Abstract

Bottom sediment samples were collected at 74 stations in the South Yatsushiro Sea, off the west coast of central Kyushu Island, Japan using gravity corer. 62 core samples were used for bottom sediments analysis and for determination of mercury content. Among these samples, only 5 core samples were used for this study in an attempt to clarify the relationship between the vertical distributions of benthic foraminiferal assemblages (Bulimina denudata) and mercury contents in core sediments. The distribution pattern of sediment median diameter and of the maximum mercury content at some layers of each core show that the fine-grained sediment polluted by mercury were transported both northeastward and southward by weak longshore currents and spread toward north and west across the northern and souhtern part of the South Yatsushiro Sea. Bulimina denudata shows the highest frequency at every layer which has high mercury content ranging from 0.14 to 3.46 ppm, and is comparatively low at all unpolluted layers. The frequency of Bulimina denudata slightly decreased at the layers showing more than 3 ppm. All these signals suggest that Bulimina denudata does not prefer the bottom sediments showing high mercury contents but tolerates mercury pollution.

Abstract

Bottom sediments were collected from 74 stations in the South Yatsushiro Kai (Sea), Japan using gravity corer in March 1996. Aimed at clarifying the relation between living benthic foraminiferal assemblage and environmental conditions, the Q-mode cluster analysis was carried out based on the predominant species of living benthic foraminifera recognized at the topmost one centimeter of 73 core samples. The results of this study show a trend of a large number of living benthic foraminifera is found in central part of the sea, on the other hand, a small number is seen in the northern and southern part. The study area is characterized by 469 species of living benthic foraminifera belonging to 114 genera. In relation to the five divisions of the marine environment based on oceanographic data, mechanical analysis data and sedimentation rates, the foraminiferal assemblages in the South Yatsushiro Kai were grouped into five populations. Population I occupies the areas near the straits under the influence of strong tidal and bottom currents. Population II occupies the areas surrounding the straits (Gannoshiri Seto and Kurono Seto) influenced by water masses flowing through the straits. Population III occupies the areas of rather stagnant water masses in the northern and southern parts of the sea. Population IV occupies the areas located in the northeastern and southeastern parts of the sea, and influenced by river waters. Population V occupies the nearshore area located in the northeastern, and influenced by the water masses which flow southward from the North Yatsushiro Kai.

Abstract

The sedimentological aspects of the Mesjid River Estuary and its neighboring seas are revealed by various analytical approaches; i.e. mechanical grain size analysis, ignition loss method, metallic element analysis and sand grain composition analysis. The estuary area is characterized by fine sediments (very fine sand to very fine silt). Based on the relation between the character of bottom sediments and the environmental condition, the the Mesjid River Estuary and its Environs is divided into the following three areas: 1) The western part of the study area characterized by rather coarse-grained sediments and low mud content under the influence of longshore current and poorly sorted sediments supplied by the Mesjid River, 2) The southern part of the study area characterized by coarse-grained sediments under the influence of strong tidal currents, 3) The northern and eastern parts of  the study area characterized by fine-grained sediments and high mud content under conditions of sea water masses. The texture and organic matter content of the sediments play important role on the growth of the mangrove which thrive along the coast of the study area.
