Water salinity affects survival, growth and metamorphosis of anuran tadpoles. Hoplobatrachus rugulosus is considered not only as a freshwater amphibian but is also found in brackish wetlands. However, whether salinity change interferes with hatching, survival, body mass and development of H. rugulosus tadpoles is unknown. We found that salinity levels of <4‰ did not affect of survival or hatching of H. rugulosus eggs. At an early larval stage, tadpoles could tolerate up to 9‰ salinity for 96 h; however, body water content decreased when salinity was >5‰. After a 3‐week experiment, body weights of tadpoles exposed to 2‰ and 4‰ salinities were higher but that of the 6‰ group was lower compared with the 0‰ group. More than 90% of tadpoles exposed to 2‰ and 4‰ salinity showed complete metamorphosis. Salinity levels <4‰ promoted survival of tadpoles better than 0‰, whereas none of tadpoles in the 6‰ group became juvenile frogs in 50 days. Time taken to reach metamorphosis was shorter for 2‰ and 4‰ (47.22 ± 0.28 and 47.26 ± 0.33 days, respectively) than for 0‰ (49.31 ± 0.35 days). Juvenile frogs in the 2‰ group had greater body weight than the control. It could be concluded that salinity of <4‰ increased survival and body weight of H. rugulosus tadpoles, and shortened the time taken to reach metamorphosis.  相似文献

Change in environmental salinity level is a major limiting factor for the aquaculture productivity because it imposes severe stress on organisms that in turn retards growth. The orange mud crab (Scylla olivacea) is an important coastal aquaculture species (farming is practised in 10‰–20‰ salinity levels) in Bangladesh. The present study was conducted to investigate the changes in growth, O2 consumption and mRNA expression levels of five selected genes in the orange mud crab (S. olivacea) exposed to three different experimental salinity levels (0‰, 10‰ and 20‰) for three months. Crabs reared at 10‰ and 20‰, showed significantly higher (p < .05) growth performance and expression of growth regulatory genes (Actin and α‐amylase). The highest levels (p < .05) of O2 consumption and expression of ion regulatory genes (Na+‐K+‐ATPase, V‐type H+‐ATPase and Diuretic Hormone) were obtained at 0‰. Moderate levels of growth and expression of selected candidate genes were observed at 10‰ treatment while the highest levels of growth and gene expression were obtained at 20‰ (control salinity). Strong interactions were observed between growth performance and expression of growth genes (R2 = 0.81–0.91), and rate of O2 consumption and expression of ion regulatory genes (R2 = 0.83–0.93), implying that the selected genes are important candidates for growth and ionic balance in S. olivacea. Growth performance was found to be very low at 0‰ initially, after 30 days crabs showed better growth performance at this salinity level. It is thus inferred that orange mud crab individuals might require 3–5 days for acclimation to salinity stress but it can take at least 30 days for acclimation to regular growth. Results indicate that with proper acclimation, the orange mud crab (Scylla olivacea) can be farmed at low salinity conditions and possibly in freshwater condition.  相似文献

A physiological study was performed to explore the effects in Sphoeroides annulatus (Jenyns 1842) juveniles of exposure to different salinities 10, 17, 23, 29, 35 and 41‰ on oxygen consumption rate (OCR), ammonium excretion rate (AER), the oxygen‐nitrogen atomic ratio (O:N), osmoregulation and Na+/K+‐ATPase expression. The OCR values ranged from 27.9 to 30.9 mg O2 h?1 kg?1, displaying a Type 1 response pattern Kinne (1977). AER ranged from 0.60 to 0.69 mg h?1 kg?1, and O:N values were from 53.12 to 59.26, indicating that the puffers use proteins and lipids as an energy‐substrate. Osmoregulation in S. annulatus was hyposmotic in salinities of 23, 29, 35 and 41‰ and hyperosmotic in a salinity of 10‰. The isosmotic point of the bullseye puffer was 356 mmol kg?1 (10.5‰). The enzyme expression analysis indicates that the fish acclimated to 41‰ had the highest Na+/K+‐ATPase expression level, whereas, the lowest expression level was found close to the isosmotic point. Na+/K+‐ATPase expression in the gills was found to have a U‐shaped relationship with environmental salinity. We conclude that the bullseye puffer is strongly euryhaline and can be cultivated in a wide range of environments that has important economic implications.  相似文献

Overwintering is an important part of the conservation of Scylla paramamosain, and salinity has an important effect on the conservation of S. paramamosain during overwintering. Three salinities (4‰, 12‰ and 25‰) were selected as the overwintering salinities to reveal the effects of different salinities on the relevant important ions in osmotic pressure regulation, plasma cortisol, digestive enzymes, immune enzymes and amino acids of S. paramamosain during indoor overwintering. Results indicated that after overwintering, Cl‐, Na+ and the osmotic pressure of serum have the highest salinity at 25‰, and the lowest salinity at 4‰. Na+/K+‐ATPase activity and cortisol were found to increase with decreasing salinity. The activity of digestive and immune enzymes was highest at 25‰, and was the lowest at 4‰. The amount of total amino acids (TAA), umami amino acids (UAA) and essential amino acids (EAA) in 25‰ were significantly higher than in 4‰ and 12‰. After overwintering, the essential amino acid index (EAAI) in the salinity range of 12–25‰ was 54.04–59.00, compared to 48.56–54.04 in the salinity range of 4–12‰. As a result, S. paramamosain at 25‰ had higher digestion and immunity than at 4‰ and 12‰, due to requiring more energy for osmotic pressure adjustment. In addition, S. paramamosain at 25‰ had the best meat quality. The results of this study are helpful for aquaculture production for indoor overwintering of S. paramamosain.  相似文献

The mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) naturally inhabits freshwater (FW; 1–3‰) and seawater (SW; 28–33‰) ponds in constructed wetland. To explore the physiological status and molecular mechanisms for salinity adaptation of the mosquitofish, cytoprotective responses and osmoregulation were examined. In the field study, activation of protein quality control (PQC) mechanism through upregulation of the abundance of heat shock protein (HSP) 90 and 70 and ubiquitin-conjugated proteins was found in the mosquitofish gills from SW pond compared to the individuals of FW pond. The levels of aggregated proteins in mosquitofish gills had no significant difference between FW and SW ponds. Furthermore, the osmoregulatory responses revealed that the body fluid osmolality and muscle water contents of the mosquitofish from two ponds were maintained within a physiological range while branchial Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) expression was higher in the individuals from SW than FW ponds. Subsequently, to further clarify whether the cellular stress responses and osmoregulation were mainly induced by hypertonicity, a laboratory salinity acclimation experiment was conducted. The results from the laboratory experiment were similar to the field study. Branchial PQC as well as NKA responses were induced by SW acclimation compared to FW-acclimated individuals. Taken together, induction of gill PQC and NKA responses implied that SW represents an osmotic stress for mosquitofish. Activation of PQC was suggested to provide an osmoprotection to prevent the accumulation of aggregated proteins. Moreover, an increase in branchial NKA responses for osmoregulatory adjustment was required for the physiological homeostasis of body fluid osmolality and muscle water content.  相似文献

The effects of salinity on hemolymph osmotic pressure, gill Na+/K+‐ATPase activity and dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5‐HT) in the gills, and hemolymph of the adult Charybdis japonica were studied. DA levels increased significantly (P < 0.05), while the NE and 5‐HT revealed contrary change in hemolymph and gills. The iso‐osmotic point of C. japonica (911.4 mOsm/kg) was at salinity of 27.87 ppt. The Na+/K+‐ATPase activity of gill showed negative correlation with salinity in the hypotonic environment (<27.87 ppt). The results of this experiment indicated that C. japonica had great capability to acclimate to low salinity.  相似文献

The present study was designed to explore the pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin in Takifugu flavidus at different salinity levels (10‰, 20‰ and 30‰). The concentrations of enrofloxacin in plasma and tissues (kidney, liver and muscle) of T. flavidus after a single oral dose of 10 mg kg?1 were simultaneously determined using HPLC. The parameters of pharmacokinetics were calculated using non‐compartmental model based on statistic moment theory. The peak concentrations of enrofloxacin were higher and Tmax values in plasma, liver and muscle tissues of T. flavidus were lower at the salinity of 20‰ and 30‰ than that of 10‰, except the kidney tissue. These demonstrated the absorption of enrofloxacin was more quickly and more quantity at the high salinity. The elimination half‐life (t1/2z) of enrofloxacin in the plasma (45.22, 69.91 and 95.45 h) was increasing with the increase in salinity. And the t1/2z values of enrofloxacin in liver (76.44, 44.21 and 33.48 h) and kidney (212.16, 157.43 and 35.61 h) both decline with the increase in salinity, indicating the elimination of enrofloxacin was faster in liver and kidney but slower in plasma at the high salinity. The content of enrofloxacin in liver was increasing with the increase in salinity, suggesting that salinity affects tissue distribution and metabolism in T. flavidus. In addition, the AUC0–∞ data of enrofloxacin (kidney > plasma > liver > muscle) at different salinity levels were essentially consistent, and AUC0–∞ data of kidney were declined with the increase in salinity, supporting that the kidney was the main organ and the role of extent of kidney on excretion was different in different salinity levels.  相似文献

The rate of metamorphosis of larvae, duration of larval stages and carapace lengths of postlarvae were measured in the common prawn, Palaemon serratus, reared in 30 different combinations of temperature and salinity. Temperature varied from 13°C to 29°C and salinity from 13‰ to 43‰. When salinity.was 13‰, this species was able to metamorphose at a temperature of 21°C. For salinities of 19‰, 25‰, 31‰, 37‰ and 43‰, the temperature range over which metamorphosis occurs extends from 17°C to 25°C. The equation of Van't Hoff can be adapted to calculate the relation between the rearing rate, which is the converse of the duration of larval stages, and the water temperature. The Q10 values vary from 1.39 minimum at a salinity of 37‰ to 2.28 maximum at 31‰. Neither the effect of temperature (at 0.1%) nor that of salinity (at 1%) is significant for the carapace lengths of postlarvae.Tridimensional models of the combined effects of temperature and salinity on the rate of metamorphosis and on the number of metamorphosed postlarvae appearing daily were constructed for this species.  相似文献

An experiment was conducted to compare growth and timing to metamorphosis of bullfrog Rana catesbeiana (Shaw) tadpoles feeding on phytoplankton and on supplementary feed. Three interconnected, round, 4 m diameter concrete tanks were used in the experiment. Tanks 1 and 2 were stocked with juvenile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.) to stimulate phytoplankton through faecal fertilization. A third tank remained without fish. Stage 25-Gosner bullfrog tadpoles were placed in 0.042 m3 cages at 1 I?1. Experimental treatments consisted of: (1) tadpoles feeding solely on phytoplankton (P); (2) P + 13% body weight day?1 (bw day1) supplementary feeding (SF); (3) P + 9.75% bw day?1 SF; (4) P + 6.5% bw day?1 SF; (5) P + 3.25% bw day?1 SF; and (6) tadpoles feeding solely on supplementary feed at 13% bw day?1. Final weight was lowest in those organisms feeding exclusively on supplementary feed, followed by those feeding on phytoplankton. Treatments 2 and 3 showed the highest weight (3.65 and 3.64 g, respectively). After 70 days, 50% of the tadpoles in treatment 4 (6.5% bw day?1) reached metamorphic climax, followed by treatment 5 (33%). Only 8% of tadpoles feeding exclusively on live food reached metamorphosis. It is concluded that in the presence of abundant phytoplankton, it is possible to reduce up to 50% of the standard supplementary feeding rate and still have normal growth and metamorphosis. Tilapia represents a good alternative for biofertilization.  相似文献

An experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of rearing density on growth, metamorphosis and behavioural patterns of feeding in bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana Shaw, tadpoles. Stage 25 (Gosner) tadpoles from a single cohort were stocked at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 L–1 in 6-L plastic containers. A combination of phytoplankton and supplementary feed was used. There was an inverse relationship between rearing density and growth and metamorphosis above two organisms L–1. Tadpoles reared at 0.5 and 1.0 L–1 reached the metamorphic climax in 135 and 120 days, respectively, whereas more than 80% of all tadpoles reared at 4 and 8 L–1 did not metamorphose at all. Intraspecific competition appeared to be consistent among the cultured organisms regardless of the rearing density. Smaller tadpoles were displaced to sites distant from feeding points during supplementary feed addition, while no displacement was observed during phytoplankton addition. It is concluded that bullfrog tadpoles grow well at up to two organisms L–1 and that intraspecific competition is present within cultured tadpoles regardless of stocking density and may result from intrinsic genetic variability.  相似文献

A study was performed to examine the effects of salinity on water quality, fish performance, carcass composition and haemato‐biochemical parameters in juvenile meagre, Argyrosomus regius. Fish (5.0 g) were stocked in fibreglass tanks at four salinity levels: 8‰, 16‰, 24‰ and 32‰, and fed a pelleted diet (47/17 protein/lipid) for 56 days. Results indicated that the growth, feed utilization, carcass composition and haemato‐biochemical parameters of meagre gradually improved with the increase in salinity up to 24‰ and then significantly (p ≤ .05) decreased at 32‰. The survival per cent showed a significant decrease when A. regius exposed to 8‰ salinity. An improvement with 32%, 47% and 34.1% of FCR, protein productive value and energy utilization was detected at 24‰ compared with 8‰ salinity respectively. The highest content of protein and the lowest of lipids were recorded in fish carcass at 24‰ compared with the opposite trend at 8‰ salinity. The 24‰ salinity treatment exhibited the highest value of haemoglobin (4.9 g/dl) and the lowest ratio (0.73) of albumin/globulin. The serum total protein, albumin and globulin were significantly higher at 24‰ and 32‰ salinity than those at 8‰ and 16‰ salinity groups. These findings indicate that 24‰ salinity level might be the best for meagre.  相似文献

In this study, we evaluated the growth, osmoregulation and energy metabolism of the oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense, reared during 6 weeks with different salinities (0, 8, 14 and 22 g/L). The results showed that the haemolymph osmolality of M. nipponense increased with an increase in ambient osmotic pressure; the isosmotic point was 490 mOs/kg H2O. The prawns showed a higher survival rate, weight gain rate and hepatopancreas index in salinity 14 g/L. Digestive enzymes were all affected by salinity, and the highest activities were observed in the salinity 14 g/L. The mRNA expression of Na+‐K+‐ATPase in gills and p53 in hepatopancreas were the highest in salinity 22 g/L. The expressions of heat shock protein 90 and glutathione S‐transferase genes in hepatopancreas were significantly higher in the salinity 8 g/L. Lipid metabolism‐related genes in hepatopancreas were significantly expressed in the salinity 14 g/L. The glucose‐6‐phosphatase gene in hepatopancreas was highly expressed in the salinity 8 and 22 g/L, and the expression of the ecdysone receptor gene in hepatopancreas was significantly higher in the salinity 14 g/L. The results showed that salinity 14 g/L could promote the growth of M. nipponense. However, higher salinity conditions may cause physiological damage, which provides a theoretical basis for brackish water culture of M. nipponense.  相似文献

The effects of ovine prolactin (oPRL) on osmoregulatory ability (electrolyte balance, plasma osmolality and activity of gill chloride cells and gill Na+/K+‐ATPase) and stress responses (plasma cortisol, glucose, aspartate aminotransferase: AST and alanine aminotransferase: ALT) were investigated in black porgy transferred to freshwater (FW). Fish in seawater (SW) were injected twice at a 24 h interval with oPRL (at 1, 3, or 5 μg g–1 body weight) or vehicle (0.9% NaCl) and then transferred to FW. They were sampled 3 days after the transfer. With oPRL at 5 μg g–1, levels of plasma Na+ and Cl? and osmolality were significantly higher than in saline‐treated fish, whereas gill CCs number and Na+/K+‐ATPase activity were lower. Also, the 5 μg g–1oPRL treatment led to significantly lower plasma cortisol levels than did saline treatment. However, there were no significant differences in plasma AST and ALT between groups. These results support the positive osmoregulatory role of PRL in black porgy during FW adaptation.  相似文献

Effects of salinity on the growth, survival, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and sodium‐potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na+K+‐ATPase) activities of juvenile golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus were studied under a laboratory condition. Experimental fish were reared at the salinities of 10‰, 18‰, 26‰ and 34‰ for 30 days. Growth and survival of juvenile golden pompano were significantly affected by the rearing salinity. Fish reared at 34‰ achieved the highest specific growth rate, while the highest survival was obtained when fish were cultured at the salinity of 26‰. The highest GPX activity was obtained when fish were cultured at 26‰, and the lowest GPX activity was observed when fish reared at 34‰ salinity. The SOD activities of fish reared at 18‰ and 34‰ were significantly higher than those reared at 10‰ and 26‰. The lowest of Na+K+‐ATPase activity was obtained in fish reared at 34‰, while the highest Na+K+‐ATPase activity was obtained when fish reared at 18‰. Results from present study indicate that juvenile golden pompano can be reared above 18‰ without sacrificing fish survival, and the best growth can be achieved when fish is reared at the salinity of 34‰. The salinity of 10‰ may be too low for juvenile golden pompano as the growth, survival and SOD activity were reduced.  相似文献

A comparison was made of growth performance in bullfrog Rana catesbeiana tadpoles and biogenic capacity in culture tanks with gravel, sand and hard bottoms. Stage 25 (Gosner) tadpoles from a single cohort were stocked in 1‐m2 fibreglass tanks at 50 m?2. Two treatments and a control were employed, with three replicates each: T1=tadpoles reared in tanks with 0.02 m deep layer of sterilized silica gravel (2360 μm particle size); T2=tadpoles reared in tanks with 0.02 m deep layer of sterilized beach sand (250 μm particle size); and C=a control treatment with tadpoles reared in tanks with no soft substrate (conventional method). Tadpoles were fed on a 40% protein, powdered specific bullfrog feed at 13% body weight day?1. Results for survival, timing to metamorphosis, specific growth rate and weight gain exhibited no statistical differences between treatments (P>0.05). However, tadpoles in T1 had an apparent overall better performance based on numerical indicators. Biotic colonization was also statistically similar (P>0.05) between treatments, showing an overall poor biogenic capacity for the tested substrates. Only three taxa, at low abundances, were recorded for phytoplankton and phytobenthos: cyanophiceae, chlorophyceae, and bacillariophyceae. Zooplankton was represented by two microinvertebrate groups, rotifera and protozoa. The statistical similarities between treatments may reflect that bullfrog tadpoles do not exploit naturally occurring aquatic biota when sufficient suspended artificial feed particles are present.  相似文献

Litopenaeus schmitti juveniles (total length 15 ± 0.4 cm) were exposed to different concentrations of nitrite using the static renewal method at different salinity levels (5‰, 20‰ and 35‰) at pH 8.0 and 20 °C. The 24, 48, 72 and 96 h LC50 values of nitrite in L. schmitti juveniles were 40.72, 32.63, 24.63, and 19.12 mg L−1 at 5‰; 53.52, 38.60, 27.76, 25.55 mg L−1 at 20‰; 54.32, 47.87, 41.67 and 38.88 mg L−1 at 35‰ salinity. As the salinity decreased from 35‰ to 5‰, susceptibility to nitrite increased by 33.4%, 46.7%, 69.2% and 103.3%, after 24, 48, 72 and 96 h of exposure respectively. Furthermore, we found that exposure of shrimp to nitrite caused an increase in oxygen consumption by 137.3%, 99.2% and 81.4% and an increase in the ammonia excretion level by 112.5%, 87% and 64.3% with respect to the control with decreasing salinity levels.  相似文献

Recent efforts have been made to culture marine shrimp in systems operating under low or zero‐water exchange and with decreased water salinity. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of various salinity levels on qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the natural community and, more particularly, ciliated protozoa, and compare this information with shrimp growth and survival. Tanks with 9‰ salinity were characterized by a higher pH, but also by a significantly higher concentration of chlorophyll a (Chl a) per weight of suspended matter (1.93 ± 0.72 µg Chl a/mg TSS) than tanks with 18‰ (1.29 ± 0.68 µg Chl a/mg TSS) or 36‰ (1.37 ± 0.61 µg Chl a/mg TSS) salinity. Concentrations of ciliates (max 6000 cells mL?1) showed considerable fluctuations over the sampling period, reflecting the impact of water salinity, dynamic interactions between ciliates and their diverse roles within the shrimp production system. There was no significant difference between survival rates of shrimp reared at 9‰, 18‰ or 36‰, but decreasing salinity from 36‰ to 9‰ led to a significant decrease in final shrimp body weight (from 13.40 ± 0.26 g to 10.23 ± 2.72 g). Future work should address the potential of ciliates as an indicator of aquaculture water quality, as is currently being done in the wastewater industry, and the contribution of ciliates as food sources.  相似文献

In the present study, we report the first successful instance of controlled reproduction in Scatophagus argus, which has recently emerged as a new aquaculture resource. The controlled reproduction process for S. argus was optimized with regard to salinity acclimation. Gonadal maturation was affected by salinity in both sexes. Levels of plasma 17β‐estradiol (E2) and 11‐ketotestosterone (11‐kT) were salinity dependent and increased significantly with the duration of acclimation. Plasma levels of gonadal steroids were higher in fish held at 25‰ salinity. The highest gonadosomatic indices (GSI), 15.1 ± 1.6 in the female and 6.4 ± 1.2 in the male, were also observed at 25‰ salinity. Nevertheless, the optimal salinity for S. argus embryonic development and larval culture was 15‰. Thus, the salinity requirement for gonadal maturation and early development are quite different. The use of advanced reproductive technologies combining salinity acclimation and stimulation of luteinizing hormone‐releasing hormone analog (LHRH‐A2) resulted in a fertilization rate of 83.2%–91.3% and embryonic survival rates of over 90%. Embryos of S. argus at the 2‐cell, blastula, gastrula and pharyngula stages were observed. Most embryos hatched after 21.0 hr of incubation at 28.0 ± 1.0°C. The development of larvae into juveniles was completed at 40–45 days posthatch (dph). In this study, we provide information about the controlled reproduction of S. argus and identify the optimal environmental parameters for S. argus embryonic and larval culture, with the aim of developing reliable reproductive techniques for its mass production.  相似文献
