A red-spotted grouper Epinephelus akaara skin (RGS) cell line was established and characterized. RGS cells had a normal diploid chromosome number of 2n = 48, the morphology of which was fibroblastic-like in 3 days and epithelial-like over 5 after 16 passages. The cells multiplied well in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium supplemented with 10% of fetal bovine serum at 25°C. Susceptibilities of RGS and grass carp ovary (GCO) cells to two viruses were tested, and the results showed that the titer of an iridovirus Rana grylio virus (RGV) in RGS cells was 103.5 TCID50 ml?1, which was much higher than a rhabdovirus spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) in the cells (100.5 TCID50 ml?1). The titers of RGV and SVCV in GCO were 106.0 TCID50 ml?1 and 108.0 TCID50 ml?1, respectively, which were higher than those in RGS cells. The data may imply that RGS cells could be selectively resistible to some viruses during infection. RT-PCR analysis of RGV-infected RGS cells showed that RGV could replicate in RGS cells. Further study of virus replications in RGS cells was conducted by electron microscopy and immunofluorescence microscopy has shown that virus particles scattered in the cytoplasm and virus protein appeared in both the cytoplasm and nucleus. The results suggested that RGS cells could be used as a potential in vitro model to study the cutaneous barrier function against virus infection.  相似文献

Three different concentrations (107, 105 and 103 TCID50 ml-1) of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) serotype Sp isolated from Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus L., were used to bath-challenge Atlantic halibut yolk-sac larvae. The larvae challenged with 107 TCID50 ml-1 suffered significantly higher cumulative mortality than the other challenged groups and the control group, and affected individuals displayed necrosis of the intestine, liver and kidney. In larvae from the groups challenged with 107 and 105 TCID50 ml-1, IPNV was detected by immunohistochemistry and in situ RNA/DNA hybridization in the intestine, liver and kidney. In addition, some individuals stained IPNV-positive in the heart and eye/brain region. Detection by in situ hybridization did not appear to be more sensitive than immunohistochemistry. However, background staining was virtually absent in comparison with immunohistochemistry, and the staining seemed to be more distinctly localized to the cytoplasm of infected cells. The results show that farmed halibut yolk-sac larvae can be infected by IPNV immediately after hatching, with resulting high mortality. As the larvae are not immunologically mature at this stage of development, vaccination is not recommended.  相似文献

To understand the actual production of fish culture about the utilization of dietary protein and excreta impact on the environment between mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus), the study to investigate the effect of temperatures (19 ± 0.5°C, 24 ± 0.5°C and 29 ± 0.5°C) on ammonia‐N excretion in mandarin fish and grass carp under fed and fasted states was conducted. These two species were fed a practical diet containing 325.2 g kg?1 crude protein at 3% body weight per day. The ammonia‐N excretion rate was significantly increased when temperature increased from 19 to 29°C, and a linear relationship between ammonia‐N excretion rate and temperature. The maximum ammonia‐N excretion levels of mandarin fish and grass carp were observed at 4–8 h and 2–4 h after feeding, respectively, and the minimum values for both species were observed at 24 h after feeding. Under the feeding condition, mandarin fish had a lower ammonia‐N excretion level compared to grass carp at 24°C and 29°C. The average amount of ammonia‐N excreted by mandarin fish at 24 h is significantly higher than grass carp under fasting conditions, except 19 ± 0.5°C. These results indicated that mandarin fish might make better use of protein at higher temperature than grass carp when fed practical diets in commercial production. These results of this study suggested that mandarin fish had a lower ammonia‐N excretion level compared with grass carp, making a less contribution to environmental loading in an intensive fish culture.  相似文献

Giant freshwater prawns, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (17.9 ± 2.7 g), exposed to different concentrations of saponin at 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 mg l− 1 for 168 h were examined for osmolality, electrolyte levels, oxyhemocyanin, protein levels, acid-base balance status, total hemocyte count (THC), phenoloxidase activity, and respiratory bursts. Hemolymph oxyhemocyanin, protein, and pO2 were inversely related to the saponin concentration. Hemolymph oxyhemocyanin, protein, pO2, pCO2, and pH of prawns exposed to 1.2 mg l− 1 saponin were significantly lower than those of prawns exposed to 0.3 mg l− 1 and control solutions. However, no significant difference was observed in osmolality or electrolyte levels of prawns exposed to different concentrations of saponin for 168 h. The THC of prawns following 168 h of exposure to 0.9 and 1.2 mg l− 1 saponin increased, but the phenoloxidase activity decreased suggesting that the decrease in phenoloxidase activity under saponin stress was not a consequence of the increase in THC. We concluded that saponin at as low as 0.9 mg l− 1 decreases the respiratory protein level and acid-base balance, and modulates the immune system of M. rosenbergii.  相似文献

Standardized experimental protocols designed to study Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) gamete quality have not been previously published. Gamete sampling variations and confounding effect of interacting factors result in large variations between replicates, decreasing the effects of the studied factors. This work aims at defining a standardized procedure for incubation of oyster embryos designed for experimental purposes.In a first phase, four experiments were developed to improve embryo sampling and handling. They showed that a minimum of 50 embryos must be counted to decrease the variation between counting replicates. For reliable results, sampling must be carried out from 0 to 7 min after a careful agitation of seawater containing embryos (salinity: 35.6‰). Compared to control and a 30 cm one, the D-larval yield of embryos submitted to a 1 m fall was significantly reduced, showing the limited effect of mechanical disturbance on Pacific oyster oocytes survival. Then, maintaining 2.2 million embryos in 250 ml seawater for a two hours period resulted in a decrease of D-larval yield which could not be explained by a decrease of O2 content and pH of seawater.The second phase of this work included a set of five experiments, defining experimental incubation conditions. A higher larval yield was observed using 1.8 l beakers and 150 l tanks compared to 0.3 ml microtiter plates and 1 l fish egg incubators. Higher larval yields were recorded when embryo density ranged from 5 to 100 ml− 1, compared to values between 500 and 2000 ml− 1. Compared to controls (no antibiotic or no presence of light), no changes of D-larval yield were observed by adding 20 ppm chloramphenicol or by maintaining embryos in total darkness. Then, a significant decrease of pH and O2 content was observed during the incubation period. However, these changes could not be considered as limiting for Pacific oyster embryo development.In conclusion, experimental incubation conditions have been defined in this study: 30 embryos ml− 1 incubated in 1.8 l beakers without antibiotic and regardless of light intensity, when not higher than 500 lux. The mean coefficients of variation observed between tank replicates ranged from 13.1 to 16.5%. The standardized incubation procedure described in this work will help to study quality variations of Pacific oyster gametes.  相似文献

A major problem in the development of Senegalese sole Solea senegalensis intensive culture is the poor control on reproduction, in part due to the lack of knowledge on the precise role of photoperiod and temperature. Thus, gonadal maturation was evaluated by assessing the sequential changes in plasma levels of 17β-estradiol (E2), 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT), and testosterone (T) in both female and male cultured Senegalese sole (F1 generation) exposed to various combinations of constant or naturally-fluctuating daylength and water temperature. Under natural photoperiod (NP; 36° N), exposure to constant temperature (t0; 18-20 °C) disrupted gonadal development, as indicated by a lower incidence (in comparison with naturally-fluctuating water temperature; 14-24 °C) of females at advanced maturation (from February to April: 12 vs. 33%) and running males (from February to May: 46% vs. 57%), and the reduced mean (± S.E.M.) sex steroid plasma levels (female peak E2 levels: 2.9 ± 0.28 vs. 1.8 ± 0.3 ng ml− 1; male peak T levels: 1.5 ± 0.14 vs. 0.9 ± 0.06 ng ml− 1). Therefore, the onset and progression of gonadal development in this species seem to be strongly (“proximally”) influenced by fluctuating water temperature. When compared to NP and t0, exposure to continuous light (LL) under t0 significantly reduced steroid production (female peak E2 levels: 1.8 ± 0.28 vs. 0.5 ± 0.05 ng ml− 1; male peak 11-KT levels: 9.4 ± 1.06 vs. 5.4 ± 1.33 ng ml− 1) and subsequently gonadal development (lower proportions of females at intermediate [46 vs. 6%] and advanced maturation [12 vs. 0%] from February to April and of RM [46 vs. 33%] from February to May). Thus, the seasonal changes of daylength would be crucial for normal gonadal development, being its cueing effects of higher magnitude than those of water temperature. The present report constitutes the first systematic study focused on the environmental control of reproductive events in Senegalese sole.  相似文献

肖四海湖五种渔具的鳜渔获结构特征及其对鳜资源的影响   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
为评估不同渔具对鳜资源的影响,于2007年5月和12月对长江中游浅水湖泊肖四海湖刺网、延绳钓、网簖、电拖网和电捕仪5种渔具捕获的鳜渔获物结构特征进行了调查分析.结果发现,共采集鳜样本359尾,全长分布范围为92 ~600 mm,优势全长集中于251~350 mm;体质量分布范围为10~3 380 g,优势体质量集中于300 ~500 g.种群由5个年龄组构成,2~3龄为优势龄组,占总数的74.6%.刺网、延绳钓和网簖对鳜有较强的捕捞选择性,网目大小为80 mm和100 mm刺网的鳜渔获物中2龄及以上成熟个体占总数的93.3%,个体平均体质量466 g,“标鳜”(0.4 ~0.75 kg)个体占总数量的57.0%;延绳钓捕获的鳜渔获物中2龄及以上成熟个体占总数的86.9%,“标鳜”个体占总数量的43.5%;网簖捕获的鳜渔获物中90%以上为1龄的未成熟个体.电拖网和电捕仪捕获的鳜全长范围明显较大,其渔获物以1龄和2龄个体为主.综合分析表明,刺网适于作为鳜捕捞的主要渔具,延绳钓可以作为一种鳜捕捞的辅助渔具.网簖对鳜补充群体有较大危害,不适于作为鳜的捕捞网具.电拖网和电捕仪均属于违法渔具,对鳜资源危害巨大,应该加大监管力度,严禁使用.  相似文献

The results of a series of pilot-scale runs with P. mazatlanica larvae from 2004 through 2006 are reported. Preliminary runs in 2004 and 2005 used broodstock collected in summer, when massive spawning of wild populations naturally occurs. However, results of larval development were very poor and failed to produce spat in both years. In 2006, ripe broodstock were still collected in summer, but also in the spring time, based on the hypothesis that the gonads in this season were in better reproductive condition that in summer. Three larval runs were conducted in 2006: two in spring and one in summer. Larvae growth and survival greatly increased in both spring runs, ending with two successful productions of spat (∼ 20 × 103 and ∼ 100 × 103 juveniles). The summer larval run in 2006 failed again to produce spat. Additionally, the first run of April 2006 refers to an experiment that evaluated two different larval culture conditions: constant temperature (27 °C) and low stocking density (3-4 larvae ml− 1) versus variable temperature (24-28 °C) and high stocking density (8-9 larvae ml− 1). The first trial significantly increased larval survival and growth, which in turn resulted in greater numbers of settled spat, in comparison of the second trial, where survival, growth, and settlement of spat were significantly lower. Also in 2006, the quality of seawater used at the hatchery was evaluated with microbiological and chemical tests. The implication of these tests, together with results from all experiments are analyzed and discussed in terms of the potential development of large-scale hatchery cultivation of P. mazatlanica larvae in Mexico.  相似文献

The spider crab Maja brachydactyla is overexploited on the NW coast of Spain. Aquaculture of this species can be the solution to the problem, and consequently, several attempts of intensive larval rearing have been conducted. However, most of the studies already published do not provide enough zoo technical data, especially in terms of larval and prey densities or the nutritional quality of diets used for rearing.Three experiments were carried out to evaluate the conditions for intensive larval rearing of M. brachydactyla. Larval stocking density (10, 50 and 100 larvae L− 1), prey:larva ratio (15, 30 and 60 enriched Artemia larva− 1) and diet (enriched Artemia, non-enriched Artemia and polychaete supplement) effects on growth and survival of this species were studied. For larval culture nine, 35 L, 150 μm mesh-bottomed PVC cylinders (triplicates for each treatment and larval stage) connected to a recirculation unit, were used. Temperature and salinity were kept constant at 18 °C and 36‰ respectively. A 12 to 18 day trial was conducted for each experiment and samples of larvae were collected at each larval stage (zoea I, zoea II, megalopa) in the inter-molt phase and at first juvenile. Survival, carapace length and width, dry weight (DW), and proximate biochemical content (protein, carbohydrates and total lipid) as well as lipid class composition were determined.Stocking densities of 100 larvae L− 1 resulted in higher growth in DW and higher content in lipids and protein for zoea I (ZI) and zoea II (ZII) than 10 larvae L− 1. However, survival decreased with increasing stocking density.The use of 60 preys larva− 1 produced larvae with significantly higher DW and protein content, especially at ZII stage, than lower prey densities. Survival rate obtained feeding 60 preys larva− 1 up to the megalopa stage was almost two-fold (42.2%) the rate obtained using 15 preys larva− 1 (24.8%).Larvae fed on enriched Artemia (EA) showed an increase in weight up to megalopa (518.9 ± 26.5 μg) in contrast to larvae fed on non-enriched prey (A) (467.9 ± 6.9 μg). Variation in DW correlated with the total lipid content (L) of the larvae (LEA = 70.1 ± 37.5 μg ind− 1; L= 28.9 ± 3.2 μg ind− 1) especially in terms of neutral lipids. The use of an initial density of at least 50 larvae L− 1 and 60 enriched Artemia larva− 1 can be considered the most adequate rearing parameters in order to obtain good results in growth and survival of M. brachydactyla.  相似文献

The mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi is a historically important aquaculture species in China and exhibits sexually dimorphic growth. However, sex determination of this fish remains unclear so far. In this study, we induced meiotic gynogenesis in S. chuatsi using irradiated heterologous sperm from spotted mandarin fish (Siniperca scherzeri) to uncover its mechanism of sex determination. Up to 7.52% diploid progeny were obtained among three gynogenetic families in this study. Molecular analysis of female and male donors and sampled young gynogens by seven microsatellite loci further confirmed no genetic contributions from the ‘father’ S. scherzeri. After 8 months of culture, external morphology of adult fish showed that all gynogens were cloned from their mothers. Gonads of the gynogenetic progeny were examined by histological observations and the sexing results showed that they were almost 100% females, strongly supporting an assumption of female homogamety in mandarin fish. By this study, we obtained pure lines of S. chuatsi and elucidated its genetic mechanism of sex determination, providing a basis for possible sex control breeding in this species.  相似文献

Three potentially valuable red seaweeds, Chondrus crispus Stackhouse, Gracilaria bursa pastoris (S.G. Gmelin) P.C. Silva and Palmaria palmata (L.) O. Kuntze, collected in northern Portugal, were cultivated using the nutrient-rich effluents from a local turbot (Scophthalmus maximus Linnaeus) and sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax Linnaeus) farm. The algae were cultivated in a two level cascade system. Several arrangements of the cascade system, stocking densities (3, 5, 7 and 8 kg m− 2) and water fluxes (140 and 325 l h− 1) were tested to optimize biomass yield and nitrogen uptake rate and efficiency. The yield and the total ammonium nitrogen (TAN) uptake of the three species were highly seasonal. Palmaria could not survive culture conditions during the summer when water temperature was above 21 °C. In the spring, Palmaria had an average yield of 40.2 (± 12.80) g DW m− 2 day− 1 and a nitrogen uptake efficiency (NUE) of 41.0% (± 17.26%). NUE expresses, in percentage, the average reduction in TAN concentration between the inflows and the outflows of the tanks. Chondrus performed better in summer with an average yield of 37.0 (± 11.10) g DW m− 2 day− 1 and removing 41.3% (± 17.32%) of nitrogen. Gracilaria grew year round, but also performed better during spring/summer, producing an average of 29.1 (± 2.90) g DW m− 2 day− 1, and only 7.3 (± 5.08) g DW m− 2 day− 1 during autumn. Yield of C. crispus did not differ significantly when grown at two different stocking densities (5 kg m− 2 and 8 kg m− 2). On the other hand, Gracilaria had significantly higher yields at 5 than at 7 kg m− 2. Better NUE, on average 76.7% (± 22.13%), was also obtained with 5 kg m− 2 stocking density and only 63.8% (± 24.62%) with 7 kg m− 2. The yield of Gracilaria increased significantly with the increase of water flux from 140 to 325 l h− 1 and more nitrogen was removed from the water. However, NUE decreased from 48.4% to 33.4% at 140 and 325 l h− 1, respectively. Biofiltration was highly improved by a cascade system with a NUE as high as 83.5%.  相似文献

Effects of the salinity and pH on ion-transport enzyme activities, survival and growth of Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae were investigated. Shrimp were transferred from salinity 31‰ and pH 8.1 to different salinity levels of 22, 25, 28, 31 (control), and to different pH levels of 7.1, 7.6, 8.1 (control), 8.6 and 9.1. The results showed ion-transport enzyme activities and weight gains of postlarvae were significantly affected by salinity and pH variation, which had no obvious effect on survival rate. The changing salinity affected the activities of total ATPase and Na+-K+-ATPase notably (F > F0.05), meanwhile, non-significantly to the activities of V-ATPase, HCO3-ATPase. Within 48 h of salinity changing, the activities of ATPase, Na+-K+-ATPase in each treatment group gradually increased with the sampling time and reached their climax at 48 h, and then stabilized, showing negative correlation with salinity. The changing of pH affected greatly the activities of ATPase, Na+-K+-ATPase, V-ATPase and HCO3-ATPase (F > F0.05), the activities of ATPase, Na+-K+-ATPase in each treatment group (pH = 7.1, 7.6, 8.6, 9.1) showed peak change within 72 h and stabilized afterwards, and the Na+-K+-ATPase activities came back to the level of the control group; Meanwhile the changing extent of V-ATPase and HCO3-ATPase activity corresponded with the grads of pH, and these ATPase activities showed negative correlation with pH changing, the activities of V-ATPase, HCO3-ATPase in postlarvae of each treatment group came to stable level after 24 h. The experiment also indicated the strength order of these ion-transport enzyme activities were as follows: Na+-K+-ATPase > V-ATPase > HCO3-ATPase. Na+-K+-ATPase was the chief undertaker of osmoregulation under the salinity effects, while V-ATPase and HCO3-ATPase were the chief osmoregulation undertakers under pH changing. In different salinity environment, the contributions of Na+-K+-ATPase, V-ATPase and HCO3-ATPase of L. vannamei postlarvae approximately accounted for 62.0-78.0%, 15.9-29.0% and 2.03-4.12% of ATPase activities in total, respectively. Meanwhile, in different pH medium, the contributions of these ATPases approximately accounted for 50.7-67.4%, 21.3-31.8% and 2.15-7.90% of total ATPase activities, respectively. Weight gain of shrimp transferred to salinity 31 (control) and 28‰ was significantly higher than that of shrimp reared at 25 and 22‰, and weight gain of shrimp transferred to pH 8.1 (control) and 8.6 was significantly higher that that of shrimp transferred to pH 7.1, 7.6 and 9.1. It was suggested that during the process of desalting and culturing of postlarvae, the salinity changing should not exceed 3 and pH variety not more than 0.5.  相似文献

为了研究鳜IRAK4生物学特性及其在抗病毒免疫应答中的作用,根据鳜转录组数据中筛选出的IRAK4 unigene序列设计引物,利用SMART-RACE技术克隆得到CDS全长为1389 bp的c DNA(命名为Sc IRAK),编码462个氨基酸,含有1个N端死亡结构域和1个保守的中央蛋白激酶结构域。采用荧光定量RT-PCR方法分析了Sc IRAK4在健康鳜各组织中的表达差异及病毒感染后在脾脏中的表达变化,结果显示,健康鳜中Sc IRAK4在肝脏中表达量最大,与其他组织差异显著,而在血液、脑和胃中表达量最低;传染性脾肾坏死病毒(infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus,ISKNV)感染鳜后Sc IRAK4的表达量呈现下调趋势,24 h脾脏中的表达量达到最低,为对照组的45%;而鳜弹状病毒(siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus,SCRV)感染鳜后Sc IRAK4的表达量呈现上调趋势,12 h脾脏中Sc IRAK4的表达量达到最高,为对照组的8.17倍,表明Sc IRAK4在抗ISKNV和SCRV的免疫应答中可能发挥不同的作用。本研究为进一步揭示Sc IRAK4的抗病毒免疫反应机制提供了依据。  相似文献

Different assays related to the first feeding of Octopus vulgaris Cuvier, 1797 are compiled in this paper. They include: age at initial feeding age, prey size selection and optimal density, attack timing after feeding, and effect of dose number on the number of captures. Prey capture and ingestion processes were also analysed. Food supplied was cultured Artemia sp. Each assay lasted 15 min.Although paralarvae already start to feed on the hatching day (day 0), it is during day 2 when a greater number of attacks is recorded (81.7 ± 14.7% paralarvae attack). They mainly prefer (significance level α = 0.05) large Artemia, 1.4 ± 0.4 mm (77.0 ± 5.6% of the total attacks) than small Artemia, 0.8 ± 0.1 mm (23.0 ± 5.6%). There is also a slight predilection for the lowest Artemia concentration (33.3 ±12.6% paralarvae attack in a 0.1 Artemia ml− 1 density, opposite 16.7 ± 7.6 and 18.3 ± 7.6% in densities of 0.5 and 1 Artemia ml− 1 respectively). The greatest predatory activity is recorded during the first 5 min after food is supplied (72.2 ± 25.5%). An increase in the predatory activity was also observed when food was distributed in several doses instead of a single dose (75.0 ± 10.0% and 46.7 ± 17.6% respectively). It was proved for the first time that paralarvae completely ingest their preys (including their exoskeletons), in this case Artemia. Time needed for their total ingestion ranges between 4 and 10 min.  相似文献

The current study investigated acute toxicity to ammonia of the South African abalone, Haliotis midae, from three size classes relevant to mariculture operations, and the chronic impact of sub-lethal ammonia levels on growth of juvenile abalone.Results showed that tolerance to ammonia (at pH 7.8 and Ta = 15 °C) increases with body size (i.e. age) as indicated by 36 h LC50 values: juvenile abalone (1-2.5 cm shell length) had the lowest LC50 of 9.8 μg l− 1 FAN, whereas LC50 was 12.9 μg l− 1 FAN in “cocktail”-size abalone (5-8 cm shell length). The highest LC50 of 16.4 μg l− 1 FAN was observed in “brood stock”-size animals (10-15 cm). When “cocktail”-size abalone were allowed to acclimatize to sub-lethal ammonia levels for 48 h, their ammonia tolerance increased compared with non-acclimatized abalone of the same size: LC50 was 2.0 μg l− 1 FAN higher at 14.8 μg l− 1 FAN.Growth of juvenile abalone (1-2.5 cm shell length) during chronic exposure to sub-lethal FAN levels is inhibited: specific growth rate (SGR) is significantly reduced by 58.7% to 0.10 ± 0.03% d− 1 (weight) compared with 0.24 ± 0.06% d− 1 of abalone of a control group (no ammonia).The results demonstrate the negative effects of ammonia not only on survival but also on growth of farmed abalone, both impair profitability of the farming operation. The information from the present study will be helpful in determining water quality requirements in South African abalone farms.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to understand the microbial flora associated with the hatchery system of giant fresh water prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii during an entire rearing cycle. Bacteriological and physico-chemical analysis was done for different samples of water, larvae, and Artemia. The total bacterial load in well water, seawater and inlet water varied from 101 to 105 cfu ml− 1 with higher counts seen in larval rearing tank (LRT) water. The Vibrio count ranged between 101 to 103 cfu ml− 1. Larval samples harboured a bacterial load of 106 to 107 cfu/10 larvae. The bacterial load in Artemia hatching water ranged from 4.90 × 104 to 5.63 × 106 cfu ml− 1 while Artemia had a load ranging from 1.08 × 107 to 2.09 × 109 cfu g− 1. Vibrio count in the LRT water ranged from 101-103 cfu ml− 1 while the count in larvae ranged from 102 to 104 cfu/10 larvae. The bacterial genera were predominantly Gram-negative and comprised of Aeromonas spp., Pseudomonas spp., Vibrio spp. and Bacillus spp. and non-spore formers (NSF) were the dominant Gram-positive bacteria. This study documents the bacterial flora associated with Macrobrachium hatchery system during a regular normal run. Knowledge of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of bacterial flora in the hatchery would help to understand disturbances, if any, brought about during disease outbreaks.  相似文献

Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), family Iridoviridae, genus Megalocytivirus, may cause high mortality rates such as those seen in mandarin fish, Siniperca chuatsi. ISKNV has attracted much attention due to the possible environmental threat and economic losses it poses on both cultured and wild populations. We have investigated the pathogenicity of ISKNV‐like agent Megalocytivirus, isolated from infected pearl gourami, in golden mandarin fish, Siniperca scherzeri – a member of the Percichthyidae family – and in another Percichthyidae species, S. chuatsi. Fish were challenged with four different doses of ISKNV‐like agent Megalocytivirus (1, 10, 100 or 1000 μg per fish) over a 30‐day period, and cumulative fish mortalities were calculated for each group. No significant mortality was observed for fish challenged with the lowest dose (1 μg per fish) relative to a control group. However, all other challenged groups showed 100% mortality over a 30‐day period in proportion to the challenge dose. Quantitative real‐time PCR was performed to measure mRNA expression levels for six immune‐related genes in golden mandarin fish following ISKNV‐like agent challenge. mRNA expression levels for IRF1, Mx, viperin and interleukin 8 significantly increased, while mRNA levels for IRF2 and IRF7 remained constant or declined during the challenge period.  相似文献

South African abalone, Haliotis midae, were exposed to air at 12 °C for 36 h to simulate the extent and rate mass loss experienced by animals during long distance live exports. Animals lost 15.1 ± 0.94% of their mass during the 36 h air exposure, an approximation of the highest mass losses sustained by industry.The total mass loss was attributed to water loss, as the contribution of dry mass to the total mass remained constant under all conditions. Water content decreased from 64.8% of the body mass (Mb) under control conditions to 58.8% Mb after 36 h in air. In real terms, however, animals had lost 22% of the body water pool.Abalone exhibited a typically high water turnover rate when in water (125 μL g− 1 h− 1), which decreased markedly during air exposure (2.2 μL g− 1 h− 1). Haemolymph volume decreased from 43% Mb in water to 14% Mb in air. The concomitant decrease in haemolymph pressure probably limited the first step in urine formation (ultra-filtration through the pericardium). Thus we observed that while urine flow represented about 26% of the total water loss when the animals were in water, urine flow ceased during air exposure.The decrease in haemolymph volume in air represents a redistribution of water to the tissues and not a bulk loss of haemolymph. This is supported by the concentration of haemolymph ions by a factor of 1.2 during aerial exposure, which was predicted based on the 22% decrease in water content. Under the same conditions, evaporation from water containers with similar surface to volume dimensions as abalone, accounted for only an 8.25% mass loss. As all other water loss routes were accounted for, we measured pedal mucus production rates of abalone in water and air. During 36 h aerial exposure, the pedal mucus production represented a loss of 6.8% Mb. We conclude that water loss during 36 h air exposure is attributable to evaporation (8.25% Mb) and pedal mucus production (6.8% Mb). This paves the way for directed research into mitigating water loss during the live export process.  相似文献
