Growth variability of Pacific saury Cololabis saira larvae under contrasting environments across the Kuroshio axis: survival potential of minority versus majority

Growth variability was examined for Pacific saury Cololabis saira larvae under contrasting environments across the Kuroshio axis, based on samples collected during the winter spawning season in 2013 and 2014. The growth rate index (residual of the otolith marginal 3‐day mean increment width from the linear regression on knob length) of larvae was compared among three areas: the inshore side of the Kuroshio axis, the Kuroshio axis, and the offshore side of the Kuroshio axis in relation to sea surface temperature (SST), salinity (SSS) and chlorophyll‐a (CHL) concentration. The larvae were more densely distributed in the Kuroshio axis and offshore areas of higher temperature and salinity and lower chlorophyll‐a concentration than in the inshore areas of lower temperature and salinity and higher chlorophyll‐a concentration. No marked differences in the growth rate index were found among the three areas, even though the larvae in the inshore areas showed slightly higher growth rates in 2013. Despite the broad ranges of environmental factors, no clear relationship between the growth rate index and any environmental factor was detected. The survival potential of Pacific saury larvae was considered to be at least comparable under contrasting environments across the Kuroshio axis. Such a geographical homogeneity is concluded to be attributable to compensable effects of physical and biological factors. We hypothesize that the minority under physically‐unfavorable but biologically‐favorable conditions on the inshore side of the Kuroshio axis could survive equally well as the majority under physically‐favorable but biologically‐unfavorable conditions around the Kuroshio axis and on the offshore side of the Kuroshio axis.     

Effects of temperature on growth,survival and physiological parameters in juveniles of Lophiosilurus alexandri,a carnivorous neotropical catfish

This study aimed to analyse the effects of different water temperatures on the growth, survival and blood physiological parameters of Lophiosilurus alexandri. Juveniles measuring 12.6 ± 0.5 cm and weighing 30.6 ± 3.6 g were subjected to four water temperature regimes: 23, 26, 29 and 32°C with four replicates. The animals were fed twice daily with formulated diet. The experiment lasted for 35 days. Survival was 100% at all water temperatures, and the best temperature for growth was estimated to be 27.8°C using a quadratic regression model. The estimated temperatures for the best feed conversion and highest feed consumption rates were 26.2 and 28.8°C respectively. The fat visceral‐somatic index was highest at 32°C. The highest haemoglobin and haematocrit values were 29.4 and 32.1°C respectively. For plasma protein and cholesterol, the lowest values estimated were 23.9 and 24.1°C respectively. Glucose and liver nitrogen content increased with rising temperature. Higher values of total ammonia in the water were observed at higher temperatures. No effects of temperature were seen on the amounts of muscle dry matter, nitrogen, energy content and triglycerides or on the hepatosomatic index. Water temperature has an important role in the developmental and blood physiological parameters of juvenile L. alexandri, and the quadratic regression model showed that the appropriate temperature for growth is between 27 and 28°C.

以双季稻冬闲田种植绿肥与养鸡结合的新型种养制度为平台,通过冬季绿肥和鸡粪还田,减少水稻生育期化肥用量,探讨“冬季绿肥-双季稻”轮作种植制度和“冬季种养结合-双季稻”种养制度下对稻田土壤微生物碳、氮和可溶性有机碳、氮的影响。试验包括5个处理,分别为冬闲(F)、冬季种植黑麦草(R)、冬季种植紫云英(M)、冬季种植黑麦草与养鸡结合(RC)以及冬季种植紫云英与养鸡结合(MC)。结果表明,在整个试验的动态过程中,微生物量碳、氮及可溶性有机碳、氮含量高低总体趋势表现为绿肥养鸡>绿肥>冬闲,各处理间差异显著(P<0.05);“冬季种养结合-双季稻”种养制度能显著提高土壤微生物量碳、氮和可溶性有机碳、氮。各处理微生物量碳、氮和可溶性有机氮在3月24日达到最大值,RC、MC、R和M处理微生物量碳最大值分别为492.22,464.91,432.34和435.48 mg/kg;微生物量氮的最大值分别为118.20,101.03,70.13和85.46 mg/kg;可溶性有机氮的最大值分别为1001.47,926.21,832.80和870.75 mg/kg;可溶性有机碳在早稻苗期达到最大值,RC、MC、R和M最大值分别为278.95,266.40,246.13和249.84 mg/kg。微生物量碳含量的高峰在早稻移栽初期、晚稻孕穗期和灌浆期,微生物量氮的高峰出现在早稻分蘖期、齐穗灌浆期和晚稻孕穗期,可溶性有机碳在稻田养鸡及成鸡出栏后较高。与冬闲田种植绿肥和休闲相比,冬闲稻田种植绿肥结合养鸡对增加微生物生物量的贡献更大,并显著提高土壤的可溶性有机碳氮,间接反映了种养制度能提高土壤有机碳、氮的矿化速率和土壤的活性有机碳氮以及满足水稻生长期间自身养分需求。     

基质和遮阴对结缕草冷季生长幼苗构件及生物量分配的影响

通过设置5种基质和5个遮阴梯度,对结缕草（Zoysia japonica）扦插苗进行交叉处理,经3个月的冷季生长后,测定幼苗的存活率、生长特性、构件性状及生物量等指标,分析基质和遮阴对冷季生长结缕草幼苗构件性状及生物量分配的影响。结果表明：基质对结缕草存活率、干重、鲜重及生物量分配均有极显著影响,利于结缕草冷季存活与生长的基质顺序为成熟紫色土 > 建渣土 > 粗砂土 > 石谷子土 > 腐殖土;遮阴度对结缕草存活率有极显著影响,30%左右遮阴利于结缕草在冷季存活与生长;基质和遮阴度互作对结缕草幼苗构件性状及生物量分配有显著影响,基质是影响主要因子,遮阴度次之;基质和遮阴协同作用对结缕草构件生物量分配影响为叶 > 根 > 茎,结缕草可依据基质和遮阴采取相应的形态塑性和生长策略,以提高适应性和抗寒性。     

冬季作物对水稻生育期土壤微生物量碳、氮的影响

选取我国南方4种冬季作物黑麦草、紫云英、油菜、马铃薯,以冬闲田作对照,对水稻生育期土壤微生物量碳（SMBC）和土壤微生物量氮（SMBN）的短期内动态变化进行了研究。结果表明,早稻田翻耕前,冬季作物处理土壤SMBC和SMBN与冬闲田存在显著差异(P0.05),黑麦草处理SMBC为398.5 mg/kg,显著高于其他作物;紫云英处理SMBN最高,为97.8 mg/kg。在早稻整个生育期,黑麦草处理SMBC显著高于其他处理,晚稻生长过程中各处理无显著差异。冬季作物对稻田土壤微生物商(MQ)的影响,随着水稻生长发育进程有不同程度的变化,黑麦草处理在早稻整个生育期高于冬闲田。     

不同小麦品种氮、硫积累特性与子粒品质的关系

依据小麦子粒含硫量和N/S比值的差异,用聚类分析的方法,将供试的12个小麦品种分为3 组:高N/S比组、中N/S比组和低N/S比组。研究不同类型小麦氮硫积累特性及其与子粒品质的关系,结果表明,小麦植株的氮素积累量与硫素积累量呈极显著正相关,氮素收获指数与硫素收获指数之间无显著线性相关关系。高N/S比组品种具有较高的氮素积累量或氮素收获指数,但硫素收获指数或硫素积累量相应较低;中N/S比组品种氮素收获指数高,硫素收获指数亦高;低N/S比组品种硫素积累量和硫素收获指数均较高,但氮素收获指数较低,植株体积累的氮素和硫素在子粒中分配比例的不同是品种间子粒N/S比值差异的重要原因。不同N/S比组品种比较,子粒谷蛋白含量、谷蛋白含量与醇溶蛋白含量比值、面团形成时间和稳定时间存在显著差异,且与子粒N/S比值呈极显著二次曲线关系,适宜的N/S比有利于子粒谷蛋白的积累及子粒品质的形成。     

氮肥后移对土壤氮素供应和冬小麦氮素吸收利用的影响

采用田间试验研究了氮肥后移对土壤氮素供应和冬小麦氮素吸收利用的影响。结果表明,与农民习惯施氮（N 300 kg/hm2,基肥和拔节肥各占1/2）比较,氮肥后移处理（N210kg/hm2,基肥、拔节肥和孕穗肥各占1/3）在不降低小麦产量的同时,大大提高了氮肥利用率,且全生育期氮素表观损失极低。过量施用氮肥(N 300 kg/hm2)明显提高了60 cm以下土层硝态氮含量,增加了其向地下水淋溶迁移的风险。氮肥后移可提高小麦成熟期0-20cm土层硝态氮积累量,降低其在20-100cm土层的积累。基于冬小麦不同生育阶段的氮素吸收量而进行氮肥后移是可行的,氮肥后移可节省氮肥30%,是较为理想的施氮方式。     

陇东旱塬区降雨量演变与冬小麦产量和生长发育变化关系的探讨

分析农业部西北旱作营养与施肥科学观测站27年的降雨量演变资料,探讨这种演变过程对冬小麦产量及其它相关性状的影响.结果表明:陇东地区降雨分布与小麦生长期需水错位,随着气候变化,这种错位持续加深.降雨量演变对冬小麦品种的性状产生了不同方向的影响,有效穗数与最高茎数趋于减少、株高降低;穗粒数、千粒重趋于增加;出苗期推迟,抽穗期提前,快速生长、发育阶段和全生育期明显缩短.同时,降雨对陇东旱塬小麦产量的关键限制时期逐步从小麦营养生长前期向生殖生长期推移.
