Abstract. Hatchery-reared Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., parr (0+) ranging in length from 74 to 95 mm were sampled in a stream with no hatchery in its drainage area. No fish had previously been released in this stream. The parr, therefore, had migrated during a period when the salinity of the fjord was between 20 and 30·5%0 , a minimum distance of 2.7km through the fjord, which was the distance to the nearest hatchery. This is the first observation of pre-smolt migration between streams via a fjord. Earlier, the salmon in the river had been infected by the monogean Gyrodactylus salaris. Probably, this infection had been spread by parr migrating from a neighbouring stream through the fjord. Parasite dispersion coincided with a period of low fjordwater salinity (12—14.5%0 ) and sea temperatures ranging from 8.2 to 16.5°C, which is within the suggested tolerance level of G. salaris survival on salmon parr. 相似文献

Abstract. The infectivity of the bacterial fish pathogen Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida to Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., in sea water was investigated and found to be similar to that reported for fresh water. The minimal infective dose in short duration bath exposures (1–3 days) was 104 colony-forming units (cfu) per ml, while prolonged exposure for three weeks, but not for 1 week, produced infection with 102 cfu/ml. Intragastric intubation of A. salmonicida established infection with doses of >105 cfu. Release of bacteria from dead or morbid infected fish was monitored and found to be in the order of 105 –108 cfu/fish/h. These results emphasize the importance of removing dead fish from farm sites. 相似文献

Abstract Two groups of European catfish, Silurus glanis L., fingerlings were infected with channel catfish virus (CCV) by either intraperitoneal injection with 105 TCID50 of CCV, or bathing in water containing 105 TCID50 of CCV per 1·0 ml. The virus was isolated from spleen, intestine and brain of CCV-injected fish at day 1 and the titres ranged from 102·1 to 103·3 TCID50 /g. However, the tissue distribution of CCV was irregular and no virus was isolated after day 3 post-exposure. In CCV-bathed fish, the virus was isolated only from the liver of one specimen at day 3 post-exposure. No clinical signs of CCV disease developed in any of the fish. Specimens in each regime from all sampling periods showed some minor histopathological changes, but there were no differences between treatments. Lesions included oedema and focal haemorrhage in the liver and the spleen was congested. Electron micrographs of tissue samples showed the presence of a few virus particles around the nuclei of kidney, spleen and intestinal cells, and in or around a myelinated nerve within the optic lobes of infected fish during the first 4 days of infection. 相似文献

Abstract. Infectivity of Flexibator columnaris to loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus (Blecker, Günther), was studied with variation conditions and the presence of other bacteria in the water medium. Invasion of fish by the poathogen varied with different water conditions. The highest prevalence of infection was observed in an experimentally formulated water containing 0·03% NaCl 0·01% KCl, 0·002% CaCl2 2H2 O and 0·004% MgCI2 6H2 O. The percentage of infection in tap water was similar to that of the formulated water. The infeetion rate was low in the individual salt solutions, and no infection occurred in distilled water. Even in the formulated water, the pathogen failed to infect the fish when Citrobacter freundii, Aeromonas hydrophila or Pseudomonas fluorescens were present at densities 100 times that of F. columnaris. However, in such cases, the numbers of F. columnaris in the mucus of the fish body surface did not increase much throughout the experimental period. In contrast, F. columnaris suceessfully invaded the fish in the presence of either Streptococcus sp., Flavobacterium flavescens or Flavobacterium fuscum , even when the numbers of these bacteria were 1000 times that of F. columnaris. In this ease, F. columnaris gradually increased its numbers on the fish body surface. 相似文献

Abstract. A viral agent (13p2 ), isolated from clinically normal juvenile American oysters ( Crassostrea virginica ) and characterized as a new serotype of reovirus, was tested to determine if it could replicate and produce disease in experimental juvenile oysters. Because the virus replicated well in the bluegill fry (BF-2) fish cell line, fingerling bluegills Lepomis macrochirus were included in the pathogenicity experiments. Exposure of oysters to the 13p2 virus in ambient seawater resulted in no significant mortality and no increased virus titres or histological lesions. Virus particles were not observed in tissues of exposed oysters when examined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Intraperitoneal inoculation of the 13p2 virus into bluegills resulted in 44% mortality associated with a focal necrotic hepatitis. Evidence of virus replication, when evaluated histological or by virus titration, was observed in 94% of 32 inoculated fish. Samples of infected livers examined with TEM revealed typical cytoplasmic arrays of 13p2 virus particles in affected hepatocytes. Rising virus titres and hepatic lesions also occurred in bluegills exposed to water containing the 13p2 virus. These results indicated the natural host of the 13p2 virus was not the American oyster, but that it was a significant pathogen for at least one fish species. 相似文献

Abstract. Infection trials using two serotypes of VHS viruses (type 1 and 23/75) demonstrated that Atlantic salmon fry were susceptible to the disease when injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 103 pfu of virus/fish but resistant to infection by a bath method when exposed for 3 h in water containing 5 × 104 pfu of virus/ml. In the i.p.-infected fish, mortality reached 78 and 67% within 13 days with VHSV1 nad 23/75 serotypes, respectively. High virus yields were recovered from infected fish and virus shedding was demonstrated by the onset of VHS in rainbow trout kept in the outflow water from the aquaria containing infected salmon. Neither mortality nor virus shedding occurred in salmon infected by the water route but virus multiplication was demonstrated in 2 of 60 fish with VHSV1 and 3 of 60 fish with virus 23/75. On day 79 post-infection the sera from surviving salmon of both i.p. and bath infection trials exhibited good neutralizing titres (around 1000) against the homologous viruses. 相似文献

Abstract. Trophonts of Cryptocaryon irritans Brown from infected three-spot damselfish, Dascyllus trimaculatus Ruppell, were kept at temperatures ranging from 7 to 37°C to observe encystment and development of the tomites. At 30, 25 and 20°C, the percentage of trophonts that had encysted in 16 h were 70, 77 and 64% respectively; at 37°C, 44% encysted and at 7°C only 10% had encysted.
The optimum temperature for excystment was 30°C; 50% excysted in 5 days and 100% in 7 days. At 25°C, 60% of the tomites started to excyst on the eighth day, and 70% on the ninth day. At 20°C, 10% started to excyst on the ninth day, reaching 40% on the tenth day. No excystment occurred at 37 and 7°C.
Newly encysted tomonts were placed in various dilutions of sea water (31 %0 ) and kept at temperatures ranging from 7 to 37°C. Low salinities, i.e. 16%0 and lower caused tomonts to rupture. At 37, 20 and 7°C, 35% of the tomonts started to rupture immediately in 50% sea water, while at 30 and 25 C, 30% of the tomonts ruptured in 25% seawater. However, none of the cysts developed normally at these dilutions. The percentage rupturing increased with decreasing salinity. 相似文献

Abstract. Oxidation treatment of sugarmill waste using duckweed ( Lemna sp.) as part of the system, to reduce effluent nutrient concentrations and biological oxygen demand (BOD), was evaluated during a 6 month milling season in Negros Oriental, Philippines. Mean ammonia concentration in effluent water was reduced from 0·87 to 0·31 mg/l NH3 -N and orthophosphate from 0·93 to 0·51 mg/l P2 O5 , while mean BOD was reduced from 611 to 143mg/t BOD5 , after treatment. Seasonal mass fish kills in the adjoining bay no longer occurred during the 3 years following introduction of this treatment. The mean duckweed production (dry weight) was 8–8g/m2 /day. Duckweed was harvested from a 1·9ha area of the system and transferred to an adjacent milkfish, Chanos chanos Forskal, farm. Its fertilization effect, in terms of lablab production ( lablab is the biological complex of bluegreen algae, diatoms, bacteria and various animals which forms a mat at the bottom or floats in patches), was evaluated in the milkfish ponds. This was compared with ponds fertilized with either inorganic fertilizers or cow manure, in the traditional way. Lablab growth was significantly increased using duckweed, with ash-free dry weight production averaging 32g/m2 /day following fertilization with duckweed compared with 4g/m2 /day using inorganic fertilizers. Milkfish net production averaged 320 kg/ha/90-day crop in inorganically fertilized ponds. 545kg/ha/90-day crop for cow manure and 820kg/ha/90-day crop in duckweed-fertilized ponds. The system is described and the benefits of this integrated waste treatment-fish production facility are discussed. 相似文献

Abstract. Arctic charr. Salvelinus alpinus (L.), were fed a commercial diet with or without a supplement of 1% chromic oxide (Cr2 O3 ) in fresh water at 8°C for 70 days. Supplementation of the diet with 1% chromic oxide did not affect the lipid composition of stomach contents, but did affect that of the faeces.
Highest total lipid content in faeces was observed when fish were fed on the diet supplemented with chromic oxide. The proportion of triacylglycerols and free fatty acids increased in the neutral lipid fraction. The level of the dietary fatty acids 16:0, 16:1 and 18:1 increased, while 20:1 (n-9), 22:1 (n-11) and 18:2 (n-6) decreased significantly (P < 0·05) compared to the unsupplemented diet.
Total viable counts (TVC) of aerobic microorganisms were somewhat higher in stomach contents when the charr were fed on the unsupplemented diet. In faeces from charr fed the unsupplemented diet, TVC were higher, by a factor of 10 compared to fish fed diet supplemented with chromic oxide. Bacterial composition in stomach content of both rearing groups were dominated by Pseudomonas sp. and Agrobacterium sp., but the number of Lactobacillus sp. and Streptococcus sp. enhanced in stomach content when the fish were fed on the chromic oxide enriched diet. The faecal bacterial flora were also different between the rearing groups. The predominant bacterial species present in the faeces of fish fed unsupplemented diet were identified as Pseudomonas sp. and Aeromonas sp. Other bacterial species isolated included Lactobacillus sp., Streptococcus sp., Agrobacterium sp., Flavobacterium sp. and Vibrio sp. In contrast, the bacteria flora in faeces of fish fed the chromic oxide diet was dominated by the Gram-positive bacteria Streptococcus and Lactobacillus.
It is suggested that the use of chromic oxide as a marker in digestibility studies in Arctic charr may not be ideal. 相似文献

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary Chlorella powder (C) supplementation on growth performance, blood characteristics, and whole-body composition in juvenile Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus . Four experimental diets were supplemented with C at 0, 1, 2 and 4% (C0 , C1 , C2 , and C4 ) on a dry-weight basis. Three replicate groups of fish averaging 1.13 ± 0.02 g (Mean ± SD) were randomly distributed in each aquarium and fed one of four experimental diets for 12 wk. After 12 wk of the feeding trial, fish fed C2 diet had higher weight gain (WG), feed efficiency (FE), and protein efficiency ratio (PER) than did fish fed C0 and C1 diets ( P 0.05); however, there was no significant difference among fish fed C1 and C4 diets, and among fish fed C2 and C4 diets ( P > 0.05). Fish fed C2 and C4 diets had a lower serum cholesterol level than did fish fed C0 and C1 diets ( P 0.05). Fish fed C2 and C4 diets had a lower body fat than did fish fed C0 ( P 0.05). These results indicate that dietary supplementation of 2% Chlorella powder in the commercial diets could improve growth, feed utilization, serum cholesterol level, and whole-body fat contents in juvenile Japanese flounder. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to quantify the rate of nitrogen excretion by the cultured Japanese flounder as a function of body weight and water temperature. Measurements of the did rate of nitrogen excretion for the cultured flounder were made at mean water temperature of about 16, 19, and 23 C. The excretion rate of nilmgen was estimated by adding the nitrogen excreted in the forms of ammonia and urea nitrogens. The diurnal pattern in the excretion rate of nitrogen was governed mainly by the feeding time. The proportions of excreted ammonia to total nitrogen were 77.9% at 16 C, 84.5% at 19 C, and 83.2% at 23 C. The average was 81.9%. The relationship between the body weight and excretion rate of nitrogen ( EN , mg N/fish per h) is expressed as EN =α,.W', where α, = nitrogen excretion rate at temperature 0 . The parameter α, is dependent on water temperature, such that α, =α20 Q01 (0–200) where α20 = nitrogen excretion rate at 20 C, and Q01 , = temperature coefficient. The values of the kinetics parameters for the cultured flounder were found to be γ = 0.57, α20 = 0.060, and Q01 = 1.12. 相似文献

Abstract. Red porgies, Pagrus pagrus L., of 70g were reared under self-feeding conditions in six successive compartments of the same raceway and their biological performance was studied in relation to their positioning in the raceway and the quantity of water needed to produce 1kg of fish. Daily gain of biomass was found to be similar in the first four compartments, and began decreasing in the fifth and sixth. The critical water quantity, below which biological performance was impaired, was 400 m3 /kg of fish. No differences in mortality rate were observed between groups. The different biological performances were associated with the impaired feeding rates and conversion efficiency observed with groups A5 and A6 . Results are compared with those of other species and are discussed in relation to the importance of this species for fish culture and the most appropriate technology for its production. 相似文献

Abstract. Haplorchis pumilio (Looss, 1896) is a common digenean parasite of many species of fish of economic importance and has been found to infect cultured Sarotherodon spp. Fry of S. spilurus (Günther), S. mossambicus (Peters) and S. galilaea (L.) were experimentally infected with cercariae of H. pumilio from natural infections of Melanoides tuberculata (Müller) from an East African fish farm. Large numbers of cercariae were lethal to the fry within a few hours. Histopathological examination showed that the most significant pathological effect was focal haemorrhages in skeletal muscles in heavily infected fish. Migration of cercariae was through connective tissue and the final location of the metacercariae was connective tissue associated with skeletal structures. Clusters of cysts occurred at the bases of fins and in the loose connective tissue of the head, but the reaction to encysted metacercariae was insignificant. The overall effect on growth performance and thus economic importance of H. pumilio infection was assessed. Growth studies showed no significant differences between specific growth rate, food conversion ratios and condition of infected and uninfected fish. 相似文献

Abstract. Eimeria sp. infection of blue whiting, Micromesistius poutassou (Risso), taken to the north and west of Scotland, was investigated with particular reference to the effect on host condition. Eimeria sp. is a parasite of the liver parenchyma and causes extensive lesions. Juvenile blue whiting were not found to be infected before the late 1-group stage, but all 308 adult (3- to 17-group) fish examined were infected. Condition factor ( k = 100 w/l3 ) showed a statistically significant decrease with increasing intensity of infection. Average value of liver weight, expressed as a percentage of total body weight, also decreased with increasing intensity of infection. It is concluded that Eimeria sp. infection is a major factor contributing to loss of condition in blue whiting from the study area. The loss of weight in fish with moderate-to-heavy infections was estimated at from 6 to 10%; this figure does not take account of mortalities resulting from Eimeria infection nor does it take account of the most heavily infected fish which could not be included in the analysis because sufficiently accurate estimates of the large numbers of oocysts present were not made. 相似文献

Studies on the pathogenesis of vibriosis in coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum) 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Abstract. Juvenile coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum), cultured in fresh water, were experimentally infected with highly virulent Vibrio anguillarum , and various haematological and biochemical parameters were compared between moribund and non-infected control fish. In addition, endotoxin, culture supernatant, and cell lysate preparations of V. anguillarum were tested separately and in combination to assess their roles in mediating pathological effects.
The haematocrit, haemoglobin, numbers of red and white blood cells and plasma, total protein, albumin, β2 globulin, chloride, sodium, osmolality and alkaline phosphatase levels were all decreased in infected fish compared to controls. Erythrocyte fragility and plasma glucose, potassium, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) levels were increased in infected fish.
No mortality nor significant changes in haematocrit or plasma protein occurred in fish injected intraperitoneally with 35 mg/kg (1 mouse LD50 ) of V. anguillarum endotoxin, with culture supernatant fluid, cell lysate, or with combinations of the three preparations. There was, however, a decrease in plasma protein concentration in coho injected with 355 mg/kg (10 mouse LD50 s) of endotoxin, but no mortality nor significant change in haematocrit. 相似文献

Abstract. Electrophoretic analysis of six types of tissue (serum, erythrocyte, liver, kidney, muscle and eye) and seven different isoenzymes (LDH, MDH, Est, ADH, IDH, α-GPDH and SOD) from both healthy grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idellus Cuvier & Valenciennes, and carp affected by haemorrhagic disease was performed. It was found that: (1) Enzymes from diseased grass carp showed the most drastic changes within each tissue. The absolute activity of LDH in serum from the diseased fish increased to approximately twice that of the healthy fish; whereas the relative activity of A4 and A3 B1 , the main components of A sub-base in both serum and erythrocytes, was accelerated. (2) The isoenzymic changes in the control groups, diseased fish, artificially infected fish and healthy fish from diseased ponds indicated that biochemical changes occurred in the tissues before pathological change. 相似文献

Abstract. The morphometric relationships, standard length-weight, standard length-width and weight-width for Cichlasoma urophthalmus (Günther) in the weight range 0.78-262g were: log10 weight =−4.35 + 2.95 × (log10 standard length); log10 width =−0.73 + 0 99 × (log10 Standard length) and log10 width = 0.74 + 0.33 × (log10 , weight). Two box graders were designed and tested based on these data. The operation efficiency (expressed as a percentage of the sample used to test it) was 96.1 % and 95% for the two graders. Results indicated a tendency to undergrading (small fish detained by the bars) by the first grader and overgrading (large fish going between the bars) by the second, the latter as a result of the major variability in the body shape from fish as they grow. The results are satisfactory, and larger graders for commercial use could be constructed based on these relationships. 相似文献

The potential of waste date meal (WDM; low-quality date palm, Phoenix dactylifera L.) as a carbohydrate source in formulated diets for Nile tilapia was evaluated. Four isocaloric-practical diets (15.7 kJ g−1 ) were formulated incorporating WDM at 0, 100, 200 and 300 g kg−1 levels as partial substitutes for soybean meal (SBM). These were designated D0 [284 g crude protein (CP) and 383 g carbohydrate (CHO) kg−1 diet], D1 (279 g CP and 446 g CHO kg−1 diet), D2 (207 g CP and 495 g CHO kg−1 diet) and D3 (175 g CP and 578 g CHO kg−1 diet). Each diet was fed to three replicate groups of 30 fish [20.20 ± 0.09 g (±SE)] for 75 days. No feed-related mortality was observed during the entire experimental period. Final body weight (FBW) and specific growth rate (SGR) in the different treatments were statistically not significantly different ( P > 0.05). Protein efficiency rate (PER) was lowest in diet D0 and increased with decrease of SBM content (D1 –D3 ). A significant increase in whole body lipid content was recorded in fish fed diets D2 and D3 . Results showed that WDM could be a substitute for SBM up to 300 g kg−1 in practical Nile tilapia diets without compromising growth. 相似文献

Abstract – Migrating fish species with different swimming capacities and energy use show different capacities for passing obstacles between habitats, such as culverts and fish ladders. Here, we present an integrated study on swimming capacity and energetic use in seven European freshwater fish species with different ranges of migration (brown trout Salmo trutta L., European perch Perca fluviatilis L., roach Rutilus rutilus L., common carp Cyprinus carpio L., gudgeon Gobio gobio L., bullhead Cottus gobio L. and stone loach Barbatula barbatula L.). Critical ( U crit ), optimal ( U opt ) and maximum ( U max ) swimming speed and oxygen consumption ( M O2 ) were analysed and showed values correlated to migration capacity with highest swimming capacities in trout and roach and lowest in stone loach and bullhead. The resulting data can be used to make estimates of maximum passable water speeds in culverts. In conclusion, long-distance migrators show higher swimming capacities and can potentially clear obstacles easier than short distance migrators with lower swimming capacities. Even small obstacles (<25 cm) could be a barrier for genetic exchange between populations in short-distance migrators. 相似文献

In order to reduce the impact that trout farm effluent can have on receiving water, it imperative to reduce the overall phosphorus (P) loading of these effluents. In response, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) is issuing new effluent regulations for aquaculture. Therefore, efficient removal of P from effluent water is becoming increasingly important. The goal of this project was to determine the leaching rate of total and reactive P from trout feces under different water temperatures and water velocities immediately after evacuation. Scatter plots of the P load in the experimental containers over time were created for each fish/fecal sample and regression analysis was used to determine P leaching rates. Results from this study suggest that reactive phosphorus leaching rates are not affected by water velocities between 0.027 and 0.134 m/sec. However, at higher temperatures, reactive P leaches 1.92-mg PO4 /hr per g feces faster ( F 1.52 = 4.6445, P = 0.0358) than at lower temperatures. Mean reactive phosphorus leaching rates were 2.88 ± 0.704 and 0.96 ± 0.581mg PO4 /hr/g feces, for the high and low temperatures, respectively. On the other hand, total P does not appear to be affected by either water velocity or temperature. Mean total P leaching rate is 4.50 ± 1.053 mg PO4 /hr per g feces. This study suggests that removal time of feces from the system is critical in reducing the overall P load in effluent. 相似文献
