Cryopreservation of fish embryos requires an optimal distribution of cryoprotectants inside all embryo compartments. Traditional techniques for the incorporation of cryoprotectants (CPAs) have failed to protect all fish compartments, especially the yolk sac which has been considered the principal point of embryo chilling sensitivity. In the present study, microinjection was used to incorporate cryoprotectants into the yolk sac of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) embryos at tail bud stage. The effect of microinjection viability, cryoprotectant toxicity and chilling resistance was evaluated through the hatching rate. Larval survival at first feeding was also determined in microinjection viability and cryoprotectant toxicity studies. Permeabilized seabream embryos were microinjected with 2.35 nl dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO), methanol (MeOH), ethylene glycol (EG) (5 M, 10 M and pure) or sucrose (10% and 15%). In a second experiment, 29.5 nl and 154.0 nl of the highest concentration of each cryoprotectant were used in the same embryo stage. To test the effect of microinjected cryoprotectants on embryo chilling resistance, 29.5 nl of pure Me2SO or 15% sucrose was microinjected into the yolk sac of tail bud stage embryos and then at a later stage, (tail-bud-free), were exposed to 3 M Me2SO solution at − 10 °C for 30 min. Our results showed that microinjection technique did not affect the viability of tail bud stage embryos as is shown by the high hatching and survival rates. Hatching and larval survival rate at first feeding were not affected with any of the CPAs tested, showing percentages higher than 75% and 90%, respectively, when embryos were microinjected with a smaller quantity of cryoprotectant. Sucrose was the cryoprotectant better tolerated at higher concentration and volume. Cryoprotectant concentration inside the yolk higher than 1.18 M for Me2SO, 1.5 M for EG and 2 M for methanol decreased the hatching rate. Microinjection allowed the delivery of high concentrations of CPAs into the yolk sac without deleterious effects on the embryo, but did not provide a significant level of protection for the whole embryo against chilling injury.  相似文献

Vitrification could provide a promising tool for the cryopreservation of fish embryos. In order to achieve successful cryopreservation, several parameters should be taken into account in the design of a vitrification protocol. In the present study some relevant factors were investigated (permeable and non-permeable cryoprotectant toxicity, toxicity of vitrificant solutions, adequate container for embryo loading and temperature of thawing) using two gilthead seabream embryonic development stages (tail bud and tail-bud-free). Permeabilized embryos were incubated in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), methanol (MeOH), ethylene glycol (EG) and 1,2-propanediol (PROH) in concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 6 M for 10 and 30 min and in 5%, 10% and 15% polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), 10%, 15% and 20% sucrose or 0.1%, 1% and 2% X1000® for 2 min. After treatment, embryos were washed and incubated in seawater until hatched. The toxicity of permeable cryoprotectants increased with concentration and exposure time. EG was best tolerated by the embryos. Exposure to non-permeable cryoprotectants did not affect the hatching rate except at F stage. Six vitrificant solutions (DMSO—V1, V2 and V3 and EG—V1, V2 and V3) were tested using a stepwise incorporation protocol. The DMSO-based solutions contained 5 M DMSO + 2 M MeOH + 1 M EG plus 5% PVP, 10% sucrose or 2% X1000® and the EG-based solutions contained 5 M EG + 2 M MeOH + 1 M DMSO plus 5% PVP or 10% sucrose. Before loading the embryos into 0.5 ml straws or 1 ml macrotubes, toxicity tests were effected with these solutions. Our results demonstrated that DMSO-based solutions were better tolerated by seabream embryos than EG-based solutions. After thawing (water bath, 0 or 25 °C), embryos were evaluated by stereoscopic microscopy and the percentage of embryos with intact morphology was registered. The highest percentage of embryos with intact morphology (28%) was observed in samples frozen in macrotubes and thawed at 25 °C. Several malformations associated with ice crystal formation inside the embryos were detected. None of these embryos achieved hatching. Our results suggest that the absence of a proper incorporation of cryoprotectants prior to vitrification is the main problem that must be overcome. This procedure should be optimized in order to avoid ice crystal formation inside embryo compartments.  相似文献

Embryo dechorionization is a common practice used in certain fish species for different purposes. It facilitates techniques like microinjection, transfection or electroporation in embryos. Dechorionization is easily achieved in some fish species but is a more complex problem in species that have very thick chorions. In this study, we address this problem in turbot embryos, where chorion removal is practically unachievable post-chorion hardening. For this purpose, different solutions that lacked ions required for the hardening of this envelope or contained inhibitors of enzymes involved in the process were used during egg fertilization. The toxicity of the solutions was assessed, and their effect on embryo cleavage and on chorion structure was studied by light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results demonstrated that embryos are very sensitive to these solutions and that first cellular cleavages are affected with most of them. This study also provides the first report on turbot chorion structure, analyzed by SEM. The chorion is a very thick envelope in this species, and its total removal was not observed with the employed treatments. Nevertheless, partial dechorionization was achieved when embryos were fertilized in some of the tested solutions and later treated with pronase (3 mg/ml).  相似文献

A major challenge to the widespread production of transgenic, knockout and knockdown zebrafish has been the absence of a simple and effective procedure for introducing macromolecules into the fertilized egg. None of the existing techniques for gene transfer in fish embryos has proven to be a major advance over cytoplasm microinjection, which is a technically demanding and time‐consuming procedure. This report addresses this need, considering that the development of protocols for lipid‐based transfection with fish embryos would considerably simplify gene transfer in this complex biological model. In this study, lipid‐based transfection with two different reporter vectors was carried out in zebrafish embryos at different developmental stages. The parameters tested included different plasmid/transfection reagent ratios as well as the influence of an added transfection enhancer reagent. When embryos were transfected in the blastula stage with a pEGFP‐N1 vector, more than 35% successfully incorporated the plasmid and expressed the fluorescent protein 24 h after transfection. The transfection enhancer did not show any significant effect in our experiments. This work presents an approach to implement this technique as a faster, cheaper and more practical alternative than microinjection.  相似文献

Four experimental diets were fed to turbot to examine the effect of fish hydrolysate and ultra‐filtered fish hydrolysate on growth performance, feed utilization and non‐specific immune response. Fish hydrolysate was produced by enzymatic treatment and size fractionated using ultra‐filtration (UF). The permeate (molecular weight <1000 Da) after UF and the non‐ultra‐filtered fish hydrolysate (NUF) were tested as feed ingredients. Diets UF1, UF2 contained 3.7%, 1.2% ultra‐filtered fish hydrolysate to replace fish meal protein respectively. The diets UF1, NUF were identical in composition except that the molecular weight of fish hydrolysate in the diet. Fish meal was used in the control diet. All diets were made equal in protein, lipid and energy. Each experimental diet was fed to juvenile turbot (27.87 ± 0.04 g) in triplicate for 8 weeks. Results of this study indicate that the best overall growth and feed utilization of turbot juveniles were obtained with a diet containing higher dose of the small molecular weight compounds in fish hydrolysate. Acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, lysozyme and superoxide dismutase activity in serum were not affected by diet. Total antioxidant capacity was improved with increasing level of low molecule weight fish hydrolysate (UF1).  相似文献

Two gene constructs, pMTLuc and pRSVLuc, were microinjected into the muscle tissue of developing Macrobrachium lanchesteri (De Man) embryos. Both constructs expressed efficiently and the luciferase activities were still detectable 10 days after injection. PCR results demonstrated that pMTLuc persisted as long as and even beyond 10 days in some embryos. Embryos in their later developmental stages expressed higher levels of pRSVLuc than those in their early stage. Expression of pRSVLuc was occasionally detected when the plasmid was injected into the presumptive eyestalk area of the embryo.  相似文献

The intention of the study was to investigate the effect of ultrafiltered fish protein hydrolysate (UF) level on growth, feed utilization, apparent digestibility coefficients and proximal intestine peptide transporter 1 (PepT1) mRNA level for juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.). Experimental diets (UF‐0, UF‐5, UF‐10, UF‐15 and UF‐20) were prepared containing about 68% plant protein, and fish meal protein was, respectively, replaced by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% UF of dietary protein. Diet PP contained about 78% plant protein, and diet CAA contained about 10% crystalline amino acid mixture. All diets were fed to seven triplicate groups of turbot (initial weight 16.05 ± 0.03 g) for 68 days. Fish fed diet UF‐10 had an increasing tendency in growth compared with diets contained UF, while dietary UF level was not significantly correlated with specific growth rate and feed intake. Feed efficiency, protein efficiency ratio and protein productive value significantly correlated with dietary UF level, and fish fed diets contained low‐level UF had higher digestibility than that diets UF‐0, PP and CAA. There was a decreasing tendency in PepT1 expression level with dietary UF level. The results indicated that low‐level UF showed a positive effect on growth and feed utilization in juvenile turbot.  相似文献

Turbot aquaculture is a very important industry in China. However, it is hampered because of viral reddish body syndrome (VRBS) and high mortality caused by piscine turbot reddish body iridovirus (TRBIV). TRBIV virus is an icosahedron‐like and cytoplasmic DNA virus, belonging to Iridoviridae, Megalocytivirus. In previous studies, we have identified two antigen mimotopes using bioinformatics and constructed prokaryotic expression vectors. In this study, a fragment of major capsid protein (MCP) gene with the two antigenic epitopes was cloned into eukaryotic expression vector pVAX1, to generate a recombinant plasmid pVAX1‐TRBIV‐MCP. The plasmid DNA was transferred into turbot cell line TK using liposome, and transient expression was detected using RT‐PCR. After injection into turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), the expression of the antigen gene was analysed using RT‐PCR and was shown to express in all tested tissues in vaccinated fish 2 and 7 days post‐vaccination. The cumulative mortalities in the vaccinated and unvaccinated control fish were 30% and 88% respectively. Immune responses and upregulation of the expression of chemokine receptor, tumour necrosis factor, interferon and interferon‐induced antiviral molecules were observed in the vaccinated fish 60 h post‐vaccination. These results demonstrate that the vaccinated turbots had higher survival rate and produced specific serum antibodies following the TRBIV challenge. More studies are needed to develop and apply the promising DNA vaccine for virus control in turbot.  相似文献

Long‐term cryopreservation of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, spermatophores using glycerol (Gly) and ethylene glycol (EG) as cryoprotective agents (CPAs) was studied. The tolerance of sperm to cryopreservation was evaluated on the basis of sperm survival and fertilizing ability. The survival of the sperm was determined by trypan blue staining, while the fertilizing ability was assessed from artificial insemination of the cryopreserved spermatophores. The rates of embryo survival on day 5 after spawning and of spermatophores capable of producing embryos survived to hatching were determined. Storage of spermatophores at ?20°C without CPA for a short period of up of 1–5 days decreased the sperm survival significantly and did not preserve fertilizing ability. Preservation at ?20°C in the presence of 10% or 20% Gly or of 10% or 20% EG offered a simple and efficient short‐term storage up to 10 days. For a long‐term storage, cryopreservation in the presence of 20% EG at ?196°C was more efficient than at ?20°C. High sperm survival rates and high fertilizing ability were recorded from those cryopreserved at ?196°C for up to 150 days. High sperm survival rates with moderate levels of fertilizing ability were obtained from those cryopreserved at ?20°C for not more than 30 days. The results indicate that preservation at ?196°C with 20% EG is a suitable procedure for long‐term storage of the giant freshwater prawn spermatophores.  相似文献

The plasmid vector, pBRd-AK1-BGH4.6.10 (pBGH), containing the bovine growth hormone sequence driven by an avian retroviral long terminal repeat (LTR) was microinjected at 0.1, 0.5, 1 or 5 ng of pDNA/20 nl of physiological saline into tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus × O. niloticus embryos. In 24 replicates, normally 60 zygotes were microinjected with either the entire linear 8.5 kb pBGH/ClaI vector or a 3.8 kb pBGH/SalI restriction fragment. Overall mean survival to fry hatching was 7.6% in plasmid DNA-microinjected, 15.6% in sham-microinjected and 48.1% in uninjected control embryos. There were no significant ( P > 0.05) differences in survival to hatching between those embryos microinjected with the 3.8 or the 8.5 kb restriction fragment, nor was there a trend toward decreasing survival as the plasmid DNA concentration increased from 0.1 to 5 ng. The significant ( P < 0.05) increase in survival among uninjected control embryos to hatching indicates that microinjection trauma was the major cause of mortality. Large quantities of plasmid DNA were recovered from pooled-embryo samples. Multiple bands (positive signals) were detected usually in the high molecular weight (HMW) genomic DNA regions. Position shifting of these HMW bands upon digesting with various restriction endonucleases provided evidence for plasmid DNA integration into tilapia embryo chromosomal DNA. Otherwise, these positive signah may have been end-twnd ligations of increasingly longer plasmid DNA constructs. Putative transgenic O. mossmbicus × O. niloticus were found among eight of 27 surviving adults.  相似文献

Dietary protein requirement for young turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
This study was conducted to determine the optimum dietary protein level for young (an initial weight of 89 g) turbot, Scophthalmus maximus L. Duplicate groups of the fish were fed the five isoenergetic diets containing the various protein levels ranging from 290 to 570 g kg?1 diet for 45 days. Survival was not affected by dietary protein level. Weight gain and feed efficiency were improved with dietary protein level up to 490 g kg?1 diet. Dietary protein requirement of young turbot using the broken‐line model was estimated to be 494 g kg?1 diet based on weight gain response. Protein efficiency ratio was not influenced by dietary protein level. The highest protein retention was obtained from the fish fed the 490 g protein kg?1 diet. Proximate composition of the fish was not significantly affected by dietary protein level. In considering these results, it was concluded that the 494 g protein kg?1 diet with 100 g lipid kg?1 diet (15 MJ kg?1 diet) provided optimal growth of young turbot under these experimental conditions.  相似文献

The effect of short‐chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS) incorporation on growth, feed utilization, body composition, plasmatic metabolites and selected liver enzyme activities of turbot juveniles reared at winter (15 °C) and summer (20 °C) temperatures was studied. Four comparable diets were formulated to contain circa 50 : 50 fish meal and plant ingredients as protein sources. Experimental diets included increasing levels of scFOS (0, 5, 10 and 20 g kg?1). Final weight was higher at 20 °C, but thermal growth unit, feed efficiency, nitrogen and energy retention were better at 15 °C. scFOS supplementation did not affect fish growth performance. Fish reared at 15 °C had higher liver glycogen, visceral and hepatosomatic indices. Liver lipids, plasma triglycerides, total lipids, cholesterol HDL and LDL were higher in turbot reared at 20 °C. Malic enzyme, fatty acid synthetase, alanine aminotransferase and glutamate dehydrogenase activities were higher in fish reared at 15 °C. Malic enzyme was lower in turbot fed with 20 g kg?1 scFOS compared to control diet; however, fatty acid synthetase presented an increasing trend as dietary scFOS increased up to 10 g kg?1. Glutamate dehydrogenase activity was higher in fish fed the control diet. Results seem to indicate no benefits of scFOS incorporation to diets on growth performance of turbot.  相似文献

Diets incorporating different levels of corn gluten meal replacement using biofuel algae or Spirulina protein at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% were evaluated for larval/juvenile stage of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Fish averaging 0.02 g were divided into groups of 50. There were three replicates per every dietary treatment that were fed one of six diets for 11 weeks. Corn gluten protein was replaced with algae on the protein basis. All diets were supplemented with 1.5% lysine and 0.5% methionine. The experimental diets were formulated to contain 37 ± 2.8% protein and 14 ± 4.3% lipid in the form of fish oil and soybean lecithin (phospholipids source). The results indicated that algae positively affected feed consumption and fish growth up to the 50% replacement and then performance was depressed. Significant differences in concentration of individual minerals (Al, Fe, Zn and Cu) in the whole fish body were found. Mineral composition of algae might have affected growth when diets which contained more than 75% of plant protein were replaced with microalgae. These findings suggest that up to 50% of dietary corn gluten meal protein can be replaced with microalgae which significantly enhance fish growth.  相似文献
