Effects of melatonin implants on reproduction and growth of turbot broodstock

The effect of 18 mg. melatonin (MLT) implants on thereproductive performance of turbot (Scophthalmus maximusL.) broodstock was determined in 20 females and 12 males. Implantedanimals showed supra-physiological plasma MLT concentrations during threemonthsafter implantation, being at that time about one hundred times higher thandiurnal MLT concentrations. Direct effects of MLT implants were observed ongonadal maturation of turbot females three months after implantation (P <0.01), although the faster ovarian response to increasing photoperiod was notconsistent and no differences were detected at the final reproductiveperformance. MLT implants had a positive effect on turbot male reproductivefeatures, since gonadal recrudescence started 45 days earlier (P < 0.05)showing a trend towards higher spermatozoa concentration. Further research isadvisable to ascertain the MLT dose required for and time of implantation inturbot broodstock.     

Effects of size grading on growth and survival of juvenile turbot at two temperatures

Juvenile turbot were size graded into three size groups (mean initial size): Small (3.4 g), medium (7.0 g) and large (10.5 g), and additional fish were held in ungraded (6.6 g) groups. Subgroups (n = 396) of fish were tagged and individual growth rates and social interactions within different size categories were studied in fish reared at 13 and 19 °C. Size grading of juvenile turbot did not improve growth. Specific growth rates (SGR) were mainly size-related, and no differences in SGR or mortality between the experimental groups at both tem-peratures were found. A higher level of social interactions was indicated amongst medium-sized fish than amongst those in the smallest and largest categories. Excess feeding may have been important factors in reducing aggression, so that the growth of the smallest individuals was not suppressed by the larger individuals in the present study. Grading seems to be an unnecessary operation to improve the growth and survival of juvenile turbot (5- 150 g). However, as it was mainly the smallest individuals in each group that died, grading of very small turbot (2-5 g) can be recommended.     

镉在大菱鲆体内蓄积规律及对生长和食品安全影响初探

采用鱿鱼、头足类及其加工下脚料等高含镉原料配制饲料喂养大菱鲆亲鱼,发现诱食效果较好、鱼体增重较快,但一年后出现死亡率增高的现象。经解剖观察,死鱼的肝、肾、胰腺、胆等均有不同的病变现象。研究镉在其体内蓄积规律,发现镉在鱼的肌肉、肝脏、肾脏中的含量分别是饲喂普通饲料养殖大菱鲆的4～9倍、6～9倍和5～10倍,且死鱼的镉含量高于活鱼;镉在鱼肝脏和肾脏中的含量分别是肌肉中的100-400倍,是主要的蓄积器官和靶器官。高含镉饲料可能对养殖大菱鲆健康生长和食品安全卫生造成严重影响。     

饲料蛋白质含量和n-3HUFA水平对大菱鲆亲鱼产卵的影响

给大菱鲆亲鱼投喂高蛋白和高水平 n 3HUFA的饲料。结果表明,与投喂低蛋白和低水平 n 3HUFA饲料组相比,大菱鲆亲鱼繁殖力明显提高。高水平试验组,亲鱼体重增重大,产卵量高、所产卵子卵径大,受精后上浮率、孵化率高,仔稚鱼的存活力强。其中卵子脂肪酸含量受亲鱼所摄饲料中脂肪酸含量的影响较大。当亲鱼组投喂试验组饲料的蛋白质为 49 3%、脂类含量为14 6%,其中∑n 3HUFA的比例为 29 3%时,平均每尾亲鱼的产卵量为 1 45×106,所产卵子的卵径为1 053 mm,卵子脂类∑n 3HUFA的比例为20 38%,浮性卵率为95%。经过30 d的饲育,大菱鲆苗种的存活率为 23%,明显高于低蛋白和低脂肪酸试验组的数据。本研究认为,大菱鲆亲鱼培育的饲料中适宜蛋白质含量应≥45%;脂类的适宜含量为≥10%,其中∑n 3HUFA的适宜比例≥20%。     

纯氧充气对大菱鲆生长及水质指标的影响

主要研究了纯氧增氧技术对大菱鲆的生长及养殖水体中几项重要水质因子的影响。本实验中,实验池中的溶氧最低能维持在8.96±0.16mg/L,最高时可达到12.2±0.71mg/L。经过282d的培养,大菱鲆体重由30.43±0.42g达到1103.73±19.00g,日增重率平均为1.24±0.14%,整个实验期间大菱鲆均处于快速生长状态。至实验结束时,养殖密度最终达到33.99±0.59kg/m3。养殖水体中,pH变化范围在7.62～8.03之间,平均pH为7.76±0.05。COD变化范围在0.75～1.85mg/L,平均COD为1.04±0.16mg/L。亚硝酸盐浓度1.27～7.23μg/L之间,平均浓度在3.23±0.21μg/L。氨氮浓度一般维持在0.07～0.28mg/L,平均浓度为0.14±0.02mg/L。硝酸盐浓度在0.39～0.69mg/L之间,平均浓度为0.51±0.02mg/L。COD、pH、亚硝酸盐浓度很低,均在渔业水质标准所规定的范围以内。     

不同加工工艺的饲料对大菱鲆幼鱼生长及养殖水环境的影响

比较了两种加工工艺对饲料(D1、D2)颗粒物理性状的影响,并用其投喂初始体重为16 g的大菱鲆幼鱼64 d,比较其对大菱鲆幼鱼生长、饲料利用和养殖水环境的影响。结果显示,D2组饲料平均颗粒直径、平均百粒重和水中稳定性显著高于D1组(P0.05),但其吸水性、堆积密度和沉降速度显著低于D1组(P0.05)。D2组大菱鲆幼鱼的增重率、特异生长率、摄食率及蛋白质效率显著高于D1组(P0.05)。大菱鲆对D2组饲料中干物质和粗蛋白的表观消化率显著高于D1组(P0.05),但对粗脂肪和总磷的表观消化率无显著影响(P0.05)。投喂18 h后,养殖水体中N、P含量均有了显著升高,D2组每升水中每千克鱼产生的亚硝酸氮含量显著高于D1组(P0.05),但硝酸氮和总氮增加量显著低于D1组(P0.05);D2组活性磷酸盐及总磷酸盐增加量显著低于D1组(P0.05)。研究结果表明,不同的加工工艺显著影响了颗粒饲料的物理性状和饲料利用,并对养殖水环境造成了影响。     

南极磷虾粉对大菱鲆生长、非特异性免疫及氟残留的影响

以鱼粉、南极磷虾粉和豆粕为蛋白源,以南极磷虾粉蛋白分别替代饲料中的0(对照组)、20%、40%、60%的鱼粉蛋白制成4种等氮等能的饲料,并以此饲料饲喂大菱鲆(37.36±2.12g)56d。试验结果显示,饲料中南极磷虾粉水平对大菱鲆的成活率及特定生长率(SGR)没有显著性影响(P>0.05);对各组的饲料干物质表观消化率均有显著性影响(P<0.05),替代40%组与替代60%组蛋白质表观消化率较对照组有显著性差异(P<0.05);对大菱鲆血清中的碱性磷酸酶(AKP)、酸性磷酸酶(ACP)、溶菌酶及总超氧化物歧化酶(T-SOD)活力无显著性影响(P>0.05)。大菱鲆各组间肌肉中氟残留量没有显著性差异(P>0.05),且肌肉中氟含量均在可食用范围内,大菱鲆各组间骨骼中氟残留量均有显著性差异(P<0.05)。     

Comparison of growth and reproduction performance of broodstock Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei reared in oceanic and brackish water

This study provides a preliminary evaluation of feasibility of brackish water breeding. Shrimps were initially cultured at brackish water. Shrimps were reared at different stages (5, 6, 7 and 8 months, respectively), and 300 female shrimps were selected from each stage for growth at an enhanced salinity of 30 ppt. When the shrimps were sexually mature, the reproductive characteristics (mating rate, egg number and nauplii number) of the broodstock shrimps, quality of nauplii (malformation rate of nauplii) and quality of postlarvae (survival rate and desalination stress) were tested to evaluate of the effects of brackish water (10 ppt) on these shrimps. Oceanic water (30 ppt) for rearing shrimps was used as control group. Histopathological analysis of gonads and hepatopancreases from oceanic and brackish water shrimp was performed. The results showed that shrimps cultured for a maximum of 8 months in brackish water remained sexually mature. There were no significant differences regarding the quality of shrimps in the oceanic water and brackish water. However, the brackish water cultured shrimps were easily adapted to salinity changes. Our results demonstrate the good feasibility of the present scheme, in which the broodstock shrimps were cultured at a salinity of 10 ppt.     

饲料中花生四烯酸对发育前期大菱鲆亲鱼性类固醇激素合成的影响

为研究饲料中不同水平的花生四烯酸(arachidonic acid,ARA)对发育前期的大菱鲆亲鱼性类固醇激素合成量及合成过程的影响,配制3种等氮等脂(脂肪含量13%)的实验饲料,分别含有不同梯度水平的花生四烯酸:0.72%(不添加花生四烯酸精制油的对照组,C),5.63%(添加低水平ARA的处理组,ARA-L)及15.03%(添加高水平ARA的处理组,ARA-H)(各数值均为占总脂肪酸的比例)。每组饲料投喂3个实验桶,每桶放25尾3龄大菱鲆亲鱼(雌雄比例约为1:1)。养殖实验在室内流水系统内进行,每天饱食投喂2次,养殖周期为5个月。养殖结束后,分别取性腺发育前期的雌雄鱼测血清雌二醇和睾酮的含量并检测性腺中性类固醇激素合成相关蛋白质的基因表达量。结果显示:与对照组相比,饲料中高水平的花生四烯酸显著降低了雌鱼血清中雌二醇的含量,而雄鱼血清中睾酮的含量在低水平花生四烯酸处理组显著降低。在卵巢中,饲料中高水平的花生四烯酸显著降低了促卵泡激素受体mRNA的表达量,但是饲料中低水平的花生四烯酸显著提高了17α羟化酶的mRNA表达量。在精巢中,饲料中低水平的花生四烯酸显著降低了固醇合成急性调节蛋白以及17α羟化酶的mRNA表达量,但显著升高了芳香化酶的mRNA表达量。饲料中花生四烯酸提高了性腺、肝脏和肌肉组织中花生四烯酸的含量,但降低了二十碳五烯酸(EPA)的含量,卵巢中的花生四烯酸累积量高于精巢。综上所述,饲料中添加一定量的花生四烯酸抑制了发育前期大菱鲆亲鱼雌二醇和睾酮的合成,在卵巢中,这种抑制作用可能是通过抑制促卵泡激素受体的表达来实现,而在精巢中,可能是通过抑制固醇合成急性调节蛋白以及17α羟化酶来实现。     

Effects of salinity and temperature conditions on the reproductive success of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) in the Baltic Sea

In the Baltic Sea, a large brackish water area, turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) occurs at the border of its distribution with respect to salinity. Using turbot caught in ICES subdivision (SD) 28 (mid-Baltic), salinity requirements for successful egg development were evaluated by assessment of spermatozoa mobility, fertilisation and egg survival at different salinities. Further, to evaluate potential effects of temperatures, egg survival at different temperatures was assessed. Spermatozoa activity and fertilisation rate decreased with decreasing salinity with a significant drop at <7 psu. The viable hatch was significantly lower at <7 psu compared to at 7–15 psu. Hence, due to decreasing salinity this implies lower egg survival in SD 29 and 30 compared to in SD 24–28, and that salinity conditions in SD 31 are insufficient for egg development. Further, following a long period without major inflows of saline water into the Baltic Sea, salinity has decreased. From 1995 onwards salinities <7 psu prevail in SD 27–28 suggesting decreased reproductive success and potentially weaker year-classes in this area. Egg survival was high at 12–18 °C and considerably lower at 9 and 21 °C. Comparing the results with environmental data suggested that spawning time of turbot is adapted to optimum temperatures for egg development, but that occasions with temperatures involving increased egg mortality may occur, e.g. during upwelling situations.     

饲料中添加不同脂肪源、VC和VE对大菱鲆生长和非特异性免疫力的影响

研究了不同脂肪源、VC和VE以及上述3种复合营养性添加剂对大菱鲆非特异性免疫力、生长和存活率的影响。结果表明,以鳀鱼鱼油为脂肪源,添加高剂量的VE能提高大菱鲆血清补体活性,并且提高大菱鲆的溶菌酶活性,但不影响大菱鲆血液的中性粒细胞吞噬率及白细胞总数;饲料中VC含量增加到250mg/kg,大菱鲆血液中的白细胞总数明显增加,而进一步提高饲料中的VC含量时,其白细胞总数没有显著变化;血清溶菌酶活性在VC含量为250mg/kg时最高。饲料中VC含量对白细胞的吞噬活性没有影响。在75d的养殖时间内,摄食复合营养性免疫增强剂的大菱鲆,其体重增重率(平均为95·3%)和成活率(99·4%)均明显高于未摄食营养型免疫增强剂的对照组体重增重率(68·0%)和成活率(93·7%)。     

过饱和溶氧对大菱鲆生长及消化酶的影响

探讨工程化养殖中过饱和溶氧对大菱鲆生长的影响,通过充入液态氧与空气,使试验水体的溶氧分别达到过饱和溶氧水平(12±1)mg/L和(14±1)mg/L,正常溶氧水平(7.0±0.5)mg/L.结果显示,过饱和溶氧组的大菱鲆生长速度及饵料利用率明显高于正常溶氧组(p<0.05),而在过饱和溶氧条件下与正常溶氧条件下大菱鲆的丰满度无显著差异(P>0.05).对大菱鲆胃、肠道消化酶、脂肪酶与淀粉酶的分析发现,大菱鲆胃蛋白酶活性在过饱和溶氧条件下较正常溶氧有明显提高(p<0.05),而脂肪酶与淀粉酶的酶活力未得到显著性提高(p>0.05).     

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.     

Growth, survival and pigmentation of turbot （Scophthalmus maximus） larvae fed live-prey enriched with ESP and S. S

用两种营养强化剂(ESP,S．S)强化轮虫、卤虫活饵料,以探讨这两种强化剂对大菱鲆生长、存活及色素沉积情况。结果发现ESP组能明显改善大菱鲆的色素异常,两组大菱鲆生长相似。用ESP强化组的存活率高于S．S强化组。     

Effects of different diets and seawater systems on egg production and quality of the broodstock Babylonia areolata L. under hatchery conditions

The broodstock of spotted Babylon snail, Babylonia areolata, were conditioned in indoor tanks under two seawater systems (static system and flow‐through system) and five types of foods (fish, shrimp, squid, green mussel and formulated diet). High survival and good feeding was found from broodstock conditioned in all treatments of seawater systems and diets. All broodstock showed active behaviour with no signs of stress as exhibited by active movement and feeding, protrusion of siphonal tube and constant egg laying throughout the experiment. Two‐way analysis of variance showed that there were no significant differences (P>0.05) in the total yield of egg capsules, size of egg capsules, size of newly hatched larvae and growth of larvae among broodstock B. areolata conditioned in the seawater system and diet treatments, but there were significant differences (P>0.05) in the frequency of egg capsule laying, number of fertilized eggs/embryos per capsule, total yield of fertilized eggs/embryos and final survival of larvae among broodstock B. areolata conditioned in the diet treatments. We present initial evidence that the seawater system had a stronger influence on the egg production and quality of broodstock B. areolata than conditioning diets.     

不同培育方式对赤点石斑鱼成熟、产卵和孵化的影响

在深水网箱、传统小网箱和室内水泥池三种培育方式下,采用埋植外源激素的方法诱导赤点石斑鱼提前完成性转化,获得功能性雄鱼,并用所得雄鱼和人工驯化培育而成的雌鱼进行了亲鱼培育、产卵和孵化试验研究。结果表明:雌鱼性腺成熟以深水网箱培育为最好,室内水泥池培育次之,传统小网箱培育最差;转性效果深水网箱与室内水泥池培育相差无几,转性率分别为97.0%和94.6%,传统小网箱较差,转性率仅65.9%;自然雄鱼以深水网箱为最多。其中,2004年共获得亲鱼246 ind,施行转性手术100 ind,转性率达87.9%,先后获受精卵230.5×104粒,平均受精率22.4%,孵出仔鱼80×104ind,平均孵化率34.7%。     

Growth and the effect of grading, of turbot in a shallow raceway system

Juvenile turbot Scophthalmus maximus (L.), ranging in size from 30 to 407 g were graded into small, large, and unsorted groups in a low-water-level raceway system. Water depth was 7 cm. The rearing design proved self-cleaning and well suited for turbot ongrowing. Mean initial weights 146.2, 236.1, 162.7 g increased to 299.1, 465.6 and 343.1 g in the small, large, and unsorted groups respectively during the 86 day experiment. The corresponding SGRs were 0.84, 0.79 and 0.87% day-1. No positive effect of grading on biomass production was revealed. The coefficient of variance gave no indication of social interactions, but plotting the start weights against estimated individuals SGRs did, although the effect was minor.     

大菱鲆养殖技术之四大菱鲆亲鱼海水小瓜虫病的防治方法

大菱鲆（Reinharditushippoglossoicles）是原产于欧洲的一种大型名贵比目鱼类，在我国由于养殖历史较短，以及各地养殖场使用地下低温井水养殖，各种病害相对较少发生，有关病害防治的知识及研究工作均未得到积累和开展，病害防治常识往往被养殖者忽视。２０００年～２００１年，山东省荣成市几家培育大菱鲆亲鱼的养殖场先后暴发了由于海水小瓜虫寄生而引起的亲鱼大量死亡的突发事例，是自大菱鲆引入我国境内以来，在国内首次发生的疾病，现将我们掌握的有关情况介绍如下：一、病原：海水小瓜虫（Ichthyophthiriusmarinus）又称刺激隐核虫…     

不同规格中华绒螯蟹亲本子一代在扣蟹阶段养殖性能的比较研究

为探究中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)亲本规格对其子代在扣蟹阶段养殖性能的影响,本试验在相同的养殖环境下将4种规格河蟹亲本(规格I:雌90~110 g、雄140~160 g;规格Ⅱ:雌115~135 g、雄160~180 g;规格Ⅲ:雌140~160 g、雄220~240 g;规格Ⅳ:雌190~210 g、雄290~310 g)所产的大眼幼体养殖至扣蟹,并比较各组扣蟹的体质量、增重率、特定生长率、成活率及最终产量差异。试验结果显示:(1)不同规格的河蟹亲本,其子一代在大眼幼体至豆蟹阶段的平均体质量、成活率以及增重倍数均无明显差异(P>0.05);(2)在豆蟹至扣蟹养殖阶段,各组幼蟹的生长速度差异大体上与其亲本规格的差异相一致,其中Ⅰ组幼蟹在8—10月期间的平均体质量均显著低于Ⅳ组(P<0.05);(3)养殖效果方面,各组扣蟹平均规格和最终产量均随着亲本规格的提高而提高,其中Ⅳ组扣蟹的最终平均体质量显著高于Ⅰ组扣蟹(P<0.05);(4)就规格分布而言,Ⅳ组扣蟹2.00~3.99 g规格的比例显著低于另外3组,而≥6.00 g规格的比例显著高于另外3组(P<0.05)。结果表明,中华绒螯蟹亲本规格对其后代的养殖性能存在影响,大规格河蟹亲本子一代在扣蟹生产阶段生长速度快、养殖效果好,因此建议在生产上选择大规格亲本的后代用于扣蟹养殖。     

饲料中添加南极磷虾粉对凡纳滨对虾亲虾生长、性腺发育及脂肪酸积累的影响

为探讨人工配合饲料中添加磷虾粉对凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)亲虾性腺发育的影响,分别在饲料中添加0、10%、20%的南极磷虾粉,配制3组人工配合饲料(饲料组1、饲料组2和饲料组3)对12月龄的凡纳滨对虾进行了为期60 d的营养强化培养,并以投喂双齿围沙蚕(Perinereis aibuhitensis)为对照组。营养强化结束之后,比较分析了不同饲料组凡纳滨对虾亲虾的体重增重率、肝胰腺指数(HPI)和性腺指数(GSI);另外,检测分析了各组饲料以及亲虾性腺和肝胰腺的脂肪酸组成。结果表明,对照组的雌雄亲虾体重增重率均高于3个饲料组;饲料组2的HPI最低,为(2.37±0.02)%,与对照组无显著差异(P0.05);饲料组3的GSI与对照组无显著差异(P0.05),但两组的GSI均低于饲料组2,并且存在显著差异(P0.05)。同时,本研究还比较分析了饲料脂肪酸组成与亲虾性腺、肝胰腺脂肪酸组成的相关性以及对亲虾性腺发育的影响。结果显示,饲料中添加一定含量(10%~20%)的南极磷虾粉可在一定程度上成为凡纳滨对虾亲虾营养强化阶段的优良饲料。
