摘要： Sediment cores are commonly used for reconstructing historical events by determining the biogenic elements in sediment vertical profiles. The vertical flux of biogenic silica (BSi) can be enhanced by bivalve mollusks through biodeposition and can be subsequently recorded in the sediment core. However, whether BSi in sediment core can indicate the interactions between aquaculture farms and the ecosystem is unclear. In this study, sediment cores were collected from a typical off-bottom oyster farm in Sanggou Bay, China. Based on 210Pb chronology analysis of the sediment vertical profile, BSi content was determined to reflect the BSi burial flux during the farming history. The BSi biodeposition fluxes were estimated based on the biodeposition model, to identify the correspondence among BSi burial flux, BSi biodeposition flux, and annual oyster production during the historical development of the farm. The results show that the BSi density in the sediment increased obviously after 1980 when intensive oyster farming began, and reduced after 2000 when farming began to decline. Moreover, BSi burial flux had a corresponding relationship with oyster production and the simulated biodeposition rate, except for 1997-2001 when oyster production peaked. Our finding supported that the variation of BSi from biodeposition can be preserved and then recorded in the sediment, suggesting that BSi could be considered as an indicator to reconstruct the historical development of the oyster farm.
