英文摘要: The ecological impact of thermal discharge has become an important issue in the field of marine and environmental protection. We focused on the effects of thermal discharge on seawater temperature and biological communities based on data from before (2006) and after (2013–2014) the construction of a power plant. The thermal discharge induced stratification, which resulted in changes in the vertical hydrodynamic conditions. Stratification combined with elevated temperatures significantly affected the phytoplankton abundance and community structure. Elevated seawater temperatures decreased the chlorophyll-a concentrations by 34% and 63%, at the surface and bottom, respectively. The elevated seawater temperature at the bottom might not be high enough to significantly affect the macrobenthos, but significantly affected the phytoplankton and zooplankton communities. Because these communities serve as food for the macrobenthic community, their changes resulted in growth of the macrobenthos. Furthermore, this effect induced macrobenthic community succession, resulting in decreased species diversity and increased dominance. © 2018 Citation statistics:
