社会等级因素对虎斑乌贼生长、存活及相关酶活的影响   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
为探究虎斑乌贼养殖过程中,社会等级因素存在下优势大个体对劣势小个体的生长是否产生胁迫影响,本实验在室内小网筐(Φ=60 cm,高20 cm)控制条件下,采用单因子实验,研究了不同规格(大规格L:体质量为4~5 g,中规格M:体质量为2.5~3.5 g,小规格S:体质量为1~2 g)的虎斑乌贼单一规格养殖和混合规格养殖(LMS比1∶1∶1)条件下的存活率、特定生长率、耗氧率、排氨率和代谢酶(ATP酶、丙酮酸激酶和己糖激酶)的变化,培养时间40 d。结果显示,单一规格养殖和混合规格养殖条件下L乌贼特定生长率差异不明显,但混合规格养殖组M和S乌贼特定生长率明显低于单一规格养殖组M和S乌贼特定生长率,各组乌贼特定生长率排序:LMS-M(3.12±0.35)%/dM(5.21±0.24)%/d,LMS-S(1.39±0.28)%/dS(4.37±0.42)%/d;养殖10 d,单一规格养殖组和混合规格养殖组乌贼成活率差异不明显,从20 d开始,混合规格养殖组成活率明显低于单一规格养殖组,养殖40 d各组乌贼成活率排序:LMS(41%±5.35%)M(60%±4.58%)L(61%±6.43%)S(63%±5.57%);单一规格养殖和混合规格养殖条件下L乌贼耗氧率差异不明显,但混合规格养殖组M和S乌贼耗氧率明显低于单一规格养殖组M和S乌贼耗氧率,各组乌贼耗氧率排序:LMS-M[(0.48±0.03)mg/(g·h)]M[(0.69±0.02)mg/(g·h)],LMSS[(0.75±0.04)mg/(g·h)]S[(0.94±0.04)mg/(g·h)];单一规格养殖和混合规格养殖条件下L乌贼排氨率差异不明显,但混合规格养殖组M和S乌贼排氨率明显低于单一规格养殖组M和S乌贼排氨率,各组乌贼排氨率排序:LMS-M[(0.057±0.004)mg/(g·h)]M[(0.082±0.007)mg/(g·h)],LMS-S[(0.085±0.007)mg/(g·h)]S[(0.135±0.007)mg/(g·h)];单一规格养殖和混合规格养殖条件下L乌贼ATP酶、丙酮酸酶和己糖激酶活性差异不明显,但混合规格养殖组M和S乌贼3种酶活性明显低于单一规格养殖组M和S乌贼,各组乌贼ATP酶活性LMS-M[(1.25±0.16)U/mg prot]M[(2.74±0.26)U/mg prot],LMS-S[(0.77±0.11)U/mg prot]S[(1.94±0.09)U/mg prot];各组乌贼丙酮酸酶活性HET-M[(51.14±6.24)U/mg prot]M[(78.05±8.38)U/mg prot],LMS-S[(27.94±6.65)U/mg prot]S[(55.92±2.81)U/mg prot];各组乌贼己糖激酶活性LMS-M[(10.71±1.24)U/mg prot]M[(23.59±1.67)U/mg prot],LMSS[(5.91±0.83)U/mg prot]S[(13.82±1.66)U/mg prot]。研究表明,在混合规格养殖条件下L乌贼对M和S乌贼的正常生长产生显著影响,对养殖十分不利,因此在人工养殖虎斑乌贼的过程中,要定期地挑拣分级,保证规格的均一性,以减轻大个体乌贼对小个体乌贼的胁迫作用,进而提高乌贼养殖的生产效率。  相似文献

The environmental processes associated with variability in the catch rates of bigeye tuna in the Atlantic Ocean are largely unexplored. This study used generalized additive models (GAMs) fitted to Taiwanese longline fishery data from 1990 to 2009 and investigated the association between environmental variables and catch rates to identify the processes influencing bigeye tuna distribution in the Atlantic Ocean. The present findings reveal that the year (temporal factor), latitude and longitude (spatial factors), and major regular longline target species of albacore catches are significant for the standardization of bigeye tuna catch rates in the Atlantic Ocean. The standardized catch rates and distribution of bigeye tuna were found to be related to environmental and climatic variation. The model selection processes showed that the selected GAMs explained 70% of the cumulative deviance in the entire Atlantic Ocean. Regarding environmental factors, the depth of the 20 degree isotherm (D20) substantially contributed to the explained deviance; other important factors were sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height deviation (SSHD). The potential fishing grounds were observed with SSTs of 22–28°C, a D20 shallower than 150 m and negative SSHDs in the Atlantic Ocean. The higher predicted catch rates were increased in the positive northern tropical Atlantic and negative North Atlantic Oscillation events with a higher SST and shallow D20, suggesting that climatic oscillations affect the population abundance and distribution of bigeye tuna.  相似文献

Previously, we reported 10 PEGE types of 85 tilapia Streptococcus agalactiae(GBS), which shifted from Streptococcus iniae in China, by using PEGE method. Presently, larger and more representative tilapia GBS were isolated, for the ?rst time in China, to characterize their serotypes and genetic diversities more precisely than had done before. 168 GBS strains were distributed in ?ve provinces of China, in which Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan were the major ones, holding36.9%(62/168), 37.5%(63/168) and 19.6%(33/168), respectively. Serotypes, Ia, Ib and III, were observed in these strains and the most predominant one was Ia(95.2%), which mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan. Ia initially occurred in 2009, it shoot up to 32.1% in 2010,but decreased to 16.1% in 2011 before went up to 45.2% in 2012. Ib sporadically occurred during2007–2011, III onlyoccurred in 2012. 14 different PFGE types, including 4 new types(N, O,P and Q), were observed, in which B, D, F and G were the predominant types, holding 83.9%(141/168) of the total GBS strains. Ia corresponded to 11 PFGE types(A–H, N–P), in which type D predominated(51%). Ib represented 3 genotypes(I, J and Q) and III harbored only 2genotypes(N and F). Type N and Fsynchronously presented in Ia and III. In summary, the genetic diversity of tilapia GBS varied by serotypes and changed with geographical locations and years.Although Iastillpredominated, new rareserotypeIII alreadyoccurred in China.  相似文献

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the suitability of a method based on the presence of two restriction sites (for Hae III and Hindf I) in the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (mt ND5) gene to identify Scomber species. The evaluation was performed on 144 reference and market samples by sequencing of the entire 505-bp fragment of the mt ND5 gene and of a 464-bp fragment of the Kocher fragment of the cytochrome b gene (mt Cytb). Sequence analysis of any of the two fragments allows the identification of each of the four Scomber species, but S. japonicus and S. colias had the same restriction sites at the ND5 amplicon and would not have been differentiated by this analysis. Similarly, loss of the Hae III site in some S. scombrus individuals would have misidentified them as not being Scomber. All the market products were correctly labeled except one acquired in Spain labeled as originating in the Atlantic and containing S. japonicus.  相似文献

In this experiment, a feeding trial was performed to determine the effects of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) on growth performance, digestive enzyme activity and immune response of Japanese sea bass, Lateolabrax japonicus juveniles (initial weight 38.3 ± 0.5 g), and the fish were examined following feeding with six levels of FOS (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 g/kg) for 28 days. Significant enhancement of weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) was found in fish fed 1 g/kg FOS incorporated diets (p < .05), while the feed conversion ratio (FCR) in the 1, 2 g/kg FOS groups reduced significantly compared with the control (p < .05). Besides, the crude lipid in the 4, 6 g/kg FOS groups increased significantly compared with the control (p < .05). On the other hand, the erepsin and lipase activities significantly elevated in intestine of fish fed 2 g/kg FOS (p < .05) and the lysozyme activity in serum of fish fed 2 g/kg FOS were significantly higher than that in the control (p < .05). Moreover, the alkaline phosphatase activities in serum of fish fed 0.5, 1, 2 g/kg FOS were significantly higher than in control (p < .05). Regression analysis showed that the relationships between dietary FOS levels and either SGR, FCR, erepsin or lysozyme activities were best expressed by regression equations, and the optimal inclusion levels are 1.37, 1.80, 3.06, 3.11, 1.93 and 1.80 g/kg for SGR, FCR, erepsin, lipase, lysozyme and total superoxide dismutase activities, respectively. Overall, this study revealed that FOS incorporated diets could beneficial for L. japonicus culture in terms of increasing the growth, digestion and immune activities. Under the present experimental condition, the optimal supplementary level of FOS in the diet of L. japonicus is 1–3 g/kg.  相似文献

Growth hormone (GH) and reproduction: a review   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Interaction between growth and reproduction occurs in many vertebrates and is particularly obvious at certain stages of the life cycle in fish. Endocrine interactions between the gonadotropic axis and the somatotropic axis are described, the potential role of GH being emphasised. A comparative analysis of these phenomena in mammals, amphibians and fish, suggests a specific role of GH in the physiology of puberty, gametogenesis and fertility. It also shows the original contribution made by studies on the fish model in this field of investigations.  相似文献

Two gonadotropins (GtH; Qa and Qb) were purified by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography from the pituitaries of Indian walking catfish (Clarias batrachus). The presence of GtH during purification was assessed by in vitro oocyte maturation and in vivo steroidogenic activity, and their identities were determined by elution profiles, molecular weight, biological activities and yield. The molecular weights of Qa and Qb were 37 and 42 kDa, respectively, and composed of distinct subunits (Qa: 20 and 14 kDa and Qb: 26 and 18 kDa). Polyclonal antibodies raised against Qa immunostained Qa, Qb and pituitary GtH cells. A competitive Qa‐ELISA was developed whose sensitivity was 6.25 ng mL?1 (1.25 ng well?1) with intra‐ (3.5%) and inter‐ (12.4%) assay coefficients of variation. Displacement curves parallel to the standard were obtained with plasma and pituitary extracts of catfish, Qb and carp GtHII. The assay was validated by measuring the plasma Qa levels after LHRH treatment and in relation to ovarian growth in the female catfish during different reproductive phases. Based on the results, Qa and Qb corresponded to fish LH and FSH respectively. The findings will increase the knowledge of the mechanisms controlling fish reproduction and identification of sensitive phases in fish in captivity for hormonal manipulation.  相似文献

Tetrahymena is a protozoan parasite, which infects guppy, Poecilia reticulata Peters, and causes substantial economical losses in commercial farms worldwide. Studies of guppy infected by Tetrahymena require standardized infection protocols. The LD50 for Tetrahymena infection of guppies by intraperitoneal (IP) injection was calibrated, and the level obtained was 946 parasites per fish. Guppy infection with Tetrahymena by immersion, imitating the natural route of infection via the integument, was studied under normal or stress conditions. Exposure to cold and netting (CNI) and to cold only (CI) followed by immersion exposure to 10 000 Tetrahymena per mL resulted in 22.5% and 19.2% mortality, respectively, as compared to 14.2% and 10% in groups that were netted only (NI) or non‐stressed (I). Histopathology revealed that immersion infection resulted in a systemic infection. Lysozyme levels, measured 3 weeks after infection, were significantly higher in the CNI group (288 μg per mg protein) compared with CI‐, NI‐ and I‐treated groups (94.5, 64 and 62.3 μg mg?1, respectively). There was no evident parasite immobilization activity in body homogenates, suggesting no development of acquired immunity. Re‐infection by IP injection revealed no increase in protection in any of the treatment groups, mortality range of 56.3–75%, higher than in the non‐exposed control (40.6% mortality).  相似文献
