本研究之進行時間擬從 2014 年 8 月到 2016 年 7 月期間，同時進行野外採樣調查、實驗室研究與分析。研究主要探討高溫與低酸鹼度海水對於：(一) 龜山島淺海熱泉區烏龜怪方蟹之生理適應機制研究。著重於高溫與低酸鹼度海水如何影響烏龜怪方蟹的生理適應，以及熱泉水環境中烏龜怪方蟹的嗅覺與視覺對於覓食行為的影響。(二) 熱泉周圍浮游動物與橈足類的毒性反應與致死反應的研究。以及 (三) 延續過去龜山島浮游動物研究主題，持續於周圍海域進行浮游動物採樣，建立長期生態資料庫，配合日後全球暖化與海洋酸化議題，瞭解該海域受到的衝擊與連結程度。透過本研究系統化的探討，將增加我們對熱泉區烏龜怪方蟹與海域浮游動物之適應機制、生理反應與生態結構變遷的瞭解，研究結果將對瞭解熱泉區生物之生態學、生理學、行為、適應與個體生物學有更進一步的貢獻。 The study aims to investigate the areas near shallow water hydrothermal vents at Turtle Island, off the northeast coast of Taiwan (west Pacific) in the period from August 2014 to July 2016, with field sampling, laboratory research and analysis held at same time. The theme of the present study focuses on the effects of high temperature and low pH water of hydrothermal vents (HV) on: (A) Physiological adaptation mechanism of shallow HV crabs (Xenograpsus testudinatus), focusing on how the water cauterizes of high-temperature and low pH affect physiological adaptations of the crabs, as well as how olfaction and vision influences foraging behavior of crab under HV environmet. (B) The ecotoxicological tolerance of zooplankton and copepods, and HV water influence on mortality and physiological responses. Also, (C) we continue the past study of Turtle Island zooplankton research themes, collect zooplankton samples in the surrounding waters of Turtle Island, and establish long-term ecological database in order to find out the impact and connection of global issues on regions in Turtle Island with global warming and ocean acidification for future study. Through a systematic investigation of present study, we will be able to improve understanding the adaptation mechanism, physiological responses, and ecological structure change of crabs (X. testudinatus) and zooplankton in HV area of Turtle Island. The research results would contribute the knowledge and understanding in ecology, behavior, adaptation, physiology and idiobiology of the biota in HV area.
