鱼虾类暴发性疾病的中医学探讨

鱼虾类暴发性疾病的中医学探讨王鸿泰（中国水产科学研究院长江水产研究所）近年来鱼虾类暴发性流行病越来越严重，呈上升趋势，不少学者都认识到这些流行病与生态环境变化有密切相关，特别是多种细菌和病毒都在同一水环境中，如淡水中的呼肠孤病毒（Ｒｅｏｖｉｒｕｓ）、...     

Extranuclear Histones in Teleost Gills: An Evolutionary Study

Extranuclear histones and histone fragments (13–15 kDa) in gill microsomes of a phylogenetic series of teleostean fishes (tilapia, trout, carp, eel and elephant fish) were studied. Histones H2A and H2B are the first occurring of these antimicrobial agents. Halfway the evolution of teleosts (carp, trout) H3 fragments emerge, which disappear in later stages of development and are replaced by truncated H1 (tilapia). The hypothesis is forwarded that variation in composition of extranuclear histones is caused by changes in specificity of histone transporters.     

三棱碘泡虫 (粘体动物门：碘泡科) 重描述及其系统发育关系分析

为有效鉴定三棱碘泡虫的有效性,补充其生物学特征,实验利用现代粘孢子虫整合分类学方法,包括形态特征、寄生特性(宿主特征和寄生部位)及分子特征,对其进行重新描述,证实其分类有效性,探讨其系统发育关系。结果显示,三棱碘泡虫专性寄生于草鱼鳃丝间,未在其他器官(肝脏、肾脏、肠道等)检获孢子。包囊呈乳白色,长椭圆形,长(2.4±0.3)(2.1～2.7) mm,宽(0.8±0.1)(0.6～0.9) mm。成熟孢子壳面观呈卵圆形,孢子后端未见"V"形褶皱,孢子外包裹有一层透明的圆形黏液膜,缝面观呈纺锤形,孢子缝面可见三条平行而突出的脊线;孢质均匀,孢子后端具有一个大嗜碘泡;成熟孢子长(10.3±0.4)(9.4～11.0)μm,宽(9.5±0.5)(8.7～10.9)μm,厚(7.4±0.5)(6.4～8.0)μm;两极囊等大,梨形,极丝7～8圈;组织病理显示,病灶鳃组织未出现严重炎症反应。BLAST比对发现,三棱碘泡虫与隐杆碘泡虫小核糖体RNA序列相似性最高(89.58%),但远低于种内序列相似性。分子系统发育分析结果显示,三棱碘泡虫先与寄生于鲤科鱼类的隐杆碘泡虫形成姊妹关系,再与寄生于胭脂鱼科鱼类鳃的诺布尔碘泡虫、微小碘泡虫及毕斯塔斯碘泡虫形成独立的鳃寄生碘泡虫分枝,表明宿主亲缘关系与组织趋向性在鱼类组织寄生碘泡科粘孢子虫系统演化历程中扮演重要作用。本研究补充了三棱碘泡虫包囊形态结构、组织趋向性及分子数据,证实了其分类有效性。     

盐度对花鲈幼鱼鳃、脾及肌肉组织结构的影响

为了探究不同盐度对花鲈(Lateolabrax maculatus)幼鱼组织结构的影响,用组织学方法对不同盐度条件下(0、10、15、20、30)花鲈幼鱼的鳃、脾及肌肉组织结构进行研究。结果显示,盐度为0时,花鲈幼鱼鳃丝排列紧密,顶端膨大呈棒状,鳃小片细胞饱满,有少量泌氯细胞。花鲈幼鱼鳃丝宽度随盐度的升高而缩小,鳃小片间距则逐渐增大,差异显著(P<0.05);盐度为20时,部分鳃小片变形脱落,鳃丝上的泌氯细胞明显增多增大;盐度为30时,鳃丝宽度较大,出现断裂脱落,鳃丝上细胞排列疏松,泌氯细胞明显膨大,有溶解现象。脾脏在淡水条件下(盐度为0),淋巴细胞数目较少,血细胞较多;在低盐环境中(盐度为10、15),淋巴细胞增大,数量增多,黑色素巨噬细胞中心数量增加;在高盐度下(盐度为30),脾细胞和部分淋巴细胞出现肿大、空泡化现象,细胞排列疏松。盐度为0时,花鲈幼鱼肌纤维排列较为疏松,多角形或长椭圆形,长径和短径较大、密度较小;盐度为15时,肌纤维短径变小、密度增大,与0、10盐度组均差异显著,盐度为30时,肌纤维长径增大、密度减小;随着盐度的增加,肌纤维长径和短径均有先减小后增加的趋势,单位面积肌纤维数量则先增加后减小,差异显著(P<0.05)。结果表明,花鲈幼鱼鳃、脾及肌肉组织结构变化特征与其所处的环境盐度有关。     

Streptococcus iniae infection and tissue distribution in hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops×Morone saxatilis) following inoculation of the gills

This study was designed to test the possibility that Streptococcus iniae enters through the gills and causes infection in hybrid striped bass. To determine the dose response, four groups of fish were inoculated with S. iniae via the gills with a dose of 5.0×10⁵, 2.6×10⁶, 5.0×10⁶, or 1.0×10⁸ CFU/fish. One group of fish was inoculated with tryptic soy broth (TSB) via the gills to serve as controls. The cumulative percent mortality was 13%, 27%, 100% and 100% for 5.0×10⁵, 2.6×10⁶, 5.0×10⁶ and 1.0×10⁸ CFU/fish, respectively. We also examined the tissue dissemination of S. iniae at 0.5, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after experimental gill inoculation. Fish were inoculated with 2.6×10⁶ or 5.0×10⁶ CFU/fish, which caused low and high mortality, respectively. Within 48 h, fish inoculated with the 2.6×10⁶ dose were culture positive on the gill surface, blood of the first and second gill arches, blood of the third and fourth gill arches and the nares. However, for the dose of 5.0×10⁶ CFU/fish, S. iniae was also isolated from the olfactory, optic and cerebellum regions of the brain, eye, head kidney, trunk kidney, spleen and liver at 48 h. For the 2.6×10⁶ dose, S. iniae was not isolated until 48 h post-inoculation, but was isolated at 12 h for the 5.0×10⁶ dose. The results of this study indicate that S. iniae can enter hybrid striped bass through the gills. However, mortality at similar S. iniae doses was lower than we previously observed by inoculation of the nares.     

Ultrastructure features of the surface of the gills and the lower pharyngeal jaw of the Tilapia Zilli,redbelly tilapia (Coptodon Zillii,Gervais, 1848)

The present investigation was designed to describe the surface ultrastructure of the gill system of tilapia Zilli. The gill system is formed from four gill arches and each gill arch carries a row of gill filaments on its convex border and two rows of the gill rakers on its concave border. The quadrilateral interbranchial septum has elevated part at the level of the third gill arch. By SEM observations, the gill arch was divided into three regions: rostral, middle and caudal region. The caudal region contained two characteristic structures: oval leaf‐like structure and rounded‐shaped structure. Each oval leaf‐like structure carried two lateral rows of the triangular pointed spines separated by a median groove. All surfaces of gill arches, rakers and filaments were covered with a mosaic of the polygonal pavement cells, in addition to the opening of chloride cells and mucous cells. The gill arch and gill raker had only one appearance of taste buds named type I. Meanwhile, the filaments contained two types of different appearance of the taste buds named: type I and type II. Type I was the main common and similar to that present in gill arch and raker and characterized by its blunt end, while type II had hair‐like structures that projected from the volcano‐shaped depression. The gill rakers were formed from central axis surrounded by two lateral lobulated regions which carry pointed spines, taste buds and the opening of chloride cells. The surface of triangular lower pharyngeal jaw carries numerous teeth‐like papillae which originated from the socket‐like depression.
