depth casts showed rapid light attenuation below the summit and an oceanographic regime on the flanks consistent with an internal tide, and high short-term variability in water temperature, salinity, light attenuation, aragonite and oxygen down to 1500 m deep. Minor changes in species composition (3–14%) were explained by changes in depth, substratum and oceanographic stability, whereas environmental variability explained substantially more variation in species richness (40–56%). Two peaks in species richness occurred, the first at 1300–1400 m where cooler Wyville Thomson Overflow Water (WTOW) mixes with subtropical gyre waters and the second at 1500–1600 m where WTOW mixes with subpolar mode waters. Our results suggest that internal tides, substrate heterogeneity and oceanographic interfaces may enhance biological diversity on this and adjacent seamounts in the Rockall Trough.
