草鱼巨噬细胞的集结及相关的组织变化

给草鱼腹腔注射细微炭粒（墨汁）后不同时间取样，比较观察了草鱼胸腺、肝、脾、头肾和肾组织中巨噬细胞集结（ｍ ａｃｒｏｐｈａｇｅ ａｇｇｒｅｇａｔｉｏｎ ， Ｍ Ａ）状况及相应组织的变化。结果表明，在头肾和脾组织中， Ｍ Ａ 的数量和体积均较肝和肾中的多而大，胸腺中所产生的 Ｍ Ａ 数量较肝和肾中的少，体积也小；注射墨汁后 １～３ 周内，在胸腺、头肾、肝和脾组织中， Ｍ Ａ 的数量和体积均有不同程度的增加，但在注射墨汁后第 ４ 周的肾组织中， Ｍ Ａ 的体积缩小而且密度降低，同时肾组织结构有逐渐恢复的趋势，可能是由于 Ｍ Ａ 分解后通过肾小球和肾小管排泄到膀胱或体外的缘故。对草鱼 Ｍ Ａ 的组织分布、排除等分析认为， Ｍ Ａ 可作为草鱼非特异细胞防御作用的解剖学和细胞学的一种生物标记。

【目的】探究基塘农业模式下,不同饲料养殖草鱼的生长性能、常规营养成分和经济效益的差异。【方 法】设置蛹肽蛋白饲料组、混合料组、普通料组进行养殖对比试验,每组选择初始体重为 770（±11.2）g 的草 鱼 610 尾,分别放入面积相同的试验池塘养殖 180 d,试验期结束后每组随机抽取 4 尾草鱼,采集侧线上方背脊 肌肉,制成 4 个质量均为 50（±3.8）g 的混合样作为每组 4 个重复,另外试验前随机抽取 4 尾初始规格鱼种的 背脊肌肉制成混合样设置为空白对照。【结果】蛹肽蛋白饲料组草鱼增重率最高（134.3%）,肌肉粗脂肪含量 （1.74%）显著高于其他组,从增重率与特定生长率两个指标看,均呈现出蛹肽蛋白饲料组 > 普通料组 > 混合料 组的显著性差异;混合料组的草鱼粗蛋白含量（20.7%）和鲜味氨基酸含量（6.37%）均最高,而脂肪含量最低 （1.27%）,投入产出比最低（0.941）。初始组不饱和脂肪酸含量（71.07%）显著高于 3 个试验组,3 个试验组 草鱼肌肉油酸（C18:1）含量与氨基酸总量均高于初始组,蛹肽蛋白料组与普通料组的鱼肉营养成分无显著差异。【结 论】摄食蛹肽蛋白饲料的草鱼增重率高,但容易沉积体脂,导致体型肥胖;混合料组的草鱼生长速度慢,但鱼 肉粗蛋白含量最高（20.7%）,脂肪含量最低（1.27%）,肉质更鲜美。基塘农业模式下利用闲置区域种青养鱼, 能有效降低饲料成本,改善鱼肉品质。     

迷迭香精油壳聚糖纳米粒的制备及其对冷藏草鱼保鲜效果研究

为探讨迷迭香精油壳聚糖纳米粒对冷藏(4℃)草鱼肉的保鲜效果,利用离子交联法制备迷迭香精油壳聚糖纳米制剂(CS-NP-REO)并优化其制备工艺。通过超滤离心法测定纳米粒包封率和载药量,在扫描电镜下观察其粒径大小和外观形态,进一步测定其对冷藏草鱼肉的保鲜效果。结果表明:在壳聚糖(CS)、三聚磷酸钠(TPP)和迷迭香精油(REO)质量浓度分别为2、1.5和2mg/mL,体积比5∶2∶1,pH 4的条件下制备的CS-NP-REO纳米粒包封率为84.52%,载药量为10.56%,粒径约200nm,颗粒饱满,大小均一;用CS-NP-REO处理过的冷藏草鱼肉片,在贮藏第7天时菌落总数为3.55×10~6 CFU/g、硫代巴比妥酸值(TBARS)为0.61×10~(-3) mg/g、挥发性盐基氮值(TVB-N)为18.74mg/hg,货架期为8d以上,相比对照组延长3～4d,其保鲜效果优于迷迭香精油和壳聚糖纳米粒的单独使用。说明迷迭香精油壳聚糖纳米粒具有抑制微生物生长及脂肪氧化、延长冷藏草鱼肉货架期的作用。     

投喂蚕豆对草鱼免疫器官超微结构和免疫基因表达的影响

为研究草鱼摄食蚕豆后免疫功能变化及转投30 d人工饲料后免疫增强效果,在草鱼摄食蚕豆30、60、90、120及150 d(转投饲料30 d)时,检测肠道、头肾、肝脏等器官超微结构及C-type lysozyme、IFN-I、TNF-α等免疫基因表达变化。结果表明:1)饲喂单一饲料蚕豆的草鱼,其肠道、头肾、肝脏等3个重要免疫器官受到严重损伤,转投饲料30 d后其病变并未显著好转;2)免疫基因C-type lysozyme、IFN-I、TNF-α、IgM和MHC-I的表达在30～120 d均被抑制,转投饲料30 d后,头肾中C-type lysozyme、IL-1β、IFN-I、IgM、MHC-I以及肝脏中IL-1β、TNF-α、IFN-I、IgM、MHC-I的表达量有所增加。综上,草鱼摄食蚕豆后其免疫功能受到显著抑制,而转投30 d饲料对脆肉鲩的免疫机能具有一定的恢复作用。     

Reproductive ability of second generation ornamental (koi) carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) × goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) hybrids and characteristics of their offspring

The purpose of this study was to investigate the reproductive ability of second generation (F₂) koi (Cyprinus carpio L.) × goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) hybrids. Only diploid F₂ males and females were fertile and used in crosses. A significant increase was recorded in male fertility in F₂ versus F₁. In contrast with an earlier study in which only one fertile F₁ male was found, about 20% of F₂ males produced sperm. The observed reproductive ability of F₂ hybrids was similar to that demonstrated by the only fertile F₁ male and F₁ females. F₂ males produced diploid spermatozoa and generated triploids when crossed with koi females. All triploid fish in these progenies were males indicating that F₂ males had a sex chromosome constitution of XY. F₂ females produced diploid eggs and generated mostly triploids when crossed with koi males. In progenies obtained by crosses of F₂ males with F₁ and F₂ females, most of the surviving juveniles (63%–100%) were diploid; a minority of juveniles were aneuploid (ploidy ranged from 2.1n to 3.6n). Diploid fish in these progenies were presumably the result of spontaneous androgenesis and gynogenesis, by the same mechanisms observed earlier in progenies obtained by crossing the F₁ male with F₁ females.     

Interactive effects of coffee bean supplementation and waterborne zinc toxicity on growth performance,biochemical variables,antioxidant activity and zinc bioaccumulation in whole body of common carp,Cyprinus carpio L.

Roasted coffee powder (RCP; Coffea arabica) is usually used as a beverage for human but there are few attempts to use it as a natural feed supplement in fish diets. In this study, common carp, Cyprinus carpio L., (11.8 ± 0.09 g) were reared in zinc (Zn)‐containing water at concentrations of 0.0 or 5.0 mg/L and cosupplemented with 0.0 or 1.0 g RCP/kg diet for 6 weeks to investigate effects of RCP supplementation, Zn exposure and their interaction on fish performance, biochemical variables, antioxidant activity and Zn bioaccumulation in whole fish body. Fish growth and feed intake were significantly affected by RCP supplementation, Zn toxicity and their interaction. However, fish fed a RCP‐supplemented diet did not exhibit better performance than those fed the RCP‐free diet and both diets produced higher fish performance than the Zn‐toxicated fish. It is noticed that RCP supplementation to Zn‐toxicated fish enhanced their growth, and feed utilization as compared to Zn‐toxicated fish alone. Fish fed control and RCP‐enriched diets showed no significant differences in biochemical variables, which were significantly altered due to waterborne Zn toxicity. Moreover, Zn reduced significantly; meanwhile, RCP supplementation increased significantly superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities. Notably, Zn exposure could reduce fish growth and antioxidant activity and increase Zn deposition in whole fish body. And RCP intake could enhance the antioxidant activity exerting a protective effect against Zn toxicity, thereby reducing Zn bioaccumulation in whole fish body.     

Dietary available phosphorus requirement for juvenile gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio var. CASIII)

A 57‐day growth experiment was conducted with juvenile gibel carp (13.48 ± 0.10 g) in a flow‐through system to study the effect of dietary phosphorus on growth performance, body composition, nutrition utilization, phosphorus loading and enzymes activities. Seven semipurifed diets were formulated to contain 0.07 (the basal), 2.27, 5.32, 8.10, 12.06, 15.24 and 19.48 g available phosphorus/kg diet. The results showed that specific growth rate, body length and feed efficiency significantly increased in the fish fed diets containing 0.07 to 15.24 g available P/kg diet (p < .05). Ash and P content increased in fish fed diets containing 0.07–12.06 P g/kg (p < .05) and then levelled off, while moisture, crude protein and lipid had no significant difference (p > .05). The protein retention efficiency increased in the fish fed with diets 0.07–5.32 g/kg P (p < .05) and then reached a plateau. The P content in faeces was higher in fish fed diets containing 15.24 and 19.48 g available P/kg. Total P concentration in tank water increased in fish fed 0.07–12.06 g available P per kg diet (p < .05). The plasma P was higher in the fish fed with 15.24 g available P/kg diet (p < .05), triglycerides was lower in the fish fed diet containing 15.24 and 19.48 g available P/kg (p < .05), no significant differences were observed in plasma Ca, plasma glucose and calcitonin (p > .05). Based on SGR, whole body P content and FE, dietary available P requirement for juvenile gibel carp were 13.37, 13.97 g/kg and 15.06 respectively.     

The possibility of application of agglomerate elastomers (EPP) as media for biological bed in aquaculture

The aim of the study was to determine the possibility of experimental media (agglomerate elastomers EPP) application as biological media bed, which serves the purpose of water purification in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). RAS enables mass‐production of fish in small volume of water in a limited area. This involves the possibility of multiple usage of water during culture. However, for that purpose of maintaining proper physico‐chemical parameters, water purification from products of metabolism, especially toxic nitrogen compounds, is required. One of the simplest and most effective ways to achieve it is combining application of two types of water filtration: mechanical and biological. It is needed to study new media for biological bed with proper filling is able to purify water from toxic nitrogen compounds.     

Non‐specific immune responses and intestinal immunity of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fed Jujube (Ziziphus jujube) fruit extract

This study investigated the effects of Jujube (Ziziphus jujube) fruit extract (JFE) as an excellent source of nutrients and phytochemicals on the innate immune responses and expression of genes involved in intestinal immunity of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fingerlings. Three hundred healthy carps (10.78 ± 0.05 g) fingerlings were randomly allocated to 12 fibre glass tanks (300L; 15 fish per tank) and fed for 8 weeks with experimental diets which contained different levels of JFE (0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, or 1%). Thereafter, serum non‐specific immune parameters [total immunoglobulin (Ig) as well as alternative complement (ACH50) and lysozyme activity (SL)] and expression of genes involved in intestinal immunity (lyz, tnf‐alpha, il1b, il8, il10, and tgfb) were measured. The results revealed a significant elevation of Ig level in the JFE‐fed fish (p < 0.05) over the control fish. However, there was no significant difference among treated groups in case of serum total Ig. The highest levels of SL and ACH50 were observed in fish fed 1% of JFE. Nonetheless, no significant difference was noticed regarding SL and ACH50 of control and other supplemented groups (0.25% and 0.5% JFE). Also, expression of lyz, tnf‐alpha, and il1b genes increased significantly (p < 0.05) in JFE‐fed fish, in a dose‐dependent manner. On the other hand, significant (p < 0.05) down‐regulation of il110 and tgfb were noticed in treated groups. The present findings suggested that extraction of Jujube, Z. jujube fruit, possesses beneficial effects on immune responses of common carp.     

Determination of Lipid Peroxidation and Fatty Acid Compositions in the Caviars of Rainbow Trout and Carp

In this study, roes obtained from carp (Cyprinus carpio carpio) that were caught in Keban Dam Lake (Turkey) and cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were processed as caviar, and the products were stored at + 4 C°. Lipid peroxidation and the compositions of fatty acids of these products were assessed during production and storage period. The result of fatty analyses showed that palmitic acid (16:0), stearic acid (18:0), palmitoleic acid (16:1), oleic acid (18:1), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are all essential fatty acids, were determined in the caviars of the roes obtained from rainbow trout and carp. According to results of chemical analyses, there were no significant differences in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs) between rainbow trout and carp caviars (p > 0.05), but malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.01). It can be concluded that caviars obtained from both rainbow trout and carp roes are rich in fatty acids and take a part in a balanced and healthy diet.
