中华绒螯蟹血细胞体外吞噬能力的研究

通过体外制备血细胞单层的方法,研究了中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)血细胞对蜡状芽孢杆菌(Bacil-luscereus)及鼠红细胞的吞噬能力,并探讨了血清孵育对血细胞吞噬能力的影响。结果表明,以vanHARREV-ALD氏液配制的浓度为100.0mg·mL-1的L-cysteine溶液可以作为中华绒螯蟹血淋巴的抗凝剂,中华绒螯蟹血细胞在20℃下培养1h的存活率可维持在(92.5±0.9)%。中华绒螯蟹血细胞贴壁后呈扁平状,胞质可沿玻片表面迅速伸展并伸出类似于伪足的原生质突起,具有吞噬能力,对蜡状芽胞杆菌吞噬率为(5.1±1.4)%,不能吞噬鼠红细胞,血清孵育不能增强中华绒螯蟹血细胞的吞噬能力。     

枯草芽孢杆菌基因组DNA对中华绒螯蟹非特异性免疫因子的影响

将枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtzlis)基因组DNA按5、20和80μg/kg剂量体腔注射中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)(约0.1 mL/只),设注射等体积TE缓冲液为对照组,分别在第1、3、5、7天采样,测定该细菌DNA对中华绒螯蟹的免疫刺激作用。结果显示:注射上述3种剂量的枯草芽孢杆菌基因组DNA均能不同程度地提高中华绒螯蟹的THC、血细胞呼吸爆发活性和血清PO、ACP活性,试验组蟹的上述免疫指标的活性显著高于对照组(P<0.05),并以20μg/kg体重剂量的刺激效果最好;但试验剂量的细菌DNA对血清ALP活性无显著影响(P>0.05)。     

中华绒螯蟹血清中外源凝集素的凝集作用及影响因素

中华绒螯蟹血清中的凝集素可凝集人、兔、豚鼠、小白鼠、鹌鹑、鸡、蟾蜍、鳝鱼等动物血细胞,但不凝集鲫鱼血细胞;此外,该凝集素亦可凝集双球菌、蕈状芽孢杆菌、蜡样芽孢杆菌、枯草杆菌等细菌。该凝集素凝集活性可被L-山梨糖、D-果糖、D-半乳糖轻微抑制,并表现出对pH和温度的广泛适应性,在pH为2－12,温度为8℃－64℃范围内均具凝集活性。中华绒螯蟹血清中的凝集素对上述几种动物血细胞的凝集效价高于罗氏沼虾和克螯虾。     

中华绒螯蟹血淋巴抗凝剂的筛选

选用草酸钾等 10种抗凝剂对中华绒螯蟹血淋巴进行抗凝试验，结果表明，1．67倍抗凝剂 8(0．23 mol/LNaCl、0．17mol/L葡萄糖、50．00mmol/L柠檬酸三钠、43．33mmol/L柠檬酸、16．67mmol/LEDTA- Na₂，pH5．5)为中华绒螯蟹血淋巴一种比较理想的抗凝剂，当抗凝剂与血淋巴体积比为 2∶5时，这种抗凝剂不仅能有效延长中华绒螯蟹血淋巴的凝固时间达69．8min以上，而且还能较好地维持中华绒螯蟹血细胞形态的完整性。     

中华绒螯蟹血淋巴抗菌活性的初步研究

主要研究了中华绒螯蟹血清和血细胞破碎上清液(HLS)对大肠杆菌、嗜水气单胞菌、蜡状芽胞杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌的抗菌活性、不同浓度HLS对抗菌活性的影响以及血清中抗菌活性的诱导作用。结果显示,只有HLS对大肠杆菌、嗜水气单胞菌表现出显著的抗菌活性,而血清对4种菌、HLS对蜡状芽胞杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌均未表现出抗菌活性;随着HLS浓度的降低,大肠杆菌的细菌存活指数(SI)迅速上升,抗菌活性迅速下降,HLS浓度高低直接影响抗菌活性的强弱;通过注射灭活大肠杆菌,血清在1~24h内表现出抗菌活性的诱导作用,在6h时抗菌活性最强。

图像流式细胞仪在中华绒螯蟹血细胞分群及吞噬功能研究中的应用

为了更精确地对甲壳动物血细胞进行快速分类和功能分析,本研究以中华绒螯蟹为例,依据其血细胞内具有颗粒结构的特征,与常规显微观察对比,探讨了一种基于图像流式细胞仪的血细胞自动化分类新方法,并测量了体质量为(10±3) g的中华绒螯蟹的血细胞对直径1μm微球的吞噬情况。结果显示,两种方法都可将中华绒螯蟹血细胞分为4个类群。显微镜观察分类基于胞内可见颗粒,但由于缺乏精细的量化标准,批次样品的人工辨识结果波动较大;而图像流式方法以胞内全部颗粒结构为对象,利用高精度检测模块测量,结果更准确、客观,而且通量高、重复性好。测量结果显示,中华绒螯蟹血淋巴中无颗粒、小颗粒、中颗粒及大颗粒细胞占比分别为40.62%±2.65%、36.68%±6.84%、7.80%±1.16%和16.51%±5.60%,依据测量的颗粒特征区分的4个类群界限清晰,缺乏过渡样点,提示各类细胞之间可能没有相互转化。进一步的活体微球吞噬实验证实,中华绒螯蟹的4类血细胞都具有吞噬功能,并以无颗粒细胞为主要吞噬类群;吞噬微球的细胞比例在注射后6 h内呈钟型曲线变化,4 h可达峰值(5.69%±0.44%),表明中华绒螯蟹血细胞能高效清除血淋巴中的异物。研究表明,图像流式细胞仪适合于中华绒螯蟹的血细胞分类分析和功能研究,本研究结果为同类研究提供了重要参考,将有助于更全面了解甲壳动物血细胞的功能。

中华绒螯蟹血清凝集素的生物学特性

将中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)血清凝集素与动物(鳖、鲫鱼、鸡、鸽、兔、鼠、人A、B、O型)红细胞和细菌(八叠球菌、嗜水气单胞菌、短小芽孢杆菌、大肠杆菌、葡萄球菌、假单胞菌和拟态弧菌)进行凝集反应。结果表明,中华绒螯蟹血清凝集素有明显的选择性,与小白鼠红细胞和八叠球菌的凝集活性最高(P<0.01)。血清凝集价在蟹个体之间变化范围较大,性别之间无显著差异(P>0.05)。10 mmol/L的CaCl2和300 mmol/L的NaCl不影响凝集素与小鼠红细胞和细菌的凝集活性,600 mmol/L的NaCl可降低其活性。pH 5~9不影响蟹凝集素活性,但400 mmol/L的EDTA在pH 7.0可部分抑制其活性,100 mmol/L的EDTA在pH 5.0则可完全抑制其活性。在细菌刺激下,中华绒螯蟹血清凝集素活性在2 d达到峰值,随后逐步缓慢下降。接种细菌(八叠球菌)的数量(3.0×109~9.0×109)显著影响血清凝集素的产生(P<0.05),而环境水温度(18~30℃)和蟹体质量(35~80 g)的影响则不显著(P>0.05)。

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.     

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.     

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.     

美人鱼发光杆菌对凡纳滨对虾非特异性 免疫功能及抗病力的影响

在基础饲料中分别添加0.1%和1%美人鱼发光杆菌灭活菌、0.1%美人鱼发光杆菌活菌配制成3种免疫实验饲料,以基础饲料为空白对照组饲料,每组设3个平行样。对个体质量为(4.83±0.36)g的凡纳滨对虾进行为期20 d的饲养实验,分别在0、5、10、15和20d进行取样,以血清中的酚氧化酶(PO)、酸性磷酸酶(ACP)、碱性磷酸酶(AKP)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和溶菌酶(UL)活性为免疫指标,探讨了美人鱼发光杆菌作为免疫制剂对凡纳滨对虾非特异性免疫效应的影响;在投喂免疫饲料后的第22天,按0.004 2 kg/kg体重的剂量,直接投喂对虾白斑综合征病毒(WSSV)病料,并记录累积死亡率。结果表明,美人鱼发光杆菌免疫实验组对凡纳滨对虾血清中PO、ACP、AKP、UL和SOD活性影响明显高于对照组,并且在饲料中添加美人鱼发光杆菌后,明显提高了对虾抵御WSSV感染的能力。其中0.1%美人鱼发光杆菌活菌实验组的抗病毒感染能力最强,WSSV感染14d内累计死亡率为63.3%±5.8%;而对照组为96.7%±3.3%。研究表明,美人鱼发光杆菌添加在对虾饲料中能提高凡纳滨对虾非特异性免疫水平,增强抵抗疾病的能力,将其作为对虾免疫增强剂具有良好的应用前景。     

Effects of Spirulina platensis as a feed additive on growth and coloration of blue dolphin cichlids (Cyrtocara moorii Boulunger, 1902)

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of replacing fish meal with dietary Spirulina as a feed supplement on the growth performance and coloration of blue dolphin cichlids (Cyrtocara moorii). Five isonitrogenous (47% crude protein) and isocaloric (17.36 kJ/g digestible energy) diets were for formulated to replace FM with 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% Spirulina (designated as Control, SP5, SP10, SP15 and SP20 respectively) and fed to the fish (initial body weight, 3.15 ± 0.01 g). Fish were randomly distributed into fifteen 120 L aquariums (26.5 ± 1.00°C), 15 fish per aquarium. The diets were tested in triplicate for 12 weeks. Experimental groups were fed twice daily (09:00 and 17:00) by hand to satiation. At the end of the feeding trial, significantly (p < 0.05) higher weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) were observed in fish fed the SP10 diet when compared to the SP20 diet. There was no significant difference in these parameters between the other groups. The skin coloration of blue dolphin cichlid fed a diet containing Spirulina meal was enhanced. The best coloration was observed in the SP15 group. These impressions were objectively validated by chemical determinations of carotenoids extracted from fish skins and passed statistical tests of significance. The study findings show that Spirulina meal does not diminish growth rates except at very high levels.     

Dietary thiamin and pyridoxine requirements of fingerling Indian major carp,Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton)

Two experiments were conducted to quantify the dietary thiamin (experiment I) and pyridoxine (experiment II) requirements of fingerling Cirrhinus mrigala for 16 weeks. In experiment I, dietary thiamin requirement was determined by feeding seven casein–gelatin‐based diets (400 g kg^?1 CP; 18.69 kJ g^?1 GE) with graded levels of thiamin (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 mg kg^?1 diet) to triplicate groups of fish (6.15 ± 0.37 cm; 1.89 ± 0.12 g). Fish fed diet with 2 mg kg^?1 thiamin had highest specific growth rate (SGR), protein retention (PR), RNA/DNA ratio, haemoglobin (Hb), haematocrit (Hct), RBCs and best feed conversion ratio (FCR). However, highest liver thiamin concentration was recorded in fish fed 4 mg thiamin kg^?1 diet. Broken‐line analysis of SGR, PR and liver thiamin concentrations exhibited the thiamin requirement in the range of 1.79–3.34 mg kg^?1 diet (0.096–0.179 μg thiamin kJ^?1 gross energy). In experiment II, six casein–gelatin‐based diets (400 g kg^?1 CP; 18.69 kJ g^?1 GE) containing graded levels of pyridoxine (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 mg kg^?1 diet) were fed to triplicate groups of fish (6.35 ± 0.37 cm; 1.97 ± 0.12 g). Fish fed diet containing 6 mg kg^?1 pyridoxine showed best SGR, FCR, PR, RNA/DNA ratio, Hb, Hct and RBCs, whereas maximum liver pyridoxine concentration was recorded in fish fed 8 mg kg^?1 dietary pyridoxine. Broken‐line analysis of SGR, PR and liver pyridoxine concentrations reflected the pyridoxine requirement from 5.63 to 8.61 mg kg^?1 diet. Data generated during this study would be useful in formulating thiamin‐ and pyridoxine‐balanced feeds for the intensive culture of this fish.     

Sea bream culture in Egypt; status, constraints and potential

Marine fish farming in Egypt began in 1976 with the culture of gilthead sea bream, (Sparus aurata) as this fish was notably adaptable to brackish and marine pond conditions. Today, marine fish and shrimp farms amount to about 19,000 ha, out of which 42% is already in production while the rest, i.e., 58% is still under construction. In 1997, cultured gilthead sea bream production of 2,250 tons made up 3% of the 75,000 tons total aquaculture catch. In polyculture, usually with the grey mullet and sea bass, gilthead sea bream contributed 440 kg ha^–1 to the total yield of 1,700 kg ha^–1 (26%) over a period of 16 months. For the same period, the yield of monoculture ponds averaged 100 kg ha^–1, while in marine cages, yields ranged from 4–10 kg m³. In 1996–1997, fry of 0.25–1 g and fingerlings 1–10 g with a total of 3 million, were collected from the wild and 1 million fry were produced in the three marine hatcheries out of the four existing ones. The development of sea bream culture in Egypt is now severely inhibited by the shortage of seeds and adequate feeds. Exports of both sea bream and sea bass, during 1994–1996 averaged 1,300 tons per year.     

A Minchinia mercenariae‐like parasite infects cockles Cerastoderma edule in Galicia (NW Spain)

The cockle Cerastoderma edule fishery has traditionally been the most important shellfish species in terms of biomass in Galicia (NW Spain). In the course of a survey of the histopathological conditions affecting this species in the Ria of Arousa, a haplosporidan parasite that had not been observed in Galicia was detected in one of the most productive cockle beds of Galicia. Uni‐ and binucleate cells and multinucleate plasmodia were observed in the connective tissue mainly in the digestive area, gills and gonad. The parasite showed low prevalence, and it was not associated with abnormal cockle mortality. Molecular identification showed that this parasite was closely related to the haplosporidan Minchinia mercenariae that had been reported infecting hard clams Mercenaria mercenaria from the Atlantic coast of the United States. The molecular characterization of its SSU rDNA region allowed obtaining a fragment of 1,796 bp showing 98% homology with M. mercenariae parasite. Phylogenetic analysis supported this identification as this parasite was clustered in the same clade as M. mercenariae from the United States and other M. mercenariae‐like sequences from the UK, with bootstrap value of 99%. The occurrence of M. mercenariae‐like parasites infecting molluscs outside the United States is confirmed.     

Involvement of gonadal steroids in final oocyte maturation of white perch (Morone americana) and white bass (M. chrysops): in vivo and in vitro studies

Plasma estradiol-17 (E₂), testosterone (T), 17,20-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP) and 17,20,21-tri-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (20-S) levels were measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) in white perch (Morone americana) and white bass (M. chrysops) that were induced to undergo final oocyte maturation (FOM) with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Plasma DHP levels increased in females of both species in association with oocyte germinal vesicle migration (GVM) and germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and decreased thereafter. Plasma 20-S levels also increased with oocyte GVM in white bass, but were several-fold lower than DHP levels. Circulating E₂ and T levels were greatest during GVM and GVBD in both species and decreased to low levels during oocyte hydration and ovulation. Follicles from white perch and white bass which received a priming injection of hCG in vivo, produced both DHP and 20-S in vitro after exposure to hCG and their oocytes underwent GVBD. Ovarian incubates from unprimed fish of either species produced only E₂ and T and their oocytes did not complete GVBD. Oocytes from unprimed bass, but not perch, matured when follicles were exposed to hCG in vitro. Both trilostane and cycloheximide blocked in vitro production of DHP and 20-S and oocyte GVBD by white perch follices. DHP and 20-S were equipotent inducers of FOM in the GVBD bioassay. None of several other structurally-related steroids tested were effective within a physiological range of concentrations. These results indicate a role for DHP and 20-S in the control of FOM in white perch and white bass.
