Common carp were exposed to two routine therapeutic concentrations of copper sulfate (10 mg/l in 1 h and 1 mg/l in 24 h).
At different times after the copper sulfate bath (1, 2, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days), the copper concentrations in liver and muscle
of carp was determined by means of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showed that the concentration of copper
is significantly higher in liver than in muscle in all groups (p < 0.01). Concentrations of copper in liver and muscle in long-term bath groups were also significantly higher than short-term
bath (p < 0.05). The concentration of copper in the livers of the control group was 174.2 ± 5.2 mg/kg. This value was significantly
lower than the experimental groups even at 30 days after long-term baths (p < 0.01) but was not significantly higher than short-term bath (p > 0.05). The concentration of copper in the muscle of the control group was 22 ± 3.2 mg/kg, this value was significantly
lower than for the short-term and long-term groups (p < 0.01). In livers, copper concentrations in short and long-term bath increased to an average of 281.6 ± 17.1 and 397.8 ± 31.2 mg/kg,
respectively, by day 1 of treatment and then significantly declined to 189.8 ± 9.6 and 203.5 ± 8.9 mg/kg by 30 days post-treatment
(p < 0.05). In muscles, copper concentrations in short-term bath increased from 39.1 ± 4.7 in first day of treatment to 50.8 ± 6.5 mg/kg
in 30th day, but not significantly (p > 0.05), while in long-term bath it decreased significantly from 127 ± 13.6 to 43.2 ± 2.7 mg/kg (p < 0.05).

During a growout period of 14 weeks, the productive performance, organosomatic indices and body composition of the Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus cultivated at high density reusing the water from systems with biofloc technology (BFT) were evaluated. Two treatments: tilapia cultured in biofloc (TB) and tilapia cultured in reused water biofloc (RW) were established. Mixed sex, juvenile Nile tilapia (average weight and length: 79.28 ± 14.44 g and 12.44 ± 0.70 cm) were stocked into 6 experimental units (0.2 m3) at a density of 100 fish/m3. Temperature, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved salts, pH, NH4–N, NH3–N and NO3–N were recorded daily, while NO2–N, general hardness, carbonate hardness and settleable solids were recorded weekly. The weight and length of the tilapias were recorded biweekly. Survival, productive performance, proximal composition and organosomatic indices of Nile tilapia were evaluated. The water parameters in RW treatment such as pH, total dissolved salts, NO2–N, NO3–N and carbonate hardness were significantly greater (p < 0.05), when compared to those obtained in TB treatment. Survival rate was > 98% under both treatments. The final weight (TB = 163.09 ± 42.34 g, RW = 159.23 ± 39.92 g), protein (19.1%) and lipid (2.2%) content of the tilapia were non-significantly different between treatments. In addition, no significant differences in the gonadosomatic and hepatosomatic indices were observed either between tilapia sex or between the treatments. The results suggest that the intensive cultivation of Nile tilapia in biofloc can be established using reuse water from BFT systems, without adverse effects on their survival, productive performance, proximal composition and gonadal development. 相似文献

Biofloc technology system (BFT), recirculation aquaculture system (RAS) and polyculture promote efficient use of water, area and nutrient recycling, which are essential practices for sustainable aquaculture development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth, feed efficiency, biofloc composition and water quality of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) in monoculture and polyculture with giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man, 1906) in BFT and RAS, over a period of 30 days. Fish (n = 128; 7.29 ± 0.67 g) were distributed randomly in 16 experimental tanks (8 fish/tank). Prawn (n = 96; 0.50 ± 0.09 g) were allocated in 8 experimental tanks (12 prawn/tank) in a polyculture. The experimental design was completely randomized with four treatments with four replicates each, in a factorial design 2 × 2 (BFT and RAS vs. monoculture and polyculture). The experimental diet (28% of digestible protein; 3100 kcal kg−1 of digestible energy) was used both to fish and prawn in BFT and RAS. There was significant effect (p < 0.01) of the system and the culture for weight gain, apparent feed conversion and protein efficiency ratio. The average weight gain and apparent feed conversion of tilapia in monoculture (30.04 g and 1.39) and in polyculture (36.44 g and 1.27) were superior (p < 0.01) in BFT than in monoculture (23.64 g and 1.74) and in polyculture (24.14 g and 1.61) in RAS. Weight gain and survival of giant freshwater prawn was superior (p < 0.01) in BFT (0.43 g and 87%) compared to RAS (0.26 g and 79%). The data showed that BFT provides better growth performance responses in monoculture for Nile tilapia and in polyculture with giant freshwater prawn compared to RAS. 相似文献

The effects of feeding live or frozen grass shrimp (Palaemonetes varians) to the cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, were determined in two experiments. During Experiment I, two populations of 30 cuttlefish (aged 90 days old) were fed either
live or frozen grass shrimp. Cuttlefish fed live shrimp grew larger, matured earlier, had a shorter life cycle (255 days)
than the ones fed frozen shrimp (282 days), and had lower mortality. Females from the group fed frozen shrimp matured a month
later but were significantly larger, 130.9 ± 38.5 g, compared to 74.2 ± 16.0 g, laid larger eggs, 0.47 ± 0.11 g, compared
to 0.28 ± 0.10 g, and had higher individual fecundity (411 eggs female−1, compared to 150 eggs female−1). Newly born hatchlings from both groups had similar weights. During Experiment II, six replicates of 15 cuttlefish (50 days
old) were used, three for each of the two diets tested. The exact same amount of live or frozen shrimp was provided to both
populations twice a day. No differences in growth and feeding rates or food conversions were found at the end of the experiment.
During the first week, cuttlefish fed frozen shrimp grew larger, and had higher conversion rates, compared to the ones fed
live shrimp. Mortality was higher for the group fed live shrimp (36.6%) in Experiment II, mainly occurring during the last
week. Mortality for cuttlefish fed frozen shrimp in Experiment II was 2.2%. Results obtained here indicate that freezing the
grass shrimp only had a negative effect on the survival of S. officinalis in Experiment I.

This paper reports on 5 experiments conducted to assess the effect of cleaning regime and predation on growth and survival
of blacklip pearl oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) juveniles in north Queensland, Australia. P. margaritifera juveniles with a mean (±SE) dorso-ventral shell height (DVH) of 4.5 ± 0.1 mm were placed into plastic mesh trays and cleaned
either every 4 or 8 weeks or left uncleaned for 16 weeks. Cleaning regime had a significant effect on growth and survival
(P < 0.005). Lowest DVH (16.2 ± 1.0) was shown by oysters in uncleaned trays during 16 weeks compared to oysters in cleaned
trays; however, there was no significant difference in DVH between oysters held in trays cleaned every 4 (19.4 ± 1.2) or 8
weeks (21.2 ± 0.8). In contrast lowest survival was shown by oysters held in trays that were cleaned every 4 weeks (30 ± 5%),
but no differences were noted between oysters cleaned every 8 weeks (63 ± 4%) and oysters that were left uncleaned for 16
weeks (75 ± 8%). Predators of P. margaritifera in northern Australia included crabs, stomatopods, flatworms, gastropods and fish. The stomatopod, Gonodactylus falcatus, was the most destructive predator with individuals consuming in excess of 20 juvenile pearl oysters per week. The leather
jacket, Paramonocanthus japonicus, did not kill pearl oysters, but trimmed the margin of oysters shells significantly reducing DVH when compared to control
groups cultured without fish. Removing predators monthly had a significant effect on growth of pearl oysters compared to oysters
in non-inspected trays; however monthly inspection of culture trays did not significantly improve oyster survival.

l-Carnitine plays a key role in the regulation of energy metabolism and growth in fish. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of dietary l-carnitine levels on carnitine homeostasis and energy metabolism in diploid and triploid trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Diploid and triploid trout (29.5 ± 0.6 and 31.8 ± 0.5 g, respectively) were fed with three diets supplemented with 15, 200 or 530 mg l-carnitine/kg, respectively, for 56 days. Compared to 15 mg l-carnitine, total carnitine content increased in the liver by 182% in diploid and by 154% in triploid trout fed 530 mg l-carnitine. In muscle, total carnitine content increased by 60 and 73% in diploid and by 34 and 75% in triploid with the increase in dietary l-carnitine levels. l-Carnitine caused no significant change in the plasma concentrations of metabolites like proteins (ammonia, urea and protein), lipid (triglycerides), carbohydrate (glucose, lactate) and enzyme activities (lipase, lactate, alanine transaminase, lactic acid dehydrogenase). Triploid trout had significantly lower plasma ammonia (P = 0.003), lipase (P = 0.005) and triiodothyronine (T3; P = 0.003) levels than diploid trout. In conclusion, ploidy significantly affected the energy metabolism in rainbow trout, dietary l-carnitine levels altered the l-carnitine homeostasis, but not influence nutritional metabolism. 相似文献

In fish, regulation of the growth hormone (GH) receptor has been mainly analyzed by binding studies, with some discrepancies in the results. The present work aims at determining whether circulating GH levels influence the measurement of hepatic GH-binding capacities. To do this, the effectiveness of the dissociation of the GH/GH receptor (GHR) complex by an MgCl2 treatment was assessed in rainbow trout, and data on GH-binding capacities under various physiological conditions were studied using different means of expression. Our results reveal that MgCl2 treatment dissociated the liver GH/GHR complex formed under in vitro conditions (85 ± 23 vs. 361 ± 16 fmol/g of liver; p<0.001) but not in vivo, showing such treatment in trout is not applicable. A comparison of fasted (3 weeks) and fed fish revealed that GH-binding capacities, expressed as femtomoles per milligram protein or femtomoles per gram of liver, were similar in both fed and fasted fish. However, when changes in liver and body size were taken into account, the total GH-binding capacities were lower in the fasted fish (0.026 ± 0.006 vs. 0.062 ± 0.009 fmol/cm3 liver; p<0.05). One day after hypophysectomy or GH injection, changes in the plasma GH levels increased or decreased GH-binding capacities, respectively. Five days later, GH-binding capacities increased in GH-injected fish (527 ± 38 vs. 399 ± 38 fmol/g liver; p<0.01). Our interpretation is that acute treatment modified GH-binding capacities through receptor occupancy and that GH stimulated the synthesis of its own receptor. On the other hand, long-term treatment through successive injections of GH lowered the total binding capacities (approx. 40%), which could result from receptor occupancy. We conclude that circulating GH levels strongly influence the measurement of GH-binding capacities in the liver, thereby limiting interpretation of the binding data and preventing accurate conclusions to be drawn on GHR regulation. 相似文献

Most of the 27 species of sturgeons are endangered or close to extinction which is connected to habitat degradation, water pollution and overfishing. Conservation programmes are facing the problem of late maturation which can be reached between 5 and 11 years depending on the species and gender. The aim of our study was to investigate the possibility of shortening the sexual maturation using hormonal administration, and measure the blood serum hormone content to distinguish different genders and maturation stages. There was no effect of a 20-week-long hormonal treatment (10 mg carp pituitary/bodyweight kg/week) on the sexual maturation. The number of females was relatively high (67.6% n = 23) and the number of males was relatively low (11.8%, n = 4). Moreover, the number of hermaphroditic fish was surprisingly high (20.6%, n = 7) and appeared independently from hormone administration. Hermaphroditic fish had fully developed spermatozoa and could be distinguished by the increased level of testosterone hormone in blood serum. 相似文献

The indiscriminate use of antibiotics and chemicals in shrimp hatcheries has led to biomagnification and that in turn could
lead to rejection of a whole consignment. The application of the bioencapsulation technique as a tool for curative treatment
in shrimp larvae was investigated. Herbs having antibacterial properties such as Solanum trilobatum, Andrographis paniculata and Psoralea corylifolia (methanolic extracts) were bioencapsulated in Artemia and fed to Penaeus monodon post larvae PL 1–25. The post larvae were reared in a medium inoculated with pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Vibrio sp. Post larvae reared in the non-inoculated water and fed with non-enriched Artemia exhibited 90% survival, highest specific growth rate (12.43%) and reduced bacterial load. P. monodon reared in the bacterial inoculated water and fed with the non-enriched Artemia exhibited the lowest survival (10–30%), specific growth rate (8.42–9.1%) and increased bacterial load (2.86 × 103 to 3.76 × 105 cfu/g). The methanolic extracts of the herbs helped to increase survival and specific growth rate and reduced bacterial load
in the P. monodon culture system. Among the three herbal extracts, P. corylifolia enriched Artemia fed post larvae showed the tendency to higher survival (>50%), growth rate (11.5 averaged) and low bacterial load (1.12 × 105 cfu/g).

This study evaluated the effects of dietary Aloe vera polysaccharides on growth performance, feed utilization, hemato-biochemical parameters, and resistance against low water pH in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fingerlings. Fish were divided into five triplicate groups before being fed feeds supplemented with 0% (control), 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, and 4.0% A. vera/kg diet for 8 weeks. Fish fed 1.0% A. vera/kg diet had significantly increased (P < 0.05) growth parameters (i.e., final weight, weight gain, absolute growth rate, and specific growth rate) compared to unsupplemented ones. Among dietary groups, significantly lower feed conversion ratio was presented in fish fed 1.0% followed by those fed 0.5, 2.0%, and 4.0% A. vera/kg diet (P < 0.05). The protein efficiency ratio was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in fish fed 1.0% A. vera/kg diet compared to unsupplemented fish and those fed 4.0% A. vera/kg diet, respectively. Dietary A. vera polysaccharide crude extracts requirement suitable for growth and feed utilization was estimated to be between 1.76 and 1.79% A. vera/kg diet. Overall, A. vera extracts had improved hemato-biochemical indices when compared to unsupplemented fish, and decreased some of the indices, especially at high dietary inclusion level (4%/kg diet). Furthermore, A. vera-supplemented fish had higher survival probability throughout the low water pH challenge period, except those fed 4% A. vera/kg diet and control diet. 相似文献

Enrichment of Artemia nauplii with a known probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii (SB) and its role in enhancing resistance against the pathogen Vibrio
harveyi was investigated. SB was cultured, then fed to instar II Artemia nauplii in three different treatments; 102 (T1), 103 (T2) and 104 (T3) colony forming units (CFU) per ml in triplicate. The algae Nanochloropsis sp. was used as control diet. Survival and total count of CFU nauplii−1 was observed on different media (Sabouraud, for enumerating yeasts, thiosulphate citrate bile salts sucrose, for enumerating
Vibrio and seawater agar, for enumerating total aerobic flora) for each replication. Enhanced survival of nauplii was observed in
treatments as compared to control. Results indicated that enrichment of SB in Artemia nauplii proceeded in a linear fashion, and up to 3500 CFU of SB could be detected in one nauplii at 104 CFU ml−1 treatment. No conclusive trend could be observed in the count of Vibrio and total aerobic flora due to treatment. Enriched nauplii were then challenged with the pathogen V. harveyi for 24 and 48 h at a concentration of 6.1 × 106 CFU ml−1. The survival counts at 48 h showed that the resistance of the nauplii was significantly (P < 0.01) improved in those fed with 104 CFU ml−1 SB (90% survival rate after 48 h of challenge versus less than 40% for the infected control group without SB and treatments
T1 and T2). This study shows that SB, which has been used for the first time in an aquatic live feed organism, has a profound
beneficial effect on the nauplii by increasing its resistance to a pathogenic Vibrio infection.

The clownfish Amphiprion ocellaris is widely distributed in the coral reef ecosystems of tropical and subtropical regions of the West Indo Pacific, an area that hosts economically valuable species, and, thus, a suitable candidate for warm water aquaculture. This study determined the preferred temperature, critical threshold limits, represented by critical thermal maximum and critical thermal minimum, thermal window width, and aerobic metabolic scope of A. ocellaris clownfish acclimated to 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, and 35 °C. A positive response (P < 0.05) occurred when the preferred temperature significantly increased with increasing acclimation temperature. The preferred temperature obtained graphically was 30.0 °C. Acclimation temperature significantly affected the thermal tolerance which increased with acclimation temperature. The thermal window calculated for A. ocellaris was 301.5 °C2. The thermal metabolic scope obtained in animals acclimated at the interval from 23 to 32 °C (P > 0.05) had a mean value of 4240.8 mg O2 h−1 kg−1 w.w., revealing that A. ocellaris is a eurythermal species with a range of optimal physiological performance that closely matches the environmental conditions where it can be farmed. Therefore, the highest value of the thermal aerobic scopes corresponded to the intervals of the preferred temperature obtained for A. ocellaris. These results may partially explain their worldwide distribution pattern, as well as their aquaculture potential in tropical regions. 相似文献

This study aims to reveal the first report of the natural spawning of F1 hybrid grouper (TGGG), a crossbreed between the tiger grouper, Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × giant grouper, E. lanceolatus, since its first production in 2006. This marks the completion of its full cycle after a 10-year period. In order to establish a seed rearing protocol for a novel F2 hybrid TGGG, natural spawning, embryonic and larval developments were thoroughly observed. Five batches of natural spawning were recorded with an average of 1.50–15.3 kg eggs collected, while fertilization and hatching rates were recorded at 85.3–97.6%, and 63.0–98.3%, respectively. F2 larvae hatched out at 17:50 hours with an average body size of 1.74 ± 0.01 mm, and a yolk sac volume of 0.85 ± 0.197 mm3. The first feeding was initiated 3 days after hatching, which coincided with the onset of functional feeding apparatus and active swimming behavior. Larval dorsal and pelvic spines were formed at 6 days AH coupled with dynamic feeding activity, as more food was found in the digestive tract. Meanwhile, the F2 hybrid grouper shifted habitat from pelagic to benthic as early as 25 days AH, and entered a juvenile stage at 35 days AH, attaining a skin coloration similar to that of the F1 juvenile. This study concluded that naturally spawned eggs of F2 hybrid TGGG were exceptionally high in quality, although larvae were small and fragile, and performed vigorous feeding activities and cannibalistic behavior. Thus, these findings can serve as primary data to further develop the optimal rearing protocol to enhance the overall rearing performance. 相似文献

The culture of Sepia officinalis hatchlings and juveniles at different densities and enriched environments was investigated. Experiments were conducted to
determine effects of culture density and the use of a substrate on growth and survival. Experiment I studied the effect of
three different densities (52, 515 and 1544 hatchlings m−2). Experiment II tested the effects of the enriched environment, using a sandy bottom with pvc shelters. Experiment III tested
the effects of density on growth, survival, feeding rates and food conversions. Cuttlefish were fed live grass shrimp at rates
of 20% body weight per day (BW d−1). Grass shrimp (Palaemonetes varians) was supplied ad libitum as food in all experiments. In experiment I, growth was different between the three densities, with highest growth for density
of 515 hatchlings m−2. IGR was of 8.8, 9.6 and 9.2% BW d−1 for the three densities tested, respectively. Both groups of experiment II had similar growth. IGR was of 10.1 and 9.7% BW
d−1 for enriched and non-enriched environments, respectively. Densities of 10, 45 and 120 juvenile m−2 were used in experiment III. Significant differences in feeding rates were only found between densities of 10 and 120 cuttlefish
m−2 during the last week. Results indicate that culture of cuttlefish hatchlings could be done in a non-enriched environment,
with densities not exceeding 500 hatchlings m−2 and minimum bottom areas of about 600 cm2. Densities of 120 juveniles m−2 in a minimum area of about 1083 cm2 should be considered for juveniles between 5 and 25 g.

The objective of this study was to examine whether digestive capacity correlates with growth rate in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Ninety fish (1035±240 g; 478±36 mm) were assigned to one of three treatments: deprived of food for 5 weeks and then re-fed
for 24 days, deprived for 10 weeks and then re-fed for 24 days, or fed for 24 days without deprivation (controls). Three times
a week during feeding, the fish were provided with meals of capelin (Mallotus villosus) in excess. Within each treatment, ten fish were sacrificed before and twenty after the feeding period. The relative masses
of the pyloric caeca, intestine, and white muscle were determined. Cytochrome c oxidase (CCO), citrate synthase (CS), and
nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK) activities were assayed in the pyloric caeca, intestine, and muscle as was trypsin activity
in the pyloric caeca. During the re-feeding period, fish that had been deprived of food for 10 weeks showed compensatory growth,
growing 1.9 times faster than the controls (0.94±0.26 versus 0.50±0.31% body mass ⋅ day−1). Fish that displayed compensatory growth had a lower relative white muscle mass than controls (66.5±4.1% vs. 69.6±7.4%)
while the relative masses of the pyloric caeca (2.21±0.49% vs. 1.78±0.31%) and intestine (0.95±0.20% vs. 0.77±0.15%) were
greater than the controls, suggesting that the sizes of these digestive tissues might correlate with compensatory growth capacity.
Citrate synthase in the pyloric caeca was the only enzyme that showed higher activity during compensatory growth (8.57±0.94 U ⋅ g
tissue−1 compared to 7.13±1.03 U ⋅ g tissue−1 in the control group). This suggests that aerobic catabolic capacity of pyloric caeca could be related to growth capacity
during recovery, possibly via the energetic cost of digestive enzyme synthesis.

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.

To clarify the relationship between the quantity of food ingested by and the growth rate of the Japanese egg cockle Fulvia mutica (Reeve), we conducted a laboratory breeding experiment for 2 weeks and estimated the chlorophyll a (chl-a) concentrations in water and the increments in shell length and soft-body weight of this species under five chl-a concentrations. Moreover, we compared the relationship between cockle growth (changes in soft-body weight and shell length) and their feeding environment observed in the laboratory experiment with the results of a field investigation conducted at two sites in the Sea of Japan, Kumihama Bay (35°38′5″ N, 134°54′00″ E) and Kunda Bay (35°33′30″ N, 135°15′4″ E). The changes in soft-body weight were similar in both laboratory and field investigations, but those in shell length were not. We, therefore, considered shell length changes as unsuitable for evaluating the relationship between growth and feeding in F. mutica. Based on the changes in soft-body weight, it was possible to classify the feeding environment of this species into the following three types: (1) < 1.52 μg chl-a L−1, negative feeding environment for cockle growth; (2) 1.52–5.71 μg chl-a L−1, neutral feeding environment for cockle growth; (3) > 5.71 μg chl-a L−1, positive feeding environment for cockle growth (growth increased with increasing chl-a concentration up to about 11 μg chl-a L−1). These results indicate that maintaining chl-a concentration in the breeding water within 5.71–11 μg chl-a L−1 is desirable for rearing Japanese egg cockle. 相似文献

Concentrations of major seawater ions were monitored in six aquarium tanks at the New Jersey State Aquarium over a three-year
period. The ratios of these ions to chlorinity were compared to those in freshly prepared artificial seawater. The largest
aquarium tank (Ocean Tank) exhibits statistically significant (p<0.01) relative enrichment of potassium, calcium and strontium,
and relative depletion of magnesium and sulphate. The likely source of excess potassium is from potassium iodide added to
prevent goiter in sharks. Based on the excess potassium, a total amount of 650 μmol/kg iodide added over the years was calculated
for the Ocean Tank. The excess calcium observed in several tanks correlates with the presence of concrete or arbonaceous shells
in these tanks. In Ocean Tank, a calcium leaching rate of 6.7 kg/month was calculated. Continuous formation of white carbonaceous
precipitates serves as a sink for magnesium in Ocean Tank, and a magnesium removal rate of 5.1 kg/month was calculated. These
and other results show that concentrations of major ions in artificial seawater aquaria are affected by leaching, precipitation
and addition of food supplements, and these factors should be taken into account when preparing artificial seawater for aquarium
tanks with long water residence time.

Here an indigenously isolated microalgal strain Ascochloris spp. cultivated in synthetic medium was evaluated as an aquaculture feed supplement. The daily dietary supplement includes microalgal feed (AF) and commercial diet feed (CF) (as control), respectively. These diets were fed separately to the juvenile Clarias gariepinus fishes (n = 4) under controlled conditions for an experimental period of 100 days. The protein, glycogen and lipid contents in the muscle extracts were found to be marginally higher in fishes that were fed with CF than AF diet. Similarly, CF fishes showed significantly higher glutathione-s-transferase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and lipid peroxidase activities, except glutathione content. Zero mortality of the fishes with no significant difference in the overall body mass with the two dietary supplements strongly suggests that algal biomass could supplement the requisite nutrients for their metabolic activities. This preliminary investigation helps in exploring algal biomass as a potential alternative feed additive in the aquaculture industry. 相似文献

Three forms of female-specific plasma protein (FSPP 1-3) were purified from blood plasma of estrogen-treated white perch (Morone americana) by combining several types of ion-exchange chromatography including a novel, fast flow, strong anion exchanger (POROS media),
followed by gel filtration. Native FSPP 1, FSPP 2 and FSPP 3 had molecular masses of 532 kDa, 532 kDa and 426 kDa, respectively.
The apparent mass of purified FSPP 1 and FSPP 2 after SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions was ∼ 180 kDa, while FSPP 3 appeared
as a major ∼ 148 kDa band. All of the FSPPs resembled one another with respect to amino acid composition but each appeared
to be immunologically distinct. In double immunodiffusion using anti-total FSPP (antiserum raised against vitellogenic female
plasma pre-absorbed by male plasma), each FSPP formed one precipitin line that crossed those produced by both others. A rabbit
antiserum was raised against each FSPP and absorbed with combinations of the other two FSPPs to ensure specificity. Using
the antisera, each FSPP was detected by immuno-electrophoresis in plasma from vitellogenic females or estrogen-treated male
or immature fish, but no FSPP was detected in normal male plasma. Endoprotease (Asp-N) digests of the FSPPs were subjected
to HPLC separation for N-terminal sequencing and mapping of isolated peptides to published vitellogenin (Vg) sequences. Results
of these analyses indicate that white perch FSPP 1, FSPP 2, and FSPP 3 can be classified into three Vg groups identified in
previous studies: VgA, VgB, and VgC-like protein, respectively. This is the first report, of which we are aware, on isolation
of more than two Vg proteins from any species of vertebrate except the chicken.
