饵料种类与密度对方斑东风螺Babylonia areolata(Lamarck)幼虫生长影响的实验研究

笔者开展了不同饵料种类与密度对方斑东风螺面盘幼虫生长与成活率的影响的研究。实验结果:以单种单胞藻投喂方斑东风螺幼虫是牟氏角毛藻的效果最好;两种单胞藻混合投喂方斑东风螺幼虫是牟氏角毛藻+湛江叉鞭金藻组合效果最好;任何两种饵料组合均比这两种饵料的单种投喂幼虫生长速度快。牟氏角毛藻以4×104cells/mL的日投饵密度饲养幼虫效果最好;湛江叉鞭金藻和微绿球藻均是以6×104cells/mL日投饵密度饲养幼虫效果最好。     

4种饵料对玉足海参幼体生长和发育的影响

为了解单一饵料或混合投喂对玉足海参(Holothuria leucospilota)幼体生长的影响,采用2种单胞藻(牟氏角毛藻、球等鞭金藻)和2种酵母(酿酒酵母、海洋红酵母)单一或组合搭配投喂玉足海参耳状幼体,测定并比较海参幼体的体长、胃宽、水体腔长、变态成活率等指标。试验结果显示：单一饵料组中,牟氏角毛藻对玉足海参幼体体长的生长及变态存活最有利,而球等鞭金藻对其脏器(胃、水体腔)的发育最有利;综合所有处理组的投喂效果看,混合投喂组比单一饵料组更有利于玉足海参幼体的生长和存活,其中酿酒酵母+海洋红酵母的混合投喂组合得到了最高的体长、胃宽和水体腔长特定生长率,牟氏角毛藻+海洋红酵母投喂组的变态成活率最高,变态发育速度最快。结果表明,在玉足海参幼体培养早期适合以混合酵母为主投喂,后期则可较多投喂牟氏角毛藻和海洋红酵母。     

ω_3HUFA对中华绒螯蟹幼体存活率及体脂肪酸组成的影响

分别以经海水小球藻、牟氏角毛藻和５０ＤＥ－Ｇ强化剂强化的轮虫投喂中华绒螯蟹早期幼体,至Ｚａｏ状Ⅲ期后改喂卤虫无节幼体,探讨了饵料ω－３系列高度不饱和脂肪酸对幼体发育和存活的影响。结果表明：小球藻轮虫组的幼体发育至第Ⅰ期幼蟹的存活率最高,为１２．００％,强化剂轮虫组和角毛藻轮虫组次之,分别为１０．６７％和９．６７％,而酵母轮虫组最低,仅为３．６７％;结合分析Ｚａｏ状Ⅴ期幼体脂肪酸组成可知,幼体发育至第Ⅰ期幼蟹的存活率与其总脂含量和ω－３ＨＵＦＡ含量密切相关,而Ｚａｏ状Ⅴ期幼体总脂含量与ω－３ＨＵＦＡ含量随饵料轮虫总脂和ω－３ＨＵＦＡ含量的增加而提高,表明早期幼体所摄取的ω－３ＨＵＦＡ对后期幼体发育和存活有明显的促进作用。     

牟氏角毛藻的生产性培养技术

牟氏角毛藻(Chaetoceros muelleri)为耐高温单细胞藻类，在泥蚶、牡蛎等贝类育苗生产中，角毛藻作为贝类幼体的优质饵料，与其它单胞藻相比具有耐高温、繁殖速度快、抗污染能力强等优点，所以角毛藻的顺利培养，将是贝类育苗成功的保证。角毛藻的培养方式与其它单胞藻虽有相似之处，但也有不同于其它单胞藻培养的关键技术，笔者通过几年的藻类培养生产实践，总结出牟氏角毛藻大面积培养的一些实用技术，供参考。     

生物饵料在非洲斑节对虾溞状幼体培育中的应用

为研究活体生物饵料在非洲斑节对虾(Penaeus mondon)溞状幼体中的应用效果,试验使用牟氏角毛藻(Chaetocevos mueueri)和经牟氏角毛藻强化的褶皱臂尾轮虫(Brachionus plicatilis)替代商品螺旋藻粉(Spirulina platensis)投喂非洲斑节对虾溞状幼体,试验设置3组:对照组(A_0)采用传统的虾片与商品螺旋藻粉在溞状幼体阶段全程投喂;试验组A_1组以牟氏角毛藻替代商品螺旋藻粉投喂;试验组A_2组以牟氏角毛藻替代商品螺旋藻粉投喂,并在Z_2和Z_3期添加投喂经牟氏角毛藻强化的褶皱臂尾轮虫,每组设3个平行。结果表明:3组间溞状幼体成活率差异显著(P0.05),其中A_2组最高(73.9%),A_0组最低(51.4%);在溞状幼体变态时间上,3组间差异显著(P0.05),其中A_2组变态时间最短。试验表明,活体生物饵料替代商品螺旋藻粉有利于非洲斑节对虾溞状幼体培育,效果显著。     

不同生物饵料组合对脊尾白虾幼体变态发育的影响

本研究以脊尾白虾(Exopalaemon carinicauda)幼体为研究对象,研究了牟氏角毛藻(Chaeroeeros moelleri)、褶皱臂尾轮虫(Brachionus plicatilis)和卤虫(Artemia salina)无节幼体搭配投喂对脊尾白虾幼体的存活率(SR)、变态发育和消化酶的影响。结果显示,单一卤虫组的幼体变态发育速度最快,14 d内全部变态为仔虾,其他3组则需要15 d;单一卤虫组、牟氏角毛藻+卤虫组和轮虫+卤虫组的幼体变态为仔虾时的SR分别为84.33%、84.67%和83.00%,各组间差异不显著(P>0.05);投喂牟氏角毛藻+轮虫+卤虫混合饵料组的幼体在Z5~P阶段大量死亡,变态为仔虾时的SR为35.67%。单一卤虫组投喂的脊尾白虾幼体的胃蛋白酶(1.94 U/mg prot)、脂肪酶(2.35 U/mg prot)和α-淀粉酶(0.13 U/mg prot)活力在4个组中最高,牟氏角毛藻+轮虫+卤虫组的胃蛋白酶(0.08 U/mg prot)、脂肪酶(0.91 U/mg prot)和α-淀粉酶(0.08 U/mg prot)活力在4个组中最低;牟氏角毛藻+卤虫组和轮虫+卤虫组的α-淀粉酶活力均为0.12 U/mg prot,而轮虫+卤虫组幼体的脂肪酶(1.78 U/mg prot)和胃蛋白酶(0.39 U/mg prot)比牟氏角毛藻+卤虫组分别高0.35和0.04 U/mg prot。研究表明,在脊尾白虾育苗过程中,投喂卤虫无节幼体(3~5 ind./mL),能提高幼体SR和加快变态发育速度,同时,在养殖过程中加入一定的牟氏角毛藻可减缓养殖水体恶化的速度。     

合浦珠母贝对不同种类及浓度的单胞藻摄食与消化效果研究

从单胞藻粒径大小、表面结构、生化组成及饵料浓度等角度开展了合浦珠母贝(Pinctada fucata)对不同种类及浓度的单胞藻摄食与消化效果研究。投喂粒径大小相近的牟氏角毛藻(Chaetoceros muelleri)和湛江叉鞭金藻(Dicrateria zhanjiangensis)混合藻,粒径大小不同的亚心形扁藻(Platymonas subcordiformis)和海水小球藻(Marine chlorella)混合藻,用细胞计数法检测剩余混合藻中各单胞藻浓度。分别投喂以上4种不同浓度梯度的单胞藻,观察比较粪便中单胞藻消化状况。结果显示,合浦珠母贝对粒径大小相近的单胞藻没有表现出明显的选择性摄食(P0.05),对粒径较大的单胞藻摄食率明显高于粒径较小的单胞藻(P0.05);随着投喂单胞藻浓度的升高,合浦珠母贝对单胞藻的消化程度降低。     

杂交海胆浮游幼体期的饵料效果研究

采用7种单胞藻饲育杂交海胆浮游幼体以研究其饵料效果。结果表明：简单角刺藻是最佳的饵料品种，牟氏角毛藻稍次之，再次分别为：盐藻，湛江叉鞭金藻。而小新月菱形藻，扁藻，小球藻均不适合作为杂交海胆浮游幼体的饵料。对优选出的几种饵料进行混合投喂时，则以简单角刺藻与盐藻混合的饵料效果最佳。     

褶皱臂尾轮虫培养若干问题探讨

本文就轮虫生产性培养过程中接种密度、投饵量、水质、轮虫生长和营养强化等方面的问题进行探讨,认为:接种密度在用单胞藻培养时应为10～30个/ml,用酵母培养时20～50个/ml;酵母投喂量0 3～0 35g/百万,投喂量不宜过大;酵母投喂的轮虫使用前2d最好用单细胞藻类强化。     

方格星虫幼体饵料研究

以10种饵料投喂方格星虫幼体进行定性和定量试验,实验用的方格星虫幼体是通过人工催产孵化获得。试验结果表明:9种海产单细胞藻类和面包酵母都是方格星虫幼体的良好饵料,其中以扁藻、等鞭金藻、叉鞭金藻、绿色巴夫藻、牟氏角毛藻和三角褐指藻投喂效果最好,星虫幼体日平均生长率达46～52μm,存活率达80%以上。饵料密度对星虫幼体生长及存活的影响明显。饵料密度过低,星虫幼体生长率和存活率都较低;饵料密度过高时,虽然星虫生长率有所提高,但存活率明显下降。扁藻投喂密度以4000～6000cell ml、金藻、角毛藻密度以15000～20000cell ml为宜。初期幼体投喂金藻和角毛藻时,其生长率大于投喂扁藻的生长率;后期幼体投喂扁藻时,幼体生长率反而大于投喂金藻和角毛藻的生长率。因此,初期幼体宜投喂细胞较小的金藻和角毛藻,后期投喂扁藻。     

锯缘青蟹幼体饵料的营养强化

用酵母、水球藻、鱼油强化和豆油强化四种不同方式培养轮虫，再分别投喂锯缘青蟹幼体，分析测定轮虫和体的生化组成，结果显示，（1）不同方式培养的轮虫之间以及摄食这些轮虫的锯缘青蟹幼体之间的蛋白质含量都没有显著差异；（2）轮虫的脂类含量和脂肪酸组成与培养方式密切相关，小球藻轮虫的脂类含量最高，20：5n-3(EPA)占总脂肪酸的比例也最高 ，为18.05%，鱼油轮虫则含有最多的22：6n-3(DHA)，占总脂肪酸3.16%，脂类含量仅次于小球藻轮虫；（3）锯缘青蟹幼体的脂类含量和脂肪酸组成受相应饵料营养成分的影响。另外，幼体培育实验也发现，饵料营养成分影响幼体的存活率，结果表明，提高轮虫的EPA和DHA含量，尤其晨DHA含量，将有利于锯缘青蟹幼体的存活和发育。     

Biochemical composition and fatty acid profile in a strain of the lineage ‘Nevada’, belonging to the Brachionus plicatilis (Rotifera) complex,fed different diets

A strain of the lineage Brachionus ‘Nevada’ was batch cultured with two diets, differing in biochemical composition: baker's yeast (treatment 1), which has higher protein:lipid ratio compared with CULTURE SELCO (treatment 2). The biochemical composition (DNA, RNA, lipid, protein content) and fatty acid profile of rotifers of both treatments was analysed and related to previously published population structure data. CULTURE SELCO‐fed rotifers showed higher DNA, RNA, lipid, n‐3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) average content, compared with yeast‐fed rotifers, which had higher protein content. Rotifer lipid content showed significant diurnal variation in yeast‐fed rotifers. Rotifer lipid and n‐3 HUFA content was associated with reproductive output. DNA and RNA content was related to embryonic development while protein content, to somatic growth and mixis. The saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid rotifer content was stable irrespective of feed, in contrast to eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and DHA. The levels of AA were similar in both rotifer populations, but those of EPA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were about half in yeast‐fed compared with CULTURE SELCO‐fed rotifers. CULTURE SELCO resulted in a temporally stable rotifer lipid profile and a better enriched parthenogenetic population.     

Assessment of marine thraustochytrid <Emphasis Type="Italic">Schizochytrium limacinum</Emphasis> OUC88 for mariculture by enriched feeds

ABSTRACT:   In the present study, Schizochytrium limacinum OUC88, a thraustochytrid with high content of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 n −3), was used as feed for rotifer Brachionus plicatilis and Artemia franciscana . The rotifer and Artemia were harvested at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24-h intervals, analyzed for fatty acid composition, and compared with the control which fed on yeast only. The highest DHA content resulted from an enrichment period of 12 h for both fed organisms, reached 13.4 and 10.9% of the total fatty acids (TFAs) in rotifers and Artemia nauplii, respectively, and the DHA level reduced sharply if enrichment time was longer than 12 h. The pseudoalbinism rate of turbot Scophthalmus maximus juveniles fed enriched rotifers and Artemia nauplii reduced greatly (40% lower than in control group). Thus, enrichment of rotifers and Artemia nauplii by DHA-rich Schizochytrium limacinum OUC88 may provide a practical strategy for feeding fish juveniles in aquaculture.     

Enrichment of Rotifers Brachionus plicatilis with Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid Produced by Bacteria

Abstract— Two bacterial strains, rich in either eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA, 20:5(n-3)] ( Shewanella gel-idimarina ACAM 456) or docosahexaenoic acid [DHA, 22:6(n-3)] ( Colwellia psychroeryrhrus ACAM 605) were tested for their ability to enrich rotifers Erachionus plicatilis in these polyunsaturated fatty acids. Rotifers were exposed for 24 h to each bacterial strain and to a mixture of the two strains. They were then harvested and their fatty acid compositions were analysed and compared to those of rotifers that had been either starved or fed yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae or microalgae Tetraselmis suecica in 2-L glass flasks. Exposure to 1.4 × 10⁹ cells/ml of the EPA-producing bacterium only resulted in rotifer EPA levels increasing from 0.1% to 1.2% of total dry weight (%dw). Similarly, following exposure to 1.0 × 10⁹ cells/mL of the DHA-producing bacterium only, rotifer DHA levels increased from below detection to 0.1% dw. When exposed to a mixture of the two bacterial strains, containing 7.0 × 10⁸ celldml of the EPA producer and 5.0 × 10⁸ cells/mL of the DHA producer, the rotifers'final EPA and DHA levels were 0.5% dw and 0.3% dw respectively. Although feeding strategies need refining, these results show, for the first time, that rotifers can be enriched with DHA from bacteria, and that rotifers can be enriched simultaneously with both DHA and EPA from different bacterial strains.     

Enriching rotifers with “premium” microalgae. Isochrysis aff. galbana clone T-ISO

The effect of semi-continuous culture on the nutritional value of microalgae was tested in the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis in short-term enrichment experiments. Isochrysis aff. galbana clone T-ISO was cultured semi-continuously with renewal rates from 10 to 50% of the volume of the culture per day and used to feed the rotifers. After 24 h, dramatic differences in dry weight and protein, lipid and carbohydrate contents were observed in the rotifers depending on the renewal rate applied to the microalgal culture. Rotifers fed T-ISO cultured with low renewal rates showed low dry weight and organic content, whereas rotifers fed microalgae from nutrient-sufficient, high renewal rate cultures showed higher dry weight and increases up to 60% in protein, 35% in lipid and 100% in carbohydrate contents. Feed conversion rate (FCR) and organic FCR decreased with increasing renewal rates, indicating a more efficient assimilation of the microalgal biomass obtained at high growth rates. The fatty acid profile of rotifers reflected that of T-ISO, with maximum content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), n-3 fatty acids and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) being found in the rotifers fed microalgae from the renewal rate of 40%. Results demonstrate that the biochemical composition of B. plicatilis is strongly modified through the use of semi-continuous cultures of microalgae in short-term enrichment processes. This technique provides an excellent tool to improve the nutritional value of the live feed used in fish larvae cultures.     

Examination of a practical method for zinc enrichment of euryhaline rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis)

Larval growth and survival of marine finfish in mass seed production are affected by the nutritional value of live feeds such as rotifers and Artemia. Thus far, many studies have been conducted to develop effective methods for the enrichment of live feeds with essential fatty acids and vitamins. In this study, a practical method for enrichment of rotifers with zinc was investigated. Changes in the concentrations of other minerals when zinc was added to the rotifer-enrichment tanks were also studied. The mineral composition of rotifers and Chlorella after zinc enrichment revealed that the direct addition of zinc to the culture media was not effective because rotifers cannot efficiently accumulate waterborne zinc. The ability of Chlorella to absorb waterborne zinc is much higher than that of rotifers, and hence, zinc was pre-accumulated in Chlorella, which was then fed to the rotifers. The maximum zinc content of the rotifers was 585.0 μg g^? 1 (dry matter) when the rotifers were enriched with zinc alone. This zinc concentration is comparable to that found in natural zooplankton. In rotifers simultaneously enriched with zinc and n?3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs), the zinc content increased, but the n?3 HUFA content did not. Therefore, separate enrichment with zinc and fatty acids was adopted. The zinc content of rotifers fed zinc-enriched Chlorella was significantly higher than that of rotifers fed unenriched Chlorella. After zinc enrichment, rotifers were enriched with fatty acids, and the docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and n?3 HUFA levels in rotifers were higher than the levels obtained after simultaneous enrichment with zinc and fatty acids. With regard to the concentration of other minerals in rotifers after zinc enrichment, the manganese content tended to decrease when the zinc content increased.The results of this study demonstrated that zinc enrichment of rotifers was successfully performed by using microalgae that had accumulated zinc, and the enrichment of rotifers with fatty acids was also achieved after the completion of zinc enrichment and before feeding the larvae. This method could be utilized for the enrichment of zooplankton with other minerals as well.     

Bacterial colonization of winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus fed live feed enriched with three different commercial diets

The proliferation of bacteria in intensive aquaculture systems may be responsible for poor growth and mass mortality of marine fish larvae. Essential fatty acids provided in the diet could protect larvae by modulation of the immune response via arachidonic acid (AA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus larvae were fed rotifers Brachionus plicatilis enriched with three commercial diets containing different fatty acid profiles. Bacterial colonization on the gills and skin and in the intestinal lumen was evaluated at the end of the rotifer feeding period (day 26), and growth was surveyed until metamorphosis. At 26 days post hatching, larvae fed rotifers containing the higher AA content and with a higher docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to EPA ratio showed better growth and the lowest bacterial colonization of the intestinal lumen compared to larvae fed rotifers with the lowest AA and DHA : EPA levels. AA had been selectively incorporated into the polar lipids of larvae fed the rotifers enriched with the three diets. This is the first study in winter flounder larvae to report a link between different commercial rotifer enrichments and bacterial density in intestinal lumen.     

The Effects of Enriching Live Foods With Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids on the Growth and Fatty Acid Composition of Larval Red Drum Sciaenops ocellatus

Three experiments were carried out to test the effects of enrichment of live food (rotifers) with varying levels of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) on the growth rate and fatty acid composition of red drum larvae. Additionally, the fatty acid compositions of red drum eggs and day-1 larvae were compared. The enrichment techniques were successful in that the levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were elevated in the rotifers fed the enrichment diet. Red drum larvae fed the control rotifers produced the highest growth rate of the three experiments. Larvae fed rotifers with no HUFA supplement (NHUFA) had a significantly lower growth rate than the controls for that experiment. The fatty acid compositions of the eggs and day-1 larvae did not vary significantly and contained high levels of 16:0, 16:1 n-7 and DHA (22:6 n-3). Based on these data, the lack of DHA in the diet significantly reduced the growth rates of larval red drum. The 10-day-old red drum larvae had similar fatty acid profiles at the end of the experiments regardless of the diet they were fed, indicating that dietary inputs have little effect on the fatty acid composition of larvae during the first ten days of growth. Red drum larvae appear to have the ability, though limited, to bioconvert EPA to DHA since there was a significant increase in the levels of DHA from day 1 to day 10 in the NHUFA larvae. However, the efficiency of this bioconversion is not sufficient for optimal growth and supplemental DHA at least to the level found in the control rotifers (0.3–0.4mg/100mg tissue) is necessary to maximize growth. The exact role of EPA could not be determined from this study due to the inability to produce an EPA-free rotifer.     

Effect of different algae used for enrichment of rotifers on growth, survival, and swim bladder inflation of larval amberjack Seriola dumerili

The effect of algae with different DHA contents used for the enrichment of rotifers on the growth performance, survival, and swim bladder inflation of larval amberjack Seriola dumerili was investigated. Rotifers were enriched with freshwater Chlorella vulgaris containing three levels of DHA (rotifer containing DHA 0.04, 0.60, 1.32?g DHA 100?g^?1 DM) and Nannochloropsis (0.04?g DHA 100?g^?1 DM; 2.54?g EPA 100?g^?1DM). The larvae were fed the enriched rotifers in triplicate from 3?days post-hatch for 7?days in static condition. The same algae used for rotifer enrichment were supplied to the larval tanks. Growth and survival rate of fish fed the rotifers enriched with Nannochloropsis were higher than those of fish fed the rotifers enriched with all three Chlorella treatments. Swim bladder inflation was lowest in fish fed the rotifers enriched with Nannochloropsis. The proportion of EPA was higher in fish fed the rotifers enriched with Nannochloropsis, while that of DHA increased proportionally with the DHA levels in the rotifers enriched with Chlorella. These results suggest that rotifers enriched with Nannochloropsis (EPA-rich rotifers) are effective to enhance growth and survival, but DHA instead of EPA is essential to improve the swim bladder inflation in amberjack larvae.     

营养强化的轮虫、卤虫对牙鲆仔鱼的成活、生长及体脂肪酸组成的影响

用3种营养强化剂强化的轮虫和卤虫无节幼体投喂牙鲆仔鱼,研究牙鲆仔鱼的生长、成活、体脂肪酸的组成。结果表明:用强化的轮虫和卤虫无节幼体投喂牙鲆仔鱼,成活率、增重均显著高于对照组(p<0 01),其中V号强化剂的效果最好,成活率为29 34%,比对照组提高100%;增重倍数为217 90,比对照组提高68 61%;这是由于V号强化剂强化的卤虫无节幼体体内含有较多的AA的缘故,饵料中AA含量的提高,可以提高牙鲆仔鱼的成活率、促进其生长。牙鲆摄食强化过的轮虫、卤虫无节幼体后,其EPA、DHA、n-3HUFA、PUFA的含量随着饵料中含量的升高而升高,这也是牙鲆仔鱼生长速度和成活率提高的重要因素之一。
