光环境因子对豹纹鳃棘鲈幼鱼栖息特性的影响

以豹纹鳃棘鲈[全长(17.5±0.6)cm、体质量(205.2±1.7)g]为研究对象,分别采用光梯度法和正交试验法,在小型循环水养殖系统中一个特制的养殖水槽和一组常规的养殖水槽内探究了豹纹鳃棘鲈幼鱼对白、蓝、绿、黄和红5种光环境的喜好性和三原色(红色A1、绿色A2、蓝色A3)及光周期(16L︰8D,B1;12L︰12D,B2;8L︰16D,B3)和光照度(1000lx,C1;1500lx,C2;2000lx,C3)对豹纹鳃棘鲈幼鱼栖息的影响。结果表明,光色和光照度对幼鱼幼鱼的栖息习性均有显著影响,在试验设定的光色和光照度范围内,同光色照射下,随着光照度的升高,幼鱼对光照度的敏感性越来越低,在不同光照度下的分布率差异不显著(P0.05);同强度光照射下,光波长越大,幼鱼分布率越高,随着光照度的升高,幼鱼对光波长的敏感度逐渐降低,但在不同光色下的分布率显著差异(P0.05)。正交试验结果,光色对豹纹鳃棘鲈幼鱼的栖息有显著影响(P0.05),光周期和光照度对豹纹鳃棘鲈栖息影响不显著(P0.05);极差分析结果,豹纹鳃棘鲈幼鱼最适宜栖息的光照环境是绿色光;光周期16L∶8D;光照度1500lx;影响豹纹鳃棘鲈幼鱼栖息的主要光照因子是光色,其次是光照度和光照周期。     

光周期对卤虫摄食、生长和存活的影响

在不同光周期（０Ｌ：２４Ｄ、６Ｌ：１８Ｄ、１２Ｌ：１２Ｄ、１８Ｌ：６Ｄ和２４Ｌ：０Ｄ）下培养河北大清河盐场的卤虫,结果表明：卤虫的摄食率有随着光周期缩短而下降的趋势。大清河盐场的卤虫在不同光周期下的生长速度无显著差异,但成活率差异显著,６Ｌ：１８Ｄ组的成活率最高。建议在短光周期下培养卤虫。     

光照强度、温度及海水类型对卤虫(Artemia saline)卵孵化率和幼体存活率的影响

为提高室内循环水养殖环境下卤虫(Artemia saline)的存活率和稳定的产出率,研究了光照强度、温度及海水类型对卤虫卵孵化率和幼体存活率的影响。通过单因素方差分析方法研究不同光照强度下的卤虫卵孵化率,设置0、1 000、2 000、3 000、4 000、5 000 lx共6种光照强度,每种强度设置4个重复组,结果显示,6种光照强度下的孵化率依次为(5.12±2.18)%、(55.68±4.73)%、(59.66±13.04)%、(62.50±19.51)%、(48.29±10.06)%、(38.07±11.04)%,光照强度对孵化率具有极显著影响(P0.01),在光照强度3 000 lx下孵化率最高。采用双因素方差分析法研究温度及海水类型对孵化后6、24、48 h时卤虫幼体存活率的影响,并对不同水平组合下的均数进行多重比较,双因素交叉分组试验设置2种温度[A_1(25.17±0.51)℃、A_2(32.03±1.04)℃],5种海水类型[B_1(卤水)、B_2(卤水+自来水)、B_3(海水晶+自来水)、B_4(海水晶+纯净水)、B_5(天然海水)],每个组合设3个重复组,结果表明,孵化后6 h,温度、海水类型及交互效应对卤虫存活率的影响无显著差异(P0.05);24 h时,温度、海水类型及交互效应对卤虫存活率的影响有显著差异(P0.05),其中海水类型对卤虫存活率的影响达到极显著水平(P0.01),A_1B_1、A_2B_2组存活率相同,均为(98.89±1.92)%;48 h时,温度、海水类型及交互效应对卤虫存活率有显著影响(P0.05),其中A_1B_1存活率最高,为(97.78±1.92)%,A_1B_2其次,为(96.67±3.34)%;A_1B_1与A_1B_2间无显著差异(P0.05)。综合考虑存活率、卤水价格、运输成本、运行损耗等因素,在水温(25.17±0.51)℃下采用卤水+自来水进行卤虫孵化较为经济和便利,适合于循环水养殖条件。     

不同强化饵料对卤虫必需脂肪酸组成的影响

在实验室内以发酵米粉为主饲料培养卤虫,分别用小球藻、等鞭金藻、新月菱形藻、螺旋藻粉和强化剂V对7日龄拟成虫期卤虫[体长(4.10±0.69)mm]强化6 h和12 h。试验结果表明:发酵米粉养殖的卤虫脂肪酸组成中有DHA。强化剂V可极显著提高卤虫DHA、EPA和5种必需脂肪酸总量(ΣEFA),强化6 h增幅分别为70.7%、27.3%和15.6%。用等鞭金藻强化12 h,可极显著地提高卤虫亚麻酸和ΣEFA含量,增幅分别为149%和4.1%。用新月菱形藻强化12 h,可极显著地提高EPA和ΣEFA含量,增幅分别为35.2%和7.2%。用螺旋藻粉强化可提高卤虫亚油酸含量,增幅为7.1%。而小球藻对卤虫HUFA基本无强化效果。     

不同微藻饵料对卤虫滤水率的影响

采用静水法研究不同饵料种类(等鞭金藻、盐藻、扁藻)在相同密度、相同生物量的环境下对卤虫的滤水率的影响。结果表明,2h内卤虫的滤水率顺序为等边金藻组盐藻组扁藻组,等鞭金藻与盐藻和扁藻表现出显著差异(P0.05),其中最大滤水率为1.78mL/(ind.·h)。研究显示,食物粒径越小,卤虫对其滤水率越大,等鞭金藻因其具有相对较小的粒径表现出了较高滤食优势,因此在渔业生产上可作为一种卤虫的适口饵料进行推广应用。     

云斑尖塘鳢转饵期仔鱼生长和存活率的研究

在水温(30±1)℃条件下对人工孵化的云斑尖塘鳢(Oxyeleotris marmorata)仔鱼进行转饵期不同投喂策略实验,对仔鱼生长和成活情况进行了研究,设计5个投喂组:轮虫投喂组(A组);70%轮虫+30%卤虫投喂组(B组);50%轮虫+50%卤虫投喂组(C组);30%轮虫+70%卤虫投喂组(D组);卤虫(幼虫)投喂组(E组)。结果显示:云斑尖塘鳢仔鱼对卤虫的摄食强度随卤虫在饵料中比例的升高而增大,其对混合饵料中轮虫和卤虫的摄食强度的比值(Ir/Ia)随食物组成的变化发生相应的变化。以轮虫-卤虫不同比例的混合饵料投喂时,D组仔鱼的增长率、增重率最高,可存活率不足50%,高于E组,显著低于其它各组;C组仔鱼生长指标略低于D组,但存活率为(74.00±2.29)%,综合指标显著好于其它各组。当混合饵料中轮虫和卤虫各占50%时,10日龄开始投喂组仔鱼的全长(13.07±0.13)mm,特定生长率(10.25±0.37)%/d,存活率(82.14±0.72)%,综合生长指标最好。结果表明,云斑尖塘鳢仔鱼转饵期进行联合投喂的最佳饵料比例为50%轮虫+50%卤虫,最佳转饵时间为10日龄。     

几种植物浆养殖卤虫的饵料效果

以各种植物浆为饵料培养卤虫,培养效果差异显著,陆生植物优于水生植物.其中以黄豆叶浆养殖的卤虫成活和生长最佳,第16天时平均存活率(69.6%)和体长(6.436±0.956mm)与螺旋藻粉组相似(分别为66.0%、6.461±1.181mm)而优于酵母组(分别为29.8%、5.216±1.030mm).以黄豆叶浆养殖的卤虫的粗蛋白及氨基酸含量略低于酵母和螺旋藻粉喂养的卤虫,在高密度卤虫养殖中可替代部分螺旋藻粉,降低卤虫养殖的饵料成本.     

光照对雨生红球藻生长的影响

分别用不同光照强度、不同光暗周期及不同光剂量培养雨生红球藻(Haematococcus pluvialis)。结果表明:光照强度及光周期对藻体细胞的生长有极显著的影响,高剂量光强有利于虾育素积累而不利于生长,促进藻生长的适宜光强为4000～5000lx,适宜光暗周期为每天12～18h光照,而在高光强下,则每天只需3h的光照即可维持藻体较好生长。     

珠江口海域双胞旋沟藻赤潮对卤虫幼体、鱼苗和虾苗的急性毒性

为研究2009年10月下旬在广东珠海海域爆发的双胞旋沟藻赤潮对养殖鱼类及水体中其它生物的影响,实验以卤虫幼体、金鼓鱼苗和凡纳滨对虾苗作为受试生物,在赤潮现场测试双胞旋沟藻对卤虫幼体、鱼苗和虾苗的急性毒性效应。结果显示,24 h双胞旋沟藻对卤虫幼体的LC₅₀(半致死浓度)为9.55×10⁴/mL,藻密度为2.5×10³/mL的双胞旋沟藻对卤虫幼体的LT₅₀(半致死时间)为48.5 h。60 h内该赤潮水体对鱼苗和虾苗的存活无不利影响,卤虫幼体和金鼓鱼苗均可摄食双胞旋沟藻,卤虫幼体对双胞旋沟藻的摄食率低。研究表明,双胞旋沟藻赤潮水体对卤虫幼体有一定的毒性作用,但在低藻密度条件下,卤虫幼体能以该藻为食并维持其生命,双胞旋沟藻对金鼓鱼苗和凡纳滨对虾苗无急性毒性作用。     

2个青虾群体生长的比较研究

以太湖野生青虾和长兴养殖青虾为亲体繁殖的虾苗(分别记作了野生群和养殖群)进行生长对比试验,经90d饲养,野生群体长为46 70cm,养殖群为37 60cm;体重日绝对增重率野生群为4 638%,养殖群为3 839%;成活率野生群为(98 6±2 4)%,养殖群为(94 9±1 6)%;抱卵率野生群为(41 3±2 3)%,养殖群为(62 8±2 8)%。野生青虾繁殖的虾苗在体长、体重、成活率和性成熟等生长性能均优于养殖青虾繁殖的虾苗。     

Physiological changes in male and female pikeperch Sander lucioperca (Linnaeus, 1758) subjected to different photoperiods and handling stress during the reproductive season

Pikeperch broodstocks were exposed to different photoperiods: constant light (24L:0D), constant darkness (0L:24D), and 12 h light, 12 h darkness (12L:12D), for 40 days. Half of the broodstocks of each photoperiod were exposed to handling stress at a specific time of the day. Results showed that cortisol and lactate did not reveal any significant difference. However, glucose levels in females increased in the stress-free darkness period in comparison with stressful darkness photoperiods (0L:24D-s). Red blood cells in males and white blood cells in females showed a significant difference under different photoperiod regimes. Both sexes showed no significant difference in the differential count of leukocytes under different photoperiods and handling stress. Constant photoperiods and handling stress affected the hematological parameters, particularly, the number of lymphocytes and neutrophils in females. Our findings revealed that due to a long-term exposure to stressors, pikeperch brooders become adapted to stressful conditions.     

Effects of different light intensities on growth,survival, reproductive and life span characteristics of Artemia urmiana (Günther 1890)

Effects of light intensities on growth, survival, reproductive and life span traits of Artemia urmiana were investigated under laboratory conditions. Nauplii of A. urmiana were hatched and raised in 100 g L^?1 at four illuminations including 0, 100, 2000 and 5000 lx with 14:10 (light:dark) photoperiod. Mating pairs of mature animals were randomly isolated and reared continuously under similar conditions. The mode and potential of reproduction as well as adult survival shown by each pair were determined throughout their life span. Results showed that percentages of nauplii survival were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) different at 5000 and 0 lx (76.50% compared with 26.25%) respectively. Total number of offspring was highly correlated with the light intensities showing increased numbers at higher light intensities compared with darkness or 100 lx. Reproduction mode was relatively affected by various light intensities. Significant (P ≤ 0.05) differences were found both in reproductive period and life span at different illuminations. Maximum and minimum offspring productions per reproductive day were found at 5000 and 100 lx respectively. The relative degree of oviparity increased as the illumination decreased (57.92% compared with 22.65% at 0 and 5000 lx respectively). The optimum light intensities appear to be between 2000 lx and 5000 lx in this study. These findings could probably be useful for mass culture of A. urmiana in indoor or recirculating systems as well as in outdoor systems for intensive cyst and biomass production.     

Effects of photoperiod on growth performance and melanogenesis pathway for skin pigmentation of Malaysian red tilapia

Farming of red tilapia is increasing rapidly. However, its commercial farming development is challenged by lack of clear information on genetic basis for skin colour and pigmentation differences due to environmental changes. This study investigated the effects of photoperiod (light:dark, L:D) on the growth and skin colour variation of Malaysian red tilapia. A total of 180 fish weighing 150.48 ± 0.44 g were reared under natural photoperiod (13L:11D, control), prolonged lightness (24L:0D) and prolonged darkness (0L:24D) in three replicates for 78 days. The weight gain of fish cultured under both prolonged light and darkness were significantly higher than fish under natural photoperiod. The tyrosinase level in ventral skin was significantly higher for fish cultured under prolonged darkness condition than in the other two photoperiod regimes. Contrary, the cysteine level in the dorsal skin was significantly higher in the fish cultured under natural photoperiod than in prolonged light and darkness. The relative mRNA expressions of SRY‐related HMG‐Box 10 (sox 10), tyrosine (tyr), tyrosine‐related protein 1 (tyrp‐1) and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (slc7a11) genes were significantly higher in ventral skin of fish under prolonged darkness than the other two photoperiods. This study demonstrates that photoperiod has an impact on melanogenesis and growth of red tilapia. Understanding the effects of photoperiod on genetic basis of red tilapia will help in selective breeding programme of the important economic traits for the development of commercial red tilapia farming.     

Effect of the dusk photoperiod change from light to dark on the incubation period of eggs of the spotted rose snapper, Lutjanus guttatus (Steindachner)

Spotted rose snapper, Lutjanus guttatus (Steindachner), eggs were incubated under different photoperiods to examine the effect of photoperiod on incubation. The eggs from two fish were incubated under five artificial photoperiods: constant dark (D), constant light (L) from 06:00 hours and 6, 10 and 14 h of light from 06:00 hours. The eggs from seven other fish were incubated under a natural photoperiod. Different spawning times (21:00 – 01:00 hours) and different photoperiods combined to give the start of the dusk photoperiod change after 11–23 h of incubation. Constant light or applying the dusk photoperiod change after ≥20 h of incubation appeared to extend the hatching period. The mean hatching period for groups of eggs incubated in darkness or that received the dusk photoperiod change after ≤19 h of incubation (n=8 different groups) was 2 h 15±10 min, which was significantly lower (P<0.05) than the mean hatching period of 4 h±37 min for groups that did not receive the dusk photoperiod change or that received the dusk photoperiod change after ≥20 h of incubation (n=9 groups). However, despite these differences, the majority of the eggs hatched during a 2–3 h period from 17 to 20 h of incubation, and a sigmoid regression (r²=0.9) explained the relationship between percentage hatch and hours of incubation for all photoperiod groups.     

光照对纤细裸藻生长及光合色素含量影响的研究

为探讨光照对纤细裸藻的生长以及光合色素含量的影响,将纤细裸藻分别置于不同光照度(0、1500、3000、4500、6000 lx)、光照周期(16L∶8D、14L∶10D、12L∶12D、10L∶14D、8L∶16D)、光质(绿光495~530 nm、蓝光450~480 nm、红光615~650 nm、白光450~465 nm、黄光580~595 nm)条件下于恒温光照培养箱中静置培养,进行细胞密度以及色素含量的测定。试验结果显示,光照度、光照周期和光质对纤细裸藻生长及光合色素质量浓度有显著影响( P <0.05)。光照度1500、3000、4500 lx对纤细裸藻的生长均有积极作用,其中3000 lx光照度作用最为显著,细胞生长状态良好,光合色素质量浓度也高于1500、4500 lx;光照周期16L∶8D、14L∶10D和12L∶12D对纤细裸藻的生长有促进作用,其中14L∶10D组生长状况和光合色素质量浓度均优于其他处理组,8L∶16D组使纤细裸藻的生长受到抑制,其色素质量浓度也显著低于其他处理组( P <0.05);蓝光与白光组对纤细裸藻生长有显著促进作用( P <0.05),蓝光条件下色素质量浓度达到最高,更利于光合色素的积累。试验结果表明,适宜纤细裸藻生长及光合色素积累的光照条件为:光照度3000 lx,光照周期14L∶10D,蓝光培养。     

Growth and age at first maturity in turbot and halibut reared under different photoperiods

The effect of extended photoperiods on growth and age at first maturity was investigated in 166 (79 females and 87 males) individually tagged Atlantic halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus and in 114 (50 females and 64 males) individually tagged turbot Scophthalmus maximus. The halibut were reared at 11 °C on four different light regimes from 10 February to 6 July 1996: simulated natural photoperiod, (LDN), continuous light (LD24:0), constant 8 h light and 16 h darkness (LD8:16) and LD8:16 switched to continuous light 4 May 1996 (LD8:16–24:0). From 6 July 1996 to 9 February 1998 the LD24:0 and LD8:16–24:0 were reared together under continuous light and the LDN and LD8:16 together under natural photoperiod. The turbot were reared at 16 °C on three different light regimes: constant light (LD24:0), 16 h light:8 h darkness (LD16:8), or simulated natural photoperiod (LDN). After 6 months on the different photoperiods, the turbot was reared together on LDN for approximately 12 months until first maturation. Juveniles subjected to continuous light (halibut) or extended photoperiods (halibut and turbot) exhibited faster growth than those experiencing a natural photoperiod or a constant short day. Moreover, when the photoperiod increased naturally with day-length or when fish were abruptly switched from being reared on short-day conditions to continuous light, a subsequent increase in growth rate was observed. This growth enhancing effect of extended photoperiods was more apparent on a short time scale in Atlantic halibut than in turbot, but both species show significant long-term effects of extended photoperiods in the form of enhanced growth. In both species lower maturation of males was seen in groups exposed to extended or continuous light compared to LDN and this could be used to reduce precocious maturation in males leading to overall increase in somatic growth. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Effects of different photoperiods on growth, stress and haematological parameters in juvenile great sturgeon Huso huso

The effects of constant light (24L:00D), no light (00L:24D) and two light–dark periods (18L:06D;12L:12D) on the growth, stress and haematological variables were assessed in juvenile great sturgeon, Huso huso . During the 8-week experimental period, juveniles (22.5 ± 0.6 g) were kept under a 150 lx light intensity in fibreglass tanks (0.8 m², 500 L). Differences in growth were insignificant during the experiment, but lactate levels were higher in the 00L:24D and 24L:00D photoperiods compared with 12L:12D and 18L:06D photoperiods. Cortisol levels did not show differences among the various photoperiods. At the end of the experimental period, fish reared under a 12L:12D photoperiod had higher haemoglobin values and erythrocyte numbers than in the other photoperiods, while no differences were found between groups with regard to haematocrit values or leucocyte numbers. The highest survival rate (89%) was observed in the 12L:12D period in which the levels of lactate and cortisol as stress indicators were minimal. The results indicate that various photoperiods cause different stress levels in juvenile great sturgeon and have no significant effects on growth, at least in short time periods.     

Larval survival,development and growth in the horsehair crab,Erimacrus isenbeckii,cultured under different photoperiod conditions

Larval sinking causes larval mass mortality during seed production in the horsehair crab, Erimacrus isenbeckii. Under normal light conditions, horsehair crab larvae generally show negative phototactic behaviour and sink in their rearing seawater. It has been proposed that culturing larvae in the dark may prevent larval sinking. Herein, we examined the effect of photoperiods on horsehair crab larval survival and development to facilitate the development of larval rearing techniques that prevent sinking. Newly hatched larvae were reared with Artemia to the first crab stage in 2‐L beakers under five photoperiods: 0L:24D, 6L:18D, 12L:12D, 18L:6D and 24L:0D. Larvae survived and molted to the first crab stage under all tested photoperiod conditions. The survival rate improved with increasing light period, whereas the developmental period for each larval stage decreased with increasing light period. Longer light periods increased the carapace length at the first crab stage. Our results suggest that larvae could be cultured to the first crab stage in large‐scale tanks under constant darkness. However, significantly improved larval performance under longer photoperiodic conditions indicates a need for developing alternative culture techniques to control larval behaviour in the seed production tank.     

The effect of photoperiod on growth, survival, colour and activity of juvenile southern rock lobster, Jasus edwardsii

Juvenile (1–10 g) southern rock lobsters, Jasus edwardsii, were subjected to five photoperiods [0L(light):24D(dark); 6L:18D; 12L:12D; 18L:6D; 24L:0D] during a 112‐day trial, and growth, survival, colour, food consumption and activity were examined. Lobsters grown under the 6L:18D and 24L:0D photoperiods had significantly lower (P < 0.05) final mean weight and specific growth rate than any other treatments. Photoperiod had no effect on survival or colour of lobsters. Food consumption differed significantly during the first week of the trial; after 5 weeks, food consumption was similar in all treatments. Major peaks in activity occurred during dark periods for lobsters exposed to photoperiods that had a light:dark regime. Activity of lobsters exposed to continuous light or dark regimes remained constant and at low levels during the 24‐h period. Food consumption or activity does not appear to determine the rate of growth of lobsters in the different photoregimes. One over‐riding outcome of this and other studies on photoperiod is that the growth and survival response of juvenile J. edwardsii was not significantly better than those of the standard 12L:12D cycle.     

Effects of photoperiod on growth and spawning efficiency of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) broodstock in a recycling system

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of photoperiod on the growth, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and spawning performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) broodstock. Duplicate groups of two males (66±3.04 g) and six females (50.5±1.58 g) were stocked in 0.4 m³ fibreglass tanks in a recirculating water system at a male:female ratio of 1:3. The fish were subjected to four photoperiod treatments: 24:0 light:dark (L:D), 18L:6D, 12L:12D and 6L:18D. Light intensity was kept constant at about 2500 lx throughout the study. The fish were fed a commercial tilapia diet (35% crude protein and 16.6 MJ GE kg⁻¹) at a daily rate of 2–3% of tank biomass, twice a day, for 130 days. Males grew significantly faster than females under all photoperiod regimes. The best growth rate and FCR were attained at 18L:6D, followed by 24L:0D, 12L:12D and 6L:18D respectively. The number of eggs per female, number of eggs per spawn and number of spawnings per female were all significantly higher in the 12L:12D treatment than in all other photoperiod cycles. Interspawning intervals and days elapsed per spawn were also shorter in the 12L:12D treatment. The time to first spawning was slightly longer in the 24L:0D and 6L:18D than in 12L:12D and 18L:6D light phases. The 18L:6D and 6L:18D photoperiods produced the lowest spawning performance. It is concluded that a 12L:12D photoperiod regime should be adopted for maximum fecundity, seed production and spawning frequencies of Nile tilapia broodstock reared in intensive, recirculating systems. If maximum reproduction is desired, a near‐natural day length photoperiod should be used.
