    摘要:

    随着人类活动的加剧,水下人为噪声已成为海洋生态系统重要的污染源。近年来,国内外学者较为系统地研究了船舶航运、海上风电等的噪声对鱼类的影响,然而有关养殖工船这一新兴养殖设施噪声影响的研究仍较为匮乏,解析其噪声对鱼类的影响可为研发噪声控制技术和制定养殖管理策略提供重要理论依据。本研究以大黄鱼(Larimichthys crocea)为实验动物,系统探究了其行为、生理及脑组织基因表达对养殖工船不同频率(200、400、600、800和1000Hz)持续噪声的响应。结果表明,大黄鱼对工船噪声的响应具有明显的频率特异性与时间依赖性。在行为与生理层面,200-600 Hz噪声仅诱发大黄鱼短时的应激反应,而800 Hz和1000 Hz噪声暴露会导致大黄鱼进入慢性应激状态,表现为游泳、呼吸等的持续异常,以及应激激素水平升高,表明大黄鱼对该频段噪声具有较高敏感性。在分子层面,800 Hz和1000 Hz 噪声主要通过激活脑组织钙信号通路,驱动HPI轴和交感神经持续激活。为减轻钙超载及兴奋毒性,脑组织通过抑制氧化磷酸化降低氧化应激水平,同时增强细胞外基质合成以修复损伤神经元,上述代偿机制可能导致能量供给受限及神经可塑性受损。此外,不同频率噪声对脑组织的损伤机制存在差异。800 Hz噪声主要诱导TNF-α介导的神经炎症与细胞凋亡,而1000 Hz噪声则显著抑制DNA修复和扰乱蛋白质合成稳态。综上所述,800-1000 Hz频段的工船连续噪声会对大黄鱼造成从行为到分子层面的多维度负面影响。因此,在深远海养殖工船的减振降噪设计与作业管理中,应重点降低800-1000 Hz频段噪声辐射,这对保障养殖个体的健康与福利具有重要意义。

    Abstract:

    As marine industrialization accelerates, anthropogenic underwater noise has emerged as a pervasive environmental stressor, significantly altering the "Anthropocene ocean soundscape." Among emerging noise sources, deep-sea aquaculture vessels characterized by continuous, low-frequency mechanical emissions present a unique but poorly understood threat to wild marine animals and cultured species. This study systematically evaluated the impact of aquaculture vessel noise (200-1000 Hz) on the large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea), a species of high economic value and vocal sensitivity. By integrating behavioral observations, physiological assays, and brain transcriptomics, we characterized the frequency-dependent and time-dependent responses of L. crocea to sustained acoustic stress. The experimental design utilized five noise frequency groups (200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 Hz) at a constant sound pressure level of 100 ± 2 dB, with sampling conducted across seven time points up to 24 h. Behavioral results indicated that all noise frequencies initially triggered acute stress, evidenced by significant increases in swimming speed, tail-beat frequency, and opercular beat rate. However, while individuals in the 200-600 Hz groups demonstrated behavioral habituation and returned to baseline levels within 24 hours, those in the 800 Hz and 1000 Hz groups remained in a state of heightened activity, indicating the onset of chronic stress. Physiological analysis corroborated these behavioral trends. Specifically, 800 Hz and 1000 Hz noise exposure triggered sustained elevations in serum cortisol and adrenaline levels, signaling prolonged activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis and the sympathetic-adrenal medulla system. In contrast, lower frequency treatments (200-400 Hz) did not induce significant long-term changes in these stress biomarkers. Glucose levels exhibited transient spikes in the 800 Hz group during early exposure, likely to mobilize energy for "fight or flight" responses, before stabilizing. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying these responses, transcriptomic profiling was performed on brain tissues from the 800 Hz and 1000 Hz groups. We identified 3,668 and 1,107 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the 800 Hz and 1000 Hz treatments, respectively. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that both frequencies significantly perturbed calcium signaling pathways, leading to potential intracellular calcium overload and excitotoxicity. To mitigate this, brain tissues exhibited an adaptive but costly downregulation of oxidative phosphorylation related genes to reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, alongside a systemic upregulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling genes to repair neural damage. Notably, the two sensitive frequencies induced distinct forms of cellular injury: 800 Hz noise primarily activated TNF-α-mediated neuroinflammation and pro-apoptotic pathways, while 1000 Hz noise significantly suppressed DNA repair mechanisms and protein homeostasis, potentially impairing cognitive and memory functions. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that L. crocea is particularly vulnerable to aquaculture vessel noise in the 800-1000 Hz range. Chronic exposure at these frequencies leads to multi-level physiological exhaustion, metabolic suppression, and structural remodeling of the central nervous system. These results provide a critical scientific basis for the acoustic design of deep-sea aquaculture platforms, suggesting that noise mitigation strategies should specifically target the 800-1000 Hz frequency band to safeguard fish welfare and the sustainability of the aquaculture industry.
