利用模糊数学综合评价原理和层次分析法,建立了一套参考生物选择的数学处理流程。以关心度为选择指标,通过建立预选种群、确定选择指标、确定指标权重,并对指标进行量化和模糊计算得到了指标的模糊关系矩阵,最后计算得到了预选种群的关心度,实现了多种准则下的综合评价。以EPIC(environmental protection from ionizing contaminants in the arctic)为例计算了16种生物种群的关心度,发现了包括以浮游植物为食的哺乳动物在内的生物种群更加适合于做参考生物。
Phytoplankton abundance was found to be positively correlated with seasonal changes of seawater temperature in Port Shelter and Lamma Channel, Hong Kong in 1998. Rising water temperature from around 20℃ to 25℃ coincided with an increase in phytoplankton abundance at both locations. Heavy rains from June to September reduced salinity from 30 to 20, but the decrease in salinity was not correlated with a decline in phytoplankton abundance. In spring 1998, over 0.6×10^6 cells dm^-3 and 0.1× 10^6 cells dm^-3 of the dinoflagellate, Gymnodinium mikimotoi Miyake et Kominami ex Oda occurred in the coastal waters of Port Shelter and Lamina Channel, respectively. High abundance of the dinoflagellate Ceratium furca (Ehr.) Claparede et Lachmann (〉1×10^6 cells dm^-3) produced long-lasting blooms in the waters of Port Shelter from September to October in 1998. The abundances of both diatoms and dinoflagellates were significantly lower in the waters of Lamina Channel than those in Port Shelter due to the less frequent blooms in 1998. Hydrographic conditions such as stable water masses and water column stratification were the main reasons for the differences in the algal abundance and bloom frequency found between the two locations since neither of the two areas appeared to be nutrient-limited. This type water condition for the formation of algal bloom in Port Shelter has not been reported previously and it is not a general case for many bays along China's coast where algal bloom occurs as well.
