分别以2010年通过2个野生个体进行交配获得的A01全同胞家系和2011年通过A01家系子代进行交配获得A02全同胞家系为亲本,在2013年6月采用同时建立全同胞交配子一代F1(F=0.250)、全同胞交配子二代F2(F=0.375)及设置对照组(F=0)的方法,研究在相同环境条件下,不同实验组的受精率与孵化率以及近交对长牡蛎幼虫期、稚贝期生长和存活的影响,并初步探讨近交代数与近交衰退的关系。结果发现,各组的受精率均在90%以上,除F2组外其余2组的孵化率也在90%以上;幼虫阶段,F1组和F2组的壳高与壳长均从12日龄出现衰退(近交衰退系数,inbreeding depression coefficient,IDC0),且F2组壳高的近交衰退系数均小于同日龄F1组壳高的近交衰退系数;F1组和F2组的存活率在整个幼虫期间均出现衰退,且F1组和F2组存活率的近交衰退系数均随着幼虫日龄的增加而逐渐减小。稚贝阶段,F1组和F2组的平均壳高在各日龄均表现出近交衰退(IDC0),且F2组壳高的近交衰退系数均小于相同日龄F1组壳高的近交衰退系数;3个实验组的平均壳长在整个稚贝阶段无显著性差异;F1组和F2组存活率的衰退在不同日龄始终存在(IDC0),且随着稚贝日龄的增加其衰退程度逐渐加大。研究结果为长牡蛎选择育种和遗传改良提供了基础资料。  相似文献

Molecular markers have significant potential for use in precise breeding programmes in aquaculture. This paper reviews the use of DNA markers to estimate inbreeding depression and heterosis in the guppy Poecilia reticulata. Full‐sib matings revealed that inbreeding causes declines in survival and salinity tolerance, but not in undwarfism, growth and high water temperature tolerance, indicating the effects of inbreeding differ among fitness‐related traits. Salinity tolerance was used to quantify the level of inbreeding depression and heterosis because the trait is strongly sensitive to inbreeding and shows a linear decrease with an increase in inbreeding coefficient. A positive correlation was observed between heterozygosity at microsatellite loci and salinity tolerance among 17 guppy populations. This indicates that heterozygosity estimated from microsatellites is a useful indicator for the estimation of inbreeding depression, suggesting that overall heterozygosity is important for fitness‐related traits that show inbreeding depression. Use of DNA markers to estimate the amount of heterosis in various strain combinations was examined using diallele and reciprocal crosses among four domestic strains. The amount of heterosis differed among the strain combinations and correlated with Nei's genetic distance measured by microsatellites and also by dissimilarity using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. This indicates that microsatellite and RAPD markers are useful for estimating the amount of heterosis in various strain combinations, further suggesting that the amount of heterosis depends on the genetic differences between the strains. The present study showed that DNA markers are useful tools for estimating inbreeding depression and heterosis in guppy breeding.  相似文献

In animal breeding programs, selection coupled with a narrow genetic base can cause high levels of inbreeding to occur rapidly (in one or two generations). Although the effects of inbreeding have been studied extensively in terrestrial animals and to a lesser extent in aquaculture species, little is known about the effects of inbreeding on penaeid shrimp. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of inbreeding on hatchery and growout performance of the Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei. The experiment was conducted over 2 yr, and data from two successive generations (G2 and G3) of inbred (sibling–sibling mating) and outbred families were analyzed. There were 11 inbred and 12 outbred families in G2 and 9 inbred and 10 outbred families in G3. Inbreeding coefficients (F) for outbred and inbred families were 0.00 and 0.25, respectively, for G2 and 0.00 and 0.375, respectively, for G3. Growth rates for outbreds and inbreds were similar in both G2 and G3. Hatch rate for inbred families was 33.1% lower than for outbred families in G2 and 47.1% lower in G3. Inbreeding depression (IBD) (relative change in phenotype per 0.1 increase in F) ± 95% CI for hatch rate was ?12.3 ± 10.1%. Hatchery survival for inbred families was 31.4% lower than for outbred families in G2 and 38.8% lower in G3. IBD for hatchery survival was ?11.0 ± 5.7%. Growout survival was 1.9% lower for inbred families than for outbred families in G2 and 19.6% lower in G3. IBD for growout survival was ?3.8 ± 2.9%. There was also a significant linear relationship between IBD estimates for survival traits and mean outbred survival. At high outbred survival, IBD was low (e.g., growout survival in G2), but IBD appeared to become more severe when outbred survival was lower. This suggests that stress (related to environment and/or life stage) may worsen IBD for survival traits. Results also indicate that moderate to high levels of inbreeding (>10%) should be avoided in commercial shrimp hatcheries because the cumulative effect of IBD on hatch rate and hatchery survival will significantly reduce postlarvae production. Thus, IBD can be significant enough to justify the use of inbreeding as a germplasm protection strategy (under certain scenarios) for genetic improvement programs.  相似文献

Three retinol acetate (vitamin A)‐supplemented diets containing 0, 5,000, 10,000 IU kg?1 diet (in dry weight) were fed twice daily to triplicate groups (50 fish/group) of Caspian roach (Rutilus caspicus) (1.91 ± 0.07 g) for 40 days. At the end of feeding trial, skin mucus antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus faecium, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli as well as soluble protein level, growth performance and haematological parameters was evaluated. Growth performance including final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate and food conservation ratio as well as the survival rate showed no significant differences between vitamin A‐supplemented diets and control groups (p > .05). The results revealed that the administration of 10,000 IU vitamin A kg?1 significantly increased skin mucus antibacterial activity (p < .05). Furthermore, the soluble protein level of skin mucus was found to be significantly elevated in roach fed diet containing 10,000 IU vitamin A kg?1 (p < .05). Evaluation of haematological parameters revealed no significant difference (p > .05), except white blood cell counts that were significantly higher in vitamin A‐fed roach (p < .05). The results of the present study indicate that dietary vitamin A can modulate mucosal immune response of Caspian roach.  相似文献

Hybrid seabream (Pagrus major♀ × Acanthopagrus schlegelii♂) grow quickly, with retarded gonadal growth and enhanced muscle nutritional composition. This F1 hybrid seabream is a new marine aquaculture fish in China. However, the response of hybrid seabream to transport is severe, which seriously restricts its promotion and development. Water quality and the physiological response of hybrid sea bream were studied at three fish transport densities (5, 10 and 20 g/L) during 8 hr of transport in a light van (60 km hr?1 and 25°C water temperature). We found that total ammonia–nitrogen and nitrite–nitrogen levels in the water of the highest density group increased sharply after 4 and 8 hr of transport. Cumulative survival of the fish in the 10 and 20 g/L groups (86.7% and 75% respectively) was significantly lower than in the 5 g/L group (100%) after 8 hr of transport (p < .05). Serum cortisol and lactate levels were significantly higher after transport than pre‐stress levels, whereas the glucose level decreased significantly (p < .05). Hepatic triglyceride and glycogen levels and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were significantly lower in the 20 g/L group than in the 5 g/L group (p < .05). The results show that high‐density transport increased ammonia–nitrogen and nitrite–nitrogen levels in the water as well as cortisol secretion and anaerobic metabolism in the F1 hybrid seabream, suggesting that total cholesterol and glycogen may be used to supply the energy demand and increased oxidative stress. These results will help to optimize the transport conditions for cultured hybrid seabream.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for spawning traits and growth traits in a breeding line of Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei, selected for growth and survival. Traits studied were number of eggs (NE) and number of nauplii (NN) and female body weight at insemination (FWI) and body weight at 130 days of age (BW130). Genetic parameters were estimated using a multivariate animal model. Heritability for NE and NN were estimated as 0.13 ± 0.04 and 0.03 ± 0.04 respectively. The contribution to NN total variation due to ‘factors associated with male’ effect was estimated as 0.47 ± 0.07. In the cases of FWI and BW130, heritability was estimated as 0.44 ± 0.08 and 0.19 ± 0.03 respectively. Genetic correlation between FWI and NE was estimated as 0.49 ± 0.15, between FWI and NN as 0.54 ± 0.39 and between NE and NN as 0.27 ± 0.41, whereas the genetic correlations of FWI, NE and NN with BW130 were 0.30 ± 0.13, ?0.21 ± 0.19 and ?0.25 ± 0.38 respectively. Although it is important to perform more studies on this issue, our results found no evidence of a genetic antagonistic effect between female reproductive traits and body weight at harvesting (130 days of age) in P. vannamei.  相似文献

ABSTRACT:   'Inbreeding depression' may be an avoidable phenomenon for abalone culture. However, only a few studies have been carried out on inbreeding depression. In the present study, using six families produced in 1994, a factorial mating system including inbreeding and outbreeding was constructed in order to demonstrate inbreeding depression traits of the Pacific abalone. In total, 24 inbreeding and 21 outbreeding crosses were produced during three years (1999–2001) and these offspring were reared for approximately one year. Significant differences in fertilization rate and growth were not observed between inbreeding and outbreeding crosses. However, the deformity rate of veliger larvae was always higher in inbreeding crosses than that of outbreeding crosses in all experiments. Moreover, a significantly high deformity rate was observed in some full-sib families of inbreeding. Alternatively, the survival rates of inbreeding crosses were much lower than for outbreeding crosses after about 4 months and one year in two rearing localities. These results indicate that inbreeding depression is observed in the traits of deformity rate and survival, but not in fertilization rate nor growth in the first generation of a full-sib family of the Pacific abalone.  相似文献

An 8‐week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin E on growth performance and antioxidant status of juvenile snakehead. The snakeheads (20.47 ± 0.06 g) were fed with five isonitrogenous and isoenergetic experimental diets that contained 13 (the basal diet), 52, 79, 168 and 326 mg of vitamin E kg?1, respectively. The maximum specific growth rate (SGR) and feed intake (FI) were achieved in fish fed on a diet with 79 mg kg?1 vitamin E (p < .05). No significant differences were found in protein efficiency ratio (PER), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and survival of fish among all groups (p > .05). Vitamin E supplementation improved hepatic glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity significantly. A consistent decline in the hepatic and serum malondialdehyde (MDA) content was observed in fish fed diets with the increased supplementation of vitamin E (p < .05). In addition, with the increasing level of vitamin E, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were reduced (p < .05). However, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities were enhanced in fish fed 79 mg vitamin E kg?1 diet and then decreased significantly as the content of vitamin E in the diet increased (p < .05). Meanwhile, serum albumin (ALB) and globulin (GLB) were not affected by the supplemental levels of dietary vitamin E (p > .05). The vitamin E concentrations in liver and serum increased significantly with increasing dietary vitamin E (p < .05). Based on the broken‐line regression of SGR, vitamin E level in the diet is estimated to be 80.5 mg kg?1 for Channa argus × Channa maculata. In conclusion, this study indicated that the dietary appropriate vitamin E could enhance the growth performance, antioxidant status and non‐specific immune response.  相似文献

A 70‐day feeding experiment was conducted to assess the effects of α‐ketoglutarate (AKG) supplementation in different protein sources of diets on the growth performance, nitrogen metabolism and related gene expression of mirror carp. Two kinds of protein diets (soybean meal protein source and fish meal and soybean meal compound protein source) and two levels of AKG (0 g kg?1 and 15 g kg?1, respectively) were utilized. Each experimental diet was fed three times a day with five replicates of 20 fish per tank with an average individual weight of 217.93 ± 0.78 g. The results indicated that AKG significantly improved the protein efficiency ratio and decreased the feed conversion rate (FCR) (p < .05). Soybean protein significantly decreased the weight gain rate and increased the FCR (p < .05). In addition, diets with AKG significantly improved the concentration of glutamine and glutamic acid (Glu) in the foregut and hindgut (p < .05), as well as the glutamine synthetase (GS) activity in the foregut (p < .05). Soybean protein significantly decreased the concentration of Glu and GS activity in the hindgut (p < .05). AKG significantly improved the contents of threonine, alanine, proline and essential amino acid in muscle (p < .05). Dietary supplementation with AKG significantly improved GS gene expression in the intestine and reduced Rhesus glycoprotein (Rhag and Rhbg) gene expression in the gill (p < .05). From the results, we know that a diet with AKG is beneficial for the growth and amino acid metabolism of carp.  相似文献

因大多数野生物种的捕捞已接近甚至超过了可开发的限度,因此必须大量增加水产品的养殖以满足人们对水产品的需要。目前,许多水产养殖种类的苗种来源于野生亲体或野生种苗,但是当野生种群被过度捕捞或数量大量减少时,越来越多的苗种将来源于人工蓄养的亲体群体。  相似文献

过量的捕捞和不合理的人工育种措施,使中国对虾野生和养殖群体的遗传多样性均遭到不同程度的降低。本试验在相似的环境条件下养殖了40个野生对虾产生的家系和3个兄妹交产生的家系,定量测定了平均体重(1.43~1.58) g 1 460尾中国对虾早期体重和感染白斑综合征病毒（WSSV）后存活时间的近交衰退系数。结果显示,野生对虾家系组的平均体重和平均存活时间分别为(1.58±0.01) g和(100.43±0.68) h,而兄妹交家系组平均体重和平均存活时间分别是(1.43±0.04) g和(85.84±1.70) h,平均体重和平均存活时间在两组间均存在极显著差异（P<0.01）。野生对虾家系组体重和存活时间的表型相关系数为0.16±0.00,而兄妹交家系组两者间的表型相关系数为0.20±0.00,但是两组间表型相关系数差异不显著（P>0.05）。近交系数每增加10％,体重和感染WSSV后存活时间分别衰退-3.80%±0.17%和-5.81%±0.11%,与近交能够降低生长和疾病抗性的观点相一致。实验结果表明,在选择育种和种质资源保护过程中都应该保证基础群体遗传背景最大化,从而有效控制近交。图0表2参39  相似文献

Five semi‐purified diets were formulated to contain graded levels of dietary protein (340, 390, 440, 490 and 540 g/kg diet), and each diet was assigned to triplicate groups of eight juvenile Dabry's sturgeon for 50 days. Results showed that specific growth rate increased linearly with increasing dietary protein levels from 340 to 440 g/kg diet, then levelled off at higher protein levels. Higher dietary protein (440 and 540 g/kg) significantly increased the feed intake and feed efficiency ratio of fish compared to lower protein diets (340 to 490 g/kg diet) (p < .05). Fish fed a 440 g protein kg?1 diet had higher protein efficiency ratio and serum lysozyme activity than other treatments. Serum ammonia content and activities of liver aminotransferase were positively correlated with dietary protein levels. No significant difference (p > .05) among groups was observed in glycogen content. As dietary protein level increased, protein and ash content of fish dorsal muscle were greatly enhanced, whereas lipid content was significantly reduced (p < .05). Based on broken‐line regression analysis of SGR against dietary protein levels, the optimum dietary protein level for maximal growth of juvenile Dabry's sturgeon is 446.68 g/kg diet.  相似文献

不同近交系数蛤仔橙色品系的生长和成活研究   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
以不同遗传背景的蛤仔（Ruditapes philippinarum）橙色品系为材料,采用建立半同胞家系子一代H1（F=0.125）、全同胞家系子一代F1（F=0.250）、全同胞家系子四代F4（F=0.594）及自然对照组C1（F=0）的方法,进行了不同近交系数蛤仔橙色品系生长和成活的研究.结果表明,在整个养殖周期中F1组的壳长生长最慢,在稚贝期和养成期均显著小于F4和C1组（P＜0.05）,H1、F4和C1组之间的壳长生长差异不显著（P＞0.05）.C1组的成活率在整个养殖周期中为最小,除幼虫期3日龄外,其他各日龄均显著小于其他试验组（P＜0.05）,而H1、F1和F4组之间的成活率则差异不显著（P＞0.05）.试验组F1壳长生长的衰退率为2.92％ ～ 18.33％,平均值为（12.05±6.54）％,试验组H1在稚贝期、养成期显现出一定的衰退现象,而试验组F4在整个养殖周期中均未表现出近交衰退现象;各试验组的成活性状在各日龄均未出现近交衰退.该研究为橙色品系的选育奠定一定的理论基础.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to estimate heterosis and heritability for harvest body weight of the Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) measured at commercial farm conditions. Heterosis and heritability were estimated using a base population from diallel crosses of eight introduced strains. The base population included 9936 shrimp from 207 families that were produced with 188 sires and 172 dams using a nested mating design by artificial insemination. Heterosis was calculated basing on the least squares means (LSM) of harvest body weight. The results showed that most of the hybrids (75%) have positive heterosis for harvest body weight, which ranged from ?13.36% (UA2 × UA5) to 13.80% (UA6 × UA5) with a mean of 2.41%. The high amount of heterosis manifested in the hybrids indicated the usefulness of these hybrids for improving the growth. Variance components and heritability for harvest body weight were estimated using an animal model. The heritability estimate for harvest body weight was 0.092 ± 0.082 (h2) when genetic groups were excluded from the pedigree, but it was decreased when genetic groups were included in the pedigree ( = 0.066 ± 0.050), implying that there are strain additive genetic effect and heterosis in the base population. However, the heritability estimates for harvest body weight were significantly different from zero (P < 0.05) and there was no significant difference between h2 and (P > 0.05). The results from this study indicated that significant improvement for growth is possible through cross‐breeding and selective breeding in L. vannamei.  相似文献

开放核心育种体系可增加核心群体的选择强度,进而增加育种目标性状的遗传进展。本研究以罗氏沼虾(Macrobrachium rosenbergii)为研究对象,向闭锁核心群(closed nucleus population,NP)内引入扩繁群(multiplier population, MP)个体,构建两个杂交群体(正交群体NP/MP,反交群体MP/NP),并以闭锁核心群(NP/NP)为对照,应用线性混合效应模型(linear mixed effects model, LME)和广义线性混合模型(generalized linear mixed model, GLMM)对不同群体收获体重和存活率的估计边际均值进行比较,评估在虾类选择育种中构建开放核心育种体系的可行性。结果显示:(1) NP/NP、MP/NP和NP/MP群体的收获体重估计边际均值分别为45.83 g、49.57 g和46.62 g;与NP/NP群体相比, MP/NP和NP/MP群体分别提高了8.16%和1.72%。(2) NP/NP、MP/NP和NP/MP群体的存活率估计边际均值分别为72.92%、68.04%和66.55%;与NP/NP群体相比,MP/NP和NP/MP群体分别降低了6.69%和8.74%。综上所述,在罗氏沼虾核心群中引入扩繁群个体,构建开放核心育种群体,可以有效地增加收获体重的遗传进展;同时在制定选择指数时,应加大存活性状的权重,选择生长和存活性能均优良的家系生产扩繁群体,导入闭锁核心育种群,构建生长和存活性能均优良的开放核心育种群。  相似文献

Understanding the effects of inbreeding is critical to the long-term viability of shellfish breeding programs, especially as breeders attempt to develop selected lines in hatcheries with small effective population sizes. Inbreeding depression in shellfish is well documented among the offspring of selfed individuals and full-sib crosses. This study was conducted to determine if crossing more distantly related parents would result in measurable inbreeding depression of performance traits in adult Crassostrea gigas raised in a commercial intertidal growing environment. Families were created with expected inbreeding coefficients (F) of 0, 0.0625, and 0.203. Average family yield, individual growth rate, and survival were recorded after the first and second growing seasons. Significant inbreeding depression in yield, individual growth rate and survival was observed after the first growing season in families with F=0.203 (P<0.0001), but not in families with F=0.0625 (P>0.058). After two growing seasons, significant inbreeding depression of yield and individual growth rate was observed in families with F=0.0625 (P<0.01) and F=0.203 (P<0.001). Significant depression of survival at harvest was observed only in families with F=0.203 (P=0.009). These results emphasize the importance of maintaining pedigree records in shellfish breeding programs to help avoid the deleterious effects of inbreeding depression, even among crosses of distantly related parents.  相似文献

This study aimed to develop a synbiotic combination with probiotic, Lactobacillus plantarum 7–40 and one of three prebiotics, fructooligosaccharide (FOS), galactooligosaccharide (GOS) and mannan oligosaccharide (MOS). The best in vitro growth was observed when probiotic was cultured in the medium containing either FOS or GOS as the sole of carbon source. The analysis of enzyme activity revealed that GOS induced the highest activities of protease and β‐galactosidase of probiotic. Based on the findings, probiotic + GOS were selected as synbiotic to evaluate if it could promote the growth of white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. For this, four diets, including a basal diet with no GOS or probiotic (control), 0.4% GOS (PRE), 108 CFU probiotic kg?1 (PRO) and 0.4% GOS in combination with 108 CFU probiotic kg?1 (SYN), were fed to shrimp for 60 days, and then the growth performance, intestinal microbiota (including total Vibrio counts, VBCs; and lactic acid bacteria, LAB) and digestive enzyme (including protease, leu‐aminopeptidase and β‐galactosidase) were evaluated. The weight gain (WG) of shrimp fed the PRO did not significantly differ from those of control (p > .05). Shrimp fed the SYN had significantly higher WG compared with the other treatments (p < .05). In addition, the SYN‐fed shrimp had significantly higher LAB and protease, leu‐aminopeptidase and β‐galactosidase activity (p < .05). The lowest presumptive Vibrio count (VBC) was also observed in intestines of SYN‐fed shrimp. Therefore, we suggested that Lac. plantarum 7–40+ GOS can be used as a synergistic synbiotic for shrimp culture.  相似文献

We present a novel KING breeding design to produce genetically protected homogeneous fish material for commercial producers from a breeding nucleus. KING F2‐production population is established from the nucleus, first through full‐sib mating within two unrelated high‐quality families to produce inbred F1‐progeny and then resolving the inbreeding in F2 through mating of the unrelated F1‐individuals. Owing to a small number of founders and the inbred F1‐parents, the remaining additive genetic variance is 37.5% of the original. This restricts the use of F2‐progeny to establish new breeding programmes, thereby protecting the genetic material of the nucleus. The theoretical calculations show that a concomitant decrease of phenotypic variance is possible. However, the reduction is considerable only for traits with high heritability (h2 > 0.50). The method was tested with rainbow trout. The results revealed that the mean body weight of the KING‐progeny was similar, but, surprisingly, phenotypic variation (especially due to residual variance) was higher compared with either their outbred control group or the nucleus breeding population. Although further evaluation of this breeding design is needed, the results suggest that while genetic protection is achieved, the efficiency of the method to reduce phenotypic variation is limited for economically important traits with low‐to‐moderate heritability.  相似文献

Muskellunge, Esox masquinongy, is an important recreational freshwater fish native to North America. Since muskellunge populations are often maintained through stocking efforts, advances in muskellunge reproductive technologies are of direct relevance to fishery enhancement. We evaluated the efficiency of inbreeding through induced meiotic diploid gynogenesis. Eggs from six female muskellunge were manually stripped and activated using ultra violet‐irradiated yellow perch, Perca flavescens, sperm. Hydrostatic pressure shocking regimes (48 263 kPa) were then applied to the eggs to prevent second polar body expulsion producing unambiguous meiotic gynogens. Six female dams and samples of 12–20 of their gynogenetic progeny were genotyped at seven polymorphic microsatellite loci. Chromosomal recombination frequencies of microsatellite loci based on retention of heterozygosity among gynogens ranged from 0.043 to 0.839 (0.576 ± 0.237). There were no statistical differences in recombination frequency among females at any of the loci. The average inbreeding coefficient (F‐value) ranged from 0.581 to 0.979, equivalent to three to fourteen generations of full‐sibling crosses respectively. The average F‐value overall was 0.712, equivalent to between five and six generations of full‐sibling crosses. Centromere map distances of the seven microsatellite loci ranged from 2.15 to 41.95 cM and meiotic gynogenesis was useful in eliminating heterozygosity at loci proximal to the centromere, but not distal. Since the age at maturity of female muskellunge is approximately 5 years, gynogenesis may pose an expeditious alternative to traditional breeding strategies for creation of homozygous pedigrees for some loci that may be outcrossed to introduce positive heterozygosity effects in the offspring.  相似文献
