We monitored feeding behavior and survival of starved juvenile olive flounder experimentally infected with the gill monogenean
Neoheterobothrium hirame. Infected flounder increased amount of the time spent in the water column by 117% when trying to capture live mysids, Neomysis sp. They also showed different feeding patterns from those of uninfected fish and made fewer attacks towards prey during
one feeding attempt. Although the average numbers of mysids captured by individuals were similar between infected and uninfected
fish, heavily infected fish tended to catch less prey. These results indicate that N. hirame reduces the feeding efficiency of the host for capturing live prey and possibly makes them more vulnerable to predation during
feeding. We could not detect any obvious difference in survival rates between uninfected, lightly and heavily infected fish
during 3 months of starvation. There was no evidence that starvation makes fish more susceptible to N. hirame. The present study provides first experimental evidence that N. hirame affects feeding behavior of juvenile olive flounder and supports the idea that this parasite indirectly reducing the host’s
survival and may be responsible for the recent reduction of the flounder population in Japan. 相似文献

Turbot Scophthalmus maximus exhibits sexually dimorphic growth, with females growing faster and reaching larger adult sizes than males. Thus, development
of techniques for preferentially producing females is necessary to optimize production of these species. In this paper, gynogenetic
diploids of turbot were induced by activating egg development with ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated left-eyed flounder Paralichthys olivaceus sperm combined with cold shock to prevent extrusion of the second polar body. The results of UV irradiation experiments showed
that survival, motility, and duration of activity of P. olivaceus sperm generally decreased with increase in UV dose. The typical Hertwig’s effect was observed after fertilized turbot eggs
with UV-irradiated P. olivaceus sperm and the optimal UV dose for gynogenetic haploid production was 36,000 erg mm−2. At 15°C, appropriate timing of cold shock for retention of the second polar body in turbot eggs was at 6 min after fertilization.
Results of different combinations of two shock temperatures (1 or 3°C) and four shock durations (15, 25, 35 or 45 min) at
6 min after fertilization demonstrated that shock of 25 min at 1°C gave the highest production of diploid gynogens (39.58%
relative to its diploid control). The results of this study reveal that the use of UV-irradiated P. olivaceus sperm for activation of turbot eggs and cold shock for polar body retention is an effective method to produce gynogenetic
offspring. 相似文献

Pathological characteristics of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus experimentally infected with Streptococcus parauberis were studied. Various stressful conditions, aeration and netting stress in particular, led to induced mortality by S. parauberis. Netting stress-induced mortality was positively correlated to bacterial dose and stressful conditions. Inflammation of the
heart and pericarditis was the major pathological change observed in olive flounder experimentally infected with S. parauberis. During the infected period, the number of bacteria in the infected olive flounder was recorded over time. S. parauberis remained in all fish organs tested, especially in the heart and brain. 相似文献

The immediate-early gene (egr-1) expression was used to examine the neuron’s response in telencephalon of goldfish during spatial learning in small space.
Fishes were pre-exposed in the experimental apparatus and trained to pick food from the tray in a rectangular-shaped arena.
The apparatus was divided into identical compartments comprising three gates to provide different spatial tasks. After the
fish learned to pass through the gate one, two more gates were introduced one by one. Fish made more number of attempts and
took longer time (P < 0.05) to pass through the first gate than the gate two or three. This active learning induces the expression of egr-1 in telencephalon as established by western blot analysis. Subsequently, the fish learn quickly to cross the similar type
of second and third gate and make fewer errors with a corresponding decline in the level of egr-1 expression. As the fish learned to pass through all the three gates, third gate was replaced by modified gate three. Interestingly,
the level of egr-1 expression increased again, when the fish exhibit a high exploratory behavior to cross the modified gate three. The present
study shows that egr-1 expression is induced in the telencephalon of goldfish while intensively acquiring geometric spatial information to pass
through the gates. 相似文献

Heterochronic lin-28 is a conserved RNA-binding protein that plays a key role in the timing of developmental events in organisms. As a crucial heterochronic gene, the protein controls developmental events of the second of four larval stages in Caenorhabditi elegans. Heterochronic let-7 miRNAs are often present in various species and highly conserved in sequence and biological function and are required for various biological processes. Previous studies showed that ten let-7 miRNAs were identified in the Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) and that they were primarily expressed during metamorphosis. In this study, we clone and characterize the lin-28a gene from P. olivaceus and exhibit its dynamic expression pattern at different developmental stages and various adult tissues. The results show that the P. olivaceus lin-28a gene has high sequence similarity with other species and is highly expressed in the embryonic stage but weakly expressed in the larval stage. In addition, lin-28a overexpression causes cell proliferation and significantly promotes the levels of pre-let-7a and pre-let-7d while markedly depressing let-7a and let-7d expression in FEC (Flounder Embryonic Cell), which indicate that lin-28 possibly blocks the maturation of let-7 miRNAs. Additionally, lin-28a is identified as a target gene of let-7 miRNAs, and let-7 miRNAs directly regulate lin-28a expression by targeting its 3′ UTR. Taken together, lin-28a along with let-7 miRNA participates in a lin-28/let-7 axis pathway that regulates cell division and timing of embryonic and metamorphic events in P. olivaceus. 相似文献

To investigate the roles of the ANT gene, which codes for adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) during crustacean development, a full-length cDNA sequence of EcANT in the ridgetail white prawn Exopalaemon carinicauda, was cloned, and its expression profile was analyzed at different developmental stages and post-molting times. The EcANT gene (GenBank accession number: KP892663) contained an open reading frame of 924 bp encoding a 307 amino acid protein with a theoretical size of about 33.42 kDa and a predicted isoelectric point of 9.77. Tissue expression analysis revealed that EcANT was mainly expressed in muscle and its expression level tended to increase with the developmental stages. In addition, the expression level of EcANT after molting increased following the lengthening of post-molting time. Our results suggest that EcANT is an important gene related to the growth and development of E. carinicauda. 相似文献

The effects of soy sauce koji and the lactic acid bacterium, Tetragenococcus halophilus, were studied on the fermentation of fish sauce prepared from Chinese silver carp. The fish sauce prepared without koji and the lactic acid bacterium contained low levels of organic materials, total nitrogen, and organic acids. The use of koji was effective in increasing these qualitative parameters and further improved the amino acid score of the fish sauce. Addition
of T. halophilus had an effect on lowering the pH value during the initial period of fermentation when the soy sauce koji was also supplemented. In contrast, T. halophilus-like bacteria were found to be predominant for all tanks fermented under the different starting conditions. Although it was
not examined whether the T. halophilus-like bacteria observed after fermentation were the same as the starter-bacterium or not, it was suggested that T. halophilus plays an important role in the successful fermentation of silver carp fish sauce. Sensory evaluation conducted with Japanese
and Chinese panelists also suggested the superiority of the use of koji for fermentation of silver carp fish sauce. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450 aromatase, which is encoded by the CYP19a gene, converts androgens to estradiol. Considerable evidence suggests that estrogens play an important role in fish reproductive
process. Therefore CYP19a is an excellent candidate gene for reproductive traits. Variants in the promoter of the CYP19a gene might also be involved in the control of aromatase expression and affect regulatory mechanism linking cholesterol metabolism
to the synthesis of sex steroids. In this study, nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected with polymerase
chain reaction-single stranded conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP), namely A-680G, G-672A, AGTAGT-649 inserting or deleting,
T-623C, C-410A, T7-454A, T-402C, TTTCCAGACTGA-345 inserting or deleting, and G-297C. Nine SNPs within the promoter of the
CYP19a gene were tested for association with four reproductive traits [serum testosterone (T), serum 17β-estradiol (E2), hepatosomatic index (HSI), and gonadosomatic index (GSI)] in a population of 50 female Japanese flounder individuals. A
locus, P3 (TTTCCAGACTGA-345 inserting or deleting, G-297C), was significantly associated with 17β-estradiol (E2) level (P < 0.05) in female Japanese flounder. In addition, there was significant association between one diplotype based on nine SNPs
and reproductive trait. The genetic effect for E2 level of diplotype D3 was significantly higher than those of other diplotypes (P < 0.05). Results indicate that these genetic effects of those variants on E2 level may help to explain CYP19a gene status in the reproductive endocrinology of Japanese flounder. 相似文献

In order to distinguish the two eel species Anguilla japonica and A. anguilla irrespective of unprocessed and processed samples, a quick, convenient method using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with
a species-specific primer was established. The comparison of partial sequences of the mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA gene
between A. japonica and A. anguilla facilitated designing of a primer pair common to both A. japonica and A. anguilla and a primer specific to A. japonica. PCR was carried out with the three primers for total 110 specimens of A. japonica and A. anguilla. PCR products with the species-specific primer showed two bands for A. japonica and one band for A. anguilla in an agarose gel electrophoresis. This analytical procedure required only a short period and is more convenient than PCR-restriction
fragment length polymorphism, one of the standard methods employed for fish species identification. 相似文献

Two common live feeds, the Brachionus plicatilis species complex SS-type and L-type were used to assess whether there were any differences in protein hydrolysis and digestive trypsin activity in first feeding Japanese flounder. There were no significant differences in hydrolysis activity at 2, 3 and 7 days after hatching (DAH). At 5 DAH, hydrolysis activity was significantly higher in larvae fed SS-type (p?<?0.05) at 50 kDa in 1.5- and 3-h incubation whereas L-type treatment had not completely hydrolyzed the proteins after 3 h at the same molecular weight. Larvae fed SS-type had significantly higher (p?<?0.05) trypsin activity at 3, 5, 6, 7 DAH. Contribution of live prey to trypsin fraction in larvae showed significantly higher (p?<?0.05) fraction for SS-type at 5 DAH (2.18?±?0.44%) and 6 DAH (2.04?±?0.29%) and the effect of exogenous trypsin from live prey was relatively low when compared to the total trypsin activity in larvae. This study discusses the differences in ability to digest proteins in Japanese flounder when fed different rotifer morphotypes and highlights the adaptability of this species to alternative rotifer morphotypes during its early developmental stages. 相似文献

Reproduction allows organisms to produce offspring. Animals shift from immature juveniles into mature adults and become capable of sexual reproduction during puberty, which culminates in the first spermiation and sperm hydration or ovulation. Reproduction is closely related to the precise control of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis. Kisspeptin peptides are considered as the important regulator of HPG axis in mammalian. However, the current understanding of kisspeptin in flatfish is not comprehensive. In this study, we cloned and analyzed the kiss2 and kissr2 genes in Cynoglossus semilaevis. Interesting alternative splicing in the 5′-untranslated regions (UTR) of the Cskissr2 gene was found. The expression profiles of Cskiss2 and Cskissr2 showed relative high messenger RNA (mRNA) levels at the late gastrula stage during embryonic development, at total length = 40 mm during early gonadal differentiation, and in the brains and gonads of all investigated tissues. These results suggested that the kisspeptin system participated in embryogenesis and in the regulation of gonadal differentiation and development. Considering that the control and regulatory mechanisms of kisspeptin in the central reproductive axis are still unclear, we documented that the intramuscular injection of kisspeptin caused different sGnRH and cGnRH mRNA levels in a dose- and tissue-dependent manner. The mRNA expressions of FSH and LH were stimulated in the ovary and were inhibited in the testis under the kisspeptin treatments. These results provided foundations for understanding the roles of kisspeptin in the neuroendocrine system in fish. The manipulation of the kisspeptin system may provide new opportunities to control the gonadal development and even reproduction in fish. 相似文献

Bacillus circulans PB7, isolated from the intestine of Catla catla, was evaluated for use as a probiotic supplement in the feeds for the fingerlings of Catla catla. The effect of supplement on the growth performance, feed utilization efficiency, and immune response was evaluated. Catla
fingerlings (ave. wt. 6.48 ± 0.43 g) were fed diets supplemented with 2 × 104 (feed C1), 2 × 105 (feed C2), and 2 × 106 (feed C3) B. circulans PB 7 cells per 100 g feed for 60 days at 5% of the body weight per day in two equal instalments in triplicate treatments.
The control feed (CC) was not supplemented with the B. circulans. All the feeds were isocaloric and isonitrogenous. Fish fed with feed C2 displayed better growth, significantly (P ≤ 0.05) highest RNA/DNA ratio, a lower feed conversion ratio (FCR), and a higher protein efficiency ratio (PER) than the
other experimental diets. Highest carcass protein and lipid was also observed in the fish fed C2 feed compared to the others.
Significantly (P ≤ 0.05), highest protease was recorded in fish fed feed C2 (47.9 ± 0.016) and lowest in fish fed feed C3 (32.10 ± 0.009),
where α-amylase activity did not differ significantly (P ≤ 0.05) beyond the lowest inclusion level. ALP, ACP, GOT, and GPT in the liver of Catla catla were the highest (P ≤ 0.05) in fish fed C2 feed. The highest TSP, albumin, and globulin was observed in fish treated with C2 feed after 60 days
feeding trial, but the lowest glucose level was observed in the same treatment. After the feeding trial, the non-specific
immunity levels and disease resistance of fish were also studied. Phagocytic ratio, phagocytic index, and leucocrit value
were the highest in fish fed feed C2. After the feeding trial, the fish were challenged for 10 days by bath exposure to Aeromonas hydrophila (AH1) (105c.f.u. ml−1 for 1 h, and, after 7 days, 107c.f.u. ml−1 for 1 h). Highest survival percentage was observed in fish fed with feed C2 compared with only 6.66% in the controls, which
indicated the effectiveness of B. circulans PB 7 in reducing disease caused by A. hydrophila. 相似文献

Pseudotuberculosis is a bacterial septicaemia caused by Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida in several marine fish species. Yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata is the most sensitive fish species to this disease. The internal organs of naturally infected yellowtail exhibit whitish
spots, tubercle-like tissue structures, consisting of bacterial accumulations. There have been many trials for experimental
infection, however adequate method of infection that reproduces moderate mortality and primary clinical signs has not yet
established. Present investigation evaluated an immersion infection method by using logarithmic culture-phase bacteria resulting
in higher mortality than that using stationary culture-phase bacteria. Typical white spots on the spleen and kidney were also
observed constantly in dead fish. Transmission electron microscopy and fluorescent antibody microscopy showed bacterial clusters
not only in the spleen and kidney but also in the blood channels in the secondary gill filaments. These results were confirmed
repeatedly by plural experiments. The use of logarithmic-phase bacteria in immersion infection is an appropriate technique
to reproduce moderate mortality and primary clinical signs, which will be a reliable infection method also for the challenge
test of pseudotuberculosis vaccine. 相似文献
