In September 2023, a study was conducted in the Northeastern South China Sea to investigate the concentration distribution and mole composition of total dissolved amino acids (TDAA) in the seawater, as well as the sources and degradation status of dissolved organic matter (DOM). The results showed that the concentration of TDAA ranged from 0.37 to 2.59μmol/L, with an average value of (0.78±0.41) μmol/L. The horizontal distribution of TDAA exhibited a pattern of higher concentrations near the coast and lower concentrations in offshore, while the vertical distribution showed a gradual decrease from the surface to the bottom layer. Using D-alanine (D-Ala) as a biomarker, the contribution of bacterial organic matter to DOM (Bacterial-C%) was quantified. The Bacterial-C% in seawater ranged from 9.6% to 46.2%, with an average value of (23.3±8.1)%, demonstrating an overall trend of lower values near the coast and higher values in offshore areas. Additionally, the mean value of degradation index (DI) in surface seawater was (0.5 ± 1.0), while the average DI values for middle and bottom layers were (-1.2±0.6) and (-1.3±0.6), respectively. This indicates that the DOM in surface seawater was less degraded compared to those in the middle and bottom layers. This study elucidates the sources and degradation status of DOM in the Northeastern South China Sea, providing important scientific insights and data support for a deeper understanding of biogeochemical cycling processes in marginal seas.
