Induction of triploidy and tetraploidy was attempted in Heteropneustes fossilis using heat shock. The optimal age of zygote, temperature level and duration of thermal shock required for effective induction of triploidy and tetraploidy was investigated in a series of experiments. A maximum of 82±7% triploids (3n=87) were obtained when fertilized eggs (2.5‐min old) were heat shocked at 40°C for 4‐min duration. A maximum of 40±8% tetraploids (4n=116) was obtained when the fertilized eggs (30‐min old) were heat shocked at 40°C for 4‐min duration. The triploid and tetraploid red blood cells (RBCs) nucleus volumes were 1.4 and 2.1 times greater, respectively, than that of the diploid RBC nucleus.  相似文献

Tetraploid induction has been conducted on temperate oysters but not on tropical oysters. In this study, different heat shocks (32, 35 and 38°C) and cold shocks (1, 4 and 7°C) were used to induce tetraploidy in two tropical oyster species, Crassostrea belcheri and Crassostrea iredalei, through meiosis I inhibition. Temperature shocks were applied on the newly fertilized eggs at 8–10 min post fertilization and terminated when second polar bodies began to form in the control eggs. The ploidy of the larvae and spat was determined via direct chromosome count. The percentage of larval survival until Day 20 was low (between 0.4% and 42.9%) for both temperature shocks and oyster species. No surviving larva was recorded for induction at 1, 4 and 38°C. Tetraploid spat was only recorded in C. iredalei but the percentage is low through heat shock induction of 32 and 35°C. This study shows that the tetraploid induction success rate was slightly higher in C. iredalei compared to C. belcheri. No surviving tetraploid spat were recorded for both oyster species through the cold shock method. This study shows that heat shock can be used to inhibit meiosis for the production of tetraploids but more experiments need to be conducted to determine the optimum temperature when dealing with tropical oysters.  相似文献

The effects of thermal treatments on induction of triploidy in Atlantic cod have been investigated. Cold shock [−1.7±0.1°C at 20 min post fertilization (PF) for 2 h] was based on a previously developed protocol, and heat shocks, below the lethal threshold of 24°C, were at 16, 18 or 20°C applied 20, 30 or 40 min PF for 20 min. Cold shock did not affect larval survival and was ineffective for producing triploids (range 0–4%). A heat shock of 20°C at 20 min PF generated the highest percentages (range 66–100%) of triploid larvae at hatching, with survival ranging from 10% to 20% relative to the controls. Lower heat shock temperatures or delayed shocks increased survival but decreased the number of triploids, providing no net gain in triploid yield (range 1–9%). Heat shocks applied later than 20 min PF produced 2–4% tetraploid larvae at hatching. A thermal shock of 20°C initiated at 20 min PF and lasting 20 min proved to be the most generally efficient treatment for induction of triploidy in Atlantic cod.  相似文献

Outbreaks of multidrug-resistant pathogens have been constraint on aquaculture production in Thailand, thereby controlling shrimp pathogens by preventive probiotics being importance to sustain the aquaculture system. In this study, the effect of potential probiotics, Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus sp. was related to growth, digestive enzyme activities (trypsin and chymotrypsin) and pathogenic resistance by postlarval black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). The experiment was divided into two treatments, in triplicate, with and without supplementation of probiotics as a food additive. Shrimp fed with probiotics for a culture period of 84 days showed a significant increase (P < 0.05) in weight (2.03 ± 0.29 g) and survival (71.91 ± 3.15 %) in comparison with non-treated shrimp (1.53 ± 0.28 g and 65.20 ± 5.68 %, respectively). Trypsin activity of treated shrimp was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of control shrimp whereas chymotrypsin activities of the two treatments were not significantly different (P > 0.05). After challenging P. monodon postlarvae with a shrimp pathogen, Vibrio harveyi for 10 days, percentage of mortality of P. monodon postlarvae fed with probiotics was 46.67 ± 1.44 %, significantly lower (P < 0.05) than that of non-treated shrimp (61.67 ± 6.29 %). This study showed that potential probiotics was appropriate for application in P. monodon postlarvae cultivation under laboratory condition due to improvement of shrimp weight and survival, enhancement of trypsin activity and reduced mortality causing by pathogenic V. harveyi. This is the first publication reported the effect of probiotics on trypsin and chymotrypsin activities of P. monodon postlarvae.  相似文献

Biological characteristics and culture methods were investigated for the spot prawn, Pandalus platyceros Brandt. Ovigerous adults were caught in the local fishery; six of these produced 2 628 to 4 669 larvae. The larval period ranged from 26 to 35 days (9.5–12.0°C). Maximum larval survival was about 70%, with mortalities being most frequent during ecdysis. The relation of wet weight (g) to carapace length (mm) for the first 26 months was calculated as log W = ?3.0843 + 2.9308 log L. Prawns showed good survival between 9.5 and 21.0°C. Mortality increased sharply when temperatures exceeded 21.0°C. Salinities below 22‰ resulted in a sharp increase in mortality.A diet of brine shrimp nauplii sufficed for newly hatched larvae. Growth was enhanced when larvae were fed a unicellular algal supplement (Phaeodactylum tricornutum), although mortality was somewhat higher. Larvae progressed rapidly to foraging on larger brine shrimp and diced foods. Six-month-old spot prawns raised on a squid diet averaged 3.4 g, and at 1 year the mean weight was 6.3 g. A feeding experiment, incorporating 12 diets, disclosed that highest growth rates and best food conversion ratios were achieved on a combined California seamussel and giant red sea urchin diet. However, the best growth rate achieved was considered marginal for mariculture.It was concluded that unless the growth rate could be accelerated by other food formulations or culture techniques, a monoculture system for mass cultivation would not be feasible. The spot prawn may have potential in a polyculture system.  相似文献

Nauplii hatching from Artemia cysts are crucial in larviculture nutrition. Artemia cysts may be exposed to repeated hydration/dehydration (H/D) cycles pre-harvesting or during processing and storage. To observe the effect of these cycles on cyst quality, Artemia franciscana cysts were exposed to a comprehensive set of various H/D treatments, differing in the number of cycles (1, 2, or 3) and the duration of the freshwater hydration period (2 or 4 h). Cyst quality was assessed using the criteria of immediate relevance for aquaculture use, such as hatching percentage directly after H/D treatment and after ?18 °C storage up to 1 month, longevity of axenically hatched starved nauplii, cyst and naupliar energy content, and (for the most extreme H/D treatment) cyst and naupliar fatty acid and vitamin C content. Repeated H/D cycles resulted in significantly (P < 0.05) decreased cyst hatching, reduced starved naupliar longevity and individual energy content, loss in vitamin C and fatty acid content, and moreover a close correlation between these parameters as a function of progressive H/D treatments. This is of immediate relevance for aquaculture nutrition, as commercial Artemia cysts may have gone through an unknown sequence of H/D cycles in nature or in the processing line, which affects the nutritional quality of the nauplii used in larviculture operations.  相似文献

Tetraploid fish, which are considered as key resources of diploid gametes for further breeding and ploidy manipulation, can be artificially induced by inhibition of the mitotic cell division with hydrostatic pressure or temperature treatments. Although many attempts have been made to induce artificial tetraploid strains, successful establishment of viable and fertile tetraploid strains are rare. In pond loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, natural tetraploid individuals are distributed in wild populations and diploid gametes from the tetraploid fish have been used for the induction of polyploid individuals, but artificially induced tetraploid strains have not been established yet. In the present study, we optimised starting timing of the heat-shock treatment (41 °C for 2 min) to inhibit a mitotic cell division in fertilised eggs of the normal diploid pond loach between 21 and 51 min after insemination at 20 °C. After the treatment, we observed external appearance of hatching larvae and flow cytometrically determined ploidy status of the resultant larvae. Although tetraploid and diploid/tetraploid mosaic larvae were obtained, the optimum timings for induction of tetraploidy varied amongst crosses. Various kinds of ploidy such as haploidy, diploidy, triploidy, pentaploidy, hexaploidy, aneuploidy and mosaic were detected in non-optimum heat-shock timings for tetraploidisation. Survivors, a tetraploid and a diploid/tetraploid mosaic male, matured at the age of 1-year-old, but they produced functional haploid spermatozoa.  相似文献

Pseudodiaptomus species are major live feeds for the early stages of economically important marine fish in hatcheries in the South China Sea. However, we know little about the combined effects of multiple environmental parameters such as salinity and temperature on copepod productivity. To address the issue, we cultured a tropical coastal copepod Pseudodiaptomus incisus in one of 24 combinations of 8 salinities (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 ppt) and 3 temperatures (26, 30 and 34°C). We determined development, biomass of all stages, fecundity, percentage of females with hatched eggs and 30 hr nauplii production. Overall, the biomass, fecundity and nauplii production of P. incisus were highest at the salinity of 15–20 ppt, especially at 26°C. P. incisus showed a lower performance at both lower and higher salinities. Elevated temperatures resulted in faster development, but lower biomass, fecundity and nauplii production. Especially, nauplii production was reduced by 74% at 35–40 ppt and 34°C compared to at 15–20 ppt and 26°C. Our study provides essential information for optimizing the biomass culture of P. incisus.  相似文献

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5HT) has been reported to induce ovarian maturation and spawning in the crayfish Procambarus clarkii and white Pacific shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. The aim of this study was to explore the role of exogenous 5HT on the reproductive performance of the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon. 5HT solution was injected into domesticated P. monodon broodstock at 50 μg/g body weight and ovarian maturation and spawning were recorded. The presence of 5HT in the ovary and oviduct of P. monodon was also studied by immunohistochemistry and its levels in the ovary by enzyme link immunoabsorbance assay (ELISA). The 5HT-injected P. monodon developed ovarian maturation and spawning rate at the level comparable to that of unilateral eyestalk-ablated shrimp. Hatching rate and the amount of nauplii produced per spawner were also significantly higher in the 5HT-injected shrimp, compared to the eyestalk-ablated shrimp. 5HT-positive reactions were found in the follicular cells of pre-vitellogenic oocytes, in the cytoplasm of early vitellogenic oocytes and on the cell membrane and cytoplasm of late vitellogenic oocytes. 5HT in the ovary was present at 3.53 ± 0.26 ng/mg protein level in previtellogenic stage and increased to 17.03 ± 0.57 ng/mg protein level in the mature stage of the ovary. The results suggest a significant role of 5HT, possibly directly on the ovary and oviduct, on the reproductive function of female P. monodon.  相似文献

Heat shock was applied to fertilized eggs of European catfish, Silurus glanis L., for the induction of triploidy. A heat shock of 40. 5°C lasting 1 min and starting 9 min after gamete activation gave the best results with 88.93% of hatched viable fry (92.41% in control group). Yields of hatched viable triploid fry reached 63.14% or 50.60%, when expressed as percentage of the absolute number of viable fry or number of living eggs in eye-bud stage, respectively (P < 0.05).  相似文献

Thirty replicates of San Francisco Bay brine shrimp Artemia sp. cysts from one lot were weighed to 0·01 mg. The mean mass of a single cyst was 2·597 μg (±0·040 μg, 95% confidence level). Batches of 1 g from the same lot were hatched in the laboratory, and fraction hatched versus time data were fitted to a nonlinear curve using PROBIT analysis. Median time of hatch was 24·8 h with a standard error of ±3·92 h. Cysts and nauplii in 1-ml aliquots were pipetted at regular intervals and counted under a dissecting microscope. The number of cysts pipetted at the beginning of the experiment was 19% less than estimates based on the known number per volume of hatching medium, indicating that hatching data derived from pipetting procedures may contain large sampling errors. PROBIT analysis allows fraction hatched to be predicted when a particular lot of cysts is hatched under controlled conditions.  相似文献

The effects of several food items on larvae production and survival ofthe mysid Mysidopsis almyra were compared. A total of sixdiets were used. The diets were: 1) phytoplankton (Isochrysisgalbana), 2) an artificial diet (Liqualife®, Cargill,Minneapolis, MN), 3) a mixed diet composed of both zooplankton (mostlycopepods)and phytoplankton, 4) 750 mg g?1 of HUFA enrichedArtemia nauplii and 250 mgg?1 of the artificial diet, 5) newly hatchedArtemia nauplii (24-hour incubation at 28°C) and 6) newly hatched Artemia naupliienriched with HUFA (SELCO®, INVE Inc., Ghent, Belgium) for 12 hours. Mysidsfed HUFA enriched Artemia nauplii (diet 6) had the highestproduction and survival rates, although not significant (P > 0.05), comparedto diets 3, 4 and 5, while the phytoplankton and the artificial diet hadsignificantly lower production and survival rates (p > 0.05).  相似文献

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of a hot water extract of brown seaweeds Sargassum duplicatum and Sargassum wightii on the growth and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) resistance in shrimp Penaeus monodon postlarvae (PL). Artemia nauplii (instar II) were enriched with both seaweed extracts at various concentrations (250, 500 and 750 mg L?1) and fed to the respective P. monodon (PL15–35) group for 20 days. A control group was also maintained without seaweed extract supplementation. The weight gain of the experimental groups was significantly higher (0.274–0.323 g) than the control group (0.261 g). Similarly, the specific growth rate was also significantly higher (16.27–17.06%) in the experimental groups than in the control group (16.03%). After 20 days of the feeding experiment, the shrimp PL were challenged with WSSV for 21 days. During the challenge test, the control shrimp displayed 100% mortality within 8 days. In contrast, the mortality percentage of the highest concentration (750 mg L?1) of seaweed extract enriched Artemia nauplii fed shrimp was 54–79%. Comparatively, low mortality was observed in S. wightii extract‐enriched Artemia nauplii fed shrimp. The polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated the concentration‐dependent infection of WSSV in P. monodon PL.  相似文献

The ability of domesticated Penaeus monodon, Black Tiger shrimp, to spawn following tail‐muscle injection of dsRNA was examined. Ablated domesticated female broodstock infected subclinically with gill‐associated virus (GAV) were injected with saline or a cocktail of five‐dsRNAs targeting different regions in the GAV ORF1a/1b gene. To track changes in GAV infection loads, TaqMan real‐time PCR was used to quantify mean viral RNA amounts in each of three pleopod clips collected at the time of injection (Day 0) and either immediately after a female spawned or on Day 11 when the trial was terminated. Over the trial, 4 of 19 (21%) saline‐injected shrimp spawned and 12 of 25 (48%) dsRNA‐injected shrimp spawned, with one spawning twice. Egg numbers varied from 25 600 to 459 800 for the saline‐injected shrimp and from 4900 to 213 900 for the dsRNA‐injected shrimp. Of these, one of the four egg batches hatched from saline‐injected shrimp and 9 of the 13 egg batches hatched from dsRNA‐injected shrimp. While variable, egg numbers and hatch rates recorded were typical of those obtained from domesticated broodstock at the commercial hatchery and particularly among females previously spawned. Mean GAV RNA amounts detected in pleopod samples increased in five of the eight saline‐injected shrimp tested by 1.6–227.4‐fold and decreased in 12 of the 15 ds‐RNA‐injected shrimp tested by ?1.1 to ?45.1‐fold. The study demonstrated that tail‐muscle injection of GAV‐specific dsRNA does not adversely impact the ability of P. monodon to spawn.  相似文献

The goal of this study is to develop a larviculture protocol for Mithraculus forceps, a popular marine aquarium species. Different temperatures (25±0.5°C and 28±0.5°C), stocking densities (10, 20, 40 and 80 larvae L?1), prey densities (newly hatched Artemia of 1, 4, 7 and 12 nauplii mL?1) and metamorphosis to crab conditions (Systems A and B) were tested. The best survivorship and faster development were obtained when the larvae were reared at a density of 40 larvae L?1 for 7 days post hatching (DPH) in System A, at 28°C and fed with 7 mL?1 of newly hatched Artemia nauplii. After 7 DPH all the megalopa were moved to System B and the same temperature and prey density were maintained. At the end of the experiment, 12 DPH, survivorship of 74.1±4.8% was obtained.  相似文献

Production of sterile triploid red tilapia [Oreochromis mossambicus (Mozambique tilapia); Peters, 1852 × Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia); Linnaeus, 1758] is an effective strategy to overcome their prolific breeding. Optimal conditions for cold-shock induction of triploidy in red tilapia were investigated by experimentally examining two variables: appropriate temperature of the shock and duration of shock treatment. A constant time after insemination of 4 min was used to determine the best combination of temperature (6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15 °C) with different durations of shock (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 min) with resultant ploidy level verified karyotypically. Shock duration for 30 min at a temperature of 9 °C was found most effective in producing maximum triploidy (98.7 %) with higher rates of hatching (63.2 %) and survival up to yolk-sac stage (75.8 %). The chromosome count confirmed that triploid percentages were higher when cold shock was used for longer durations at each temperature; however, hatching rates were generally decreased. The maximum triploid yield (82.1 %) obtained was higher than the yield obtained using heat shock (72.7 %) in red tilapia previously. The application of the results of this study has the potential to greatly improve the production of triploid red tilapia in commercial aquaculture.  相似文献

A laboratory study was conducted to examine the effects of food level and water temperature on the ingestion rate in the larvae of the peppermint shrimp Lysmata wurdemanni , a popular aquarium spe cies. Artemia nauplii were used as the food item. Number of newly hatched Artemia nauplii consumed by the larvae (from zoea II to zoea VII, zoea I can metamorphose to zoea II without exogenous nutrition in about one day) was measured daily at four food concentrations (2, 5, 10 and 20 Artemia nauplii/mL) and two temperature levels (25 C and 28 C). The experiment was conducted in 500-mL beakers with three replicates for each treatment. The results show that the shrimp consumed significantly more food at 28 C than at 25 C (P < 0.01). Ingestion rate increased with increasing food concentration in all larval stages and with larval development except for the lowest food level ( 2 Artemia nauplii/mL) where insufficient food supply limited the ingestion rate to around 35 Artemia nauplii/ larva per d after zoea IV stage. The larval development rate was significantly lower (P < 0.05) in the shrimp subjected to the two lowest food concentrations (2 and 5 Artemia nauplii/mL) in the 500-mL beakers. But in a separate experiment conducted in the 1,400-mL beakers, the results were reversed: both survivorship and development rate were significantly lower at the two higher food levels (6 and 12 nauplii/mL) than those at 3 nauplii/mL level. During molting period, ingestion rate decreased significantly, followed by a sharp rise to the normal rate the following day.  相似文献

The traditional procedure for chitosan production involves use of a strong acid (HCl) for demineralization of chitin. This study reports application of a mixed culture of lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Lactobacillus lactis) fermentation in demineralization of chitin for chitosan production from shrimp waste. Chitosan produced from shrimp waste with lactic acid bacteria fermentation at 30°C for 72 h or 1 M lactic acid treatment at room temperature for 2 h followed by alkaline treatments (0.5 M NaOH at 25°C for 4 h followed by 12.5 M NaOH at 70°C for 10 h) contained very low protein (0.8–1.1%) and ash (<0.01%) contents with the same solubility (100%) as those of chitosan produced with hydrochloric acid treatment. Lactic acid bacteria fermentation and lactic acid treatment may be utilized in chitosan production from shrimp waste to reduce use of strong chemicals.  相似文献

Freshly-hatched Artemia nauplii from various geographical sources survived storage in a refrigerator (2–4°C) at densities of 2000 per ml and above. Except for Artemia from Chaplin Lake and Buenos Aires, naupliar viability was very high even after 48 h storage, and did not decrease significantly after a 24 h post-storage transfer to 25°C. Neither the naupliar dry weight nor biochemical composition changed significantly during refrigeration for most strains tested. Comparative culture-tests with stored and freshly-hatched nauplii as food for juvenile marine mysids Mysidopsis bahia M. and larval carp Cyprinus carpio L. revealed similar production performances.  相似文献
