While offshore wind power has support from countries around the world, studies show that offshore wind farms (OWFs) may affect marine organisms. Environmental metabolomics is a high-throughput method that provides a snapshot of an organism's metabolic state. To elucidate the effects of OWFs on aquatic organisms, we studied, in situ, Crassostrea gigas and Mytilus edulis attached within and outside of OWFs and their reef areas. Our results show that epinephrine, sulphaniline, and inosine 5'-monophosphate were significantly increased and L-carnitine was significantly reduced in both Crassostrea and Mytilus species from the OWFs. This may be related to immune response, oxidative stress, energy metabolism and osmotic pressure regulation of aquatic organisms. Our study shows that active selection of biological monitoring methods for risk assessment is necessary and that metabolomics of attached shellfish is useful in elucidating the metabolic pathways of aquatic organisms in OWFs.
尽管世界各地的国家都支持海上风力发电，但研究表明，海上风电场（OWFs）可能会影响海洋生物。环境代谢组学是一种高通量的方法，可以提供生物体代谢状态的快照。为了阐明 OWFs 对水生生物的影响，我们在现场研究了附着在 OWFs 内外及其礁区的贻贝和牡蛎。我们的结果表明，OWFs 中的贻贝和牡蛎的肾上腺素、磺胺和肌苷 5'-单磷酸显著增加，而左旋肉碱显著减少。这可能与水生生物的免疫反应、氧化应激、能量代谢和渗透压调节有关。我们的研究表明，有必要对风险评估进行生物监测方法的主动选择，而附着贝类的代谢组学对于阐明 OWFs 中水生生物的代谢途径是有用的。
