提高抗寒鲤鱼的起捕率

鲤鱼起捕率低是多年来淡养的一个很难解决的问题。我所为了搞清抗寒和高起捕率的遗传规律，先后进行了柏氏鲤与黑龙江鲤、德国镜鲤、荷包红鲤等的正反杂交。从中选出一组双杂交种 [(柏氏鲤×镜鲤 )F1× (黑龙江鲤×红镜鲤 )F1]，此组种系具有较强的抗寒能力，起捕率却不很高，其起捕率高者为两网 40％左右，为提高起捕率，又以此组鲤鱼与柏氏鲤原种进行回交，得到一组抗寒能力强且高起捕率鲤鱼新品系。 　　1983年我所从云南引进 58尾柏氏鲤亲鱼，采用杂交技术分别与黑龙江野鲤、江鲤和散鳞镜鲤进行正反交，并对其亲和力及后代的抗寒能力…     

黑龙江野鲤的主要经济性状及其遗传资源

本文通过三年试验,测定了黑龙江野鲤的生长、饲养成活率、越冬成活率、抗病力、繁殖力、含肉率、鱼肉成份等主要经济性状。松花江下游野鲤群体生长快于镜泊湖、达赉湖和嫩江的群体。嫩江野鲤(♀)与兴凯湖野鲤(♂)杂交F_1,表现出生长的杂交优势。从鱼苗到性成熟野鲤的饲养成活率明显高于荷包红鲤和德国镜鲤。黑龙江野鲤具有极强的抗寒能力和抗病能力,它的这两个特性可以通过杂交转移给后代。野鲤的繁殖力很高,因此在黑龙江水系中保持较大的群体数量。野鲤的含肉率比其它鲤鱼高:在鱼肉成份中,有较高的蛋白质含量和较低的脂肪,含水量较小,鱼肉品质高。黑龙江野鲤的这些优良经济性状,是鲤鱼遗传改良的重要遗传材料,开发利用后必将产生巨大的经济效益。     

二个鲤鱼优良新品系和一个杂交种通过鉴定

中国水产科学研究院黑龙江水产研究所承担的“六五”国家重点科技攻关项目——鱼类繁育体系和杂交育种两个课题,经过4年的辛勤研究和克服了各种困难,终于初步选育出荷包红鲤抗寒品系(二代)和蓝色鳞鲤(二代)2个鲤鱼新品系和获得了一个高起捕率的杂交种。荷包红鲤是一个优良的杂交亲本,与沅     

鲤野生和养殖群体遗传多样性分析中的微卫星(SSLP)分析

采用7个微卫星标记,研究了鲤(Cyprinus carpio)、高寒鲤和荷包红鲤抗寒品系(Cyprinus carpio var.wananensis)三个群体的遗传变异。结果显示,鲤野生群体、高寒鲤、荷包红鲤抗寒品系的平均杂合度分别为0.276、0.147、0.0952,平均无偏倚杂合度期望值为0.431、0.355、0.305。鲤野生群体的杂合度明显高于其他两个养殖品种,说明其较其他两个养殖品种的遗传多样性丰富。     

选育中的高寒鲤

从１９７９年至１９８８年，为培育适合于北方地区养殖的鲤鱼新品种，我所选用遗传差异大的黑龙江野鲤和荷包红鲤进行了正反杂交（单交）。结果两个亲本具有很强的配合力，正反交Ｆ＿１都有明显的生长优势，优势率在１５－３０％；反交组Ｆ＿１的抗寒、抗病力很强，并完成了单组的选型。由于原种荷包红鲤在，黑龙江不能过冬，越冬成活率为零，为保证新品种的培育，根据杂支分离的遗传学原理，从上述组合Ｆ＿２中筛选出一个越冬成活率已达７０％以上、基因型与原种相似的抗寒品系。１９８５年至１９８８年，又用上述单交Ｆ＿１与散鳞镜鲤进行正反三杂交，通过池塘生长对照，抗寒力试验，结果正反三杂交Ｆ＿１的生长相似，比单交Ｆ１更具生长优势，优势率在３０～５０％之间，成活率、抗寒、抗病力都提高５％以上。并已进行了推广应用。     

鲤鱼种间、种内杂交中杂种优势强度表现的某些规律的初步研究

从1986年至1990年于我所松浦试验场,用黑龙江野鲤、荷包红鲤、兴国红鲤、红镜鲤、散鳞镜鲤、德国镜鲤和柏氏鲤进行了种间、种内14个组合的杂交,系统观察了不同组合亲本和杂种F_1在鳞被、体色、体型、生长、成活率、抗寒力、抗病力和起捕率等8个性状的遗传传递规律及其杂种优势强度,结果是.(1)鲤鱼种内异源杂交几乎所有的杂交组合的杂种F_1都表现出生长优势和对环境抗性的增强,其大小随亲本的亲缘远近和鳞被、体色、体型等性状间的差异而不同。一般品系间杂交,杂种生长的优势率在10％左右;品种间杂交,单交种的生长优势率在15—30％,三杂交种的生长优势率在30％以上。在抗寒、抗病、成活率等抗性上,表现出受其中一个亲本的影响,且有明显的母本效应,并可遗传传递给杂种后代。鳞被、体色、体型的基因效应,对杂种的生长有明显的促进作用。(2)鲤鱼种间杂交几乎不表现杂种优势,其特点:是柏氏鲤和黑龙江野鲤两个野生种间杂交,成活率、抗寒力强烈的表现不亲和性;而柏氏鲤与家养种间的杂交,表现一定的亲和性。亲本和杂种F_1的鳞被、体色仍表现显隐性关系,而体型、抗寒、抗病、成活率、起捕率等受柏氏鲤种质的强烈影响。获得抗寒力的杂种,在第二代时抗寒力明显消失,说明基因转移和整合的不稳定性。用柏氏鲤与散鳞镜鲤杂交的杂种F_1与另一抗寒很强的杂种F_1(黑龙江野鲤♀×红镜鲤♂)的双杂交种F_1,抗寒明显增强。

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.     

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.     

Growth hormone (GH) and reproduction: a review

Interaction between growth and reproduction occurs in many vertebrates and is particularly obvious at certain stages of the life cycle in fish. Endocrine interactions between the gonadotropic axis and the somatotropic axis are described, the potential role of GH being emphasised. A comparative analysis of these phenomena in mammals, amphibians and fish, suggests a specific role of GH in the physiology of puberty, gametogenesis and fertility. It also shows the original contribution made by studies on the fish model in this field of investigations.     

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).     

Protein and amino acid composition from the mantle of juvenile O ctopus vulgaris exposed to prolonged starvation

Protein and amino acid composition of the mantle of juvenile O ctopus vulgaris (Cuvier, 1797) during fasting for 27 days were determined. Average protein content of octopus mantle was of 711.19 ± 46.80 g kg^?1 DW, and it decreased with increasing fasting days. The non‐essential amino acids content was higher (486.18 ± 11.08 g kg^?1 protein) than essential amino acids (425.82 ± 9.15 g kg^?1 protein) at the start of the experiment (unstarved animals). The results suggest that the amino acid profile of the mantle where the most abundant amino acids are Arg, His, Lys, Gly, Leu and Pro could indicate a prolonged fasting condition (>20 days) or poor nutrition of O . vulgaris. This study supports the idea of using mantle for metabolic needs of starved O . vulgaris suggesting that the degradation pathway of amino acids to pyruvate and tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates was favoured contrary to the degradation pathway of ketogenic amino acids. Special considerations should be taken concerning Thr, Ile, Ser, Ala, Asx (Asp, Asn), Glx (Glu, Gln) (because of their fast intake) and Lys and His (due to their stable contents) during a prolonged period of fasting.     

Nitrogenous waste excretion and accumulation of urea and ammonia inChalcalburnus tarichi (Cyprinidae), endemic to the extremely alkaline Lake Van (Eastern Turkey)

The endemic, anadromous cyprinidChalcalburnus tarichi is the only fish species known to occur in alkaline Lake Van (Eastern Anatolia, Turkey). EightC. tarichi were maintained individually in Lake Van water (17 – 19°C; pH 9.8; 153 mEq·I^–1 total alkalinity; 22 total salinity) and tank water samples analyzed for 24 h in 2 to 4 h intervals. At zero time, < 1µM ammonia was present and urea was undetectable in the tank water; at 24 h, total ammonia and urea made up 114±32 and 35±25µM, respectively. Over the experimental period, ammonia-N and urea-N excretion averaged 1041±494 and 607±169moles·kg^–1 fish·h^–1, respectively. The extent of urea excretion was highly variable between specimens. Uric acid excretion was not detectable.Urea was present at high concentrations in all tissues and plasma (25 – 35moles·g^–1·ml^–1) of freshly caughtC. tarichi; total ammonia content of the tissues was by a factor of 1.9 (liver) to 3.0 (brain) lower. High arginase activity (2.4±0.2 U·min^–1·g^–1) was detected in the liver ofC. tarichi but ornithine carbamoylphosphate transferase, a key enzyme of the ornithine-urea-cycle, was absent. Ureagenesis is likely through degradation of arginine and/or uricolysis. High glutamine synthetase activity (11±0.6 U·min^–1·g^–1) and low ammonia content in brain suggest that, like other teleosts,C. tarichi has an efficient ammonia detoxification in the brain, but in no other tissue.Nitrogenous waste excretion at alkaline pH is discussed. The ability ofC. tarichi to excrete high levels of ammonia at extremely alkaline pH is unique among teleosts studied so far. The mechanism of ammonia excretion under Lake Van conditions remains to be elucidated.     

Imported ornamental fish are colonized with antibiotic‐resistant bacteria

There has been growing concern about the overuse of antibiotics in the ornamental fish industry and its possible effect on the increasing drug resistance in both commensal and pathogenic organisms in these fish. The aim of this study was to carry out an assessment of the diversity of bacteria, including pathogens, in ornamental fish species imported into North America and to assess their antibiotic resistance. Kidney samples were collected from 32 freshwater ornamental fish of various species, which arrived to an importing facility in Portland, Oregon from Colombia, Singapore and Florida. Sixty‐four unique bacterial colonies were isolated and identified by PCR using bacterial 16S primers and DNA sequencing. Multiple isolates were identified as bacteria with potential to cause disease in both fish and humans. The antibiotic resistance profile of each isolate was performed for nine different antibiotics. Among them, cefotaxime (16% resistance among isolates) was the antibiotic associated with more activity, while the least active was tetracycline (77% resistant). Knowing information about the diversity of bacteria in imported ornamental fish, as well as the resistance profiles for the bacteria will be useful in more effectively treating clinical infected fish, and also potential zoonoses in the future.
