Predicting invasion risk involves inherent uncertainty when data on biological and ecological characteristics are lacking. To combat data gaps, assessors are required to use information from secondary sources, further reducing predictive accuracy. Lionfish in the subfamily Pteroinae have invasion history in the Western Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, raising concern that other species of globally traded lionfish may pose risks similar to the invasive complex comprised of the red lionfish (Pterois volitans, Scorpaenidae) and devil firefish (Pterois miles, Scorpaenidae). We conducted a standardized literature review of 18 species in the genera Pterois, Dendrochirus, and Parapterois to (a) characterize the volume and composition of literature addressing the invasive complex pre‐establishment and pre‐spread, and compare it to the body of literature that has been generated post‐spread and impact, (b) compare the volume and composition of literature addressing other members of Pteroinae to the invasive complex, and (c) evaluate data quality addressing the Pteroinae by characterizing literature used to generate biological profile reports during a risk screening protocol. Little data were available for the invasive complex prior to introduction and focused primarily on the composition or effects of venom. Following introduction, there was a considerable time lag in research effort. Post‐spread, research effort increased rapidly. We identify similar data deficiencies for other species of lionfish that have not been reported outside of their native ranges. While proactive management is gaining support as an effective framework, it is important to understand data limitations and their resulting uncertainties, which leads to more informed proactive management.  相似文献

  1. A lack of biosecurity in the Suez Canal has combined with global warming and other human pressures to cause abrupt changes in the Mediterranean Sea. Throughout this region an influx of species is influencing the outcome of efforts to protect and restore nature.
  2. Despite calls for targeted removals of invasive species from protected areas, there is limited information about the effectiveness of this course of action from both an ecological and a socio-economic perspective. In this study, coordinated removals of lionfish (Pterois miles) by volunteers/scuba divers at three marine protected sites in Cyprus were conducted.
  3. The removal efficiency was monitored using visual-census surveys and citizen science data. Removals significantly decreased lionfish numbers but long-term suppression of lionfish would require monitoring and repetition of removals when necessary, since population recovery was sometimes rapid.
  4. Citizen science yielded the data needed to understand lionfish population changes and guide the timing of removal events, but was characterized by large variation and potential outliers, highlighting the need for large sample sizes.
  5. Questionnaire surveys were used to assess the social impact of participation in lionfish removals; these showed that involvement had a strong positive impact on knowledge about lionfish and motivation to support marine conservation activities – the divers were even willing to pay extra to remove lionfish.
  6. Management reforms would be needed to capitalize on this societal motivation, and enable effective lionfish removals by scuba divers, coordinated by competent authorities. The EU aims to protect at least 30% of the marine waters by 2030. Removal events could help shield selected conservation sites from the adverse effects of lionfish and at the same time help establish links with local communities, strengthening the sustainable use of marine systems both at corporate and at societal levels.

The food sources of the main economic animals and trophic levels of biotic communities from an optimized culture model (Rhopilema–Sinonovacula constricta–Paralichthys olivaceus–Penaeus chinensis) in a sea water pond in Donggang, Liaoning province were studied using the stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes technique. The results indicated that the values of δ13C range from (?27.28 ± 0.35) ‰ to (?16.65 ± 0.20) ‰ and the values of δ15N range from (3.68 ± 0.23) ‰ to (13.91 ± 0.26) ‰, both of which exhibited significant fluctuations. The δ13C values of P. chinensis, Macrobrachium mipponensis and P. olivaceus were comparatively higher than those of other aquaculture animals, and the δ15N values of P. olivaceus was also comparatively higher. The contribution to the food sources of aquaculture animals (Rhopilema, S. constricta, P. olivaceus and P. chinensis) was analyzed by using the IsoSource software. The results indicated that fish meat had the greatest contribution to Rhopilema, S. constricta and P. chinensis; P. chinensis had the greatest contribution to P. olivaceus, followed by the M. mipponensis. The trophic level of the biotic communities under that optimized culture model in a sea water pond was 3.54, in which P. olivaceus was in the fourth level (3.54); P. chinensis, Synechogobius hasta, Ablennes anastomella, M. mipponensis, Ditrema temmincki Bleeker, Chelon haematocheilus were in the third trophic levels; Rhopilema, Engraulis japonius, S. constricta and zooplankton (1.00) in the second trophic levels, suspended matters (0.15) including phytoplankton, bacteria, humus, etc., were in the primary trophic levels.  相似文献

Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) is a member of the transforming growth factorβ superfamily and plays an essential role during follicle maturation in mammals. In the present study, the full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) of gdf9 was obtained from Megalobrama amblycephala. The cDNA sequence is 2,061 bp in length with an open reading frame of 1,287 bp encoding 428 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence shared identities of about 42–86 % with the homologues of other vertebrates. During the early development of embryos, the gdf9 mRNA was detected in zygote with significantly high level and declined sharply by 47 and 87 % at 4 hours post-fertilization (hpf) and 6 hpf and even to an undetectable level through advancing stages. Expression analysis based on quantitative real-time PCR revealed that gdf9 mRNA was mainly expressed in ovary, but much lower levels were also found in some nonovarian tissues. Within the follicle, gdf9 mRNA was localized both in the oocytes and the follicle layer cells by in situ hybridization. During the ovarian cycle, gdf9 mRNA significantly decreased after the previtellogenic stage and became to increase again after the fully grown stage. The results imply that Gdf9 may play critical physiological functions in M. amblycephala early embryonic development and reproduction.  相似文献

This study was undertaken to explore the systemic metabolic strategies of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) to maintain growth when fed with different dietary protein levels. The optimal growth group and two growing discomfort groups were selected through the basic data, to explain the growth difference from appetite regulation and lipid and glucose metabolism perspective. Three experimental diets were formulated with three dietary protein levels at 200.3, 296.1 and 442.9 g kg?1, named P1, P2 and P3, respectively. Juvenile grass carp (initial body weight 12.28 ± 0.14 g) were fed with three diets with 3 replications per dietary treatment in an indoor recirculation system for an 8-week feeding trial. Fish fed with diet P2 dietary group showed significantly higher WG, SGR, FI and PER than other groups. Compared with other groups, mRNA expressions of NPY, Y8a and Y8b in fish fed with P2 significantly down-regulated, while the expressions of CCK and CART in fish fed with P3 significantly down-regulated (P < 0.05). With increasing dietary protein levels, G6Pase, GK, PK and PEPCK were all significantly inhibited (P < 0.05). For lipid metabolism, the mRNA expression of ACC in P1 dietary group was significantly higher than P3 dietary group; besides, LPL expression in P3 group was significantly higher than other two groups (P < 0.05). PPARα expression in P2 was significantly lower than other groups (P < 0.05). These results suggested that grass carp fed with P2 (296.1 g kg?1 protein level) showed highest weight gain, contributed to more balanced nutrient metabolism and appetite regulation. Too high dietary protein (442.9 g kg?1) should be avoided because it induced lowest PER, body lipid and liver lipid, and inhibited glucose and lipid metabolism in juvenile grass carp.  相似文献

A series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of temperature and the microalgae Isochrysis sp. concentration on the copepod Pseudodiaptomus euryhalinus cultured in laboratory conditions. First, the ingestion rate of P. euryhalinus was evaluated with different concentrations of Isochrysis sp. [2.74, 5.47, 8.21, 10.94 and 16.41 µg mL?1 organic dry weight (ODW)] during 24 h, at a temperature of 24.3 ± 0.3 °C. The ingestion rate increased in direct proportion to microalgae concentration, reaching an asymptotic point at 16.41 µg mL?1. P. euryhalinus was then cultured for 11 days at 24.4 ± 0.3 °C with different concentrations of Isochrysis sp. (5.47, 8.21, 10.94 and 16.41 µg mL?1 ODW) in order to quantify the optimal food density. It was observed that food concentration did not have a significant effect on the development, growth, maturity, fecundity and survival of P. euryhalinus. The effect of different temperatures (19.4 ± 0.5, 21.9 ± 1.0, 24.2 ± 0.3, 27.8 ± 0.5 and 30.1 ± 0.8 °C) on the development, growth, survival and sex ratio of P. euryhalinus fed with Isochrysis sp. at 5.47 µg mL?1 ODW was evaluated for 11 days of culture. The temperature had an inversely proportional effect on the time of development, and highest survival and growth were observed at 24.2 ± 0.3 °C. Finally, the effects of different temperatures (21.7 ± 0.5, 24.2 ± 0.3, 27.2 ± 0.3 and 30.7 ± 0.6 °C) in nauplii production of adult copepods were evaluated during 11 days. Nauplii production increased in direct proportion with the temperature. These results suggest that the optimum temperature and food concentration for P. euryhalinus culture are 24.2 ± 0.3 °C and 5.47 µg mL?1 ODW of Isochrysis sp., respectively.  相似文献

This study examined ammonia, urea, creatinine, protein, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphorus (P) excretion at different water hardness, humic acid, or pH levels in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) juveniles. The fish were exposed to different levels of water hardness (4, 24, 50, or 100 mg L?1 CaCO3), humic acid (0, 2.5, or 5.0 mg L?1), or pH (5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, or 9.0) for 10 days. The overall measured nitrogen excretions were 88.1 % (244–423 μmol kg?1 h?1) for ammonia, 10.9 % (30–52 μmol kg?1 h?1) for creatinine, 0.02 % (0.05–0.08 μmol kg?1 h?1) for protein, 0.001 % (0.002–0.004 μmol kg?1 h?1) for urea, 0.5 % (0.64–3.6 μmol kg?1 h?1) for nitrite, and 0.5 % (0.0–6.9 μmol kg?1 h?1) for nitrate, and these proportions were not affected by water hardness or humic acid levels. The overall P excretion in R. quelen was 0.14–2.97 μmol kg?1 h?1. Ammonia excretion in R. quelen usually was significantly higher in the first 12 h after feeding, and no clear effect of water hardness, humic acid levels, and pH on this daily pattern of ammonia excretion could be observed. Water hardness only affected the ammonia and P excretion of R. quelen juveniles in the initial and fifth days after transfer, respectively. The exposure of this species to humic acid increased ammonia excretion after 10 days of exposure but did not affect P excretion. An increase in pH decreased ammonia and increased creatinine excretion but did not change P excretion in R. quelen. Therefore, when there is any change on humic acid levels or pH in the culture of this species, nitrogenous compounds must be monitored because their excretion rates are variable. On the other hand, P excretion rates determined in the present study are applicable to a wide range of fish culture conditions.  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

A growth trial was conducted to evaluate meat and bone meal (MBM) as a source of Phosphorus (P) for Nile tilapia fed with plant-based diets on growth, and the efficiency of P utilization. Four isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were formulated. A plant-based diet, deficient in P (0.45 % diet, no P added), was used as the basal diet. Three levels of MBM were substituted for cornstarch in the base diet to produce experimental diets containing MBM0.56, MBM0.67, or MBM0.78% P. These diets were fed (to apparent satiation) to Nile tilapia (initial body weight = 1.53 ± 0.01 g) for eight weeks. Weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR, feed:gain), whole-body P concentration (WBPC), protein retention (PR), and retained phosphorus (RP) increased significantly (P ≤ 0.05), with the increasing dietary P levels coming from MBM. Diets containing MBM0.78 produced significantly greater WG, SGR, WBPC, PR, and RP compared to other experimental diets (P ≤ 0.05). The linear regression analysis revealed a positive correlation between the WG, WBPC, RP, and dietary P levels coming from MBM of Nile tilapia. These results indicate that MBM has an additional value as a source of P and can serve as a potential source of supplemental P for Nile tilapia fed plant-protein-based diets.  相似文献

The need to expand aquaculture production has led to other fish to be considered as potential species for culture, such as the sub-Antarctic notothenioid Eleginops maclovinus (Valenciennes, 1830). The aim of this study was to determine the cumulative effect of density and pathogen infection by protein extract of Piscirickettsia salmonis on skeletal muscle metabolism. In a first experiment, specimens were submitted to three different stocking densities: (1) 3.1 kg m?3, (2) 15 kg m?3 and (3) 60 kg m?3, for a period of 10 days. In a second experiment, metabolic changes caused by an infection of P. salmonis protein extract (a single injection of 0.5 μL P. salmonis protein extract g body weight?1 was inoculated in the fish) and its combined effect with stocking density was assessed during a period of 10 days. This study concludes that stress caused by high stocking density led to the reorganization of some metabolic routes to fulfill skeletal muscle energy needs. Furthermore, infection response by pathogen P. salmonis differed when stocking density increased, suggesting an increase of energy needs with density in skeletal muscle of infected fish.  相似文献

The effect of irradiance and temperature on the photosynthesis of two Japanese agarophytes, Gelidium elegans and Pterocladiella tenuis (Gelidiales), was determined using dissolved oxygen sensors and pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry. Gross photosynthesis and dark respiration rates were determined over a range of temperatures (8–36 °C). The highest gross photosynthetic rates were 40.3 and 37.0 mg O2 g ww ?1  min?1 and occurred at 24.3 and 25.5 °C [95 % Bayesian credible interval (BCI) 20.7–28.0 and 23.4–28.3 °C], respectively. The dark respiration rate in G. elegans and P. tenuis increased with increasing temperature at a rate of 0.10 and 0.31 mg O2 g ww ?1  min?1 °C?1 , respectively. Modeling the net photosynthesis–irradiance (P–E) responses of G. elegans and P. tenuis at 20 °C revealed that the net photosynthetic rates quickly increased at irradiance levels below the estimated saturation irradiance of 88 and 83 µmol photons m?2 s?1, with a compensation irradiance of 14 and 19 µmol photons m?2 s?1, respectively. The highest value of the maximum effective quantum yield (Φ PSII) occurred at 20.1 °C (BCI 18.9–21.5 °C) and 21.3 °C (BCI 20.2–22.5 °C) for G. elegans and P. tenuis and was 0.49 and 0.45, respectively. These optimal temperatures of Φ PSII were relatively lower than those determined by the photosynthesis–temperature model of oxygen evolution. The temperature response of these species indicates that they are probably well adapted to the current range of seawater temperatures in the study site but that they are near the boundary of their tolerable limits.  相似文献

Major fish bacterial diseases in Korea are edwardsiellosis, streptococcosis, and vibriosis. Among vibrionaceae, Listonella anguillarum, Vibrio harveyi, V. ichthyoenteri, and Photobacterium damselae were identified as causative organisms of vibriosis in flounder. In this study, we developed a multiplex PCR method using the RNA polymerase β subunit (rpoB) gene, known as a housekeeping gene for identification of Vibrio spp. causing vibriosis in flounder. Three pairs of PCR primers were designed based on the rpoB sequence of three species, V. harveyi, V. ichthyoenteri, and P. damselae. The PCR assay, using a mixture of six primers, yielded amplicons of 601, 434, and 533 bp in V. harveyi, V. ichthyoenteri, and P. damselae. None of the untargeted species yielded an amplicon. The detection limits for pure culture in kidney were 2.5 × 104 cfu/g kidney for V. harveyi, 2.5 × 105 cfu/g kidney for V. ichthyoenteri, and 2.5 × 106 cfu/g kidney for P. damselae. From the colonies on TCBS agar plates of different samples, 632 Vibrio spp. isolated from aquacultured flounder between 2004 and 2010 were identified by the multiplex PCR method. As a result, 265 strains (41.9 %) were V. ichthyoenteri; 115 strains (18.2 %) were V. harveyi and 72 strains (11.4 %) were P. damselae.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydrogen peroxide, iodine solution (PVP) and methylene blue on eggs disinfection of three ornamental fish species, Danio rerio, Pterophyllum scalare and Gymnocorymbus ternetzi. The main idea was to create conditions to enhance the hatching rates. Eggs of each species were exposed to different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (5, 10, 15 and 25 mg/L), PVP (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 mg/L) and methylene blue (0.5 1, 2 and 3 mg/L). The optimal doses ranged between species and chemicals: for G. ternetzi, the concentrations that high enhanced the hatching rate were 1 mg/L for the PVP treatment, 25 mg/L for the hydrogen peroxide treatment and 3 mg/L for methylene blue treatment; for P. scalare, the best results were achieved with 25 mg/L for hydrogen peroxide treatment and 3 mg/L for methylene blue treatment. By contrast, for all the different chemical did not increased the D. rerio hatching rate. Results showed that hydrogen peroxide and methylene blue are the most versatile, effective and safe to use in these species. On the other hand, PVP can be used but with many precautions due to very low safety margin. Results clearly show that the optimal concentration of chemicals for eggs disinfection is fish species dependent and it is completely wrong to extrapolate concentrations between different chemicals and fish species. Our study suggests that P. scalare can be used as a model in study of effectiveness of new chemicals with potential to disinfect water and increase hatching rates.  相似文献

Three experiments were carried out to separately investigate the effects of stocking density (1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 larvae ml?1), diet (Isochrysis zhanjiangensis, Chlorella spp., Nannochloropsis oculata, 50 % I. zhanjiangensis/50 % Chlorella spp. and 50 % I. zhanjiangensis/50 % N. oculata), and water exchange (25 % once every other day and 25, 50 and 100 % once daily) on growth and survival of pearl oyster Pinctada maxima larvae. Results showed that there existed significant effects of stocking density, diet, and water exchange on the growth of pearl oyster larvae (P < 0.05). Larval survival was significantly affected by stocking density and diet (P < 0.05), but not by water exchange (P > 0.05). Larval growth decreased significantly with increasing stocking density (P < 0.05). A density of 1.0–4.0 larvae ml?1 was optimal for larval growth of pearl oyster. Chlorella spp. and N. oculata could replace 50 % of I. zhanjiangensis as a food source for the pearl oyster larvae without affecting growth and survival. A water exchange of 25 % once daily provided optimum larval growth and survival.  相似文献

Retention efficiency and release of the nutrients in the digestive tract of larval shrimp (Penaeus japonicus) using the diets microencapsulated with gelatin and ethyl cellulose respectively were evaluated. The microencapsulated diets were produced using the fluidized bed coating process. 7.8 % gelatin and 4.2 % ethyl cellulose to the whole microencapsulated diet were respectively adopted as coating material. After immersion in 35 ‰ NaCl solution for 1 h, the nitrogen retention efficiency was significantly lower in the diet microencapsulated with gelatin compared with the diet microencapsulated with ethyl cellulose. Free amino acid retention efficiency of the diet microencapsulated with gelatin and ethyl cellulose was 12.9, 17.2 %, respectively. The mysis II larval shrimp (P. japonicus) 10 days after hatch were fed two different microencapsulated diets for 20 days and grew significantly more than the control larval shrimp fed with Artemia and shrimp flake. The nutrient components in intermediate intestine of larval shrimp were increased gradually in the order of the control (50 % shrimp flake + 50 % Artemia), Group I (50 % diet microencapsulated with gelatin + 25 % shrimp flake +25 % Artemia), Group II (100 % diet microencapsulated with gelatin), and Group III (100 % diet microencapsulated with ethyl cellulose). This study confirmed that the microencapsulated diets with slow and controlled release characteristic in the digestive tract of the larval shrimp (P. japonicus).  相似文献

Seaweed-associated bacteria play a role in helping to protect host organisms from biofouling by producing anti-fouling compounds. In a first step to develop such anti-fouling compounds, we isolated epibiotic bacteria from seaweed and subsequently screen culture extracts for anti-fouling activities. The active epibiotic bacterium studied was isolated from Undaria pinnatifida and identified as Streptomyces violaceoruber based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Two active compounds were isolated from the culture extracts by silica gel chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography, and their structures were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance and high-resolution electron ionization mass spectrometry. The compounds were identified as furanone derivatives: 3-octa-1′,3′-dienyl-4-methylfuran-2(5H)-one and 3-octa-1′-enyl-4-methylfuran-2(5H)-one, respectively. These compounds showed anti-fouling activities against the following fouling organisms: zoospores of Ulva pertusa, the diatom Navicula annexa, and the mussel Mytilus edulis, with an EC50 (minimum concentration for 50 % spore inhibition) range of 0.02–0.1 μg/ml. In the acute toxicity tests on juvenile rockfish Shebastes shlegelli, brine shrimp Artemia salina, and microalga Tetraselmis suecica, the two compounds showed LC50 (concentration lethal to 50 % of the spores) ranges of 13.9–118.9 and 14.8–81.9 μg/ml, respectively.  相似文献

Ammonia is one of the most common and pervasive pollutants in the aquatic habitat affecting the health of aquatic animals. It affects the number and morphology of mucus producing cells, resulting in excessive and irregular secretion and alterations in quantity of mucus, which can lead to complications in fish health. A toxicity test on the mucus cells localized on the gills (primary lamellae) and inner operculum epithelial lining of zebrafish Danio rerio at different periods of exposure (24, 48 and 72 h) followed by recovery periods was studied using histopathology, scanning electron microscopy and anterior gradient 2 homologue (agr2) gene expression techniques. Fish samples subjected to low, medium and high external toxic ammonia concentrations (L: 17.21 mg/l, M: 25.81 mg/l and H: 38.91 mg/l NH3-N) were observed to display a higher mucus layer production and active secretion compared with the control. Gill cellular alterations were more severe at 48 and 72 h. A high expression of agr2 was detected at 48 h (L and M) recovery periods and a (H) exposure and recovery period indicating an increase in quantity in newly proliferated alcian blue stained mucus cells and excessive secretion observed by histopathology. Such expression decreased at 72 h resulting in a decrease in mucus cell density and secretion.  相似文献
