Wang Yun-zhong et al. （1）
Abstract The experiments on the influence of sudden changes of temperature and salinity on the survival rate of larval Penaeus chinensis and Penaeus japonicus were carried out. The results indicated that the survival rate during 48 hours of P. chinensis was 100% when the salinity suddenly decreased 4 or increased 2 and the temperature decreased 6~C or increased 3 ~C, respectively; the 48 hours survival rate of P.japonicus was 100% when the salinity decreased 2 or increased 2and the temperature decreased 3 ~C or increased 6~C, respectively. The tolerance on the sudden change of salinity of P. chinensis was better than that ofP. japonicus; when the temperature decreased suddenly, the tolerance of P. chinensis was better than P. japonicus; it was just the reverse when the temperature increased suddenly.

Abstract The effects of diet species,diet density, sizes and temperature on the filtration rate of Mactra veneriformis juveniles were studied in a laboratory system.It was found that the filtration rate of four species microalgae was increased with microalgae density increasing at the optimum microalgae density, but was decreased with the increase to continue.The relationship between filtration rate and individual weight followed an exponential,Y= 13.429X^0.6118（R^2=0.9971）.In addition,the filtration rate was increased with the increase of temperature,but was decreased if the temperature exceeded ℃ ,at which the filtration rate reached the maximum of 2.31ml/ ind.min.     

黄河干流中上游水生生物资源调查研究

In order to protect scientifically the fishery resources and eco-environment of Yellow River , nine investigatioins on hydrobios in the middle and upper reaches of main Yellow River had been carried out since 2002 according to The Standard for the investigation of inland fishery resources. The investigations showed the present status of the fishery resources in these reaches are as follows ：87species （genera）and 8 phylum of phytoplankton,42 species and 6 phylum of zooplankton, 14 species（genera） of banthic organism , 5 species of hydroplant, 38 species of fish. A comparative analysis,With the results of ＂the Yellow River Fishery Resources Survey in 1982＂,shows that the general trend of the plankton is that the average biomass is getting apparently decreased, the aboriginal fishes are endangered intensifically, and there must be some problem of aquatic biological invasion in these reaches. A granual miniaturization of fishes in main Yellow River has been noticed. The authors proposed to carry out investigation and researches on hydrobios resources in main Yellow River , and develop plans to protect the fishery resources in yellow River, which will be an important basis for rehabilitation of the Yellow River waters and it＇s ecological environment, for the maintenance of biological diversity of Yellow River＇s waters. And this work will be of great significance for people＇s life and sustainable development of economics in Yellow River basin.     

一种生物净水剂对河蟹养殖水体水质净化效果研究

The biological cleaning agent Pondplus was dowsed each ten days at different dosage into breeding ponds for Chinese mitten crab with stocking rate at 12 000 ind./ha, to evaluate its purification effects on water environment in breeding ponds and its effects on Chinese mitten crab growth. The results showed that dousing treatment improved the water quality significantly as evaluated according to the parameters of DO, CODMn, NH4 ＋ - N and NO2 - -N. Particularly, when the air temperature was higher than 35℃, the diurnal observation on DO values at the bottom of ponds showed that dousing at 450 g/（ ha•m） gave a DO value higher than 4 mg/L all day long, which was 2 mg/L higher than that of control. The observed increase of Chinese mitten crab were 14. 9% , 27.8% , 27.8% by average weight, when dousing at 150, 300, 450 g/（ha • m） , respectively. Accordingly, the production increased by 8.5%, 11.9%, 18.6% through its promotion of Chinese mitten crab growth, and the economic efficiency were enhanced by 96.2% , 159.8% , 180.9%.     

甲胺磷、辛硫磷对坛紫菜叶状体的生理效应

In this paper, the effects of methmidophos and phoxim with different concentrations and schedule on soluble protein content and chlorophyl a (Chla) content in Porphyra haintanensis were studied under experimental and ecological conditions. The results showed as follows: (1) there were some time-effect and dose-effect relationships between the pollutants and Chla contents. The Chla content of most of groups decreased with the increasing of dose and prolonging of the exposure time. In the same concentration, the toxicities of phoxim to Chla content was stronger than that of methmidophos. (2) All concentration groups in this study didn‘t show the significant time-effect and dose-effect relationships between pollutants and the soluble protein. And there was no significant difference of the soluble protein content among various groups.     

C02浓度对光生物反应器高效培养的湛江叉鞭金藻和盐藻的影响

The effects of CO2 concentration on the growth and photosynthesis of Dicrateria zhang, jiangensis and Dunaliella sp, in 100 liter air lift photobioreactors were investigated. The results showed that biomass of both algae significantly increased in high CO2 concentration (above 700μL ? L^-1) compared to low CO2 concentration (350μL?L^-1) ,and the culture periods were shorter, However, no significant difference as observed in growth rate when the alga cultured in CO2 concentration of 700μL? L^-1 and 1000μL? L^-1, respectively. These for the maximum photosynthetic rate(Pm) and saturating irradiance level(Ik) of the two species remarkably raised with the elevated CO2 concentration, so was the initial slope(α)of Dunaliella sp.     

低温胁迫对鲤血液学和血清生化指标的影响

A total of 85 interspecific hybrid F₂ (Cyprinus carpiovar. wuyuanensis×Cyprinus pellegrini pellegrini) were cooled to specific temperatures and held at those temperatures over a maximum of 4 days in a waterrecycled and temperaturecontrolled aquarium inside. As a result, the blood homeostasis of experimental fish changed violently as acute temperature changed from 16 ℃ to 10 ℃ and 4 ℃ at a rate of 1 ℃·h^-1 according to the data we collected. Whole blood pH, also called extracellular pH (pHe) were very sensitive to temperature changes, where the re was a significant difference between 10 ℃ (7.41) and 16 ℃ (7.17) (P <0.01), compared to other values of hematology and serum chemistry. When the water temperature was continually decreased to an extreme temperature of 4℃, the content of Na⁺ of serum decreased remarkably in comparison with that of 10 ℃ and 16 ℃, which was 85.2 mmol·L^-1, 113.3 mmol·L^-1 and 118.7 mmol·L^-1, respectively. The values of hematology and serum chemistry also altered in gentle temperature changes of (10±2) ℃ and (4±2) ℃. Most values of serum chemistry and pH changed significantly, whereas the values of blood plasma changed slightly. pH was up slowly in 4 days at (10±2) ℃ and down slowly in 3 days at (4±2) ℃. A variety of values of serum chemistry changed remarkably both at (10±2) ℃ and (10±2) ℃, but the values of TP, TG and ALB only changed significantly at (4±2) ℃. These results distinguished at least two mechanisms involved in coldinduced stress in hybrid F₂. Coldinduced pH changes resulted in other values altered. What's more, pH correlated negatively with water temperature above 10 ℃, and the content of Na+. We also found that gentle te mperature changes will be physiologically compensated for on day one at (10±2) ℃ and on day 2 at (4±2) ℃ in hybrid F₂.

The fish spawning ground had been investigated on the Beijiang River near Shaoguan city and the influence on fishes breeding from 7 dam had been estimated.Main result are as follows:the four dam building and designed will result in a big destruction.including disrupt the fish migration(Mengli Dam and ChangshanDam),the fish spawning ground disappear(below Zhangtan Dam).a huge destruction in Ankou fish spawning ground by Changan Dam and a serious of damage on grass lying -egg species will caused by Wantou Dam,especially for catifish Mystus suttatus.On the other hand Zhangtan Dam,Kongiiang Dam,and Menzhou Dam obstructed the fish exchange between upstream and lower stream,however a large water surface became before the dam supported a better condition for fish growth,it seems balance in positive and negative action.The conclusion is that those dam building or designed would be stop or delay in order to maintain fish population and aquatic ecological balance.     

鱼粉质量对中国对虾、真鲷、饲料转化率和蛋白质消化率的影响

IntroductionInherent to the practice of intensive aquaculture is the generation of wastes having immediate and verybroad effects on the aquatic environment.There is a growing consensus about the need to reduce waste pro-duction in aquaculture to minimize the negative impacts on the environment.Nitrogen(N) and phosphorus(P) wastes are major concerns for many aquaculture operations.In the past,formulation of diets in intensive aquaculture was often aimed at meeting requirements formaximum growt…     

^60Co-γ射线对成体长牡蛎生长的影响及致死效应

Effects of ionizing irradiation of ^60Co-γ ray on mortality and growth of one year-old Pacific oysters ( Crassotrea gigas ) were studied. Irradiation was conducted at 4℃ and without sea water, and the survival, shell length, shell width, whole wet weight and condition index of irradiated oysters were measured. A biphasic dose response effect of 6^60Co-γ irradiation on Pacific oyster with high stimulatory response dose range to 100 Gy, and strong hormesis effects had been observed. Gamma ray induced mortality happened within 90 days after irradiation, and the relation between dosage ( D ) and mortality at 90 days could be described by the equation of M90 = 0.0041D^2- 0. 1816D (R^2= 0. 9958) with an LD50/90 of 135 Gy, indicating that the Pacific oyster has strong resistance to ^60Co-γ irradiation. Growth in shell length, shell width and whole wet weight of Pacific oyster were also enhanced by 60 Gy of ^60Co-γ ray. The condition index was also enhanced by ^60Co-γ irradiation in the dosage range from 40 to 100 Gy, with the maximum stimulatory response of 2.5 fold of control value at the 40 Gy dosage, suggesting that the accelerating effects of γ ray on growth of the Pacific oyster led to increase in dry meat. Results of this study showed that ionizing irradiation might be useful in the improvement of production traits in shellfish.     

Coping with climate change: Phenotypic plasticity in an imperilled freshwater fish in response to elevated water temperature

1. Climate change has emerged as an increasingly important threat to freshwater systems. To cope with rapidly changing thermal regimes, freshwater fishes must either relocate or adjust through genetic adaptation and/or phenotypic plasticity. Short-term responses to elevated water temperature have been well studied in freshwater fishes; however, far less is understood about change induced by long-term exposure. Furthermore, few studies have investigated the effects of temperature on already imperilled species, which may be more sensitive to environmental change.
2. This study investigated the effects of rearing temperature on critical thermal maximum (CT_max), agitation temperature (T_ag, temperature at which fish show behavioural signs of thermal stress) and gill size in pugnose shiner, Notropis anogenus, a threatened species in Canada. Juvenile pugnose shiner were reared for 4 months across five different ecologically relevant temperatures. CT_max and T_ag were measured under normoxia and acute exposure to hypoxia to test for oxygen sensitivity of the upper thermal limits in this species.
3. CT_max increased with elevated water temperature. T_ag also increased with rearing temperature and occurred, on average, 4.3°C above acclimation temperatures. The CT_max and T_ag were lower when fish were exposed acutely to hypoxia. Interestingly, gill size (e.g. total gill filament length) increased with rearing temperature, which may increase oxygen uptake capacity and support increased metabolic demands of warmer waters.
4. Overall, pugnose shiner show plasticity in several traits in response to long-term exposure to elevated water temperature that may facilitate persistence in warmer waters. However, acute hypoxia exposure reduced thermal tolerance, stressing the importance of evaluating interactive effects of multiple stressors.
5. Identifying source populations of pugnose shiner with greater thermal tolerance or implementing captive breeding under higher temperature regimes may improve the success of re-introduction efforts in the face of climate change, but the consequences to fitness of increased thermal tolerance should be examined.

     

秦山核电温排水对鱼类分布的影响

根据2010年5月(春季)、2010年9月(夏季)和2009年12月(冬季)秦山核电海域渔业资源调查资料以及秦山核电站温排水扩散数学模拟结果,通过秦山核电温排水海域鱼类季节密度的时空分布、优势种、优势种对鱼类总数量的贡献,探讨并分析了秦山核电海域温排水对鱼类分布的影响。结果显示,春季、夏季和冬季的尾数密度分别为5.55×10~3 ind/km~2、22.10×10~3 ind/km~2和10.52×10~3 ind/km~2,重量密度分别为33.80 kg/km~2、59.06 kg/km~2和66.46 kg/km~2。秦山核电海域渔业资源数量季节变化的规律与其他海域相反,冬季最高,春夏季较低,主要与冬季温排水海域具有暖池效应,形成部分鱼类滞留在此越冬有关。温排水平面分布对鱼类分布有重要的影响。主要表现在夏季温排水区域鱼类密度低于其他水域,冬季相反,鱼群滞留在温排水热羽区域,因而显示出温排水海域有较高的鱼群密度。温排水对不同适温习性鱼类影响不同,暖温种能够适应一定的低温,例如,刀鲚(Coilia ectenes)可以在温排水水域越冬,而对高温有耐受性的棘头梅童鱼(Collichthys lucidus)夏季在温排水水域成为优势种。鱼类优势种的适温性决定着鱼群的分布特征,冬季最重要的优势种为刀鲚,在尾数上的贡献率高达45.02,由于该种在温排水的热羽区域分布密集,形成温排水水域鱼群密度大于周边水域的现象。由于温排水改变了渔场环境,导致新的越冬场的形成,有可能形成新的渔汛,引起当地渔场属性的改变。     

Thermal tolerance and compatibility zones as a tool to establish the optimum culture condition of the halibut Paralichthys californicus (Ayres, 1859)

California halibut, Paralichthys californicus (Ayres, 1859) juveniles were studied to ascertain the thermal tolerance and the compatibility zone where these species can be cultivated. Juvenile halibut acclimated at 15, 18, 21 and 24 °C preferred temperatures of 15.1, 18.2, 18.5 and 24.7 °C respectively. The final preferendum (FP) was 18.4 °C, equivalent to the temperature where the physiological processes are more efficient and the optimum growth temperature of 18.02 °C was calculated using the Jobling (1981) equation. The maximum average weekly temperature that must not be exceeded in a juvenile cultivation system is 22.6 °C. Juveniles avoided temperatures of 10.8 and 29.1 °C if they were acclimated between 15 and 24 °C. The thermal tolerance range of the juvenile halibut, having low and high lethal temperatures of 5.0 and 31 °C, characterizes it as a eurythermic organism. The tolerance of the halibut did not increase with the acclimation temperature corresponding to the ultimate upper incipient lethal temperature of 31 °C that differed by only 0.83 °C to the value calculated using the Jobling (1981) equation. The thermal tolerance and compatibility zone for the California halibut were 242.8 and 121.5 (°C)², respectively; they characterize the thermal niche that includes the FP supporting an optimal growth of juveniles.     

Effects of temperature on growth of juvenile blackfoot abalone, Haliotis iris Gmelin

The effects of temperature on growth and survival of juvenile blackfoot abalone, Haliotis iris, were investigated. Animals of 10, 30 or 60 mm initial shell length were exposed to ambient (6–10°C), 14, 18, 22 and 26°C for 112 days in a flow‐through culture system. Maximum growth occurred at 22°C for the 10 and 30 mm size classes and at 18°C for the 60 mm size class. Regression analysis identified the optimal temperature for growth (T_optG) at around 21°C for the 10 and 30 mm size classes and at 17–18°C for the largest size class. In a second experiment, the critical thermal maximum of H. iris was determined as a measure of thermal tolerance. Abalone were subjected to increasing water temperatures at a rate of 2°C h^?1 until they detached from the substrate. Abalone of 10 mm displayed greater thermal tolerance than abalone of 30 and 60 mm in length. CT₅₀ temperatures were 28.8, 27.7 and 27.8°C, yielding deduced T_optG values of 19.7, 18.3 and 18.4°C for the 10, 30 and 60 mm size classes respectively. The size‐dependent nature of the relationship between growth and temperature could be capitalized upon in recirculating aquaculture systems.     

Downstream effects of hydroelectric dam operation on thermal habitat use by Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and Slimy Sculpin (Cottus cognatus)

Hydroelectric dams can alter downstream water temperatures, impacting thermal habitat available for fishes. Decreases in river water temperatures resulting from hydroelectric dam operations may be beneficial to coldwater species and could potentially offset warming resulting from climatic trends. We used two coldwater fish species, Slimy Sculpin (Cottus cognatus) and Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) to assess the impact of a cool water draw below a 15 MW hydroelectric dam on fish thermal habitat use relative to a nearby naturally flowing river. Cooler water temperatures below the dam corresponded with significantly cooler mean growth season temperature use for Slimy Sculpin, but not Brook Trout, relative to the natural river. As well, mean growing season temperature use by Slimy Sculpin was significantly cooler relative to Brook Trout in both rivers, and significantly different amongst studied sites in the regulated river. Fish condition was significantly correlated with temperature use for Slimy Sculpin in the naturally flowing river only. Our results indicate that manipulating river water temperatures through hydroelectric dam operations to benefit multiple fish species will be difficult given the complexity of riverine thermal habitat and species‐specific differences in thermal preferences and behaviour.     

Developmental temperature affects phenotypic means and variability: A meta‐analysis of fish data

Fishes are sensitive to their thermal environment and face an uncertain future in a warming world. Theoretically, populations in novel environments might express greater levels of phenotypic variability to increase the chance of surviving—and eventually thriving—in the new conditions. Most research on the effect of the early thermal environment in fish species focuses on average phenotypic effects rather than phenotypic variability, but to understand how fishes will respond to rising temperatures we need to consider both the average response of the population, as well as the breadth of individual responses. Here we present the first meta‐analysis on the effects of developmental temperature in fishes. Using data from 43 species and over 6,000 individual fish, we show that a change in developmental temperature induces a significant change in phenotypic means and variability, but differently depending on whether the temperature is increased or decreased. Decreases in temperature (cool environments) showed a significant decrease in phenotypic means and no change in phenotypic variability. Increases in temperature (warm environments) showed a non‐significant increase in phenotypic means and a marginally significant increase in phenotypic variability. Larger increases in temperature saw greater increases in phenotypic variability, but no increase in the mean phenotypic response. Together, our results suggest that fishes exhibit both directed and stochastic developmental plasticity in response to warming temperatures, which could facilitate or accelerate adaptation to a changing environment.

Temperature influences on California rainbow trout physiological performance

Although thermal influences on the physiology of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) have been widely studied, there is little information about the responses of different genetic strains to temperatures. The effects of water temperature (10, 14, 19, 22, and 25 °C) on food consumption rate, growth rate, gross conversion efficiency, resting routine oxygen consumption rate, upper critical thermal tolerance and critical swimming velocity were investigated in juvenile rainbow trout of the Eagle Lake (O. m. aquilarum) subspecies and the Mt. Shasta strain. No strain-related differences in conversion efficiency, oxygen consumption rates, thermal tolerance or swimming performance were observed in 1995 (19, 22, and 25 °C) or 1996 (10, 14, and 19 °C), but Mt. Shasta strain trout grew faster at highest temperatures than did Eagle Lake trout. Food consumption rates, growth rates, conversion efficiency, and oxygen consumption rates declined at the extreme temperatures (10 and 25 °C) in both Eagle Lake and Mt. Shasta trout. Swimming performance was temperature-independent between 10 and 19 °C (overall mean: 5.43 body lengths s^–1).     

Behavioural thermoregulation in cold-water freshwater fish: Innate resilience to climate warming?

Behavioural thermoregulation enables ectotherms to access habitats providing conditions within their temperature optima, especially in periods of extreme thermal conditions, through adjustments to their behaviours that provide a “whole-body” response to temperature changes. Although freshwater fish have been detected as moving in response to temperature changes to access habitats that provide their thermal optima, there is a lack of integrative studies synthesising the extent to which this is driven by behaviour across different species and spatial scales. A quantitative global synthesis of behavioural thermoregulation in freshwater fish revealed that across 77 studies, behavioural thermoregulatory movements by fish were detected both vertically and horizontally, and from warm to cool waters and, occasionally, the converse. When fish moved from warm to cooler habitats, the extent of the temperature difference between these habitats decreased with increasing latitude, with juvenile and non-migratory fishes tolerating greater temperature differences than adult and anadromous individuals. With most studies focused on assessing movements of cold-water salmonids during summer periods, there remains an outstanding need for work on climatically vulnerable, non-salmonid fishes to understand how these innate thermoregulatory behaviours could facilitate population persistence in warming conditions.     

Influence of temperature and salinity on survival of the freshwater mullet, Rhinomugil corsula (Hamilton)

The upper incipient lethal temperatures of the freshwater mullet, Rhinomugil corsula, acclimated to 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35°C in fresh water, were 32.4, 34.1, 36.0, 36.2 and 36.5°C respectively, and the corresponding lower lethal temperatures were 10.5, 11.5, 13.2, 15.8 and 19.5°C. The mullet has a total tolerance (area of thermal polygon) of 569°C with an upper and lower thermal tolerance of 253 and 316°C². Likewise, the total resistance of the mullet was 391°C², with upper and lower resistance zones of 181 and 210°C respectively. The upper critical temperatures of swimming inhibition of R. corsula (17.2 cm; acclimation 30°C), determined in a swimming tunnel, were 35.2, 34.6 and 34.2 for water current velocities of 38, 62 and 77 cm s^?1 respectively. The corresponding lower critical temperatures were 26.2, 27.5 and 28.1°C. These results indicated the stenothermal nature of the mullet by comparison with other fishes, e.g. Tilapia mossambica.In tests on the influence of ambient salinity on thermal resistance, R. corsula survived longest at 7‰ (iso-osmotic salinity). At salinities above and below this point, survival times were shorter at any lethal temperature. In a tentative scheme for quantification of stress due to temperature and salinity at death (after acclimation to 30°C and tested at 37°C), the hypo-osmotic and hyper-osmotic stress were estimated to be 50 and 31% of the thermal stress (100%) respectively.
