High‐oil residue camelina meal,a viable source of protein at low levels in diets for juvenile salmonids

The oilseed Camelina sativa has been studied as a lipid source for farmed salmonids, but recommended inclusion as a protein source has not been determined. This study evaluated low inclusion of camelina high‐oil residue meal (HORM) at 20, 40 and 60 g/kg of the diet, to determine an adequate level for Atlantic salmon parr (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Salmon and trout were fed experimental diets containing up to 60 g/kg HORM for 16 weeks. At 40 g/kg HORM, trout and salmon growth performance were similar to those fed a control diet. However, at 60 g/kg HORM, trout showed lower final weight, weight gain and feed intake than those fed the control diet. Rainbow trout fed 40 and 60 g/kg HORM showed significantly lower whole body ash (p = .005), slightly lower whole body protein levels and higher fat than the control. In salmon fed 60 g/kg HORM diets, whole body ash (p = .024), and the submucosal layer of the intestine was thicker than the control (p = .007). Current results indicate that up to 40 g/kg HORM can be included in diets for rainbow trout and salmon juveniles.     

Comparative survival and growth performance of European lobster Homarus gammarus post‐larva reared on novel feeds

One approach to ongrow juvenile European lobster, Homarus gammarus, is to utilize land based rearing systems, incorporating automated feeding, individual culture and provision of stable pelleted feeds, preferably using sustainable ingredients. We initiated three feeding experiments to investigate the general suitability of ingredients produced from seafood by‐products as novel feeds for H. gammarus, in terms of promoting survival, development and growth of post‐larval lobsters from post‐larvae (PL) stage IV to the first juvenile stage (stage V). The first experiment was designed to screen an array of candidate, locally produced, novel protein sources on growth performance parameters. This initial experiment revealed that PL reared on a raw (i.e. wet, unprocessed shrimp) feed used as a reference showed superior performance to those reared on experimental feeds containing fishmeal, herring protein isolate or mussel meal; however, a novel type of shrimp meal, produced by flocculation from waste water, promoted the best PL performance of any experimental feed. A second experiment was designed to test the effect of drying method and to optimize the form of a wet shrimp reference feed used by lobster hatcheries. This showed that the performance of PL reared on experimental freeze‐dried shrimp feed was not significantly different to those reared on the wet, unprocessed shrimp used as a reference feed. However, lobsters offered experimental oven‐dried shrimp feed (with or without an immune supplement) resulted in significantly lower survival or growth performance. A third and final experiment was designed in an attempt to improve a candidate herring‐based protein source, by supplementing with nutrients found in shrimp. However, the results showed that PL reared on the wet reference shrimp feed still showed superior growth and survival than those reared on a herring feed alone, or supplemented with additives found in shrimp meal (either glucosamine, astaxanthin or both supplements combined). The high survival and growth, low incidence of moulting problems and high availability of waste shrimp material, suggest that non‐heat‐treated shrimp products are a promising feed ingredient for post‐larval European lobsters.     

Quantitative trait loci for fruit size and flowering time-related traits under domestication and diversifying selection in cucumber (Cucumis sativus)

In cucumber, the genetic basis of traits under domestication and/or diversifying selection is not well understood. Here, we reported QTL mapping for flowering time and fruit size-related traits with segregating populations derived from a cultivated × wild cross. Phenotypic data of flowering time (FT), fruit size (FS), fruit number (FN) and fruit weight per plant (FW) were collected in multiple environments. QTL analysis identified 19 QTL for these traits. We found that the major-effect QTL FT1.1 played an important role in regulating flowering time in cultivated cucumber, whereas the minor-effect QTL FT6.3 contributed to photoperiod sensitive flowering time during domestication. Two novel consensus FS QTL, FS1.4 and FS2.3, seem to be the targets of selection during breeding for the US processing cucumber. All other FS QTL were co-localized with previously detected QTL using populations derived from cultivated cucumbers, suggesting that they were under selection during both initial domestication and subsequent improvement. Results from this study also suggested that the wild cucumber is a useful resource for capturing positive transgressive segregation and novel alleles that could be explored in cucumber breeding.     

青土湖干涸湖底2种典型固沙植物群落土壤粒径分布分形特征与养分关系研究

以石羊河流域下游青土湖干涸湖底人工梭梭林和白刺灌丛沙包土壤为研究对象，通过分析2种植物群落5种立地条件土壤粒径分布和分形特征及其与土壤养分的关系，揭示了湖底2种典型植物群落土壤粒度的分布特征。结果表明:1）研究区固沙植被0~10 cm土壤颗粒以细砂粒为主，没有粗砂粒，其中白刺灌丛沙包表层极细砂含量、土壤颗粒物分形维数较梭梭林和对照区高。2）土壤颗粒分形维数与各粒级颗粒百分含量的关系差异较大，分形维数与黏粒、极细砂含量呈显著正相关，与细砂、中砂含量呈显著负相关，但是与粉粒含量关系不显著。土壤颗粒分形维数越大，土壤所含的细粒物质越多。3）土壤分形维数D值、黏粒、粉粒含量与有机质（SOM）、全N（TN）呈正相关性，土壤颗粒物的分形维数越大、土壤黏粒、粉粒含量越高，则土壤有机质、全N含量越高。综合分析，固定白刺灌丛表层土壤沙化程度相对较低，其他类型风蚀严重，因此，应积极采取生物措施和工程措施开展生态修复防治风蚀和盐尘暴的发生。

脉冲式烟雾水雾机热力雾化水剂农药效果分析

针对脉冲式烟雾水雾机在喷施水雾剂农药时常出现滴液、流液或较大雾滴群等雾化不良现象，通过改装6HYW-60S型脉冲式烟雾水雾机，将药液流量设置成可调的测试装置，设定5个油门开度及4个药液流量，测试了脉冲发动机喷药前后的气流速度、温度及各喷药工况下的雾滴粒径分布。结果表明，在最小的油门启动开度到最大的油门工作开度可调范围内，对应的脉冲发动机燃油消耗率变化范围较小（相对变化13.0%），喷管内对应的气流温度与速度也发生同等程度的变化。喷药时，喷管口处的气流温度与速度发生明显变化，由不喷药时约700℃的高温气流下降为75℃左右的雾滴流，相应的气流速度下降了16%左右；油门开度及药液流量对雾滴流温度的影响非常小，但对雾滴流速度的影响非常明显，油门开度增大，雾滴流速度明显增加，药液流量增大，雾滴流速度明显下降。在各油门开度下，对最小药液流量20L/h的雾化效果均不佳，尤其距喷雾出口较近处存在大量的300μm以上的较大雾滴，这些大雾滴极易跌落至地面，无法有效喷施到目标物上；药液流量增大至40L/h及以上时，各油门开度下的雾滴体积中径均较小，同一工况下各位置点的平均值不超过60μm。热力雾化的雾滴粒径分布曲线不是单一峰值的正态分布形态，常会出现不同中心雾滴粒径的雾滴群，且这些雾滴群的中心雾滴粒径基本保持一致。从喷雾出口喷出的雾滴流中，喷管中心轴线上的雾滴细小均匀、雾化充分，中心轴线上方的雾滴一般比中心点处稍大，中心轴线下方雾滴明显增大，且距中心轴线越远的下方，雾滴增大越明显，即雾滴流中较大雾滴群的量逐渐增加。以药液流量60L/h及油门开度90°为最佳雾化工况，在整个喷施区域内均形成了良好的雾化效果。

为对泸沽湖省级自然保护区的生物多样性及环境质量做出更好的评估,分别于2016年3月,6月,7月就其鱼类资源特点及其分布格局等开展了3次调查。结果表明,泸沽湖省级自然保护区记录鱼类6目8科15属17种,鲤形目鲤科鱼类种数最为丰富,共9种,占泸沽湖鱼类总种数的52.9%;土著鱼类仅2属4种,分别为泥鳅、厚唇裂腹鱼、宁蒗裂腹鱼、小口裂腹鱼。区系组成与云贵高原湖泊存在共同特点:种类贫乏,个体较小,生长稍慢。泸沽湖鱼类物种多样性匮乏、物种同域分化现象明显、鱼类特有性极强、物种群落脆弱性极高、物种组成自然性偏低。文中提出保护好鱼类产卵场,加强入湖河流的清淤治理,建立保育繁殖基地等保护策略。     

Selection efficiency of high inorganic phosphorus-low stachyose lines from soybean breeding populations of different genetic backgrounds

Reducing the antinutritional components of soybean (Glycine max) seed is necessary for producing animal feed with increased metabolizable energy and nutrient availability. The objective of this study was to evaluate marker-assisted and phenotypic selection for the high inorganic phosphorus (Pi) and low stachyose traits controlled by the Lpa and MIPS1 mutations in six breeding populations. Phenotypic selection for low phytate individuals carrying Lpa mutations using Pi was reliable, but the assay should include parental genotypes to construct thresholds before performing selections, as the effect of Lpa on Pi depends on genetic background. Phenotypic selection for low phytate individuals carrying MIPS1 using Pi should be complemented with sugar data because selection based solely on Pi may be inefficient, as this trait is not environmentally stable in MIPS1 germplasm. Marker-assisted selection for simple sequence repeat (SSR) linked to Lpa2 (Satt527, Satt561) depended on the pedigree of the population suggesting that perfect markers (e.g., single nucleotide polymorphism) should become the molecular tool for screening a large number of progenies with high efficiency.     

Effect of dietary protein content on growth rate,survival and body composition of juvenile cauque river prawn,Macrobrachium americanum (Bate 1868)

We determined the effect of four concentrations of dietary crude protein, 30.7, 37.2, 41.8 and 46.8% on growth rate, survival and body composition of the juvenile cauque river prawn (Macrobrachium americanum). The prawns were hatched in the laboratory from the spawn of one wild ovigerous female. Prawns consuming 37.2% crude protein reached a final weight of 0.58 g (feed conversion ratio of 2.15), which was significantly better than the other treatments. Survival was 100% in all treatments. Protein content in the diets had no significant effect on whole body proximate composition and amino acid profile. Juveniles consuming the 37.2% crude protein diet grew faster than those fed the other diets. Specific growth rate was adjusted to the two‐slope broken‐line regression analysis model to estimate the optimal protein requirement. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that the 37.2% protein level diet is optimal for juvenile cauque river prawn M. americanum in the experimental conditions of this study.
