In order to distinguish the two eel species Anguilla japonica and A. anguilla irrespective of unprocessed and processed samples, a quick, convenient method using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with
a species-specific primer was established. The comparison of partial sequences of the mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA gene
between A. japonica and A. anguilla facilitated designing of a primer pair common to both A. japonica and A. anguilla and a primer specific to A. japonica. PCR was carried out with the three primers for total 110 specimens of A. japonica and A. anguilla. PCR products with the species-specific primer showed two bands for A. japonica and one band for A. anguilla in an agarose gel electrophoresis. This analytical procedure required only a short period and is more convenient than PCR-restriction
fragment length polymorphism, one of the standard methods employed for fish species identification. 相似文献

In order to determine the salinity effect on otolith strontium (Sr):calcium (Ca) ratios, the Sr and Ca contents of otoliths
of Sakhalin taimen, Hucho perryi, reared for 60 days in four salinities (freshwater, one-third seawater, two-thirds seawater, and full seawater) were examined.
The Ca and Sr contents and the resultant Sr:Ca ratios in the rearing water increased linearly with salinity. Otolith Sr:Ca
ratios were also found to be positively correlated with salinity. However, the Sr:Ca did not correspond to temperature fluctuations
during the experiment. These results indicate that Sr:Ca ratios in otoliths can be used to reconstruct the migratory history
of the fish by differentiating when the fish migrated between freshwater and seawater. 相似文献

Sakhalin taimen Hucho perryi populations have decreased drastically to near extinction. It is urgent to establish an effective conservation strategy based
on an understanding of the characteristics of migration and habitat use of this species. We examined the migration history
of anadromous Sakhalin taimen captured off the Sarufutsu coast, northern Hokkaido, Japan, using otolith Sr:Ca ratios and also
examined the relationship between their otolith Sr:Ca ratios during freshwater and seawater residence in a rearing experiment.
Otolith Sr:Ca ratios of some fish from the Sarufutsu coast showed freshwater levels (0.5–4.0 × 10−3) near the core, which thereafter increased to brackish water levels (4.0–6.0 × 10−3), and then to seawater levels (6.0–10.0 × 10−3) in the outermost regions. Those findings indicate that specimens from the Sarufutsu coast migrated to the brackish water
region or the sea and spent most of their lives there. The anadromous migration pattern including the timing of downstream
migration seems to be flexible among individuals in the species. They migrate between freshwater and seawater or brackish
water several times during their lives, showing extensive habitat use. It is essential to secure the continuity among the
freshwater, brackish water, and seawater areas for their effective conservation. 相似文献

Aquaculture of Japanese eel Anguilla japonica relies upon the natural recruitment of their glass eels (juveniles); however, predation that could influence glass eel recruitment remains unknown. In the present study, we aimed to elucidate the proportion of predation on A. japonica glass eels through stomach content analysis of predatory fishes collected in the estuary region of the Tone River system and its vicinity in Japan. Species of the predated glass eels were identified by DNA barcoding. A total of 270 predatory fishes of 15 taxa was collected over 2 years. The overall proportion of predation on glass eels, genetically identified as Japanese eel, was 0.7%, but this rose to 2.0% when data were limited to fishes caught during the peak months of glass eel recruitment. A glass eel was found in the stomach contents of a channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus, an invasive species in this river system, and a blackfin sea bass Lateolabrax latus. These fishes are therefore considered potential predators of A. japonica glass eels. However, as the proportion of predation was low, and the glass eels represented only small proportions of predator stomach contents, further investigation is needed for a better understanding of predation on A. japonica glass eels, and its effects on the early life stages of this endangered species. 相似文献

Photosynthesis and respiration rates were measured on 10 cm tall seedlings of Z. japonica at various temperatures and photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFDs), and the daily compensation points in each season
were estimated with a mathematical model based on photosynthetic properties and diurnal changes in solar irradiances. The
seedlings were grown from seeds collected at Tategami-ura, Ago Bay, Mie Prefecture, Japan, and cultured for 1 week under the
examined temperatures of 10–25°C. The estimated daily compensation points of Z. japonica ranged from 9.3 to 13.6% of the surface irradiance. The total PPFDs in daytime ranged from 3.8 to 5.3 mol photons m−2 day−1. The theoretical depth limits were calculated by the Beer-Lambert law concerning the relative light intensities of the sea
surface and the extinction coefficient. The estimated lowest limit of Z. japonica agreed well with the lowest depth (7 m) previously reported. Therefore, the mathematical model in this study can be used
to estimate the production and critical growing depth of Z. japonica. Differences in light requirements seem to be one of the reasons for the shallower habitats of Z. japonica in comparison with Z. marina. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: The migratory history of anadromous white-spotted charr Salvelinus leucomaenis collected from Japanese coastal waters, was examined in terms of strontium (Sr) and calcium (Ca) uptake in the otolith, by means of wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometry using an electron microprobe. Otolith Sr concentration or Sr : Ca ratios of anadromous S. leucomaenis , fluctuated strongly along the life history transect in accordance with the migration (habitat) pattern from sea to fresh water. The anadrmous S. leucomaenis showed phase L (low Sr : Ca ratio) from the core to the point 1000–2500 µm distant, averaging 1.3 × 10−3 to 2.7 × 10−3 and thereafter, the ratios increased sharply, being higher than 5.0 × 10−3 to 10.0 × 10−3 . These findings indicated that otolith Sr : Ca ratios reflected individual life histories, enabling a sea habitat to be identified from a freshwater habitat in this species. 相似文献

The free-living nematode, Panagrellus redivivus, was tested as live food for grouper Epinephelus coioides larvae during the first feeding stage. A series of experiments were conducted to determine the acceptability of the free-living
nematodes in grouper larvae at first feeding, the optimum nematode density and the response of the larvae to nutritionally
enriched nematode. All experiments were conducted in 200-L conical tanks filled with 150-L filtered seawater and stocked at
15 larvae L−1. Duration of feeding experiments was up to day 21 (experiment 1) and 14 days (experiment 2 and 3). Brachionus plicatilis and Artemia (experiment 1) and Brachionus plicatilis alone (experiment 2 & 3) was used as the control treatment. Observations indicated that the grouper larvae readily fed on
free-living nematodes as early as 3 days posthatching, the start of exogenous feeding. Optimum feeding density for the larvae
was 75 nematodes ml−1. The enrichment of cod liver oil or sunflower oil influenced the total lipids and n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids of P. redivivus, which in turn influenced those of the grouper larvae, however, growth and survival of the larvae were not affected (P > 0.05). The results from this investigation showed that the nematode, P. redivivus, can be used as first live food for grouper larvae from the onset of exogenous feeding until they could feed on Artemia nauplii. 相似文献

The age and growth of two Nematalosa species around Okinawa Island were examined using sectioned otoliths collected from September 2003 to April 2006. Monthly
changes in the frequency of the appearance of a translucent band on the outer margin of the otoliths indicated that ring formation
occurred once a year from January to July for Nematalosa come and from January to March for Nematalosa japonica. The von Bertalanffy growth equations for both species were as follows: N. come: L
t
= 365.5{1 − exp[−0.111 × (t + 0.288)]} for females and L
t
= 214.7{1 − exp[−0.700 × (t – 1.110)]} for males; N. japonica: L
t
= 205.1{1 − exp[−1.068 × (t − 1.180)]} for females and L
t
= 195.5 {1 − exp[−1.293 × (t − 1.269)]} for males. The maximum ages observed for N. come and N. japonica were 11 and 6 years old, respectively. The growth of these species was characterized by the slow growth of N. come over many years, resulting in a larger size than N. japonica. 相似文献

The blue mussel Mytilus
edulis is a commercially important species whose fishery and culture generally relies on natural spat collection. Hatchery-production
could provide an alternative source of seed, enabling reliable expansion of the industry. Mussel spawning and larval rearing
trials were carried out to optimise elements of hatchery production. Culturing fertilised eggs at low density (20–200 eggs cm−2) rather than high density (400–720 eggs cm−2) significantly improved the quality of first veliger larvae and differences in this improvement were evident between the
eggs from different females (maternal effects). Veliger larval growth at 17 or 21°C was significantly faster than growth at
14°C. Feeding veliger larvae an identical total ration either daily or at 2–3 day intervals did not significantly affect their
growth. Different microalgal diets (1: Isochrysis sp. (clone T-ISO), 2: Chaetoceros
calcitrans forma pumilus, 3: C. muelleri, 4: mixed Isochrysis sp. (clone T-ISO) and C. calcitrans f. pumilus, and 5: mixed Isochrysis sp. (clone T-ISO) and C. muelleri) were tested on veliger larval growth and mixed diets outperformed single-species diets. 相似文献

Microstructures of lapilli were examined for reared larvae and juveniles of black-spot tuskfish Choerodon schoenleinii. Lapilli of larvae at 1 day after hatching have one diffuse and obscure ring with an otolith radius of 4.3 ± 0.50 μm (mean ± SD,
N = 8). The slope and intercept of the regression between the number of days after hatching and increment counts did not differ
significantly from one and zero, respectively, indicating that lapillus increments were formed on a daily basis after hatching.
There was an ontogenetic shift in the relative values of somatic and otolith growth, which corresponded to the transition
from pelagic larvae to settlement stage. Simultaneously, the daily increment width reached the maximum value. These findings
suggest that age at maximum value of increment width can be used as an indicator of the planktonic larval duration while settlement
mark is not found. Since ontogenetic shift in the relationship between otolith radius and body size was observed, back-calculation
of somatic growth in black-spot tuskfish using the otolith radius during the early life stages should be analyzed with caution,
and the method requires further validation. 相似文献

It has been reported that the nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial and nuclear genes of Takifugu pufferfish torafugu T. rubripes and karasu T. chinensis show 99–100% sequence identity, indicating a very close relationship between the two species. To further investigate this
genetic relationship, we compared genetic variation at four microsatellite loci and at the mitochondrial control region (CR)
(561 bp) between groups of T. rubripes caught at two locations [TrG, caught in the Genkai Sea off Tsushima Island in 2003 (n = 50); TrS, caught in the Suwo Sea off Kita-Kyushu in 2008 (n = 50)] and T. chinensis caught at one location (TcK, caught off the east coast of Korea in 2004; n = 50). Analyses using microsatellite loci showed that genetic diversity index values of the TrG, TrS and TcK groups were
0.9505, 0.9350 and 0.9335, respectively, while values of genetic distance and genetic differentiation between TrG and TcK
(0.0543 and 0.0189, respectively) were smaller than those between TrG and TrS (0.0857 and 0.0194, respectively). Analyses
using CR for the same specimens showed that genetic distances were consistent with those obtained using microsatellite loci.
These results, together with our previous observations, suggest that T. rubripes and T. chinensis are very closely related and possibly can be regarded as the same species. 相似文献

Photosynthetic activity of Zostera japonica seedlings was measured using a gas volumeter at 0 and 6 days in culture under eight light (0–800 μmol photons/m2/s) and ten water temperature conditions (5–35°C). Seedlings from Ago Bay, Mie Prefecture were cultured in incubators accurately
controlled at each test temperature for 1 week. After 1 week, maximum gross photosynthesis (P
maxg) appeared at 29°C and most seedlings cultured at 30–35°C bleached and withered. At the same time, the light compensation
point (I
c) increased only at 30°C during the culture period. As a result, the upper critical water temperature for survival was 29°C
in Z. japonica seedlings, which agrees well with that for the southern boundary of Z. japonica around Japanese coast. It is necessary to monitor this species around this boundary as a bio-indicator for seawater warming. 相似文献

The effects of two alternative prey (crayfish and hake) were tested on growth and survival of both juveniles and adults of
Octopus vulgaris in two experiments. Octopuses fed the control (squid) were larger (3.0 ± 0.7 kg) than those fed crayfish (2.4 ± 0.6 kg) at
the end of experiment I. Similarly, overall growth rates were higher for octopuses fed squid (1.7 ± 0.3 and 1.2 ± 0.2 %BW day−1, respectively). Average feeding rates for the experiment were not different, being 6.5 ± 0.9 and 7.5 ± 0.9 %BW day−1, respectively, for octopuses fed either squid or crayfish. Nevertheless, food conversions for the experiment were higher
(42.4 ± 2.7%) for octopuses fed squid compared to the ones fed crayfish (23.9 ± 1.9 g). For experiment II, hake and crayfish
were compared to squid; the final weight of octopuses fed squid, hake or crayfish was 1,183.0 ± 242.7 g, 1,175.6 ± 240.1 g
and 922.3 ± 160.1 g, respectively. Overall growth rates for the experiment were 1.9 ± 0.2 %BW day−1, 1.9 ± 0.3 %BW day−1 and 1.1 ± 0.3 g, respectively. Final weight and growth rates were never different (P > 0.05) between octopuses fed squid and hake, but were always higher (P < 0.05) compared to the ones fed crayfish. Average feeding rates for experiment II were similar for the three diets, and
of 4.6 ± 1.5, 4.2 ± 1.3 %BW day−1 and 5.1 ± 0.9 %BW day−1, respectively, for octopuses fed squid, hake or crayfish. Food conversions for experiment II were of 41.0 ± 9.6%, 40.5 ± 9.9%
and 21.3 ± 7.4 g, respectively, for octopuses fed squid, hake or crayfish, and were always higher for octopuses fed squid
and hake compared to crayfish. The results indicate that crayfish is not an adequate replacement for the usual prey to fatten
octopus, even considering its much lower market price. 相似文献

We analysed the genetic diversity of Melicertus kerathurus (Penaeidae), a commercially valuable penaeid shrimp that is distributed in the Mediterranean Sea and eastern Atlantic Ocean.
We examined the polymorphism of a 494 bp DNA segment of the mitochondrial COI region in 173 individuals, sampled in nine Mediterranean
and two Atlantic samples, covering the whole range of the species from the tropical waters of the Gulf of Guinea to the eastern
part of the Mediterranean Sea. The mean nucleotide and haplotype diversities were π = 0.00275 and h = 0.718, respectively, for the global data set, with the highest values occurring in the African samples and the lowest in
the Adriatic Sea. A clear sample differentiation was found (F
st = 0.194), but this did not reflect a geographical pattern and there were only faint traces of an Atlantic–Mediterranean subdivision.
Mismatch analysis and a high significant negative value of Tajima’s D suggested that M. kerathurus is not at mutation drift-equilibrium, but underwent a recent expansion after a period of low effective sample size. A postglacial
recolonisation of the Mediterranean from an Atlantic refuge could be hypothesised based on these data. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP) supplemented in diet on the innate cellular immune response and disease resistance in grouper, Epinephelus malabaricus. Fish were fed diets containing different doses of ASP (0, 500 and 3,000 mg kg−1 diet) for 12 weeks. After 12 week feeding, the respiratory burst activity, phagocytic activity, and leukocytes proliferation
in head kidney were assayed. The functional immunity in terms of cumulative mortality was also assessed by a challenge with
live Edwardsiella tarda. Results showed that the respiratory burst activities in ASP-supplemented groups were increased significantly. The respiratory
burst index was the highest in fish-fed 3000 mg kg−1 diet and the lowest in control. The phagocytic activities in ASP-supplemented groups were significantly higher than that
of control. No significant difference in phagocytic activity was observed between ASP-supplemented groups. ASP stimulated
the head kidney leukocytes proliferation significantly, despite the absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or not. The cumulative
mortalities of fish fed with 3000 mg ASP kg−1 diet were significantly lower than those fed with 500 mg ASP kg−1 diet and control diet after 96 h of challenge. In conclusion, dietary ASP enhanced some cellular immune parameters and disease
resistance against E. tarda in grouper. 相似文献

This paper reports the effect of feeding probiotic diets on blood profiles in rainbow trout. Two experiments were performed:
in the first, fish of average weight 75 g were offered either a commercial feed or the same incorporated with 109 CFU g−1 of lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus for 30 days; in the second study performed for a similar duration, fish of average weight 126 g were offered formulated diets
that either contained the same bacteria in heat-killed or freeze-dried form (nearly 1011 CFU g−1), or the basal diet without the bacteria. Blood samples were collected at different times after commencement of probiotic
feeding to determine the total cholesterol, triglyceride contents, the plasma alkaline phosphatase activity, plasma protein
and hematocrit value. The plasma cholesterol significantly increased upon probiotic feeding in the first experiment. A significant
elevation (P < 0.05) of plasma cholesterol and triglyceride and alkaline phosphatase activity level was found in the freeze-dried probiotic
fed groups at 20 and 30 days postfeeding. This was concomitant with the increased plasma protein and hematocrit values in
FD group at 20 and 30 days. Likewise, the heat-killed probiotic fed group registered significantly high values of triglycerides,
alkaline phosphatase activity, and plasma protein compared to the control diet fed groups after 20 days of feeding. Thus,
alterations in the blood profiles could serve as supplementary information when examining the benefits of probiotics for fish. 相似文献

The reproductive biology of female Pasiphaea japonica, including the minimum size of females carrying embryos, spawning and hatching seasons, and brood size, was examined in Toyama
Bay, central Japan, during 2004 through 2007. Sampling was conducted onboard a commercial seiner and a fisheries research
vessel. The minimum size of ovigerous females was 47.7 mm body length. The percent occurrence of ovigerous females increased
with body size, reaching 50% at 57.9 mm body length. Ovigerous females occurred all year round with a seasonal change in percent
occurrence, ranging between 41.5 and 94.3% of the total observed females. Consequently, reproduction in females seems to occur
throughout the year in Toyama Bay, with seasonal differences in reproductive intensity. Spawning intensity was high during
April–July and October–January based on the occurrence of the early developmental stage of embryos, while hatching intensity
was high in October–May based on the occurrence of embryos just before hatching. Brood sizes were similar at the same size
of body length regardless of embryo stage, except just after spawning. 相似文献

The present study examined whether the elemental compositions of whole otoliths and chronological transect profiles of otoliths
covering the complete life history are useful for evaluating the population structure of Pacific herring. Eight elemental
ratios, Li:Ca, Na:Ca, Mg:Ca, K:Ca, Mn:Ca, Cu:Ca, Sr:Ca, and Ba:Ca, were measured in whole otoliths and in a series of ablations
across the life-history transects by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. We studied fish from three
sample groups collected from Lake Obuchinuma, Miyako Bay, and Akkeshi Bay of northern Japan from March to May 2008. Significant
differences were found in the Na:Ca, Mg:Ca, P:Ca, K:Ca, Mn:Ca, and Ba:Ca ratios of the whole otoliths and in the Li:Ca, Na:Ca,
K:Ca, Mn:Ca, Sr:Ca, and Ba:Ca ratios of the otolith core among the three sample groups. Therefore, the present study showed
clear differences in elemental composition among the three sample groups from different locations, suggesting that otolith
elemental compositions reflect the habitats experienced by individual fish. 相似文献

Prostaglandins are involved in the reproductive processes in a variety of animals, including crustaceans. It was found that
polychaetes, the best maturation diet for shrimp broodstock, possessed the greatest variation of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) when compared with other live feeds. The level of PGE2 varied according to sizes, feed intake, sources and type of polychaete. The matured and also larger sand polychaete Perinereis sp. contained higher PGE2 levels than younger and smaller sand polychaetes (18.16 ± 5.82 ng PGE2 mg−1 protein for polychaetes at an average length of 10 cm up to 160.8 ± 37.09 ng PGE2 mg−1 protein for polychaetes at an average length of 17 cm). The PGE2 levels in ovaries and haemolymph of female shrimp fluctuated with the developmental stage of the ovaries. The highest concentration
of PGE2 in haemolymph was at stage 3 of ovarian development, whereas the highest concentration of PGE2 in shrimp ovaries was at stage 4. In vitro incubation of Penaeus monodon pre-vitellogenic oocytes with polychaete extract and synthetic PGE2 demonstrated that both PGE2s enhanced oocyte development, especially during late development and ovulation. The putative role of PGE2 from polychaetes or the presence of PGE2 in polychaetes may be a factor in their role as a dietary constituent required for shrimp oocyte development. 相似文献

The embryonic development and morphology of eggs and newly hatched larvae of the Pacific herring Clupea pallasii were described using laboratory-reared specimens originating from the Miyako Bay stock. The eggs were almost spherical in
shape, 1.33–1.46 mm (mean: 1.38 mm) in diameter, and had a thick adherent chorion. They had a segmented pale yellow yolk,
no oil globule, and a relatively wide perivitelline space. A subgerminal cavity was observed during the gastrula period, whereas
the blastocoel did not appear. Mass hatching occurred by 271 h 45 min after fertilization, and the newly hatched larvae were
7.1–7.7 mm (mean: 7.5 mm) in total length with 53–56 myomeres at 9.6°C. The embryonic development of Pacific herring was substantially
similar to that of zebrafish Danio rerio, American shad Alosa sapidissima, as well as Atlantic herring Clupea harengus, and generally followed the basic developmental pattern of teleosts. However, Pacific herring larvae hatched at a more developed
stage than some other clupeoids, such as Japanese sardine Sardinops melanostictus, and the progressed developmental stage at hatching could be interpreted as an advanced adaptation. 相似文献
