Viability of a Freshwater Mussel (Elliptio complanata) as a Biomechanical Filter for Aquaculture Ponds I: Clearance Rate of Chlorophyll-α

The production and livelihood of aquaculture facilities depend on increased growth of species being harvested. Only 15%-25% of nitrogen and phosphorus are retained in farmed fish even when all feed is consumed. In both marine and freshwater aquaculture systems, bivalves have proven to be an inexpensive method for controlling algal growth through suspension feeding. With 25% of the native U.S. freshwater mussel species under federal protection, their use in aquaculture ponds could lead to further propagation and restoration of natural populations. Elliptio complanata is an important species in Delaware rivers and connected estuaries; a recent two-year study by the United States Geological Survey found that 98% of mussels found in the Delaware River were Elliptio complanata. The objective of this study was to calculate the clearance rate of E. complanata in a laboratory study. This would help us determine if mussels can serve as an addition to chemical and mechanical filtration regiments and thrive in an aquaculture setting. Using feeding chambers we investigated the effect of E. complanata on algae grown from an aquaculture pond and on a cultured alga over a four-hour period. Temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH were monitored, and samples were than analyzed for total chlorophyll-α. The average of both the single cell using Chlorella vulgaris and mixed assemblage treatments chlorophyll-α clearance rate was 0.187 liters per hour per mussel. Prior to this experiment, these mussels were held for a period for two months in the holding system in the laboratory. The resulting low clearance rate as compared to the previous studies in the field is possibly due to the stress from holding these mussels. However, our study demonstrated that mussels have the potential to be used in an aquaculture setting and/or recreational ponds to help reduce algae populations that can occur as a result of eutrophication.     

鱼蚌混养对池塘水质、藻相结构及三角帆蚌生长的影响

2012年4月26日—2012年12月12日通过在鲢鳙鱼养殖池塘中放养不同密度的三角帆蚌,研究不同三角帆蚌放养比例对鲢鳙鱼养殖池塘中水质、藻相结构及三角帆蚌生长的影响。实验中,鲢鳙放养比例统一为3∶7,总密度为1.5尾/m3。三角帆蚌放养密度则设置4个水平,分别为单养鲢鳙鱼池塘(0只/m3),低密度三角帆蚌混养池塘(0.8只/m3),中密度三角帆蚌混养池塘(1.0只/m3)和高密度三角帆蚌混养池塘(1.2只/m3)。结果显示,混养三角帆蚌池塘的水化指标(TP、PO4-P、NH3-N、NO2-N和NO3-N)均显著低于单养鱼池塘。中密度三角帆蚌混养池塘除NH3-N和化学需氧量(COD)与低密度三角帆蚌混养池塘无显著差异外,其他各项水化指标均显著低于其他3个池塘,并且极显著低于单养鲢鳙鱼池塘。单养鲢鳙鱼池塘藻类平均密度均极显著高于鱼蚌混养池塘,其中在鱼蚌混养池塘中浮游植物密度与三角帆蚌密度成负相关关系。单养鲢鳙鱼池塘的浮游植物生物量均极显著低于中、高密度鱼蚌混养池塘,并且显著低于低密度混养池塘。浮游植物生物量与三角帆蚌密度成正相关关系,鱼蚌池塘中绿藻和裸藻的生物量在养殖过程中上升显著。低、中密度三角帆蚌混养池塘三角帆蚌存活率均显著高于高密度三角帆蚌混养池塘;低密度混养池塘中蚌湿重、壳长及壳宽相对增长率均为最大,显著高于中、高密度三角帆蚌混养池塘。研究表明,养鱼池塘混养三角帆蚌不仅能改善养殖池塘的水质,还能控制藻类数量,促使绿藻和裸藻等大型藻类的生长,提高养殖水体浮游植物的生物量总量,最终还能有效提高三角帆蚌的存活率及生长率。从改善水质,藻相结构,蚌成活率及生长等指标角度考虑,在鲢鳙鱼养殖池塘中,三角帆蚌最佳放养密度为1.0只/m3。     

A Survey of Water Quality Characteristics of Effluent from Hawaiian Aquaculture Facilities

Ten water quality parameters were measured in influent and effluent water at 11 aquaculture facilities in Hawaii. The data were grouped into four categories based on the types of organisms cultured: freshwater fish, freshwater prawn, marine fish, and marine shrimp. Within each category, concentrations of most parameters were lognormally distributed and spanned one to two orders of magnitude. Geometric mean concentrations of suspended materials, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and pigments were highest in effluent from freshwater prawn ponds and lowest in marine fish pond effluent. Nitrate/Nitrite and total ammonia concentrations were higher in fish pond effluent than in crustacean pond effluent. Parameter concentrations were generally higher in effluent than in influent water, with freshwater fish and prawn ponds exhibiting the greatest increases in suspended materials and pigments. In contrast, nitrate/nitrite concentrations were lower in effluent than in influent waters. These data provide a basis for analyzing the environmental impacts of warm-water aquaculture effluent discharges.     

Bacterial composition,abundance and diversity in fish polyculture and mussel–fish integrated cultured ponds in China

Bacterial community and abiotic environmental parameters in twelve freshwater aquaculture ponds were analysed. According to the major component of stocked animals, the ponds were grouped into four types: black carp Mylopharyngodon piceus, largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides, yellow catfish Pelteobagrus fulvidraco and pearl mussel Hyriopsis cumingii ponds. Each type of pond was stocked with three species of Chinese carps (silver carp, bighead carp and gibel carp) to form a unique mode of fish polyculture or mussel–fish integrated culture. The bacterial composition was identified using 16S rDNA sequencing. Totally, 3701 and 11 150 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified from the water and sediment samples respectively. The number of OTUs, abundance‐based coverage estimator, Chao1 index and Shannon diversity index were lower in the water column than in the sediment, suggesting that diversity and stability of bacterial community were higher in the sediment. In the water column, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes dominated at the phylum level, and 26 dominant genera were identified. In the sediment, Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Bacteroidetes, Acidobacteria and Nitrospirae dominated at the phylum level, and 25 dominant genera were identified. Bacterial compositions between the ponds with different aquaculture modes were similar at the phylum levels, but varied at the genus levels. The bacterial composition in the ponds was correlated with hardness, ammonia and total nitrogen in the water column. This study indicates that the type of aquaculture mode is a factor regulating the microbial community, which provides an insight towards microbial management through probiotic manipulation in pond culture.     

三角帆蚌对综合养殖水体水质及鱼蚌生长的影响

在草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idellus)养殖池中进行鱼蚌综合养殖试验,以探究三角帆蚌(Hyriopsis cumingii)吊养密度和深度对水质、鱼和蚌生长的影响。试验共分4个处理组,三角帆蚌放养模式分别为对照组0只/m^3(C)、水下40 cm处单层吊养9只/m^ 3(D-6)、水下40 cm处单层吊养18只/m^3(D-12)、水下40 cm和80 cm处双层吊养18只/m^ 3(S-12)。结果显示:试验期间,各组透明度和溶氧均随时间的延长呈现下降趋势。吊养组(D-6、D-12、S-12)TN、NH+4-N和COD的平均含量均低于C组。各组TP平均含量无显著差异。吊养三角帆蚌后草鱼的成活率和增重率显著提高,其中D-12组鱼和蚌的存活率和增重率最高。同等三角帆蚌密度下,单层吊养(D-12)的水质化学指标、鱼和蚌的存活率和增重率均优于双层吊养(S-12)。从改善水质、鱼蚌生长情况等指标考虑,在草鱼养殖池中,三角帆蚌最佳吊养密度和深度分别为18只/m^3和40 cm。     

不同鱼类和采样时间的养殖池塘环境微生物群落研究

微生物群落是养殖池塘生态系统重要的组成部分。本研究在不同月份采集尼罗罗非鱼和斑点叉尾鮰池塘水体样品,分析水样中的硝酸盐氮、亚硝酸盐氮、氨氮、总氮和总磷等理化指标,利用Biolog-Eco微平板技术分析水体中微生物对各类碳源代谢的平均颜色变化率,利用高通量测序技术分析水体中的菌群结构,以期了解养殖鱼种类和季节对养殖池塘环境及菌群结构的影响。结果表明：冬季淡水养殖池塘水质和菌群结构不同于其他季节,养殖鱼类种类对池塘水体理化指标和水体微生物菌群结构的影响不大。不同采样时间的池塘水体理化指标差异显著,同一采样时间不同养殖鱼类池塘水体理化指标之间无显著差异。其中,1月尼罗罗非鱼养殖池塘水样中的NH4-N含量高于其他月份,显著高于4月和7月的水样(P<0.05)；1月TP含量显著高于1月、4月和7月(P<0.05)。1月斑点叉尾鮰养殖池塘水样中的TP和NO₃-N含量显著高于其他三个月份(P<0.05)。Biolog-ECO微平板技术检测到尼罗罗非鱼和斑点叉尾鮰养殖池塘水样中的微生物群落对碳水化合物和氨基酸的利用能力较强,对酚胺类化合物的利用能力较弱,4月斑点叉尾鮰养殖池塘水体微生物对碳源的利用率高于尼罗罗非鱼养殖池塘。高通量测序结果发现厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)和拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)是尼罗罗非鱼和斑点叉尾鮰养殖池塘水体中的绝对优势菌门。hgcI clade、CL500-29 marine group和C39等参与氮磷循环的菌属为淡水池塘养殖水体中的主要菌属。本研究结果为了解淡水养殖环境中微生物群落结构与变化规律、更有针对性的构建淡水养殖池塘尾水生态化处理方法提供科学依据。     

Comparison of bacterial communities in channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus culture ponds of an industrial ecological purification recirculating aquaculture system

The industrial aquaculture pond system has gradually replaced the use of traditional earthen pond, as it causes less pollution and is more economical. In this study, an industrial ecological purification recirculating aquaculture system consisting of the water source pond, high‐density culture ponds, a deposit pond, and ecological purification ponds for channel catfish cultivation was established. Twelve water samples from different ponds were sequenced, and the bacterial communities were analysed. The abundances of Cyanobacteria and Merismopedia varied in different functional ponds of the system. The water quality was stable after two months of cultivation at 1.89 ± 0.22 mg/L total nitrogen, 1.1 ± 0.08 mg/L NH₄‐N and 0.43 ± 0.1 mg/L total phosphorus. The fish weight increased in a nearly linear manner, reaching 237.63 ± 23.8 per fish at day 120. An analysis of the environmental parameters, water quality and fish weight suggested that the system had an effective water purification process. Canonical correspondence analysis showed that the community was affected at the genus and phylum levels by different environmental parameters. We identified several dominant beneficial bacteria with nutrient removal abilities. Overall, our results demonstrated that the ecological purification recirculating aquaculture system had notable effects on water quality improvement and promoted changes in bacterial populations. These results provide important information on the microbial ecology of pond industrial eco‐aquaculture systems.     

Influence of pond fertilization and feeding rate on growth performance, economic returns and water quality in a small-scale cage-cum-pond integrated system for production of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.)

The effects of pond fertilization and feeding rate on growth, economic returns and water quality were investigated to develop a low‐cost cage‐cum‐pond integrated system for production of Oreochromis niloticus (L.). Hand‐sexed male fingerlings averaging 19±0.39 and 32±0.69 g were stocked in cages and open ponds at 150 fish cage^?1 and 2 fish m^?2 respectively. Fish were cultured for 114 days in five triplicate treatments. Cages were installed into ponds and caged fish were fed a 24% protein diet at 3% (T1) and 6% (T2) body weight day^?1 (BWD) without pond fertilization, and 6% BWD with pond fertilization (T3). The open water in the fourth treatment (T4) was not stocked but contained caged fish, which were fed 6% BWD for the first 57 days followed by 3% BWD for the remaining period. Ponds in the control (T5) had no cages and were neither fertilized nor open‐pond fish fed. Feeding rate and pond fertilization significantly (P<0.05) affected fish growth, profitability and water quality among treatments. Fish growth, feed utilization, fish yield, water quality and profits were significantly (P<0.05) better in T3 than the other treatments. It was concluded that fish production and economic returns were optimized at 6% BWD in fertilized ponds.

Differential effects of age-structured common carp (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Cyprinus carpio</Emphasis>) stocks on pond invertebrate communities: implications for recreational and wildlife use of farm ponds

Sustainable development of common carp Cyprinus carpio pond fisheries in Europe postulates their multifunctional use, integrating exploitation of aquaculture resources with recreational services and maintenance of high levels of local biodiversity. Age classes of farmed carp are grown separately and pond ecosystems may be differently affected by different ontogenetic stages of fish. To examine these relationships, a study was conducted on spring and summer diet of carp, invertebrate abundance and community structure, and water quality characteristics in ponds stocked with three carp age classes in SE Poland. With the exception of young-of-the-year fish in spring, benthic dipterans prevailed in the diets of all carp age classes and their consumption increased from spring to summer. Zooplankton featured in the diet of carp only in spring. Medium- and large-sized cladocerans predominated among microcrustaceans found in the guts of one- and two-year-old carp. Consequently, in summer, total biomass of medium- and large-sized cladoceran grazers was substantially lower in ponds stocked with older-age fish than in ponds used for production of 1-summer-old fingerlings. The relatively sparse submerged vegetation cover and low water transparency in ponds with older fish stocks compared to ponds with young-of-the-year carp indicate a transition to a turbid water state mediated by a trophic cascade mechanism in the presence of older-age fish. Densities of water-column macroinvertebrates decreased with the age of carp in the ponds. These results suggest that non-aquaculture use of carp ponds should be diversified according to their environmental quality. Fingerling rearing ponds are more suitable for environmentally friendly multifunctional use than ponds with older stocks.     

Ecology of Blue-Green Algae in Aquaculture Ponds

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) in the genera Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, Microcystis, and Oscillatoria often form extensive and persistent blooms in freshwater aquaculture ponds. Bloom-forming cyanobacteria are undesirable in aquaculture ponds because: 1) they are a relatively poor base for aquatic food chains; 2) they are poor oxygenators of the water and have undesirable growth habits; 3) some species produce odorous metabolites that impart undesirable flavors to the cultured animal; and 4) some species may produce compounds that are toxic to aquatic animals. Development of cyanobacterial blooms is favored under conditions of high nutrient loading rates (particularly if the availability of nitrogen is limited relative to phosphorus), low rates of vertical mixing, and warm water temperatures. Under those conditions, dominance of phytoplankton communities by cyanobacteria is the result of certain unique physiological attributes (in particular, N₂ fixation and buoyancy regulation) that allow cyanobacteria to compete effectively with other phytoplankton. The ability to fix N₂ provides a competitive advantage under severe nitrogen limitation because it allows certain cyanobacterial species to make use of a source of nitrogen unavailable to other phytoplankton. The ability to regulate cell buoyancy through environmentally-controlled collapse ad reformation of intracellular gas vacuoles is perhaps the primary reason for the frequent dominance of aquaculture pond phytoplankton communities by cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria that can regulate their position in the water column gain a distinct advantage over other phototrophs in poorly mixed bodies of water. In addition to the physicochemical interactions that influence phytoplankton community dynamics, cyanobacterial-microbial associations may play an important regulatory role in determining community structure. Cyanobacteria are always found in close association with a diverse array of microorganisms, including eubacteria, fungi, and protozoans. These associations, which in the past have often been viewed as antagonistic, are increasingly seen as mutualistic and may function in a positive manner during bloom development.     

Seasonal dynamics of fish assemblage in a pond canal

The annual dynamics of fish assemblage in a pond-connecting canal of a South Moravian pond aquaculture facility was studied to reveal potential assemblage effects on pond stocks and vice versa. The species richness of fish assemblage and seasonal dynamics of its development were predominantly dependent upon the fish stock of the interconnected ponds (particularly due to escapees during the period of pond harvesting), which contributed to a considerable increase of commercial fish species occurrence. Using a seasonal parameter, the season proved to have a major impact on fish assemblage dynamics (r = −0.71, P < 0.001). Spring samples were dominated by commercial fishes of aquaculture origin (mainly Cyprinus carpio). Occurrence of several fish species originating from the wild (bleak, Alburnus alburnus, chub, Leuciscus cephalus and roach, Rutilus rutilus) was also reported. The pond canal was found to be an important reservoir site of persistent survival and potential subsequent spreading of some undesirable alien fishes such as topmouth gudgeon (Pseudorasbora parva) and gibel carp (Carrasius auratus). Moreover, more attention should be paid to the potential negative impacts of all fishes of aquaculture origin upon the natural ecosystem and to the adverse effects due to the immigration of wild fish into aquaculture pond farming units.     

Chemical Characteristics of Bottom Soils from Freshwater and Brackishwater Aquaculture Ponds

Soil chemical analyses were conducted on samples from 358 freshwater fish ponds and 346 brackishwater shrimp ponds. Freshwater ponds were located in Honduras, Rwanda, Bhutan, and the United States. Ponds in the United States were in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and South Carolina. Brackishwater ponds were in Thailand, Ecuador, Philippines, and Venezuela. Soils of freshwater and brackishwater ponds did not differ greatly in average concentrations and concentration ranges for carbon, nitrogen, calcium, and pH. Concentrations of copper and barium tended to be higher in freshwater soils than in brackishwater ones. All other measured chemical constitutents tended to be more abundant in the soils of brackishwater ponds than in those of freshwater ponds. For the most part, ranges of pond soil chemical properties were similar to those of terrestrial soils, with freshwater pond soils resembling terrestrial soils from humid areas and brackishwater soils being similar in many respects to soils of arid regions. However, some brackishwater pond soils were highly acidic, acid-sulfate soils. Data were arranged into concentration categories (very low, low, medium, high, and very high) to facilitate comparisons of the present data set with other data on soil chemical properties for aquaculture ponds. All ponds included in the present study were used for aquaculture, showing that it is possible to rear fish and shrimp across an extremely wide range of soil chemical properties.     

Analysis on individual growth of juvenile carpet shell clams, Tapes decussatus (L.), in three different rearing conditions employed in the Ebro's Delta, Spain

The culture of the carpet shell clams. Tapes decussatus (L.), a high-priced clam is still a very recent activity. Three common methods of culture, culture park. polyculture ponds and trays inside a tank, were tested to assess which one gave better growth. Mean weights, length and width were recorded in order to determine non-isometrical growth. The highest percentage mean weight gain and specific growth was observed for the carpet shells in the polyculture pond (89 x ^10-3 mm day^-1 versus 2.2 x 10^-3 and 3.3 x 10^-3 mm day^-1 in the park and the aquaria, respectively). Despite the lower temperatures, water fertility favoured faster growth of phytoplankton, and therefore, of clams in the pond cultured shells. It is concluded that growth in polyculture ponds with fish and shrimps produces the best results and management.     

Growth and condition index of mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis in experimental integrated aquaculture

Integrating mussel and finfish aquaculture has been recognized as a way to increase profits and decrease environmental impacts of finfish aquaculture, but not enough is known about the effects of finfish aquaculture on mussel growth. Here we present a pilot study aimed at determining how distance from finfish aquaculture affects mussel growth. To this end, we measured growth and condition index of mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) at three different distances (0, 60 and 700 m) from finfish aquaculture in the eastern Adriatic Sea. There was a statistically significant difference in growth of tagged mussels with respect to site. Average measured lengths of mussels at sites 1, 2 and 3 after the 10 months of the experiment were 57.60, 62.73 and 58.66 mm. Mussels grew fastest from March to May, and slowest from July to September, regardless of their position. Condition index showed spatial and temporal variations with higher values during fall and winter (∼23), and lower values during spring and summer (∼20). Our results show that production cycle in areas traditionally considered suboptimal for aquaculture can be equivalent to the cycle in areas traditionally considered optimal for mussel aquaculture if mussel aquaculture is integrated with finfish aquaculture.     

Effects of feeding frequency, moist and dry feeds on the growth of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus Lacépède and on pond water quality

To examine the effects of different feeding frequencies, moist and dry feeds on the growth of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus Lacépède and on water quality of freshwater ponds, two experiments were conducted. In one experiment, fish stocked at the same densities were subjected to three different feeding regimes using equal quantities of feed. Water quality was monitored and fish growth in the different treatments was compared. To determine the effects of moist and dry feeds, fish growth and water quality in one set of ponds fed with 5% body weight of dry feed were compared to those in another set of ponds stocked at the same rate but fed with 5% body weight of moist feed. Feeding once a day produced the greatest weight gain but fish fed once on alternate days had the best feed conversion, which was associated with pond water that had the highest dissolved oxygen. This suggests that feeding once on alternate days could be adopted as a strategy for feeding fish under unfavourable conditions. Water quality of ponds holding fish fed dry feed was better than that of ponds holding fish fed moist feed, as indicated by oxygen, carbon dioxide and ammonia contents. A highly significant difference in growth (P < 0.01) was found between fish fed moist and dry with feeds: fish performed better when fed with dry feeds.     

Estimation of Oxygen Transfer Rates for Mechanical Aerators in Brackishwater Aquaculture Ponds

Oxygen transfer rates for mechanical aerators are usually determined by standard aeration tests conducted in concrete tanks. Results from standard tests are then extrapolated to field application of the aerators in aquaculture ponds, but these extrapolations have not been verified. In this study, oxygen transfer rates were estimated for propeller-aspirator-pump aerators deployed in brackish water aquaculture ponds under normal pond conditions. Estimation was accomplished by fitting the Whole Pond Respiration Diffusion (WPRD) model to nighttime observations of dissolved oxygen concentration for ponds in which artificial aeration had been initiated during the night. Application of this new technique revealed that oxygen transfer rate determined from a standard aeration test was similar to that estimated from trials in aquaculture ponds. Preliminary results suggest that oxygen transfer rates were higher when the aerator was placed in the deep end of the ponds than when the aerator was situated in the shallow end. Aeration efficiencies ranged from 1.45 to 1.8 kg O ₂ per kW-hour.     

Phytoplankton succession in intensive marine shrimp culture ponds treated with a commercial bacterial product

Succession of phytoplankton dominance was studied in shrimp culture ponds treated with commercial bacterial products. Diatoms were dominant and the cyanobacteria were absent in both treated and control ponds at the beginning of the culture period. After 34 days, the diatoms significantly decreased whereas cyanobacteria increased in both ponds. Chlorophyll a increased from a mean of 35.56 mg m^?3 in the first phase to 186.00 mg m^?3 in the final phase, and from 42.12 mg m^?3 to 242.81 mg m^?3 in the treated and control ponds respectively. Cyanobacteria were significantly higher in the control compared with the treated ponds during the final phase of the culture. Algal bioassay showed that the addition of nitrogen either alone or with silica to pond water significantly increased the specific growth rate of Chaetoceros calcitrans. The specific growth rate of Oscillatoria sp. significantly increased when a combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon was added to the pond water. Addition of silica seemed to depress the growth rate of Oscillatoria sp. Nutrient enrichment should be minimized and the supply of nitrogen and silica should be adequate for promoting the growth of beneficial phytoplankton in aquaculture systems.     

池塘养殖水体中土著反硝化细菌的分离与初步鉴定

池塘养殖水体水质恶化问题日益突出,尽管已有各种商品化微生态制剂,但水质净化修复效果始终未得到有效提高。通过采用定向分离、筛选、扩繁来自原生境的土著有益菌的方法进行生物修复,从而提高养殖废水的净化修复效果;该方法具有针对性强、效果佳、安全性高、成本低以及持续活性时间长、无二次污染等优点。2016年9月,从山西省运城黄河滩涂水产养殖主产区养殖中后期的池塘水体中定向分离筛选得到1株土著反硝化细菌,命名为YJ-1,使用奈氏试剂和格利斯试剂对其反硝化能力进行检测。结果显示,奈氏试剂显示黄色,格利斯试剂显示绛红色,说明在细菌培养24h后发酵液中产生了少部分的铵离子和较多的亚硝酸盐,菌落具有反硝化功能。经16SrDNA序列扩增与测定,片段长度为1 441bp。无根系统发育树分析显示,YJ-1与产酸克雷伯氏杆菌(Klebsiella oxytoca)的同源性最高,YJ-1的分离打破了现有微生态制剂成分大多数为各种商品菌的局势;在水产微生态制剂制备过程中定向加入土著反硝化细菌,可有效降低养殖水体中氨氮与亚硝酸盐含量、减少鱼体发病率;反硝化细菌在水产养殖水质净化、城市污水处理中具有较大的应用前景,本研究为其他土著有益菌的分离、筛选、鉴定及应用提供了可借鉴的思路。     

熵权法模糊物元模型在养殖水质评价中的应用

为客观综合评价养殖水体质量,利用熵确定水质指标权重,结合物元分析理论及贴近度的概念,构建养殖水质复合模糊物元模型,对2015—2019年监测的上海地区635批次养殖水样进行地表水环境质量等级分类。水质监测结果显示,池塘水体的pH、总磷、高锰酸盐指数、As(砷)和叶绿素a平均含量显著高于引水河道的(P<0.05),硝酸盐氮、Zn(锌)和石油类的平均分布显著低于后者(P<0.05),其他指标的平均分布差异不显著(P>0.05)。不同养殖品种池塘水体间,淡水鱼塘水体中氮、磷、有机质等相关指标的平均含量最高,蟹塘水体pH均值最高。熵权法模糊物元模型评价结果表明,在养殖水体水质指标中pH的权重最高,其次为高锰酸盐指数、总氮和氨氮,这4项合计权重超过0.5;89.29%的鱼塘、87.91%的虾塘和75.83%的蟹塘水样水质类别属于或优于地表Ⅲ类,相关河道水样水质满足地表Ⅲ类水质标准的样品占比达98.72%。整体上,上海地区的养殖水质满足地表水环境功能要求。
