The distribution and species of nutrients in the Daliaohe Estuary were studied in April, July and November, 2010. Concentrations of nutrients displayed obviously seasonal variability in the Daliaohe Estuary. Highest concentrations of PO4(3-) -P, DOP, DTP and TP were in April, and the lowest were in July. While the highest PP was in November, the lowest was in July. The contents of NO3(-) -N and NO2(-) -N reached the highest point in July, and the lowest was in April; however, the highest NH4(+) -N, DON and PN were in April and the lowest were in November. The main existing form of TN was NH4(+) -N in April, while in July and November NO3(-) -N was the dominant. The behavior of NO3(-) -N,DIN and TN was conservative in various seasons; the behavior of NO2(-) -N, NH4(+) -N and DON was conservative in April and November, while nonconservative in July, which indicated the exist of the extra source in the interior of the estuary. The SiO3(2-) of the Daliaohe Estuary was conservative, with the highest average concentration in November and the lowest in April.

With the exacerbating problem of antibiotic resistance, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) as emerging contaminants are found at elevated levels in inland aquatic environments, especially in regions of intensive agricultural and urban activity. However, little quantitative data exist on the migration and attenuation of ARGs in estuary ecosystem, which is central to predicting their fate after release into marine environment. Moreover, the relevance of multiple chemical contaminants and water quality constituents should be understood to amplify and attenuate antibiotic resistance levels.

The aim of this article was to explore the pollution level of heavy metals in the tidal reach and its adjacent sea estuary of Daliaohe area. The contents and spatial distribution of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ph and Zn in surface water, suspended solids and surface sediments were analyzed respectively. The integrated pollution index and geoaccumulation index were used to evaluate the contamination degree of heavy metals in surface water and surface sediments respectively.
