Abstract:To research the mechanisms of Fe transport and cycling in wetland-based aquaculture ponds. In this study, the abundance and speciation of reactive Fe in sediments of four wetland-based shrimp ponds in three estuaries of Fujian Province, southeast China, were investigated during the intensive culture period. Significant differences of crystalline Fe(III), non-sulfidic Fe(II), organic Fe-complex, and Fe sulfides were observed among the four shrimp ponds. Porewater Cl- and SO42- were key factors affecting the abundance and speciation of Fe among different shrimp ponds. Along with increasing salinity, the contents of Fe sulfides increased, whereas those of organic Fe-complexes and crystalline Fe(III) decreased. The contents of reactive Fe were in the following order:solid-phase Fe (III) > Fe sulfides > non-sulfidic Fe (II) > organic Fe complexes. The contents of FeS and FeS2 were higher in the subsurface sediments of the shrimp ponds than those in the surface sediments.However,the contents of organic Fe complexes and concentrations of porewater SO42- and NH4+ were higher in the surface sediments than those in the subsurface sediments. The precipitation of Fe sulfides could partially reduce the potential risk of nutrient contamination in sediments of wetland-based shrimp ponds.
