The 27 extant species of sturgeons and paddlefishes (Order Acipenseriformes) represent a unique and relict lineage of fishes. Producers of coveted black caviar, sturgeons are one of the most valuable wildlife commodities on earth. The group is among the most endangered fishes with all species listed under Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) Appendix I (two species) or II (25 species), only two species considered Lower Risk by IUCN, four of the nine US taxa and one Caspian species protected under the Endangered Species Act, and local extinctions recorded for 19 of 27 species. Despite their well‐publicized imperilled status, commercial pressure on 15 species persists. Here, after reviewing the biological characteristics of sturgeons and paddlefishes and their commercial use, an overview of global fisheries is presented. The synopsis demonstrates that, with few exceptions, sturgeon and paddlefish are imperilled across the globe and long‐term survival in the wild is in jeopardy. All major sturgeon fisheries have surpassed peak productivity levels, with 70% of major fisheries posting recent harvests <15% of historic peak catches and 35% of the fisheries examined crashing within 7–20 years of inception. Even in Caspian Sea fisheries, the most important globally, present catches are below 10% of historic peak landings. Improved domestic and international fisheries management and attention to habitat and species restoration is now needed. Although captive rearing offers promise for caviar alternatives and endangered species restoration, it must advance cautiously to avoid environmental harm. To ensure a continued supply of caviar and the survival of these unique fishes we offer recommendations for priority conservation action for the future. 相似文献

Intestinal neoplasms are common in zebrafish (Danio rerio) research facilities. These tumours are most often seen in older fish and are classified as small cell carcinomas or adenocarcinomas. Affected fish populations always contain subpopulations with preneoplastic lesions, characterized by epithelial hyperplasia or inflammation. Previous observations indicated that these tumours are unlikely caused by diet, water quality or genetic background, suggesting an infectious aetiology. We performed five transmission experiments by exposure of naïve fish to affected donor fish by cohabitation or exposure to tank effluent water. Intestinal lesions were observed in recipient fish in all exposure groups, including transmissions from previous recipient fish, and moribund fish exhibited a higher prevalence of neoplasms. We found a single 16S rRNA sequence, most similar to Mycoplasma penetrans, to be highly enriched in the donors and exposed recipients compared to unexposed control fish. We further tracked the presence of the Mycoplasma sp. using a targeted PCR test on individual dissected intestines or faeces or tank faeces. Original donor and exposed fish populations were positive for Mycoplasma, while corresponding unexposed control fish were negative. This study indicates an infectious aetiology for these transmissible tumours of zebrafish and suggests a possible candidate agent of a Mycoplasma species. 相似文献

Abstract. In March 1972 an epizootic of a non-specific fish disease (red spot), was reported in estuarine fish stocks of the Burnett River in central Queensland, Australia. The disease, characterized by the presence of external lesions, infected a wide range offish species. Red spot has now reportedly spread to the river systems of New Guinea in the north and southwards to central New South Wales. The sea mullet, Mugil cephalus , was selected as a target species for the monitoring of epizootics within the Noosa River system of southern Queensland. Disease epizootics appeared to be related to the occurrence of certain environmental changes such as low or rapidly changing temperatures and rapid or prolonged depressions of salinity in the estuarine habitat. The effect of crowding, migration and spawning upon the transmission of this disease is also discussed. Simultaneously conducted microbiological investigations indicated that the bacterium, Vibrio anguillarum was the causative agent of red spot epizootics. 相似文献

Chondrichthyans are a diverse group in terms of reproductive mode, which range from extended oviparity to placental viviparity.
Although the reproductive biology of several species has been investigated, the reproductive physiology of only a few species
has been reported. Only recently have the physiological factors of reproduction in cartilaginous fishes received attention.
The information gained on reproductive cycles (both gonadal and uterine) has shown some similarities as well as differences
between species. The serum levels of androgens, oestrogens, and progestins have been examined in several elasmobranch species
and it has been shown that they are important in regulating key events in reproduction. The endocrine control of reproduction
in elasmobranchs is more similar in many ways to higher vertebrates such as mammals than to teleosts. In general, the role
of progesterone becomes more important than that of oestrogen in the transition from oviparity to viviparity. In addition,
the roles of peptide hormones such as relaxin and the neurohypophysial hormones become increasingly important in viviparous
species as in higher vertebrates. It is vital to understand the environmental and hormonal control of reproduction in elasmobranchs
if more success is to be achieved in their reproduction in captivity. Knowledge gained from studies of the endocrine regulation
of the reproductive cycle can be used to enhance the reproductive success of captive sharks, skates, and rays.

Abstract. Diseases of bivalve molluscs characterized by the presence of prokaryotic intra-cytoplasmic inclusion bodies in epithelial cells are reviewed. The paper reports the history, clinical and pathological findings during hatchery epizootics of chlamydiosis in larval and postmetamorphic bay scallops, Argopecten irradians (Lamarck), and enzootic infection in wild, captive and cultured adult and juvenile bay scallops during a 15-year period (1972–1987) of surveillance for scallop diseases in the northeastern Atlantic coastal region of the United States. The disease was found in 44·4% of adult bay scallop laboratory accessions as an endemic disease without overt clinical signs or mortalities, and as a highly fatal epizootic disease with a rapid course in 20% of hatchery-reared larval and postmetamorphic bay scallop accessions. The pathogenesis and development of the chlamydial agent during hatchery epizootics are described. The importance of the congenital 'childhood' diseases of larval bay scallops and other species of bivalve molluscs is discussed. 相似文献

The Mahseers (Tor spp.) are highly valued freshwater fishes across the Himalayan and South‐east Asian regions. Over exploitation of natural stocks because of high demand and the deteriorating environmental conditions have resulted in marked decline of mahseers in the wild. Malaysian mahseers, T. tambroides (Bleeker) and T. douronensis (Valenciennes), locally known as empurau, kelah or belian and semah, respectively, have significant cultural and economic importance but both species are now threatened in the wild because of environmental degradation and over fishing. A captive breeding programme was instigated to attempt to propagate these two species artificially for conservation and aquaculture purposes. Both pond‐reared and tank‐held T. tambroides and T. douronensis reached sexual maturity in captivity and were successfully induced to spawn using hormone treatments. Ovaprim (0.5 mL kg?1) was the most successful hormone treatment for both species. Pre‐treatment of fish with Ovaplant (28–68 μg kg?1, 2–7 weeks before spawning induction) greatly improved the success rate of spawning induction. Repeat spawning (within 4 months of initial spawning) was induced in some captive fish. Use of formalin baths improved hatching by preventing fungal infections. Embryonic development and hatching are described. Juveniles were reared in static greenwater ponds. Tor tambroides reached 142–179 g (max 270 g) in 60 weeks. These results represent the first successful captive spawning and rearing of both species. Options for future research to improve production are discussed. 相似文献

Morphology, endocrinology, and environmental modulation of gonadal sex differentiation in teleost fishes 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Successful reproduction by an adult depends on the normal ontogenesis of the gonads, a complex process of cellular and histological
differentiation that starts early in life. This process is theoretically predetermined by genetic factors and includes sensitisation
of the bipotential gonads to endogenous endocrine factors prior to, during and even after commitment to maleness or femaleness.
However, young fish are relatively vulnerable to a host of environmental (physical and chemical) factors that can affect this
endogenous endocrine axis, disturbing or even overriding the putative developmental pathway. This sexually lability can be
exploited to our advantage for the production of monosex fish populations of the most valuable sex for food production or
aquarium fish trade. On the other hand, it represents also a potential path for undesirable influences from endocrine-disrupting
chemicals and climatic factors, particularly environmental temperature. This paper provides a detailed account of the early
histological process of gonadal sex differentiation, with special reference to gonochoristic species, and reviews the criteria
employed to positively identify ovarian and testicular differentiation. It also reviews the development of endocrine competence
and sensitivity of the differentiating gonads to exogenous influences in the context of the relative stability of genotypic
sex determination in various fish species. Sex differentiation in some species seems to be under strong genetic control and
may not require endogenous sex steroid production. Conversely, reliance on endogenous sex steroids for gonadal differentiation
is observed in other species and this phenomenon is apparently associated with a higher incidence of environment (mainly temperature)-labile
sex differentiation.

Evidence from the field and laboratory has shown that reproduction and early life-stage survival of several species of teleost fishes have been adversely affected following the release of several classes of synthetic, organic chemicals into the environment. Field studies from many geographic areas over several decades have found associations between exposure to synthetic chemicals in the environment and effects on hatchability, embryological success and larval survival. In more recent research, exposure to sewage treatment and bleached kraft mill effluents has been correlated with changes in reproductive system development and alterations in the endocrine physiology of wild teleost fishes. Loss of fecundity and damage during various stages of development and reproduction have been associated with exposure to endocrine disruptors, including many currently used chemicals. The supporting laboratory studies have confirmed that various wild fish species are sensitive to certain synthetic chemicals at levels of exposure of parts per billion and parts per trillion, concentrations that are biochemically, physiologically, and environmentally relevant. This paper reviews the relevant field and laboratory research, and organizes the studies using the ecoepidemiological criteria of time-order, strength of association, specificity, consistency on replication, coherence and predictive performance. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that ambient concentrations of synthetic chemicals in some regions are at or above concentrations at which certain species could be affected. The viability of fishery resources must be linked not only to the quantity of habitat but also to the quality of habitat. 相似文献

Ornamental fishes endemic to Hawaii's reefs are a valued resource and a staple of the marine aquarium trade, worldwide. At present, the market for Hawaiian ornamental reef fish is supplied entirely by the export of wild-captured animals, but the long-term sustainability of this practice is debatable. The success of breeders of ornamental fishes elsewhere, and concerns about overexploitation of wild fishes have stimulated interest in the development of an industry based on the captive propagation and rearing of Hawaiian ornamental fishes. Initial attempts to spawn and rear the larvae of various marine ornamental fishes in Hawaii were carried out in the early 1970s. The results of these culture efforts, conducted primarily at the Oceanic Institute and the University of Hawaii's Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology on Oahu, have varied in success. For the most part, these results have appeared previously only in dissertations or in reports distributed locally. Technological improvements in marine aquarium husbandry and in the culture of edible marine fishes have both benefited practitioners of ornamental reef fish culture, and promise to do so in the future. Our objective in this paper is to review the progress that has been made in the captive cultivation of ornamental marine fishes and to provide an overview of the status of the marine aquarium industry in Hawaii. 相似文献

The major carp Catla catla is a popular freshwater edible fish and an extensively cultured species in India. However, basic information on the physiology
of reproduction is lacking in this species. By virtue of its surface feeding habit, it maintains close contact with environmental
light, and is a species of choice for the study of temporal organization of reproduction under natural and experimental conditions
for understanding environmental and/or endocrine mechanisms that control the annual reproductive cycle. The present review
covers information gathered in recent years to emphasize the temporal pattern of reproductive events and the importance of
photoperiod and melatonin, a hormone of the pineal gland that links the environment with the endocrine system in the regulation
of reproduction. Finally, the outcome of the research is discussed in terms of its direct and indirect applications to aquaculture
of this species with a view to manipulate its breeding at a desired time of the year to meet market demand. 相似文献

Genetic and environmental factors may interact to control sex determination in fishes. A common pattern of initial female differentiation and subsequent male transformation before maturation in non‐hermaphroditic fishes and after maturation in sequentially hermaphroditic fishes has suggested that changes in developmental timing may be responsible for the evolution of various expressions of sexual lability. Sequential hermaphroditism is rare in freshwater fishes, but investigators report degrees of sexual lability at four distinct life stages in cichlid fishes. Some cichlids undergo genetic sex determination and are not labile. Lability at the larval stage allows temperature or pH to determine sex. Social interactions apparently determine sex at the juvenile stage in the Midas cichlid (Amphilophus citrinellus). Most reports of post‐maturational sex change in cichlids are anecdotal or unsubstantiated. The common occurrence of same‐sex spawning suggests that many species are incapable of sex change. Sequential hermaphroditism is concluded not to be typical, except for the checkerboard cichlid (Crenicara punctulata), which regularly undergoes functional female‐to‐male transformation. Expression of sexual lability at four life stages in one family of fishes corroborates a role for developmental timing in the evolution of sequential hermaphroditism as well as environmentally controlled sex determination. The broad phylogenetic distribution of sexual lability in cichlids indicates that processes capable of producing sex change are generally present. The rarity of sequential hermaphroditism in cichlids and possibly other freshwater fishes is likely due to unpredictability of food and therefore potential mate distributions compared with coral reef habitats. 相似文献

Numerous studies are available reporting the effects of pesticides on reproductive activity in Indian fishes. The majority
of these reports deals with histopathological changes in gonads and endocrine glands involved in the regulation of reproduction
following treatment with different pesticides. Pesticides are reported to cause degenerative changes in gonads and arrest
gametogenic processes either by acting directly on the gonads or by interfering with the secretory activity of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-gonadal/thyroid
axis that regulates various reproductive events. Secretion of hormones such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), gonadotropin,
growth hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), testosterone, estrogens, 17,20β-dihydroxyprogesterone and thyroid hormones
are in general lowered, leading to cessation of gametogenesis, vitellogenesis, oocyte maturation, ovulation, spermiation,
etc. Adverse effects of pesticides have also been demonstrated on fecundity, fertilization, hatching, and postembryonic development.
The effects are highly variable and depend on the nature, dose, and mode of application of the pesticides. 相似文献

Abstract. A systemic Exophiala -like mycosis occurred naturally in five genera of captive fishes and it was experimentally produced in three additional genera: Tautogolabrus adspersus (Walbaum), Pseudopleuronectes americanus (Walbaum) and Fundulus heteroclitus (L.) by intraperitoneal injection of spores. Histo-pathologically both acute, necrotic and focal granulomatous reactions were present in naturally infected animals. The lesions were reproduced following spore inoculations while a diffuse, proliferative, granulomatous reaction followed inoculation of hyphae alone. Reports of systemic mycoses in fish and other animals due to pigmented or dematiaceous fungi are discussed and lesions compared. 相似文献

Predicting the impacts of ocean warming and acidification on marine ecosystems requires an evolutionary perspective because, for most marine species, these environmental changes will occur over a number of generations. Acclimation through phenotypic plasticity and adaptation through genetic selection could help populations of some species cope with future warmer and more acidic oceans. Coral reef species are predicted to be some of the most vulnerable to climate change because they live close to their thermal limits. Yet, their evolutionary history may indicate that they possess adaptations that enable them to cope with a high CO2 environment. Here, we first explore the evolutionary history of reef fishes and how their history has shaped their physiological adaptations to environmental temperatures and pCO2. We examine current‐day thermal and CO2 environments experienced by coral reef fishes and summarize experimental studies that have tested how they respond to elevated temperatures and pCO2 levels. We then examine evidence for acclimation and adaptation to projected ocean warming and acidification. Indeed, new studies have demonstrated the potential for transgenerational plasticity and heritable genetic variation that would allow some fishes to maintain performance as the oceans warm and become more acidic. We conclude by outlining management approaches – specifically those that can help preserve genetic variation by maintaining population size – to enhance the potential for genetic adaptation to climate change. 相似文献

Histomorphological features of piscine thyroids are widely accepted and frequently used as bioindicators of environmental pollution. This despite the fact that there is marked variation in thyroid morphology resulting from numerous pathological and physiological conditions. Our hypothesis was that there will be variations in histological features in thyroids collected from different shark species during the summer season in the northwestern Atlantic. To test our hypothesis, we examined histological features encountered in grossly normal thyroids from three species of sharks, the shortfin mako, Isurus oxyrhinchus , thresher, Alopias vulpinus and blue sharks, Prionace glauca . In addition, microscopic lesions from these thyroids were described. Ninety-four sharks were collected in summer 2001, 2002 and 2004. Routine, haematoxylin and eosin-stained paraffin-embedded sections were studied by light microscopy. We found inter-species but not intra-species variation in histological patterns of thyroids, which were distinct enough to allow 'blind' assignment of a thyroid to the specific species. The most common lesions encountered were lymphofollicular hyperplasia and chronic thyroiditis. In addition, one case each of intravascular larval nematodes and a myxosporean infection was found. Our results provide the first data on species-specific morphology of thyroids collected during summer months from sharks. The results indicate that familiarity with normal thyroid morphology is crucial before using shark thyroids in biomonitoring of environmental contamination or interpreting data from this gland in shark-health studies. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to describe two epizootics of high mortalities from infection with Streptococcus agalactiae, occurring in captive rays held in a marine display aquarium in south‐east Queensland, Australia, in 2009 and 2010. Five different species of rays were affected, including mangrove whiprays (Himantura granulata), estuary rays (Dasyatis fluviorum), eastern shovelnose rays (Aptychotrema rostrata), white‐spotted eagle rays (Aetobatus narinari) and blue‐spotted mask rays (Neotrygon kuhlii). This report describes the history of both epizootics including collection, quarantine and husbandry of rays, the disease epizootics, clinico‐pathological features of the disease, antimicrobial therapy, autogenous vaccine production, and laboratory studies including clinical and histopathology, bacteriology, PCR, molecular serotyping and sequencing of the bacterium S. agalactiae. 相似文献

Thyroid hormones in eggs of various freshwater,marine and diadromous teleosts and their changes during egg development 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Thyroid hormone concentrations in unfertilized eggs of 26 species of various freshwater, marine and diadromous teleosts were
examined, together with changes in their concentrations during egg development in some species. Significant quantities of
both thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) were found in eggs of all species examined. Mean T4 and T3 concentrations in eggs varied from 0.04 (marbled sole) to 15.00 ng/g (chum salmon), and from 0.07 (goldfish) to 9.95 ng/g
(Pacific herring), respectively. T4 concentrations were significantly greater than T3 concentrations in eggs of most freshwater fishes, whereas T3 concentrations were greater in seawater fishes. During the course of development, thyroid hormones in eggs decreased markedly
before hatching. These findings suggest that thyroid hormones are consistently present in teleost eggs, and thus may play
an important role in the egg development. 相似文献
