The unnaturally dark pigmentation of cultured Australian snapper Pagrus auratus can be improved through dietary astaxanthin supplementation and by holding fish in tanks with a white background. The practical application of these laboratory‐based findings was examined with two experiments to establish if the advantages of transferring fish to light coloured tanks before harvest could be achieved on‐farm using white cages and to determine the effects of fish density on skin colour. For the first experiment, snapper (mean TL=29.7 cm) were transferred from a commercial snapper sea cage to black or white netted cages and fed diets supplemented with unesterified astaxanthin (supplied as Lucantin^® Pink, BASF) at 0 or 39 mg kg^?1 for 42 days. Skin colour was measured using the CIE (black–white), (green–red), (blue–yellow) colour scale. Snapper held in white netting cages became significantly lighter (higher ) than snapper held in black cages; however, values were not as high as previous laboratory‐based studies in which snapper were held in white plastic‐lined cages. Snapper fed astaxanthin displayed significantly greater and values, and total carotenoid concentrations after 42 days. In addition, total carotenoids were higher in fish from black than white cages. The second experiment was designed to investigate whether density reduced the improvements in skin colour achieved by holding fish in white coloured cages and whether cage colour affected stress. Snapper (mean weight=435 g) were acclimated to black cages and fed 39 mg kg^?1 astaxanthin for 44 days before transferring to black or white plastic‐lined cages at 14 (low), 29 (mid) or 45 (high) kg m^?3 for 7 days after which time skin colour, plasma cortisol and plasma glucose concentrations were measured. Skin lightness () was greater in snapper transferred to white plastic‐lined cages with the lightest coloured fish obtained from the lowest density after 7 days. Density had no effect on plasma cortisol or glucose levels after 7 days, although plasma cortisol was elevated in snapper from black cages. For improved skin colouration we recommend feeding unesterified astaxanthin at 39 mg kg^?1 for approximately 6 weeks and transferring snapper to white plastic‐lined cages or similar at low densities for short periods before harvest rather than producing fish in white netting sea cages subject to biofouling.  相似文献   

Flavan-3-ols and procyanidins in grape seeds: biodiversity and relationships among wild and cultivated vines

Flavan-3-ol monomers and polymers composition of seeds from wild (17) and autochthonous (8) Vitis vinifera grapes growing in northern Tunisia were evaluated. Wild grape seeds were spherical with a small beak and relatively a high seed/berry ratio (~ 18.1%w/w). Local cultivars developed pyriform-shaped seeds with a well-developed beak representing on average 2.2% of total weight of the berry. Flavanol concentrations ranged between 40.9 and 67.5 mg/g FW in seeds from wild accessions and between 48.9 and 96.7 mg/g FW in seeds from cultivated grapes. Differences between accessions were highly significant (p < 0.01) and seeds from cultivar ‘Boukhasla’ showed the highest polyphenols content. Among flavan-3-ol monomers, (+)-catechin was predominant for all ecotypes and generally their abundance was: (+)-catechin (Cat) > (?)-epicatechin (Ec) > (?)-epicatechin-3-O-gallate (EcG). The Cat/Ec ratio was approximately 1.7 for wild grapes while it was about 2.5 for cultivated grapes. Procyanidins in wild seeds differed from cultivated ones by a lower mDP and higher proportions of galloylated derivatives, likely to affect fruit bitterness and astringency. (?)-epicatechin was the main extension subunit in grape seed procyanidins, reaching on average 52% in wild and 58% in cultivated seeds. Hierarchical cluster analysis based on seeds morphometry and procyanidin profile indicated close proximity between some wild and cultivated grapes suggesting that some cultivars derived from ancestral events of local domestication or cross hybridization with native wild plants.  相似文献

M. Ben Halima Kamel  L. Mdellel  S. Zouari  J. F. Germain 《EPPO Bulletin》2019,49(2):338-339

In May 2017 and 2018, Planococcus vovae (Nasonov) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) was collected in Hammam Sousse (Tunisia) on the ornamental plant Cupressus macrocarpa (Cupressaceae). The infestation was observed on needles which showed symptoms of desiccation and chlorosis. This is the first record of P. vovae in Tunisia and in North Africa.  相似文献

目前我国微生物农药原药生产技术已达到甚至超过发达国家水平,但制剂技术却存在较大差距,主要体现在剂型结构不合理、制剂质量差、农药助剂种类及品种少、剂型加工工艺总体水平还比较落后等方面。苏云金芽胞杆菌(Bt)等功能微生物产品的市场容量及应用效果与剂型是密切相关的。为了明确新型生物杀线剂NBIN-863的最佳施用剂型,特开展此试验。通过对防腐剂、分散剂、悬浮剂等不同助剂的选择,研制了一种高含量Bt悬浮剂(5.2×10⁹～7.9×10⁹ CFU/mL)。配方优化试验表明,在Bt发酵液中加入0.4%防腐剂山梨酸钾、1.0%分散剂硅酸镁铝、4.0%悬浮剂木质素磺酸钙,用盐酸调节p H至4.5,54℃热储前芽胞数最高为7.9×10⁹ CFU/mL,对秀丽隐杆线虫活性最高,LC₅₀为2.83 mg/L,对黄瓜根结线虫田间防效达68.64%。综合各指标,尤其是对秀丽隐杆线虫的半致死浓度,杀线虫NBIN-863悬浮剂(7.9×10⁹CFU/mL)效果最好,不仅流动性好,而且耐贮藏,是防治作物根结线...  相似文献

拟松材线虫对黑松苗的致病性   总被引：16，自引：1，他引：16  

张治宇  林茂松  余本渊 《南京农业大学学报》2004,27(1):46-50

测定来源于中国、日本、韩国、加拿大、挪威和法国的20个拟松材线虫种群对2年生黑松苗的致病力。根据其致病力大小分为3类：第1类致病力很强，致死率大于85％，RHS(相关寄主适生性)系数大于100，包括法国的1个种群和中国的3个种群；第Ⅱ类有较强的致病潜能，在环境适宜的情况下可能造成严重危害，这一类数量最多，包括中国的11个种群和加拿大的1个种群；第Ⅲ类几乎没有致病力，其致死率和RHS系数都是0，包括韩国的2个种群及日本和挪威各1个种群。试验证明法国BmFr种群致死速度最快，致病力最强。黑松苗在感染拟松材线虫后，用自然界水分胁迫和PEG胁迫处理，结果表明，干旱胁迫能明显加快黑松苗死亡速度，且大大提高死亡率。提示在高温干旱的年份拟松材线虫可造成松树的大面积死亡。  相似文献

在天津郊区选择2处代表性鱼塘,采集了水、悬浮物、沉积物、鲫鱼和鲢鱼样品,测定了各种样品中的六六六含量,发现六六六在各相中均有较高残留。水相、悬浮物和沉积物中六六六平均浓度分别为19.2ng·L-1,1160.5ng·g-1和8.4ng·g-1。两鱼塘相差2～10倍。鱼塘各相六六六含量与周边土壤状况密切相关。各相六六六含量高的鱼塘位于农业土壤遭受严重污染的地区。污染严重的鱼塘中鱼体六六六富集量也大大高于相对浓度较低的鱼塘。采自两鱼塘的鱼的肌肉中平均六六六含量分别为71.4ng·g-1和19.7ng·g-1。以水相浓度为基准的生物富集系数分别为2.06×103和5.36×103。肝胰脏、肠、鳃、卵巢等器官都富集了更高浓度的六六六。  相似文献

不同松材线虫虫株接种雪松等寄主后的组织病理学变化     

贲爱玲  郑敬荣  韩正敏  曾腓力  续晨 《东北林业大学学报》2012,40(8):47-51

用来自日本和中国的几个松材线虫虫株,分别对黑松、马尾松和雪松进行接种,接种后分离树体内的线虫,并观察树体的组织细胞变化。研究结果表明,2个日本虫株均能使黑松、马尾松和雪松发病并枯死,而中国线虫虫株仅能够使黑松和马尾松发病枯死,不能使雪松致病。接种后不同时间分离线虫,比较线虫在寄主体内的数量消长情况。发现凡接种发病死亡的,其体内线虫数量最多;发病但没有死亡的,其体内线虫数量也较多;中国虫株接种的雪松,一直没有表现任何症状,其体内也分离到了一定数量的线虫。接种后组织病理学变化表明,细胞和组织变化与线虫的移动和扩散有关。黑松和马尾松,接种日本和中国浙江松材线虫虫株后,72 h时皮层和韧皮部的薄壁细胞变形、死亡普遍存在,树脂道泌脂细胞和木射线细胞均遭到线虫破坏。144 h后,皮层、韧皮部、木质部和髓心大量细胞死亡,形成空洞,管胞中可见线虫活动。而对于雪松,接种日本松材线虫虫株后,皮层、韧皮部和形成层细胞死亡,树脂道泌脂细胞和木射线细胞死亡,有少量代谢物聚集。中国松材线虫虫株接种后,初期皮层、韧皮部细胞变形并破坏;但是,细胞的破坏只局限在小范围内。后期皮层、韧皮部细胞被破坏,但形成层完整,木射线和管胞基本完好。  相似文献
