投喂策略对圆口铜鱼幼鱼生长、消化酶及肝脏组织结构的影响

为探究圆口铜鱼(Coreius guichienoti)苗种培育的适宜投喂策略，实验采用5×2双因子设计，通过8周的养殖投喂，研究投喂水平(1%、2%、3%、4%和5%)和投喂频率(2和3次/d)对圆口铜鱼幼鱼[初体重(4.91±0.11) g]生长、体成分组成、消化酶活性和肝脏组织结构的影响。结果显示，随着投喂水平的增加，圆口铜鱼的增重率和特定生长率显著增加，饲料效率随着投喂水平的增加而递增，但在投喂水平达到3%后趋于平稳。鱼体肥满度和脏体比随投喂频率的增加有降低的趋势，当投喂水平不超过3%时，3次/d投喂组的增重率、特定生长率和饲料效率均显著高于2次/d组。全鱼的粗脂肪含量随投喂水平的增加而增加，而全鱼的水分则显著下降。投喂水平对肝脏胰蛋白酶和脂肪酶具有显著影响，当投喂水平超过3%时，投喂水平升高显著降低了肝脏胰蛋白酶的活性，而在3次/d投喂组，肝脂肪酶随投喂水平增加呈先增加后下降的趋势。投喂水平、投喂频率以及二者的交互作用对圆口铜鱼前肠消化酶均无显著影响。随着投喂水平的增加，圆口铜鱼肝脏脂肪蓄积逐渐增多，并诱发脂肪肝，且在同一投喂水平下，3次/d组的脂肪肝症状较2次/d组的症状轻...     

投喂率和投喂频率对吉富罗非鱼幼鱼生长和肝脏健康的影响

为探讨投喂率和投喂频率对鱼类生长和肝脏健康的影响,以吉富罗非鱼(Oreachromis niloticus)幼鱼(3.78 g±0.01 g)为研究对象,采用4×2双因子实验设计,设置了4个投喂率(8%、10%、12%和表观饱食投喂)和2个投喂频率(2次/d、3次/d),共8个处理,在24个循环水养殖桶(有效容积100 L)中养殖30 d。结果显示:在8%～12%的投喂率下,投喂频率对实验鱼的生长性能和饲料利用无显著影响,但发现表观饱食投喂3次/d的实验鱼生长性能和饲料效率最佳,其增重率和特定生长率显著高于投喂率8%实验组,饲料效率和蛋白质效率显著高于投喂率10%和12%实验组,而饲料成本则显著低于投喂率12%实验组。投喂率和投喂频率对实验鱼的肥满度、脏体比以及干物质、粗蛋白和粗脂肪的表观消化率无显著影响。随投喂率的增加,实验鱼的成活率提高,其肝脏和去内脏全鱼的粗脂肪含量逐渐增加,但肌肉和内脏的粗脂肪无显著变化。投喂率和投喂频率对实验鱼血清总蛋白、球蛋白、甘油三酯和总胆固醇含量及碱性磷酸酶、谷丙转氨酶活性无显著影响,但投喂率为10%的实验组血清谷草转氨酶活性显著高于投喂率8%实验组的血糖水平随投喂率的增加而升高。实验鱼肝细胞的核面积比例不受投喂率和投喂频率的影响,而空泡面积比例以表观饱食投喂的最大。依据生长性能和饲料利用,吉富罗非鱼幼鱼选择表观饱食投喂3次/d效果较好,但会产生体脂肪积累过多,肝细胞空泡增大等影响;若综合考虑生长和养殖成本,以10%的投喂率,投喂2次/d为宜。

不同投喂率和投喂频率对大杂交鲟幼鱼生长、体成分和生化指标的影响

为探讨大杂交鲟(Huso dauricus♀×Acipenser schrenckii♂)适宜投喂率和投喂频率,本实验分别设计了5个投喂率(0.4%、0.8%、1.2%、1.6%和2.0%)和5个投喂频率(1次/d、2次/d、3次/d、4次/d和5次/d),研究不同投喂率和投喂频率对大杂交鲟生长、体成分和生化指标的影响。投喂率实验中鱼初重(335.87±0.82)g,投喂频率实验中鱼初重(334.77±1.06)g,养殖周期为10周。结果表明,随着投喂率升高,实验鱼增重率、特定生长率、肝体比、脏体比、肥满度,肌肉粗蛋白、粗脂肪和肝粗脂肪含量显著升高(P0.05),血清谷丙转氨酶、谷草转氨酶和胃蛋白酶活性均显著升高(P0.05);饲料效率、全鱼和肌肉水分含量均显著降低(P0.05);全鱼粗脂肪含量,血清总蛋白、白蛋白和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇含量,肠脂肪酶活性呈先升高后降低趋势(P0.05)。随着投喂频率增加,实验鱼增重率、特定生长率和饲料效率无显著差异(P0.05);1次/d投喂频率组脏体比、肥满度和全鱼粗脂肪含量显著低于其他各组(P0.05),2次/d投喂频率组全鱼粗蛋白含量显著高于其他各组(P0.05)。不同投喂频率对实验鱼除血清葡萄糖含量以外的其他血清生化指标和胃肠消化酶活性或含量均无显著影响(P0.05)。综合以上结果认为,在300～600g大杂交鲟的养殖过程中日投喂率在1.2%～1.6%,投喂频率为2次/d比较适宜。     

投喂频率对黄鳝幼鱼摄食、生长及饵料利用效率的影响

研究了不同投喂频率对黄鳝(Monopterus albus)摄食率、特定生长率、饵料效率、体重分化、鱼体组成的影响。试验共设5组不同投喂频率(2、3、4、12次/d和24次/d),每组3个重复,试验持续30 d。结果显示:投喂频率4次/d组的摄食率显著高于其它各组(P<0.05);特定生长率有不同程度增高,4次/d组达到最高(P<0.05);饲料利用效率4次/d组显著高于2次/d组(P<0.05),与其它组无显著性差异(P>0.05);随着投喂频率增加,各试验组组内个体体重无显著差异(P>0.05),黄鳝的规格趋于整齐。试验各组黄鳝的鱼体成分无显著性差异(P>0.05);饵料蛋白质和能量的表观消化率,在4次/d时达到最高(P<0.05)。试验表明:黄鳝的生长受投喂频率的影响,每天投喂4次是黄鳝养殖的最佳投喂频率。     

凡纳滨对虾亲虾繁殖期间适宜投喂频率的研究

在饱食投喂条件下,选用鲜活饵料沙蚕(Nereis succinea)对凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)亲虾进行营养强化培育60 d,通过比较不同的投喂频率2次/d(F2组)、3次/d(F3组)、4次/d(F4组)对亲虾摄食、生长、繁殖性能、虾体组成和肝胰腺的消化酶活力的影响,旨在探究亲虾繁殖期间营养强化的最适投喂频率。结果显示,随着投喂频率的增加,亲虾的日摄食量逐渐增大,F2组显著低于F4组(P0.05),但与F3组差异不显著(P0.05);亲虾的增重率和体长增长率呈先升高后降低的趋势,但无显著性差异(P0.05)。不同的投喂频率对各组亲虾的单次产卵量、相对产卵量、无节幼体I期个体数、无节幼体孵化率、蚤状幼体I期个体数、无节幼体变态率、性腺指数、初产时间和产卵间期均无显著影响(P0.05)。亲虾全虾主要体组成分水分、粗蛋白、粗脂肪、灰分含量也不受投喂频率增加的影响(P0.05);F2组的胰蛋白酶和脂肪酶活力显著低于F3、F4组(P0.05),而不同实验组的胃蛋白酶和淀粉酶活力无显著性差异(P0.05)。结合本研究的结果和生产实际情况,建议在饱食投喂条件下,凡纳滨对虾亲虾繁殖期间营养强化的适宜投喂频率为2次/d。     

不同投喂频率下草鱼对5种非粮蛋白源利用效率的比较

采用双因素正交试验(3ｘ5)评估了草鱼在3种投喂频率下对豆粕(美国)、乙醇梭菌蛋白、黄粉虫、小球藻、棉籽蛋白粉的利用效率。以5种原料为单一蛋白源配制5种等氮等能饲料,在池塘网箱(1mｘ1.5mｘ1.5m)中,分别以投喂频率(2次/d、3次/d和4次/d)投喂初始体质量~80g的草鱼8周,考察草鱼的生长性能,全鱼和肌肉营养成分以及血清生化指标。研究结果表明：黄粉虫试验组(2次/d)草鱼表现出最低的生长性能;豆粕(4次/d)和乙醇梭菌蛋白(3次/d和4次/d)试验组草鱼表现出最高的生长性能;投喂频率与蛋白源对草鱼的末重,饲料系数,蛋白质效率和增重率有交互作用(P＜0.05)。除小球藻试验组,各试验组草鱼的终末体质量和蛋白质效率随着投喂频率的增加而增加。不考虑蛋白源,投喂频率为4次/d的草鱼生长性能显著高于2次/d。 不考虑投喂频率,黄粉虫和棉籽浓缩蛋白组的增重率和蛋白质效率显著低于豆粕、乙醇梭菌蛋白和小球藻三组(P＜0.05),饲料系数则表现出相反的趋势(P＜0.05)。不同的投喂频率下,五种蛋白源对草鱼的形体指标(肝体比、脏体比、肥满度)和全鱼和肌肉的基础营养成分均无显著影响(P＞0.05)。投喂频率对草鱼血清的碱性磷酸酶和葡萄糖有显著影响(P＜0.05),投喂2次/d的碱性磷酸酶的活性显著高于投喂3次/d和投喂4次/d(P＜0.05),投喂4次/d试验鱼的葡萄糖含量显著高于投喂2次/d和3次/d(P＜0.05)。黄粉虫试验组草鱼血清中的谷丙转氨酶和谷草转氨酶活性显著高于豆粕组和小球藻组(P＜0.05)。本试验条件下,以生长性能为评价指标,草鱼适宜的投喂频率为3~4次/d,草鱼对五种蛋白源饲料的利用能力为：乙醇梭菌蛋白=豆粕=小球藻>棉籽浓缩蛋白>黄粉虫。     

Growth and metamorphosis of Rana catesbeiana (Shaw) tadpoles fed live and supplementary feed, using tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.), as a biofertilizer

An experiment was conducted to compare growth and timing to metamorphosis of bullfrog Rana catesbeiana (Shaw) tadpoles feeding on phytoplankton and on supplementary feed. Three interconnected, round, 4 m diameter concrete tanks were used in the experiment. Tanks 1 and 2 were stocked with juvenile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.) to stimulate phytoplankton through faecal fertilization. A third tank remained without fish. Stage 25-Gosner bullfrog tadpoles were placed in 0.042 m³ cages at 1 I^?1. Experimental treatments consisted of: (1) tadpoles feeding solely on phytoplankton (P); (2) P + 13% body weight day^?1 (bw day¹) supplementary feeding (SF); (3) P + 9.75% bw day^?1 SF; (4) P + 6.5% bw day^?1 SF; (5) P + 3.25% bw day^?1 SF; and (6) tadpoles feeding solely on supplementary feed at 13% bw day^?1. Final weight was lowest in those organisms feeding exclusively on supplementary feed, followed by those feeding on phytoplankton. Treatments 2 and 3 showed the highest weight (3.65 and 3.64 g, respectively). After 70 days, 50% of the tadpoles in treatment 4 (6.5% bw day^?1) reached metamorphic climax, followed by treatment 5 (33%). Only 8% of tadpoles feeding exclusively on live food reached metamorphosis. It is concluded that in the presence of abundant phytoplankton, it is possible to reduce up to 50% of the standard supplementary feeding rate and still have normal growth and metamorphosis. Tilapia represents a good alternative for biofertilization.     

Growth, metamorphosis and feeding behaviour of Rana catesbeiana Shaw 1802 tadpoles at different rearing densities

An experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of rearing density on growth, metamorphosis and behavioural patterns of feeding in bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana Shaw, tadpoles. Stage 25 (Gosner) tadpoles from a single cohort were stocked at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 L^–1 in 6-L plastic containers. A combination of phytoplankton and supplementary feed was used. There was an inverse relationship between rearing density and growth and metamorphosis above two organisms L^–1. Tadpoles reared at 0.5 and 1.0 L^–1 reached the metamorphic climax in 135 and 120 days, respectively, whereas more than 80% of all tadpoles reared at 4 and 8 L^–1 did not metamorphose at all. Intraspecific competition appeared to be consistent among the cultured organisms regardless of the rearing density. Smaller tadpoles were displaced to sites distant from feeding points during supplementary feed addition, while no displacement was observed during phytoplankton addition. It is concluded that bullfrog tadpoles grow well at up to two organisms L^–1 and that intraspecific competition is present within cultured tadpoles regardless of stocking density and may result from intrinsic genetic variability.     

Do granular substrates enhance microbiota availability and growth in cultured Rana catesbeiana tadpoles?

A comparison was made of growth performance in bullfrog Rana catesbeiana tadpoles and biogenic capacity in culture tanks with gravel, sand and hard bottoms. Stage 25 (Gosner) tadpoles from a single cohort were stocked in 1‐m² fibreglass tanks at 50 m^?2. Two treatments and a control were employed, with three replicates each: T₁=tadpoles reared in tanks with 0.02 m deep layer of sterilized silica gravel (2360 μm particle size); T₂=tadpoles reared in tanks with 0.02 m deep layer of sterilized beach sand (250 μm particle size); and C=a control treatment with tadpoles reared in tanks with no soft substrate (conventional method). Tadpoles were fed on a 40% protein, powdered specific bullfrog feed at 13% body weight day^?1. Results for survival, timing to metamorphosis, specific growth rate and weight gain exhibited no statistical differences between treatments (P>0.05). However, tadpoles in T₁ had an apparent overall better performance based on numerical indicators. Biotic colonization was also statistically similar (P>0.05) between treatments, showing an overall poor biogenic capacity for the tested substrates. Only three taxa, at low abundances, were recorded for phytoplankton and phytobenthos: cyanophiceae, chlorophyceae, and bacillariophyceae. Zooplankton was represented by two microinvertebrate groups, rotifera and protozoa. The statistical similarities between treatments may reflect that bullfrog tadpoles do not exploit naturally occurring aquatic biota when sufficient suspended artificial feed particles are present.     

Effects of Feeding Levels on Growth Performance, Feed Utilization, Body Composition, and Apparent Digestibility Coefficients of Nutrients for Grouper Epinephelus coioides Juveniles

An experiment was conducted to determine effects of feeding levels on growth performance, feed utilization, body composition, and apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of nutrients for juvenile grouper Epinephelus coioides (initial weight, 10.31 ± 0.36 g). Grouper were fed a practical diet from 0 (starvation) to 3.5% (at 0.5% increments) body weight per day (bw/d) for 8 wk. ANOVA indicated that growth performance, feed utilization, body composition, and ADCs of dry matter, protein, and energy were significantly (P < 0.05) affected by feeding levels. Survival was the lowest for the starvation group and for fish fed a ration of 0.5% bw/d. Final mean body weight, weight gain (WG), specific growth rate, and metabolic growth rate increased with feeding rate from 0 to 2.5% bw/d (P < 0.05) and showed no significant differences above the level (P > 0.05). Feed conversion rate was significantly lower at a feeding level of 2.0% bw/d than above and below the level (P < 0.05). Protein efficiency ratio was markedly highest at the 2.0% bw/d ration level (P < 0.05). Lipid contents of whole body, muscle, and liver increased with increasing feeding rates from 0 to 3% bw/d and showed a slight decline at the feeding level of 3.5% bw/d. Protein contents of whole‐body composition, muscle, and liver remained relatively stable with the different ration amount with the exception of fish fed a ration of 0.5% bw/d, at which grouper possessed significantly lower body protein concentration (P < 0.05). Condition factor, viscerosomatic index, and hepatosomatic index were the lowest for fish fed 0.5% bw/d and tended to increase with the increasing feeding levels. ADCs of dry matter, protein, and energy decreased with increasing feeding levels from 0 to 2.5% bw/d and then remained relatively constant over the level. Based on the broken‐line regression analysis using WG data, the optimum and maintenance feeding levels for grouper were 2.5% bw/d and 0.25% bw/d, respectively.     

饲料β-胡萝卜素水平对镇海林蛙蝌蚪生长发育的影响

为探讨饲料中添加不同剂量的β-胡萝卜素对于镇海林蛙(Rana zhenhaiensis)蝌蚪生长、幼蛙形态和运动表现及肝脏酶活的影响。将镇海林蛙蝌蚪(Gosner 25~26)288尾随机分为4个处理组。各组分别添加0、50、500和1200 mg/kgβ-胡萝卜素,直至镇海林蛙蝌蚪变态发育完全。结果显示:(1)不同处理组间蝌蚪发育中期的体重、体长和尾长组间差异不显著,而蝌蚪中期发育的历期在组间差异显著,对照组中期发育的历期显著快于β-胡萝卜素处理组。(2)不同处理组间蝌蚪的增重率、特定生长率和变态率差异不显著,对照组的变态时间显著短于β-胡萝卜素处理组,β-胡萝卜素处理组则随着浓度的增加而变态时间缩短。(3)不同处理组间幼蛙体长、头长、前臂及手长和后肢长差异显著,但幼蛙体重差异不显著。(4)不同处理组间幼蛙平均跳跃距离差异显著,50和500 mg/kgβ-胡萝卜素处理组幼蛙平均跳跃距离显著大于另外两组。(5)幼蛙的过氧化氢酶(CAT)活力在不同处理组间差异显著,50 mg/kgβ-胡萝卜素组的酶活显著大于其它处理组,但是幼蛙肝脏总超氧化物歧化酶(T-SOD)活力差异不显著。综上所述,饲料中添加500 mg/kgβ-胡萝卜素试验组,可以显著减缓镇海林蛙蝌蚪的早期发育,延长变态时间,形成较大的幼蛙个体,积累能量较多,运动性能显著增强,个体的适合度增加。     

中国林蛙蝌蚪饵料研究

本试验对中国林蛙蝌蚪期的3种不同饲料配方进行了试验研究。结果表明，T1组饲料喂养的蝌蚪变态后的幼蛙体重最大、身体最长（分别为0．347g、1．64cm）；T3组饲料所喂养的蝌蚪生长速度快，完成变态的时间最短（34．8d）；T2组饲料喂养的蝌蚪生长最慢，完成变态所需的时间最长（39．2d），变态后的幼蛙体重最小（0．276g）；各组中蝌蚪的成活率和变态率差异不显著（P〉0．05）。     

投喂频率对斑点叉尾鮰幼鱼生长、饲料利用和鱼体组成的影响

通过8周的生长试验,研究斑点叉尾鮰(Ictalurus punctatus)幼鱼(初始体重约4.5 g)的最适投喂频率。试验饲料为自制配合饲料,粗蛋白38%,总能19.0 kJ/g。设计了1～5次/d(M1-M5)5种投喂频率。结果表明:M2、M3、M4组摄食率均显著高于M1和M5组(P<0.05),其中M4组最大。M3、M4、M5组的特定生长率均显著高于M1组(P<0.05),其中M3组最大。M2、M3、M4、M5组的干物质表观消化率均显著高于M1组(P<0.05),M3和M4组的蛋白和能量表观消化率均显著高于M1和M2组(P<0.05)。M3组干物质含量显著高于M1和M2组(P<0.05),M2、M3、M4和M5组的粗蛋白、粗脂肪和能量含量均显著高于M1组(P<0.05)。因此,本研究建议,斑点叉尾鮰幼鱼养殖的最适投喂频率为3次/d。     

Compensatory Growth of Juvenile Olive Flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus L., and Changes in Proximate Composition and Body Condition Indexes during Fasting and after Refeeding in Summer Season

Compensatory growth of juvenile olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus L., and changes in proximate composition and body condition indexes of fish during fasting and after refeeding were investigated during the summer season. Groups of 25 fish each (initial body weight of 16 g) were randomly distributed into fifteen 180‐L flow‐through tanks. Fish were fed the experimental diet containing crude protein 46.9% and crude lipid 8.0% with estimated energy level of 14.6 kJ/g diet for 6 d/wk. Five treatments in triplicate were prepared for this study: C, S1, S2, S3, and S4. Fish in the control group (C) were hand‐fed to apparent satiation twice daily. Fish in treatments S1, S2, S3, and S4 experienced 1, 2, 3, and 4 wk of starvation and were then hand‐fed to apparent satiation twice daily during the remaining 7, 6, 5, and 4 wk of the experiment, respectively. A group of starved fish in the similar size was stocked and fasted throughout the 8‐wk feeding trial for chemical and blood analysis. The feeding trial lasted for 8 wk. Weight of fish linearly decreased with week of starvation (P < 0.0001). Linear relationship between condition factor (CF) and hepatosomatic index (HSI) against week of starvation was observed in the starved group of fish. Survival was not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by feeding strategy. However, weight gain and specific growth rate (SGR) of olive flounder in C, S1, and S2 were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than those of fish in S3 and S4. The poorest weight gain and specific growth rate (SGR) were obtained in fish of S4. Feed consumption of olive flounder in C, S1, and S2 was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that of fish in S3 and S4. Feed efficiency, protein efficiency ratio, and protein retention of olive flounder in C and S1 were not significantly (P > 0.05) different from those of fish in S2 but significantly (P < 0.05) higher than those of fish in S3 and S4. Hematocrit, CF, and HSI of olive flounder were not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by feeding strategy. Chemical composition of fish was not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by feeding strategy. In considering these results, it can be concluded that juvenile olive flounder have the ability to fully compensate for 2‐wk feed deprivation during the summer season. Besides, feed efficiency in fish fed for 7 and 6 wk after 1‐ and 2‐wk feed deprivation was comparable to that in fish fed for 8 wk.
