翘嘴鳜pck1及t1r1基因DNA甲基化在其转食人工饲料中的作用

为探究翘嘴鳜(Siniperca chuatsi)磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧基酶(phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, PEPCK)及鲜味受体(taste receptor type 1 member 1, T1R1)基因 DNA 甲基化在其转食人工饲料中的作用, 实验检测了易驯食(可转食人工饲料)及不易驯食翘嘴鳜(只接受活鱼)的脑、肝脏和尾鳍中 pck1 和 t1r1 基因的表达及启动子区域 CpG 岛的 DNA 甲基化水平。结果显示, pck1 基因主要在肝脏中表达(P＜0.05), 且组织表达水平与 DNA 甲基化水平密切相关但并不完全一致; 在易驯食组肝脏中的 pck1 表达水平显著低于不易驯食组(P＜0.05), 且在–2169 nt 位点的甲基化水平显著高于不易驯食组(P＜0.05)。t1r1 基因主要在脑中表达(P＜0.05), 而甲基化水平在不同组织间无显著性差异 (P＞0.05); 在易驯食组脑 t1r1 表达量显著低于不易驯食组(P＜0.05)且甲基化水平在两个组之间没有显著性差异 (P＞0.05)。研究表明, pck1 基因启动子区域的 DNA 甲基化可能通过调控 pck1 基因的表达, 促进翘嘴鳜转食人工饲料; 而 t1r1 基因的甲基化可能不是调控其表达以促进翘嘴鳜转食的主要方式。     

5-HT1A受体在翘嘴鳜中的表达及DNA甲基化分析

动物可通过学习记忆适应复杂的生存环境, 而 5-HT1A 受体在学习记忆中发挥重要作用。为探究 5-HT1A 受体在翘嘴鳜(Siniperca chuatsi)驯化过程中摄食及食性巩固的作用, 本研究采用同源序列比对的方式, 在翘嘴鳜基因组获取了 htr1a 基因的序列, 通过序列比对和进化树分析, 发现其有两个亚型, 分别命名为 htr1aa 和 htr1ab, 其编码的氨基酸序列与斑马鱼(Danio rerio)、青鳉(Oryzias latipes)具有较高的同源性, 相似度都大于 70%, 进化关系上与狼鲈(Dicentrar chuslabrax)最为相近, 表明翘嘴鳜 htr1a 基因在进化中具有较高的保守性。此外, 本研究还分析了翘嘴鳜 htr1a 基因的表达和 DNA 甲基化。与经过一次驯化组相比, 在二次驯化组中 htr1aa 基因表达显著降低 (P＜0.05), 同时 DNA 甲基化也显著降低, 而 htr1ab 基因在两组中表达没有显著变化(P＞0.05)。而与摄食相关的食欲基因 pomc 的表达, 二次驯化比一次驯化组显著降低(P＜0.05)。以上结果说明, 翘嘴鳜食性驯化过程中, 可能通过 htr1aa 基因启动子区域的甲基化状态改变 htr1aa 的转录水平, 从而影响学习记忆通路中关键因子抑制食欲因子 pomc 的表达。由此认为 htr1aa 的 DNA 甲基化可能在翘嘴鳜摄食相关基因表达上发挥重要调控作用。     

活饵与饲料投喂下鳜胃饥饿素的表达变化比较

为探讨饲料代替活饵投喂对鳜(Siniperca chuatsi)胃饥饿素(ghrelin)的调控作用, 本研究通过转录组测序和基因组测序数据匹配, 首次获得了鳜(Siniperca chuatsi)胃饥饿素前体基因 DNA 序列, 对其胃中分泌细胞进行定位。 诱食试验模拟鳜进食前看到食物但不能摄食, 进食试验模拟鳜正常摄食。研究检测了诱食、进食后胃饥饿素基因和蛋白表达水平变化。结果表明, 鳜胃饥饿素前体由信号肽、成熟肽(胃饥饿素)和 C-端肽 3 部分构成;前体基因含有 4 个外显子和 3 个内含子, 属于Ⅱ型基因型; 编码 107 个氨基酸, 成熟肽胃饥饿素由 20 个氨基酸构成, 活性中心为 GSSF。免疫组化显示胃饥饿素阳性细胞位于胃腺中。诱食试验中, 活饵组胃饥饿素 mRNA 和蛋白表达水平均显著升高; 而饲料组胃饥饿素基因 mRNA 和蛋白表达水平未发生显著变化, 且显著低于活饵组(P＜0.05)。进食实验中, 活饵组进食后 0 h, 胃饥饿素 mRNA 和蛋白表达水平显著上升(P＜0.05), 进食后 2 h 下降至摄食前水平 (P＜0.05), 后续无显著变化(P＞0.05); 饲料组进食后 0 h 胃饥饿素 mRNA 表达水平未出现显著变化(P＞0.05), 蛋白水平呈波动变化, 进食后 2 h 及后续胃排空时间内皆无显著变化(P＞0.05)。综上, 鳜胃饥饿素细胞位于胃腺位置, 参与调节摄食活动, 进食前上升, 进食后下降, 而饲料投喂下 ghrelin 对摄食调节作用明显减弱, 研究结果可为鳜饲料养殖提供科学参考。

将平均体质量为(7.16±0.07)g的大菱鲆幼鱼分别饲养在不同盐度(12、18、24、30和36)的水体中60 d,以探讨盐度对幼鱼特定生长率、生长激素、成活率、摄食率、饲料效率和肌肉营养成分的影响。结果表明:大菱鲆幼鱼在盐度分别为18、24、30和36的水体中均生长良好,成活率为100%,特定生长率分别为1.97、1.87、1.87和2.00 %/d;在盐度为12的水体中,幼鱼的成活率和特定生长率均显著低于盐度30组(对照组)(P<0.05),分别为80.77%和1.45 %/d。生长激素为0.41～1.66 ng/mL时,盐度18和36组均显著高于盐度30组(P<0.05),而盐度12组显著低于盐度30组(P<0.05)。饲料效率为1.12%～1.38%时,盐度18、24和36组均显著高于盐度30组(P<0.05),而盐度12组显著低于盐度30组(P<0.05)。摄食率为1.19～1.28 %/d时,盐度12和24组均显著低于盐度30组(P<0.05),其它盐度组之间均无显著差异(P>0.05)。幼鱼特定生长率随血清生长激素和饲料效率的升高而增大,与盐度的相关性不显著。幼鱼肌肉中的粗蛋白质含量随水体盐度的升高而降低,除盐度12和18组之间无显著性差异外(P>0.05),其余各盐度组之间均存在显著性差异(P<0.05);盐度12组幼鱼肌肉中的粗脂肪低于其它盐度组,灰分显著高于其它盐度组(P<0.05),其余各盐度组之间粗脂肪和灰分均无显著性差异(P>0.05);各盐度组之间幼鱼肌肉中的水分均无显著性差异(P>0.05)。综上所述,适当降低盐度可改善大菱鲆幼鱼生长和肌肉品质,其适宜盐度为18。     

光照对短须裂腹鱼生长及生理影响研究

光照是影响鱼类活动、摄食和生长的主要环境因子之一。本文分别以野生和养殖短须裂腹鱼(Schizothorax wangchiachi)为研究对象,研究了短须裂腹鱼对光谱、光强选择趋向性及光谱对短须裂腹鱼生长、生理的影响。结果显示,黄光、红光和绿光都对短须裂腹鱼起到吸引作用;利用黄光进行光照强度选择性研究发现,在低光照强度范围(22.6~64.7 lx),短须裂腹鱼对光强的趋向性没有显著差异(P>0.05);为期56 d的养殖实验发现,不同的光照颜色显著影响短须裂腹鱼的生长率和存活率(P<0.05),黄光和自然光处理组的养殖效果无显著性差异;无论在生长率和应激水平,均优于蓝光环境,蓝光提升了短须裂腹鱼的应激水平,导致存活率下降。研究结果可为水利工程建设过鱼设施诱鱼光源的选择提供科学依据。     

不同循环投喂模式对半滑舌鳎的生长、体成分组成、代谢和能量收支的影响

高脂日粮添加胆汁酸对大口黑鲈生长性能、脂代谢和胆汁酸代谢的调节作用

为探究胆汁酸对高脂饲料饲喂下大口黑鲈(Micropterus salmoides)生长生理、脂代谢和胆汁酸代谢的影响, 配制基础饲料(脂肪含量 10.6%, 对照组 C)、高脂饲料(脂肪含量 17.5%, 高脂组 HF)、高脂饲料+300 mg/kg 胆汁酸 (HFB1)、高脂饲料+600 mg/kg 胆汁酸(HFB2)、高脂饲料+900 mg/kg 胆汁酸(HFB3) 5 种试验饲料。将 750 尾大口黑鲈随机分为 5 组, 每个组设置 3 个平行缸, 每缸 50 尾, 进行 7 周养殖实验。结果表明: 高脂饲料显著降低大口黑鲈生长性能, 而添加胆汁酸后可改善高脂饲料对大口黑鲈生长的不利影响。饲喂高脂饲料组血浆和肝脏中甘油三酯 (TG)含量显著升高(P＜0.05)。添加胆汁酸后, 肝脏中 TG 含量显著降低(P＜0.05), 而血浆中 TG 含量在胆汁酸添加量为 900 mg/kg 时显著下降(P＜0.05)。肝脏和血浆中总胆酸(TBA)含量随着胆汁酸添加量的升高而显著增加(P＜0.05)。 胆汁酸添加量为 600 mg/kg 时, 肝脏中法尼醇 X 受体基因(fxr)表达量上调(P＜0.05), 胆汁酸合成和转运相关基因 (cyp7a1、bsep、asbt)均显著上调(P＜0.05)。同时对脂代谢相关基因表达进行检测, 发现 fxr 诱导 shp 的表达, 抑制肝脏中 srebp1 及脂肪合成相关基因(fas、acc2)的表达。此外, 胆汁酸增加肝脏中脂肪分解和 β 氧化相关基因(lpl、 hl、hsl、cpt1、acox1)的表达水平。综上所述, 高脂饲料中添加胆汁酸可改善大口黑鲈生长性能, 通过 FXR/SHP/ SREBP1 信号通路调节脂质代谢, 并促进胆汁酸合成和循环, 本研究为进一步研究胆汁酸在鱼类中的营养调控作用奠定了基础。     

工厂化养殖密度对黄条鰤生长和生理特性的影响

养殖密度是水产养殖管理中一项非常重要的参数, 适宜的养殖密度能够降低养殖动物的应激胁迫水平, 促进其健康、快速生长。为探究黄条鰤(Seriola lalandi)在陆基工厂化养殖条件下的最适密度, 本研究对 1 龄黄条鰤 [(565.83±70.22) g]开展为期 60 d 的养殖实验, 共设置 10 尾/m³ (低密度组)、20 尾/m³ (中密度组)和 30 尾/m³ (高密度组) 3 个密度组。实验过程中测量并计算包括增重率、特定生长率、肥满度和肝体指数在内的生长指标, 并检测血液生理、血清生化、肝脏和肾脏组织的非特异性免疫酶活性等指标。结果表明, 中、高密度组黄条鰤的增重率、 特定生长率在第 60 天时均显著低于低密度组对应的数值(P＜0.05); 在 3 个密度组中, 低密度组的特定生长率在 60 d 时显著高于 30 d 的数值(P＜0.05), 中密度组的特定生长率在 60 d 与 30 d 之间差异不显著(P＞0.05), 高密度组的特定生长率在 60 d 时低于 30 d 的数值, 说明高密度养殖对黄条鰤的生长产生了的胁迫。整个实验过程中, 血清中肾上腺素和皮质醇等的含量在 30 d 和 60 d 时均随养殖密度的增加而显著升高(P＜0.05), 生长激素和类胰岛素生长因子 Ⅰ的含量呈相反趋势; 肝脏和肾脏中超氧化物歧化酶、溶菌酶、谷丙转氨酶、谷草转氨酶、酸性磷酸酶、碱性磷酸酶和丙酮酸激酶的活性在 30 d 和 60 d 时整体呈现随养殖密度的增加而显著升高的趋势(P＜0.05), 说明高密度养殖对黄条鰤的生理造成了胁迫。由此可见, 从生长、生理和生产实践角度综合评价, 中密度(20 尾/m³ )是 1 龄黄条鰤工厂化养殖的适宜密度, 相关研究结果将为黄条鰤工厂化养殖技术进一步完善提供参考。     

植物甾醇对克氏原螯虾生长消化、肠肝形态及抗氧化和免疫水平的影响

本研究旨在探究饲料中添加植物甾醇对克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)生长、消化、抗氧化、免疫及肠肝形态的影响。制备 5 组等氮等脂饲料, 分别为在基础饲料中添加 0% (CON)、0.10% (P1)、0.19% (P2)、0.38% (P3) 和 0.76% (P4)的植物甾醇, 对体均重为(9.37±0.02) g 的克氏原螯虾进行 6 周的养殖实验。结果显示, P1 和 P2 组的增重率、特定生长率显著高于 CON 组(P＜0.05), 且 P2 组实验虾的生长性能最佳。P3 组实验虾肠道蛋白酶活性显著高于 CON 组, 脂肪酶活性显著低于 CON 组(P＜0.05)。P1 组肝胰腺中酸性磷酸酶和碱性磷酸酶活性最高, P2 组血淋巴中酸性磷酸酶和碱性磷酸酶活性最高, 但与 CON 差异均不显著(P＞0.05)。随着植物甾醇添加水平提高, 肝胰腺和血淋巴总超氧化物歧化酶活性与过氧化氢酶活性呈上升趋势, 丙二醛含量呈下降趋势。相较 CON 组, P1 组肠道结构更加健康完整, 植物甾醇水平达到 0.19%及以上时, 克氏原螯虾的肝胰腺与肠道组织形态出现受损状态。 随着植物甾醇水平提高, 肝胰腺的 NF-κB 相对表达水平升高。P1 组 Hsp70 相对表达水平显著高于其他组(P＜0.05)。 研究表明, 本实验条件下添加 0.10%~0.19%植物甾醇可以促进克氏原螯虾的生长消化, 改善肠肝组织形态, 提高克氏原螯虾抗氧化和免疫能力。     

逆流运动训练对多鳞四须鲃摄食、生长和体营养成分的影响

在室内条件下［水温(28?1) ℃］,设置0.7 BL/s和2.0 BL/s 2个流速组以及一个静水对照组,研究了不同逆流运动训练对多鳞四须鲃幼鱼［体质量(75.21?2.82) g］摄食、生长和体营养成分的影响。实验分1~23 d和23~45 d两个阶段,共进行45 d。实验结果表明,多鳞四须鲃平均日摄食率随流速增加而增大,但体长特定生长率、体质量特定生长率和食物转换率均以0.7 BL/s组最高,静水组次之,2.0 BL/s组最低,且三者间差异显著(P<0.05)。不同流速下多鳞四须鲃肌肉水分和灰分含量差异不显著(P>0.05),但随流速增大,多鳞四须鲃肌肉中蛋白质含量增加,而脂肪含量却显著下降。在实验末期,2.0 BL/s流速组的氨基酸总含量(82.63%)、必需氨基酸总含量(34.34%)和鲜味氨基酸总含量(33.50%)均显著高于静水对照组(78.27%,32.6%,30.63%)(P<0.05)。研究表明,较低流速(0.7 BL/s)的运动训练明显促进多鳞四须鲃的生长,提高食物转化率和增加肌肉蛋白质含量,高流速(2.0 BL/s)的运动训练不利于生长,但却能显著提高肌肉必需氨基酸和鲜味氨基酸含量。     

驼背鲈(Chromileptes altivelis)的胚胎发育及仔、稚、幼鱼形态观察

对驼背鲈(Chromileptes altivelis)的胚胎发育及仔、稚、幼鱼的形态特征进行了详细的观察与研究,描述了从受精卵到仔、稚、幼鱼各发育期的时间和形态特征变化。结果表明,在水温25-26℃、盐度30的海水中,受精卵历时27 h 25 min完成整个胚胎发育过程,经历从卵裂、囊胚、原肠、神经胚到肌节形成、各器官的逐渐形成、变化、完善等一系列的胚胎发育和变化过程;根据其卵黄囊消长情况、鳞片的覆盖状态、体色发生的不同变化以及第二背鳍和腹鳍的消长,将胚后发育分为仔、稚、幼鱼3个阶段。在水温22-26℃、盐度29-31、DO≥5 mg/L的条件下,2-3 d仔鱼卵黄囊消失,开口摄食;生长发育至31 d,仔鱼已变态进入稚鱼期;培育至57 d,稚鱼完成变态,成为幼鱼。第二背鳍棘和腹鳍棘的生长与收缩等石斑鱼类早期发育的共性生长特征及其体表特性体色变化特征为驼背鲈胚后发育过程中最明显的特征。     

Anguilla huangi Teng, Lin, and Tzeng, 2009, is a junior synonym of Anguilla luzonensis Watanabe, Aoyama, and Tsukamoto, 2009

Anguilla luzonensis and A. huangi were each described in 2009 using eels obtained from northern Luzon Island. We examined the taxonomic status of these two groups of eels using morphological and molecular genetic characters. There were no significant differences in two vertebrae counts between eels of A. luzonensis and A. huangi. Mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA and cytochrome b genes sequences were obtained and compared among 28 specimens of A. luzonensis, the holotypes of A. luzonensis and A. huangi, and one specimen of the other 15 anguillid species. The specimens of A. luzonensis exhibited almost identical sequences, including the holotype, with only a few site differences, and the genetic difference between the holotypes of A. luzonensis and A. huangi was within the range of differences of specimens of A. luzonensis. The other anguillid species were genetically very different from A. luzonensis and A. huangi, although A. interioris is a closely related species. It is clear that A. luzonensis and A. huangi are the same species, and according to the principle of priority in zoological nomenclature, A. luzonensis Watanabe, Aoyama, and Tsukamoto, 2009 is the valid species name, and A. huangi Teng, Lin, and Tzeng, 2009 is a junior synonym of A. luzonensis.     

Effect of Salinity on Embryonic Development,Hatchability, and Growth of African Catfish,Clarias gariepinus,Eggs and Larvae

Abstract

Effects of salinity on embryonic development and growth of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, eggs and larvae were studied. Eggs were incubated at 27-29°C in 2,4,6,8, and 10 ppt sodium chloride. Rate of embryonic development was delayed in all salt solutions by 15, 15,28 and 30 minutes, in 2,4,6, and 8 ppt sodium chloride, respectively, when compared with the control group (0% salt); total mortality occurred at 12 hours after gastrula stage in the 10 ppt concentration. Percentage hatching was 45.1,47.7, 59.5,49.2, and 26.6% while percentage deformity was 10.4, 16.1, 52.0, 28.6, and 71.6% in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 ppt salt treatments, respectively. There were significant differences (P <0.05) in the hatching percentage and in deformity percentage between 4, 6, and 8 ppt. Rate of yolk absorption was significantly faster in the control and 2 ppt salt treatments, but slower in 4, 6, and 8 ppt. Rate of increase in length was slower with increasing salinity. The optimum salinity for African catfish eggs and was between 0-2 ppt and acceptable up to 6 ppt. The results suggest that increasing salinity delayed hatching and development of African catfish eggs and larvae, respectively, as well as increased the deformity of the larvae.     

Effect of Temperature on Growth,Energy Budget,and Physiological Performance of Green,White, and Purple Color Morphs of Sea Cucumber,Apostichopus japonicus

As an intertidal species, Apostichopus japonicus is subject to diel and seasonal temperature fluctuations. Color variation is a distinct characteristic of A. japonicus, and a new color morph, purple A. japonicus, was recently found on the coast of Rushan, Weihai City. This study was conducted to compare the performance of green, white, and purple color morphs of A. japonicus at different water temperatures to help improving aquaculture technology and management. In this study, green, white, and purple color morphs of juvenile A. japonicus (1.5 ± 0.1 g) were cultured at 10, 14, 18, 22, and 26 C for 60 d, according to the suitable temperature range for sea cucumber growth. Temperature was shown to have a significant effect on growth, energy budget, and physiology of sea cucumbers (P < 0.05). Specific growth rates, feed conversion efficiencies, and the proportion of energy allocated to growth of all three color morphs were optimal at 18 C. Activities of the enzymes related with oxidative stress, immune response, and digestion were determined. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and trypsin activities generally reached a maximum in all three color morphs at 18 C. The purple color morph of A. japonicus was higher in growth rate, food conversion efficiency, and proportion of energy allocated to growth than green and white color morphs at 18 and 22 C, consistent with its higher trypsin and SOD activity, indicating the mutual effect of growth and physiology. At 18, 22, and 26 C, the green color morph had the highest level of lysozyme activity and purple color morph had the lowest, indicating possible infection by external pathogens of green color morph, which might be caused by high temperature. These results suggested that the optimum temperature for culture of the three color morphs was approximately 18 C, the purple had a better adaption to high temperature, and the green and white color morphs may be more susceptible to thermal stress than the purple color morph.     

Influence of density and background color to stress response, appetite, growth, and blind-side hypermelanosis of flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus

To study the relevance of density and background color to stress response, appetite, and growth in olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, we reared two duplicate groups of juveniles (total length 4.46 ± 0.06 cm, body weight 0.77 ± 0.03 g) in flat-bottom aquaria with dark-green (control) and white backgrounds for 120 days. We measured cortisol and glucose levels in blood and calculated the daily food intake, food conversion efficiency, survival rate, and growth rate. To study the relevance of density and background color to malpigmentation (hypermelanosis) on the blind side, we also compared malpigmented ratios and prepro-melanin-concentrating hormone mRNA activities in the brain between the dark-green and white background groups, as well as between a relatively lower density (60 days) and higher density (120 days). Although we measured relatively higher levels of cortisol and glucose in the white background group and over 200 % of coverage area [PCA]), the bright background failed to induce an acute stress response of more than 20 ng/ml cortisol and 40 mg/dl glucose both in 60 days and 120 days, but did enhance appetite and growth. Also, a bright background color delayed hyperpigmentation only at a low density below 200 % PCA, but did not inhibit malpigmentation at a high density of more than 200 % PCA. In addition, below 200 % PCA, expression of MCH mRNA was significantly higher in the white group, but the level was reversed and was lower in the white group at more than 200 % PCA. In conclusion, although did not induce a high stress response over 200 % PCA, the bright background color resulted in a moderate increasing of cortisol level in blood below 20 ng/ml and enhanced appetite and growth. Moreover, at a density below 200 % PCA, the bright color inhibited hypermelanosis with high MCH mRNA activity, but at more than 200 % PCA did not inhibit malpigmentation, and the fish showed low MCH mRNA activity, indicating that the inhibitory effect of a bright background color on hypermelanosis is density dependent.

Surface disinfection of Pacific threadfin, Polydactylus sexfilis, and amberjack, Seriola rivoliana, eggs

The effects of exposing the eggs of Pacific threadfin and amberjack eggs (AEs) to different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide for 5 min on hatch rate and survival were assessed in a series of experiments using a petri dish model rearing system. Despite significant inter‐batch variation in hatch rate, it was shown that eggs of both species could be safely exposed to up to 11 340 mg L⁻¹ H₂O₂ for 5 min. Exposure to 34 230 mg L⁻¹ H₂O₂ for 5 min was shown to be lethal to AEs at a late stage of development. In two further experiments, it was demonstrated that Pacific threadfin eggs were resistant to all tested concentrations of a range of polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine (PVP‐I) concentrations and contact times (up to 1000 mg L⁻¹ PVP‐I for 10 min). The level of bacteria adhering to the eggs of both species was highly variable. Where eggs were heavily colonized (>10⁴ cfu egg⁻¹), hydrogen peroxide concentrations of at least 11 340 mg L⁻¹, or PVP‐I concentrations higher than 500 mg L⁻¹ for 10 min, were required for effective sterilization. In less colonized batches, rinsing in sterile seawater or exposure to lower (550 mg L⁻¹) concentrations of H₂O₂ was sufficient to result in high apparent levels of surface sterility (<1 cfu egg⁻¹).     

Effects of Dietary Savory and Myrtle Essential Oils on Growth,Survival, Nutritional Indices,Serum Biochemistry,and Hematology of Farmed Rainbow Trout,Oncorhynchus mykiss,Fry

The effects of diets containing different levels of essential oils from savory Satureja khuzestanica Jamzad and myrtle Myrtus communis L and an immunity complement were investigated on growth, survival, nutritional indices, serum biochemistry, and hematology of farmed rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, fry (n = 4500; 5 ± 2 g). The essential oils were dosed as 300 and 500 mg/kg diet. After 60 d, the fish fed 300 mg/kg of the essential oils showed the highest counts of white blood cells (P < 0.05). The same treatment revealed the greatest levels of hematocrit, total protein, and albumin, but glucose and cholesterol values significantly decreased compared with the control (P < 0.05). Feeding fish with 300 mg/kg of the essential oils led to highest records of specific growth rate and survival rate but the lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR), and those fed with immunity complement attained the lowest values of growth parameters. The fry fed with immunity complement and 300 mg/kg of myrtle essential oil achieved the highest and lowest FCR values, respectively. The results indicate that dietary supplementation of 300 mg/kg of the above essential oils exert positive impacts on the growth performance, feeding efficiency, and hematological factors in O. mykiss.     

Effects of levamisole,echinacea, and thyme oral administration on growth factors,blood parameters,and immunity in beluga,Huso huso

A total of 180 fish (95.50 g) were fed with 0.1% levamisole, 0.5% thyme, and 0.5% echinacea crude extract for 60 days. The control group received no stimulant. The results of growth parameters indicated a significant positive effect of levamisole in comparison with the control group, though it was not significantly different from echinacea and thyme treatments (P > 0.05). No mortalities were observed in the treatments. Feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio did not differ significantly between the treatments. The highest numbers of white and red blood cells and the greatest amounts of hemoglobin and hematocrit were detected in the levamisole treatment, showing significant differences with the other groups in the percentage of hemoglobin only (P < 0.05). The highest levels of MCH and MCHC were also measured in the levamisole treatment. Differential count of white blood cells revealed no significant differences in neutrophil and lymphocyte levels with the control. There was a significant increase in the percentage of eosinophil in the levamisole treatment alone. No significant differences were recorded in total protein, albumin, and aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase enzymes. Levamisole treatment displayed the highest activities of glutathione peroxidase and lysozyme as well as the greatest amount of immunoglobulin. So 0.1 levamisole yielded better results in the growth, blood, and immunity parameters and can be used as a stimulant without injuring body organs.     

盐化幅度、速度及方式对凡纳滨对虾仔虾生长和存活率的影响

本研究测定了盐化幅度(3/d、6/d、9/d、12/d和15/d)、盐化速度(1、3、6、12和18 h/次)和盐化方式(前期盐化、中期盐化、后期盐化和间隔盐化)与凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)仔虾生长发育、活力和存活率的关系。研究结果显示,不同盐化幅度、盐化速度和盐化方式均显著影响盐化标粗过程中仔虾的生长发育、活力和存活率(P<0.05)。综合考虑生长性能、苗种活力和存活率等因素,最适盐化幅度为3~6/d,在该盐化幅度范围内,仔虾存活率可达74.07%~78.83%;盐化幅度超过9/d时,仔虾存活率显著下降(P<0.05),其中,盐化幅度达到15/d时,存活率仅为43.37%。过快的盐化速度导致存活率和活力显著下降,盐化速度>1 h/次时,仔虾死亡率接近50%;随着盐化速度的放缓,仔虾生长速度加快,盐化速度为6~18 h/次时,生长速度维持稳定,日增重量为1.48~1.51 mg。在盐化方式方面,后期盐化和间隔盐化时,苗种的质量和存活率优于前期盐化和中期盐化,仔虾活力表现为间隔盐化>后期盐化>中期盐化>前期盐化。综合考虑,仔虾的最适盐化幅度为3~6/d,最佳盐化速度为6~12 h/次,后期盐化和间隔盐化更有助于仔虾保持较好活力和较高存活率。本研究通过探讨凡纳滨对虾苗种盐化标粗的最适盐化幅度、盐化速度和盐化方式,丰富了凡纳滨对虾高盐环境抗逆性研究,为凡纳滨对虾苗种的盐化标粗生产实践提供了理论支持。
