| Abstract | Based on the previously developed deep-sea hybrid Raman insertion probe for cold seeps, the in situ detection of a cold seep vent and geochemistry analysis of fluids in chemosynthetic communities were conducted at the Formosa Ridge in the northern South China Sea. Three different methods were used to measure the components of the fluids erupting from the cold seep vent. The in situ Raman spectra of the cold seep fluids indicated the presence of gaseous CH4, C3H8, and H2S. The results indicate that the gases at this site are of biogenic origin; however, the presence of C3H8 suggests that thermogenic methane should not be excluded. The conclusion is also supported by the results of gas chromatography and stable carbon isotope analysis. More significantly, we found that the concentration of SO42- decreases with increasing depth, while the concentrations of CH4 and S-8 increase in fluids in chemosynthetic communities, but without H2S. This finding indicates that the methane is oxidized by sulfate and that elemental sulfur is formed. This process usually occurs in marine sediments as the anaerobic oxidation of methane. Overall, the findings in this work provide a new insight into the geochemical analysis of cold seep fluids and in situ evidence of the oxidation of methane in the chemosynthetic communities near cold seeps. |
