夏季鲆人工育苗技术研究

1噬菌蛭弧菌微生物生态制剂的研究历程 1979年，我国首次开展对噬菌蛭弧菌（以下简称蛭弧菌）的研究。研究中发现蛭弧菌对许多动物（包括人体）和植物的致病菌，如霍乱弧菌、不凝集弧菌、伤寒沙门菌、副溶血弧菌、福氏志贺菌及大肠杆菌、嗜水气单胞菌、鳗弧菌、溶藻弧菌、荧光假单胞菌等均具有显著的裂解作用。中国水产科学研究院黄海水产研究所、中国海洋大学、上海水产大学、江苏省海洋渔业研究所等单位的研究证明，蛭弧菌对水生动物养殖中常见的副溶血弧菌、溶藻弧菌等革兰氏阴性菌的裂解率可达97．33％。     

广西沿海文蛤及其生境中细菌菌群的初步调查

对广西沿海文蛤及其养殖场的细菌菌群用ＶＩＴＥＫ微生物自动分析仪进行了初步检测，发现文蛤体内有腐败假单胞菌（Ａｌｔｅｒｏｍｏｎａｓｐｕｔｒｅｆａｃｉｅｎｓ）、河弧菌（Ｖｉｂｒｉｏｆｌｕｖｉａｌｉｓ）、副溶血弧菌（Ｖ．ｐａｒａｈａｅｍｏｌｙｔｉｃｕｓ）、溶藻弧菌（Ｖ．ａｌｇｉｎｏｌｙｔｉｃｕｓ）、非发酵性革兰氏阴性芽胞菌（ＮｏｎｆｅｒｍｅｎｔｉｎｇＧｒａｍ－ｎｅｇａｔｉｖｅＢａｃｉｌｌｕｓ）、假单胞菌属（Ｐｓｅｕｄｏｍｏｎａｓｓｐｐ．）以及一些未知菌。从海水中亦经常检测到腐败假单胞菌、溶藻弧菌、河弧菌、温和气单胞菌（Ａｅｒｏｍｏｎａｓｓｏｂｒｉａ）等细菌。分析表明，副溶血弧菌可能为文蛤的一种病原菌。药敏试验显示．上述所有细菌几乎都对环丙沙星、庆大霉素和氯霉素敏感。     

凡纳滨对虾血蓝蛋白的细菌凝集活性

以凡纳滨对虾（Litopenaeaus vannarnei）为研究对象，运用亲和层析、PAGE、SDS-PAGE、Western-blotting和细菌凝集实验等方法探索凡纳滨对虾血蓝蛋白的细菌凝集活性。结果发现，血蓝蛋白对副溶血弧菌（Vibrio parahaemolyticus）、溶藻酸弧菌（Vibrio alginolyticus）、河弧菌（Vibrio fluvialis）、哈维氏弧菌（Vibrio harveyi）、嗜水气单胞菌（Agromona hydrophila）和金黄色葡萄球菌（Stphylococcus aureus）等6种虾类致病菌具有凝集活性，其凝集活性大小为0．27-1．08mg／L，其中对副溶血弧菌和溶藻酸弧菌凝集活性最大，是哈维氏弧菌的4倍。在此基础之上，选取α-D-葡萄糖、D-半乳糖、D-木糖、D-山梨糖、蔗糖、麦芽糖、α-D-乳糖、甘露醇和N-乙酰神经氨酸等9种糖考察其对血蓝蛋白细菌凝集活性的影响。结果显示，血蓝蛋白的细菌凝集活性可被α-D-葡萄糖和N-乙酰神经氨酸所部分抑制和全部抑制，其最低抑制浓度范围为50～100mmol／L。由此推测，血蓝蛋白确实具有细菌凝集活性，这对进一步研究血蓝蛋白的抗菌机理具有重要意义。     

日本对虾血清凝集素的基本物理化学性质

日本对虾（Penaeus japonicus)亲虾体长19-24.5cm，取其血清。7种动物血液取自大白鼠、小白鼠、豚鼠、兔、鸡、羊、人。结果表明：（1）虾血清分别在28、37、56℃时热处理30min，其凝集活性不变，在70℃和80℃热处理30min后凝集活性完全丧失。（2）血清在pH和5-7.5的TBS缓冲液中凝集活性稳定，在pH为8-9之间凝集活性迅速下降。（3）凝集抑制实验表明半乳糖、甘露糖、L-阿拉伯糖、D-葡萄糖胺、N-乙酰-D-葡萄糖胺等5种糖对血清凝集素都有较强的抑制作用，尤其D-葡萄糖胺和N-乙酰-D-葡萄糖胺的抑制作用更强。（4）交叉吸附实验结果显示日本对虾血清对大白鼠、小白鼠的红细胞有较强的亲和性。

中华绒螯蟹血清凝集素的生物学特性

将中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)血清凝集素与动物(鳖、鲫鱼、鸡、鸽、兔、鼠、人A、B、O型)红细胞和细菌(八叠球菌、嗜水气单胞菌、短小芽孢杆菌、大肠杆菌、葡萄球菌、假单胞菌和拟态弧菌)进行凝集反应。结果表明,中华绒螯蟹血清凝集素有明显的选择性,与小白鼠红细胞和八叠球菌的凝集活性最高(P<0.01)。血清凝集价在蟹个体之间变化范围较大,性别之间无显著差异(P>0.05)。10 mmol/L的CaCl2和300 mmol/L的NaCl不影响凝集素与小鼠红细胞和细菌的凝集活性,600 mmol/L的NaCl可降低其活性。pH 5~9不影响蟹凝集素活性,但400 mmol/L的EDTA在pH 7.0可部分抑制其活性,100 mmol/L的EDTA在pH 5.0则可完全抑制其活性。在细菌刺激下,中华绒螯蟹血清凝集素活性在2 d达到峰值,随后逐步缓慢下降。接种细菌(八叠球菌)的数量(3.0×109~9.0×109)显著影响血清凝集素的产生(P<0.05),而环境水温度(18~30℃)和蟹体质量(35~80 g)的影响则不显著(P>0.05)。     

环境胁迫对大菱鲆C-型凝集素功能的影响

大菱鲆C-型凝集素(SmLec1)是一种重要的免疫因子,本实验通过分析其活性特点以及环境胁迫对其表达调控的影响,探讨其在大菱鲆先天免疫应答过程中的潜在功能以及养殖环境中的应用。实验利用原核表达系统进行重组表达,并通过纯化获得19 ku重组目的蛋白;活性分析结果显示,SmLec1对所选6种细菌的凝集作用存在差异,其中对鳗弧菌和爱德华氏菌具有明显的凝集作用;在选取的8种糖类中,木糖、果糖、蔗糖、乳糖和甘露糖能够抑制SmLec1的凝集活性;在理化因子(pH、温度)中,pH7和温度37°C时对SmLec1的凝集活性产生抑制;鳗弧菌感染实验显示,感染6 h时肝组织的SmLec1表达量明显上升,在12 h时达到最高值,随后有所下降;温度胁迫时肝组织的SmLec1 m RNA表达量受到温度的影响显著,在19°C开始升高,22~27°C呈降低趋势,其他组织变化不显著。盐度胁迫对SmLec1在各盐度的表达量变化不显著。研究表明,SmLec1能够抑制鳗弧菌的感染,其表达受到温度的影响,本研究为进一步明确SmLec1蛋白的抗菌机理和探索对大菱鲆疾病的免疫学防治途径提供科学依据。     

溶藻弧菌外膜蛋白（Va-OMP）的免疫原性及免疫保护性

利用初步制备的溶藻弧菌外膜蛋白（outer membrane protein of Vibrio alginolyticus, Va-OMP）、溶藻弧菌蛋白分子量58 kD外膜蛋白（Va-OMP58）和溶藻弧菌（Vibrio alginolyticus, Va）灭活菌苗、溶藻弧菌脂多糖（lipopolysaccharides of Vibrio alginolyticus, Va-LPS）菌苗等进行主动保护性和被动保护性的实验比较，VaOMP、Va-OMP58免疫组小鼠免疫后用活菌攻击，免疫保护率为62.5%～86.7%,而Va-LPS组和Va灭活菌苗组的免疫保护率为50%～62.5%，对照组的免疫保护率仅为6.7%。用不同抗血清免疫小鼠，活菌攻击后，Va-OMP组存活率达到53.3%和66.7%，VaOMP58组次之，存活率为40%和50%，Va灭活菌组的存活率为33.3%和46.7%，对照组为13.3%。与对照组相比较，Va-OMP组差异较显著，保护效果较好。溶藻弧菌外膜蛋白和蛋白分子量58 kD外膜蛋白的保护性效果高于溶藻弧菌灭活菌苗和溶藻弧菌脂多糖的保护性效果，证明外膜蛋白（outer membrane protein, OMP）具有较强的免疫原性。迟发性超敏反应试验也证明，OMP能诱发变态反应，间接证明OMP具有较强的引起细胞介导免疫反应的能力。因此实验证明，Va-OMP、Va-OMP⁵⁸是能在小鼠产生体液免疫和细胞介导免疫的保护性抗原。     

杂色鲍幼苗“急性死亡脱落症”病原菌分析

从“急性死亡脱落症”发病期的杂色鲍幼苗体内和病苗附着的薄膜上，共分离到4株优势菌，即NA0301、NA0302、NA0303和NA0304。经人工浸泡感染实验证明，从病幼苗体内和苗附着的薄膜上分离到的优势菌株NA0301和NA0302是杂色鲍幼苗的致病菌，它们均为革兰氏阴性、短杆状、极生鞭毛，能运动。常规生理生化和Biolog细菌鉴定系统测试结果表明，菌株NA0301与溶珊瑚弧菌（Vibrio coralliilyticus）的亲缘关系最近，而菌株NA0302与溶藻弧菌（Vibrio alginolyticus）的亲缘关系最近。为了进一步确定它们的分类学地位，分别测定了溶珊瑚弧菌和溶藻弧菌的16S rDNA序列，分析相关细菌相应序列的同源性，并构建系统进化树。结果表明，菌株NA0301与溶珊瑚弧菌的亲缘关系最近，菌株NA0302与溶藻弧菌的亲缘关系最近。因此，菌株NA0301和菌株NA0302分别鉴定为：溶珊瑚弧菌和溶藻弧菌。[中国水产科学，2006，13（4）：655—661]     

Association between the interannual variation in the oceanic environment and catch rates of bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) in the Atlantic Ocean

The environmental processes associated with variability in the catch rates of bigeye tuna in the Atlantic Ocean are largely unexplored. This study used generalized additive models (GAMs) fitted to Taiwanese longline fishery data from 1990 to 2009 and investigated the association between environmental variables and catch rates to identify the processes influencing bigeye tuna distribution in the Atlantic Ocean. The present findings reveal that the year (temporal factor), latitude and longitude (spatial factors), and major regular longline target species of albacore catches are significant for the standardization of bigeye tuna catch rates in the Atlantic Ocean. The standardized catch rates and distribution of bigeye tuna were found to be related to environmental and climatic variation. The model selection processes showed that the selected GAMs explained 70% of the cumulative deviance in the entire Atlantic Ocean. Regarding environmental factors, the depth of the 20 degree isotherm (D20) substantially contributed to the explained deviance; other important factors were sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height deviation (SSHD). The potential fishing grounds were observed with SSTs of 22–28°C, a D20 shallower than 150 m and negative SSHDs in the Atlantic Ocean. The higher predicted catch rates were increased in the positive northern tropical Atlantic and negative North Atlantic Oscillation events with a higher SST and shallow D20, suggesting that climatic oscillations affect the population abundance and distribution of bigeye tuna.     

Rare serotype occurrence and PFGE genotypic diversity of Streptococcus agalactiae isolated from tilapia in China

Previously, we reported 10 PEGE types of 85 tilapia Streptococcus agalactiae(GBS), which shifted from Streptococcus iniae in China, by using PEGE method. Presently, larger and more representative tilapia GBS were isolated, for the ?rst time in China, to characterize their serotypes and genetic diversities more precisely than had done before. 168 GBS strains were distributed in ?ve provinces of China, in which Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan were the major ones, holding36.9%(62/168), 37.5%(63/168) and 19.6%(33/168), respectively. Serotypes, Ia, Ib and III, were observed in these strains and the most predominant one was Ia(95.2%), which mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan. Ia initially occurred in 2009, it shoot up to 32.1% in 2010,but decreased to 16.1% in 2011 before went up to 45.2% in 2012. Ib sporadically occurred during2007–2011, III onlyoccurred in 2012. 14 different PFGE types, including 4 new types(N, O,P and Q), were observed, in which B, D, F and G were the predominant types, holding 83.9%(141/168) of the total GBS strains. Ia corresponded to 11 PFGE types(A–H, N–P), in which type D predominated(51%). Ib represented 3 genotypes(I, J and Q) and III harbored only 2genotypes(N and F). Type N and Fsynchronously presented in Ia and III. In summary, the genetic diversity of tilapia GBS varied by serotypes and changed with geographical locations and years.Although Iastillpredominated, new rareserotypeIII alreadyoccurred in China.     

Evaluation of a Fast Method Based on the Presence of Two Restriction Sites in the Mitochondrial ND5 (mt ND5) Gene for the Identification of Scomber Species

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the suitability of a method based on the presence of two restriction sites (for Hae III and Hindf I) in the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (mt ND5) gene to identify Scomber species. The evaluation was performed on 144 reference and market samples by sequencing of the entire 505-bp fragment of the mt ND5 gene and of a 464-bp fragment of the Kocher fragment of the cytochrome b gene (mt Cytb). Sequence analysis of any of the two fragments allows the identification of each of the four Scomber species, but S. japonicus and S. colias had the same restriction sites at the ND5 amplicon and would not have been differentiated by this analysis. Similarly, loss of the Hae III site in some S. scombrus individuals would have misidentified them as not being Scomber. All the market products were correctly labeled except one acquired in Spain labeled as originating in the Atlantic and containing S. japonicus.     

Growth performance,digestive enzyme activity and immune response of Japanese sea bass,Lateolabrax japonicus fed with fructooligosaccharide

In this experiment, a feeding trial was performed to determine the effects of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) on growth performance, digestive enzyme activity and immune response of Japanese sea bass, Lateolabrax japonicus juveniles (initial weight 38.3 ± 0.5 g), and the fish were examined following feeding with six levels of FOS (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 g/kg) for 28 days. Significant enhancement of weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) was found in fish fed 1 g/kg FOS incorporated diets (p < .05), while the feed conversion ratio (FCR) in the 1, 2 g/kg FOS groups reduced significantly compared with the control (p < .05). Besides, the crude lipid in the 4, 6 g/kg FOS groups increased significantly compared with the control (p < .05). On the other hand, the erepsin and lipase activities significantly elevated in intestine of fish fed 2 g/kg FOS (p < .05) and the lysozyme activity in serum of fish fed 2 g/kg FOS were significantly higher than that in the control (p < .05). Moreover, the alkaline phosphatase activities in serum of fish fed 0.5, 1, 2 g/kg FOS were significantly higher than in control (p < .05). Regression analysis showed that the relationships between dietary FOS levels and either SGR, FCR, erepsin or lysozyme activities were best expressed by regression equations, and the optimal inclusion levels are 1.37, 1.80, 3.06, 3.11, 1.93 and 1.80 g/kg for SGR, FCR, erepsin, lipase, lysozyme and total superoxide dismutase activities, respectively. Overall, this study revealed that FOS incorporated diets could beneficial for L. japonicus culture in terms of increasing the growth, digestion and immune activities. Under the present experimental condition, the optimal supplementary level of FOS in the diet of L. japonicus is 1–3 g/kg.     

Purification and partial characterization of GtHs (cfLH and cfFSH) from Indian walking catfish (Clarias batrachus) (L.) and development of a homologous ELISA for cfLH

Two gonadotropins (GtH; Qa and Qb) were purified by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography from the pituitaries of Indian walking catfish (Clarias batrachus). The presence of GtH during purification was assessed by in vitro oocyte maturation and in vivo steroidogenic activity, and their identities were determined by elution profiles, molecular weight, biological activities and yield. The molecular weights of Qa and Qb were 37 and 42 kDa, respectively, and composed of distinct subunits (Qa: 20 and 14 kDa and Qb: 26 and 18 kDa). Polyclonal antibodies raised against Qa immunostained Qa, Qb and pituitary GtH cells. A competitive Qa‐ELISA was developed whose sensitivity was 6.25 ng mL^?1 (1.25 ng well^?1) with intra‐ (3.5%) and inter‐ (12.4%) assay coefficients of variation. Displacement curves parallel to the standard were obtained with plasma and pituitary extracts of catfish, Qb and carp GtHII. The assay was validated by measuring the plasma Qa levels after LHRH treatment and in relation to ovarian growth in the female catfish during different reproductive phases. Based on the results, Qa and Qb corresponded to fish LH and FSH respectively. The findings will increase the knowledge of the mechanisms controlling fish reproduction and identification of sensitive phases in fish in captivity for hormonal manipulation.     

Controlled infection of Poecilia reticulata Peters (guppy) with Tetrahymena by immersion and intraperitoneal injection

Tetrahymena is a protozoan parasite, which infects guppy, Poecilia reticulata Peters, and causes substantial economical losses in commercial farms worldwide. Studies of guppy infected by Tetrahymena require standardized infection protocols. The LD50 for Tetrahymena infection of guppies by intraperitoneal (IP) injection was calibrated, and the level obtained was 946 parasites per fish. Guppy infection with Tetrahymena by immersion, imitating the natural route of infection via the integument, was studied under normal or stress conditions. Exposure to cold and netting (CNI) and to cold only (CI) followed by immersion exposure to 10 000 Tetrahymena per mL resulted in 22.5% and 19.2% mortality, respectively, as compared to 14.2% and 10% in groups that were netted only (NI) or non‐stressed (I). Histopathology revealed that immersion infection resulted in a systemic infection. Lysozyme levels, measured 3 weeks after infection, were significantly higher in the CNI group (288 μg per mg protein) compared with CI‐, NI‐ and I‐treated groups (94.5, 64 and 62.3 μg mg^?1, respectively). There was no evident parasite immobilization activity in body homogenates, suggesting no development of acquired immunity. Re‐infection by IP injection revealed no increase in protection in any of the treatment groups, mortality range of 56.3–75%, higher than in the non‐exposed control (40.6% mortality).     

The optimal dietary protein level of juvenile silver sillago Sillago sihama at three dietary lipid levels

A 5 × 3 factorial growth trial was conducted to evaluate optimal dietary protein and lipid levels (dietary protein level, DP; dietary lipid level, DL) for juvenile Sillago sihama (S. sihama) (2.0 ± 0.02 g, initial weight). Fish were fed 15 diets containing 5 DPs (350, 400, 450, 500 and 550 g/kg) and 3 DLs (60, 90 and 120 g/kg) for 8 weeks. The interaction between proteins and lipids significantly influenced the feed conversion ratio, condition factor, body composition, antioxidant indices and lipase activity (p < .05). DP 450 g/kg showed the highest average final body weight. DPs 500 and 550 g/kg significantly decreased the protein efficiency ratio (p < .05). DL 120 g/kg showed the highest percentage weight gain. The low feed conversion ratio was found in diets P45L12, P55L9 and P55L12. Diet P45L12 showed high superoxide dismutase activities. DP 450 g/kg showed the lowest average malondialdehyde content. Lipase activity was increased by increasing DP (p < .05) with a fall at DP 550 g/kg. Under the present experimental conditions, the optimal DP for S. sihama was 450 g/kg under the DL 120 g/kg.     

Vitamin D3 and the renal handling of phosphate in American eels

Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D₃) increased plasma inorganic phosphate concentration in American eels,Anguilla rostrata, in a dose-dependent fashion. This response was more marked in phosphate loaded fish. In control as well as phosphate loaded eels the hyperphosphatemic response to D₃ was associated with a sharp reduction in renal phosphate clearance relative to¹⁴C-polyethelene glycol (PEG) clearance. Glomerular filtration and urine flow rates were not affected by D₃. As renal phosphate clearance, even in phosphate loaded eels, never significantly exceeded that of PEG, it is suggested that D₃ reduced the relative clearance rate of phosphate by increasing renal phosphate reabsorption rather than by reducing the tubular secretion of phosphate.
