This study investigated the effects of fish meal replacement by Spirulina platensis meal on growth, survival, body biochemical composition, and reproductive performance of Trichopodus trichopterus until the first spawning for 16 weeks. The fish fed dietary algal meal at levels of 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 % against those received fish meal only as control. The results showed that indicators such as belly diameter, feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and viscerosomatic index were significantly different between treatments with 5 and 10 % algal replacements (P < 0.05). The growth factors including final weight, weight gain, total length, fork length, and body height of fish did not show significant differences (P > 0.05) between the treatments. Feed intake increased up to 10 % replacement level and then decreased, though the best FCR values (0.77–0.79) were obtained with 2.5 and 5 % substitutions. The body lipid content showed a statistically marked decrease (P < 0.05) as a result of the algal replacements, but the amounts of protein and moisture were not significantly (P > 0.05) different between treatments. All fish fed S. platensis meal had greater gonadosomatic indices (19.4–21.85 %) than that of the control in spite of insignificant differences (P > 0.05) in their ovary weights (2.07–2.21 g). Absolute fecundity ranged between 7300 and 12,700 eggs/female with the highest amount in fish fed with replaced S. platensis levels of 2.5–10 %. The second-order polynomial regression analysis between absolute fecundity and substitution levels of algal meal was y = ?0.5319x 2 + 106.87x + 7812.9 (R 2 = 0.9642), and the optimal substitution level was determined to be 8.13 % for maximum absolute fecundity. Hatching percentages in the control and 20 % replacement were much lower (P < 0.05) than those in the other treatments (78–86 %). Given the relative enhancement of growth parameters and significant improvement in reproductive performance of broodstock three-spot gourami, 8.1–9.6 % S. platensis meal instead of fish meal is recommended in the diets.  相似文献

We evaluated the effects of diets incorporating the red algae Pyropia yezoensis, prepared by several different extraction methods, on the growth of juvenile Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. We assessed growth performance, as well as the levels of amino acids, fatty acids, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and interleukins (ILs). Four experimental diets were developed based on different methods of processing P. yezoensis. A commercial feed, laver powder (P), high-pressure heat extraction of laver (HPHE) and acid hydrolysis extraction of laver were used as the experimental diets. Three experimental replicates were established for each diet (40 fish/group, body weight 123.7 ± 1.1 g), and the fish were fed for 6 weeks. We found no significant differences in weight gain, specific growth rate or feeding efficiency among the groups (P > 0.05); however, the fish fed HPHE had the greatest growth performance. Fish fed the laver extracts exhibited the highest protein efficiency ratio compared with the control and P groups. The experimental groups fed P. yezoensis extracts had significantly higher levels of IGF-I (P < 0.05) than those of the control group. High levels of IL-2 were found in the P and HPHE groups, IL-12 in the HPHE group, and IL-6 in all experimental groups. Therefore, these results suggest that a P. yezoensis extract improved the growth performance and immunity of Japanese flounder. In particular, the high-pressure heating process was a useful extraction method for preparing a P. yezoensis extract, which had beneficial effects as a dietary supplement in Japanese flounder.  相似文献

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the symptoms, variation, and correlation of hematological factors and some parameters of the innate immune response of the infected rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fish with Lactococcus garvieae bacteria. A total of 270 fish were divided into three groups including infected fish with a high and low concentration of L. garvieae and a control group without infection. The blood and tissue (brain, head, kidney, and spleen) samples were collected from each group (n?=?6 fish) at 0, 3, 14, and 21 days after treatment. The most observed symptoms during infection were lethargy, exophthalmia, and ascites. The mortality rates for the high and low dose-infected fish were defined as 60 and 25%, respectively. The infected groups had significantly (p?<?0.05) higher activity of serum lysozyme, myeloperoxidase, classical and alternative pathways of complement, serum bactericidal effects, and the specific antibody titer. Also, a significant (p?<?0.05) lower hematocrit and hemoglobin levels and higher white blood cell numbers were observed in the infected groups. A significant correlation was observed between the CRP levels and some of the hematological and immunological indices as bactericidal effects, classical complement pathways, lysozyme activity myeloperoxidase activity, white blood cell numbers, and hematocrit levels. The clinical symptoms, immune responses, and hematological indices variation among L. garvieae-infected fish are dependent on the duration and bacterial dose of the infection.  相似文献

In this study, Enterobacter cloacae bacterium was isolated from curd and its antibacterial potential against the pathogen Plesiomonas shigelloides was evaluated using the freshwater ornamental fish Kenyi cichlid (Maylandia lombardoi). Among the bacterial isolates, E. cloacae exhibited tolerance to acidic pH 2 and demonstrated the highest antibacterial activity against P. shigelloides in various in vitro assays. Dietary supplementation of E. cloacae with prebiotic supplement 2% mannan oligosaccharide improved the growth performance and reduced the toxic metabolites such as nitrite in culture tank water of Kenyi cichlid. In vivo application of E. cloacae with mannan oligosaccharide significantly elevated (p?<?0.05) white blood cell counts (88.47?±?2.15 103 mm?3) and respiratory burst activity (0.243?±?0.007) of Kenyi cichlid when challenged with P. shigelloides. Intestinal morphology of Kenyi cichlid fish treated with probiotic and prebiotic combinations showed improved intestinal architectures. The present findings confirm that the isolated bacterium E. cloacae is a potential probiotic and can be used effectively to prevent infection of P. shigelloides in freshwater ornamental fish culture.  相似文献

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Lactococcus lactis K-C2 on the growth performance, microbial diversity, and release of free amino acids in the intestinal tract and the edible parts of young amberjack, Seriola dumerili. Fish were fed a diet with or without strain K-C2 (2?×?1010 cfu/g feed) for 25 days. The results indicated that the growth performance of fish in the treated group was significantly higher than those in the control group (p?<?0.05). The amount of five amino acids (aspartate, sarcosine, taurine, alanine, and arginine) in the gut content and 13 of 21 amino acids in the edible parts of fish in the treated group were significantly higher (p?<?0.05) than those in the control group. Sphingomonas, Propionibacterium, and Mycobacterium were observed in gut microflora of fish in both the control and treated groups. Staphylococcus and Kocuria were detected in one sample from the control and treated groups; Acinetobacter and Acidobacteria were found in one sample from the control group. L. lactis was only found in one sample in the treated group. In conclusion, the dietary administration of probiotic L. lactis stimulated growth, reduced feed consumption, and improved the nutritional value of cultured amberjack.  相似文献

Aminergic neurotransmitters play important roles in the regulation of food intake. However, their effects on feeding in fish have been less explored and still unclear. In the present study, the effects of serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) on food intake were evaluated through intraventricular (ICV) administration in Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi) and the mRNA expression levels of neuropeptide Y (NPY), agouti gene-related protein (AgRP), and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) were detected. At 1 h post-injection, 5-HT significantly decreased food intake in a dose-dependent manner. The mRNA expression of NPY and AgRP were significantly decreased (p < 0.05), whereas the mRNA expression of POMC was significantly increased (p < 0.05), suggesting the involvement of NPY, AgRP, and POMC in inhibitory action of 5-HT on food intake in Chinese perch. DA significantly decreased (p < 0.05) food intake and AgRP mRNA expression at 1 h post-injection, indicating the inhibitory effect of DA on food intake might be mediated through AgRP. This might shed new light on the regulation of food intake in Chinese perch.  相似文献

In the current study, laboratory evaluations were made to assess the immunomodulatory effect of cypermethrin on fingerlings of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Results showed that 96-h LC50 of cypermethrin in common carp was estimated at 0.85 μg/L. Fish were exposed for 21 days to cypermethrin at three sub-lethal concentrations of 0.042, 0.085, and 0.17 μg/L that represented 5, 10, and 20%, respectively, of the 96-h LC50 of the pesticide for this fish species. Blood samples were taken after 7, 14, and 21 days of exposure. Immunological indices and resistance against bacterial infection were determined. Compared to the control group, the fish exposed to cypermethrin showed a significant increase in neutrophil ratio but exhibited a significant decrease in leukocyte number and lymphocyte ratio in treatments exposed to 0.17 and/or 0.085 μg/L after 21 days of exposure (p < 0.05). Serum protein level was significantly decreased in group exposed to 0.17 μg/L on day 14 and also in groups exposed to 0.085 and 0.17 μg/L on day 21 (p < 0.05). Immunoglobulin value was significantly reduced in groups exposed to 0.085 and 0.17 μg/L after 21 days of exposure (p < 0.05). Serum lysozyme activity and phagocytic activity were significantly decreased following exposure to 0.17 μg/L determined on days 14 and 21, post-exposure (p < 0.05). Mortality rate following the challenge with Aeromonas hydrophila significantly increased in fish exposed to 0.17 μg/L of cypermethrin. Overall, the present results indicate severe immunotoxicological effects of cypermethrin in common carp. Therefore, the use of cypermethrin in the proximities of common carp farms should be carefully considered.  相似文献

In this study, the molecular mobility of fish flesh was measured by low field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) relaxation. Sardine, tuna and mackerel were frozen at ?40 °C and stored for 1 day (24 h); and then these samples were thawed at room temperature (20 °C). The relaxation of water protons in fish flesh was measured for fresh (i.e., before freezing) and multi-cycle freeze–thaw samples (i.e., up to 12 times). Three domains from different pools of protons (i.e., low-mobile, medium-mobile and high-mobile) were identified from the relaxation curve. The T 2b (low-mobile), T 21 (medium-mobile) and T 22 (high-mobile) indicated the proton populations in the protein molecules, strongly bound water molecules, and weakly bound water molecules, respectively. In all cases, the relaxation time (T 2b: sardine r = 0.736 and p < 0.01, tuna r = 0.857 and p < 0.001, mackerel r = 0.904 and p < 0.001; and T 22: sardine r = 0.956 and p < 0.0001, tuna r = 0.927 and p < 0.0001, mackerel r = 0.890 and p < 0.0001) increased with the freeze–thaw cycles and it reached a nearly constant value after 6 freeze–thaw cycles. The increased relaxation time (i.e., higher mobility) up to 6 freeze–thaw cycles could be due to the increase in proton mobility. However, relaxation time (T 21: sardine r = ?0.510 and p > 0.05, tuna r = 0.162 and p > 0.5, mackerel r = 0.513 and p > 0.01) showed insignificant change with the increase of freeze–thaw cycles, which indicated minimal change in the medium-mobile protons. The results in this study revealed that the changes in proton mobility in the fish flesh during freeze–thaw cycles could be identified using T 2b and T 22 relaxation of LF-NMR.  相似文献

The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of dietary taurine (Tau) on performance, digestive enzymes, antioxidant activity, and resistance of common carp, Cyprinus carpio L., fry to salinity stress. Fish (0.97?±?0.033 g) were fed on different taurine levels of 0.0 (control), 5, 10, 15, or 20 g/kg diet up to satiation twice daily for 8 weeks. At the end of the feeding trial, fish were stressed by exposure to 10 ppt salinity for 3 days during which fish mortality was observed. Fish performance was significantly (P?<?0.05) improved by dietary taurine up to 15 g Tau/kg diet after which fish growth and feed intake were almost the same. Also, taurine supplementation significantly (P?<?0.05) elevated activities of intestinal amylase, lipase, and protease resulting in an improving in feed intake giving better performance. Furthermore, Tau-stimulated antioxidant activity of common carp was observed in a dose-related manner, where activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were significantly (P?<?0.05) higher, but malondialdehyde (MDA) value was significantly (P?<?0.05) lower in Tau-fed fish groups than those fed the control diet. In salinity stress experiment, highest survival rate was observed at fish fed Tau-supplemented diets without significant (P?>?0.05) differences over fish fed the control diet. It appears that taurine could be used as a feed supplement to confer better growth and health of common carp fry with optimal level of 15 g/kg diet.  相似文献

Lipoic acid (LA) is an antioxidant that also favors glucose uptake in mammals. Until now, there are no studies evaluating the potential effect of this molecule on glycemic control in fish. It was evaluated LA effects on glucose uptake in common carp Cyprinus carpio fed with carbohydrate diets from two carbohydrate sources: glucose (GLU) and starch (STA), and supplemented or not with LA, being the diets: +GLU/?LA (GLU); +GLU/+LA (GLU + LA); +STA/?LA (STA); and +STA/+LA (STA + LA). Carp juveniles (6.5 ± 0.1 g) were fed with each diet ad libitum 4 times a day, during 68 days. Muscle glycogen concentration was higher (p < 0.05) in GLU and GLU + LA than in STA and STA + LA groups. On fish fed with starch, muscle cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were higher (p < 0.05) in fish fed diets supplemented with LA. Muscle protein levels were higher in fish fed with LA, independent of the diet carbohydrate source. Lipid peroxidation was significantly reduced (p < 0.05) in fish muscle on fish fed the STA + LA diets when compared with the STA diet. Our findings indicate that LA modulates lipid, proteins and carbohydrate metabolism together with the well-known antioxidant effect. Also, LA showed to enhance starch utilization taking into account muscle cholesterol and triglyceride levels.  相似文献

Different water flows for solids removal in the Litopenaeus vannamei BFT system were evaluated. One control (no solids removal) and two treatments using different water flows, high (3945 L h?1—HF) and low (1750 L h?1—LF), were used with no water replenishment after each process, and the total dry weight of the solids was measured. L. vannamei (0.18 ± 0.06 g; 350 individuals m?2) were stocked in 35-m?3 tanks. For 17 weeks, the physical and chemical parameters were maintained within the recommended. To keep the total suspended solids concentrations at approximately 500–600 mg L?1, clarifying was performed. The average water volume flowed by clarifiers was significantly different (p < 0.05) between HF (205 ± 34 m3) and LF (114 ± 24 m3). There was a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the final tank volume in HF (28.09 ± 0.92 m3) and LF (28.62 ± 1.38 m3) due to the clarifying. Before clarifying (initial sample) and at the end of experiment (final sample) were not significantly different (p > 0.05) for crude protein, moisture or ash. The crude lipid of the LF in the final period was significantly lower (p < 0.05) compared to others in both periods. The survival, productivity and food conversion ratio were significantly better (p < 0.05) in the HF and LF treatments compared to those of the control. The best shrimp performance was obtained with solids removal. The lower flow in the clarifier facilitated particle settling, allowing adjustment of the flow.  相似文献

Growth hormone (GH) transgenic (T) coho salmon consistently show remarkably enhanced growth associated with increased appetite and food consumption compared to non-transgenic wild-type (NT) coho salmon. To improve understanding of the mechanism by which GH overexpression mediates food intake and digestion in T fish, feed intake and gastric evacuation rate (over 7 days) were measured in size-matched T and NT coho salmon. T fish displayed greatly enhanced feed intake levels (~ 2.5-fold), and more than 3-fold increase in gastric evacuation rates relative to NT coho salmon. Despite the differences in feed intake, no differences were noted in the time taken from first ingestion of food to stomach evacuation between genotypes. These results indicate that enhanced feed intake is coupled with an overall increased processing rate to enhance energy intake by T fish. To further investigate the molecular basis of these responses, we examined the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of several genes in appetite- and gastric-regulation pathways (Agrp1, Bbs, Cart, Cck, Glp, Ghrelin, Grp, Leptin, Mc4r, Npy, and Pomc) by qPCR analyses in the brain (hypothalamus, preoptic area) and pituitary, and in peripheral tissues associated with digestion (liver, stomach, intestine, and adipose tissue). Significant increases in mRNA levels were found for Agrp1 in the preoptic area (POA) of the brain, and Grp and Pomc in pituitary for T coho salmon relative to NT. Mch and Npy showed significantly lower mRNA levels than NT fish in all brain tissues examined across all time-points after feeding. Mc4r and Cart for T showed significantly lower mRNA levels than NT in the POA and hypothalamus, respectively. In the case of peripheral tissues, T fish had lower mRNA levels of Glp and Leptin than NT fish in the intestine and adipose tissue, respectively. Grp, Cck, Bbs, Glp, and Leptin in stomach, adipose tissue, and/or intestine showed significant differences across the time-points after feeding, but Ghrelin showed no significant difference between T and NT fish in all tested tissues.  相似文献

A feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of exogenous non-starch polysaccharide (NSP)-degrading enzymes in diets containing Gracilaria lemaneiformis (GL) on growth performance and digestive enzyme activities of white-spotted snapper Lutjanus stellatus Akazaki (initial mass 8.0 ± 0.1 g). A basal diet (D0) containing a mixed protein source (fish meal, soybean meal and GL meal) was used as the control. Two diets supplemented with 0.5 g (D1) and 1 g (D2) exogenous NSP-degrading enzymes per kilogram of diet were formulated. Each diet was assigned to triplicate groups of fish in a total of nine floating sea cages (270 fish, 30 fish per cage). After a 60-day feeding trail, significantly higher weight gain, specific growth ratio and feed efficiency ratio were observed in fish fed D2 diet compared to those of control (P < 0.05). Body lipid, moisture and ash contents were not significantly affected by NSP-degrading enzyme supplementation, but significantly higher protein content was noticed in fish fed D2 diet compared to that of control (P < 0.05). The amylase activity in the stomach and intestine was significantly higher in fish fed D2 diet (P < 0.05), but no significant differences were observed in pepsin and lipase activities in the stomach or trypsin and lipase activities in the intestine between all treatments. The results suggested that addition of 1 g kg?1 NSP-degrading enzymes in diet could efficiently improve seaweed feed utilization and growth performance of white-spotted snapper fish.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of stocking density on growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, and muscle texture properties of genetically improved farmed tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, GIFT). Juvenile GIFT with an average initial weight of 12.54?±?0.45 g (mean?±?SD) were randomly stocked in 16 tanks (80 L) in a recirculation aquaculture system at four densities of 10 (D1), 20 (D2), 30 (D3), and 40 (D4) fish per tank for 56 days, with quadruplicate for each density. There were no significant differences in water temperature among the four treatments (P?>?0.05). D4 had the significantly lowest dissolved oxygen content (5.52 vs 5.69–6.09 mg L?1) (P?>?0.05) and pH (6.63 vs 6.87–7.20) (P?<?0.05). NO2-N and NH4-N concentrations significantly increased with increasing stocking density (P?<?0.05). Weight gain (WG) and specific growth rates (SGR) decreased with increasing stocking density. The lowest WG (617.20 vs 660.45–747.06%), SGR (3.52 vs 3.62–3.81% day?1), and highest feed conversion ratio (1.68 vs 1.53–1.58) were observed in D4. Fish at D4 had significantly lower condition factor (3.11 vs 3.29–3.37%) and survival rate (91.25 vs 97.50%) than those from D1 and D2 (P?<?0.05). With increasing stocking density, serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, and total protein concentrations decreased (P <?0.05) and aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activities increased (P <?0.05). D4 fish had higher moisture content (78.80 vs 76.97%) and lower crude protein content (18.14 vs 19.39%) in muscle than D1 fish (P?<?0.05). Compared to D1 and D2, D3 and D4 had lower muscle hardness (1271.54–1294.07 vs 1465.12–1485.65 g), springiness (0.62–0.65 vs 0.70–0.72), gumminess (857.33–885.32 vs 1058.82–1079.28 g), and chewiness (533.04–577.09 vs 757.53–775.69 g) (P <?0.05). High stocking density resulted in growth inhibition, declines in flesh quality, and disturbance to several serum biochemical parameters.  相似文献

The effects of three artificial diets (S1, S2 and S3) on survival, growth and biochemical composition of one-year-old pearl oyster Pinctada martensii were investigated. Six experimental groups (EG1, EG2, EG3, EG4, EG5 and EG6) and one control group (CG) were set up. EG1, EG2 and EG3 were solely fed on S1, S2 and S3, respectively. EG4, EG5 and EG6 were fed on mixed diets, as follows: S1 and Platymonas subcordiformis; S2 and P. subcordiformis; and S3 and P. subcordiformis, respectively. CG was fed on only P. subcordiformis. All groups were continuously fed for 60 days. Survival, growth and biochemical composition of soft tissues were compared across the groups. Results showed that survival rate, the absolute growth rate (AGR) and relative growth rate (RGR) of shell length did not differ significantly across the groups (p > 0.05). The AGR and RGR of total weight differed significantly among the groups (p < 0.05). AGR and RGR of shell length and total weight were the highest in EG5 and the lowest in EG1. Gross fat content showed insignificant differences among the groups (p > 0.05). However, gross protein content and ash content showed significant differences across the groups (p < 0.05). The gross protein of the groups solely fed on artificial diets was lower than those of the groups fed on mixtures of artificial diets and microalgae or single microalgae. The contents of other amino acids, total amino acids (TAAs) and essential amino acids (EAAs) showed significant differences across the groups (p < 0.05). TAA, EAA and delicious amino acids of the groups fed solely on artificial diets were lower than those of the groups fed on mixtures of artificial diets and microalgae or single microalgae. Results indicated that the artificial diet (S2) can serve as substitutes of microalgal diets for P. martensii.  相似文献

The effects of salinity on survival, growth, special activity of digestive enzymes, nonspecific immune response, and muscle fatty acid composition were evaluated in the American shad (Alosa sapidissima). Juveniles of 35 days after hatching were reared at 0 (control), 7, 14, 21, and 28 ppt for 60 days. At the end of the experiment, juvenile American shad presented higher survival and specific growth rate (SGR) in salinity group (7, 14, and 21 ppt) than control group (P < 0.05). The special activity of trypsin and chymotrypsin was highest in fish reared at 21 ppt, while the highest lipase special activity was obtained in control group (P < 0.05). The special activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lysozyme (LZM), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) showed significant increases in salinity group (14 and 21 ppt) compared to control group (P < 0.05). Lower muscle ash contents were detected in salinity group (14, 21, and 28 ppt) than control group (P < 0.05), while the contents of crude lipid and crude protein were significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05). The level of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) exhibited a decreasing trend, while an increased level of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) was detected with the increase of salinity. Among the PUFA, the content of n-3 fatty acids in muscle tissue was found to be increasing with the increasing salinity, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Results indicate that appropriate increase in salinity was reasonable and beneficial for juvenile American shad culture after a comprehensive consideration, especially salinity range from 14 to 21 ppt.  相似文献

The effect of natural feed, artificial feed, and artificial feed with hormone 17 alpha-methyltestosterone on gill and liver integrity, parasite prevalence and performance parameters during the masculinization phase of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus were evaluated. The experiment consisted of the three feeding strategies in triplicate. Water parameters, histopathological, parasitological and performance analyses were performed on day 7, 14, 28 and 60. Both artificial feeds (with and without hormone) were harmful to the hepatic and branchial integrity. The most significant change in liver was lipid degeneration, while in gills a significantly higher lamellar edema was observed when compared to fish that received the natural feed. Fish fed with the artificial diet (with and without hormone) showed a high prevalence (p < 0.05) of trichodinids and Cryptobia, while fish that received natural feed showed no parasites after 28 days of study. Fries that received diet with hormone experienced damage to their health, which decreased the survival of this group. The anabolic effect of this molecule, however, improved significantly (p < 0.05) their productive performance. Despite the absence of deleterious effects to fish health, the use of natural feed has a high risk of introducing predators. Introduction of odonate larvae drastically affected the survival of this group at the end of the study. All feeding strategies investigated have positive and negative effects that were discussed in the present study.  相似文献

Diel cyclic hypoxia occurs with varying frequency and duration in freshwater habitats, yet little is known about its effects on reproduction of freshwater fishes. The present study shows that long-term exposure of goldfish (Carassius auratus) to cyclic hypoxia (0.8 ± 0.2 mg/l dissolved oxygen) for 9 h or more, per day, altered plasma lipid and sex steroid profiles, which in turn directly or indirectly suppressed ovarian growth and viable spermatozoa production. Hypoxia decreased total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein (HDL p < 0.05) and elevated triglycerides (TG; p < 0.05) in both sexes. Plasma steroid concentrations particularly of 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17-HP), estradiol (E2), testosterone (T) in females, and T and 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) in males were attenuated under diel hypoxic conditions. Intriguingly, both diel and continuous hypoxia elevated plasma E2 and vitellogenin levels in males. However, neither lipid nor steroid profiles recorded any variation in a dose-dependent manner in response to diel hypoxia. The reduced GSI, decreased number of tertiary oocytes, and motile spermatozoa in hypoxic fish clearly indicate suppression of gametogenesis. Thereby, prolonged diel cyclic hypoxia may affect valuable fishery resources and fish population structure by impairing reproductive performances and inducing estrogenic effects in males.  相似文献
