Three experiments were conducted to investigate the growth, survival, and standardized cohort biomass of Pacific bluefin tuna, Thunnus orientalis, larvae fed nutritionally enhanced prey during the first week of feeding using two commonly used, commercially available enrichment media, AlgaMac Enrich and Marine Glos. T. orientalis larvae exhibited exponential growth in standard length and dry weight. The daily specific growth rates in length and weight are the first reported for T. orientalis larvae and the averages ranged from 3.8 to 4.1% and 27.5%, respectively, for larvae in the AlgaMac treatment and from 4.1 to 6.1% and 31.5%, respectively, in the Marine Glos treatment. Average daily growth rates in length ranged from 0.16 to 0.23 mm/d for larvae in the AlgaMac treatment and from 0.17 to 0.27 mm/d for those in the Marine Glos treatment. Daily growth rates in length were similar to those reported for other tuna larvae reared in the laboratory but slower than most published estimates for larval tunas in situ at similar water temperatures. Mean prey number per gut was positively associated with mean prey level in the tank. Both enrichment media appear to be good sources of nutritional improvement of planktonic prey for T. orientalis larvae. 相似文献

To investigate the reason for the high mortality of cultured juvenile Pacific bluefin tuna (PBT), especially during land‐based culture, we examined the effect of the rate of light‐intensity change during the dawn period. Juvenile PBT kept in a natural light environment (control) were compared with those exposed to an artificially slowed change in light intensity during the dawn period (test group). For the test group, lamps, which were connected to automatic timers and placed above the rearing tank, were switched on from 0345 to 0515 h at 15‐min intervals. After 9 d, the survival rate of the test and control group was identical. Between Day 1 and Day 6, whole‐body cortisol levels were not different between groups. However, whole‐body glucose levels in the test group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Both groups displayed a diel rhythm in plasma cortisol concentration that peaked at 0300–0600 h. These results suggest that slowing the increase in light intensity during the dawn period did not improve survival and that low light intensity itself induces high mortality in cultured PBT juveniles. 相似文献

To standardize conditions during the final maturation and ovulation of ovarian follicles from Japanese eel, we have developed
a culture system for the production of fertilizable eggs from post-vitellogenic ovarian follicles in vitro. Post-vitellogenic
ovarian follicles were incubated in culture medium supplemented with 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP) with or without
bovine serum albumin (BSA) to assess the effects of protein concentration. Eggs that ovulated during incubation were fertilized,
and the remaining follicles were incubated in prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) for a further 3 or 6 h before fertilization. Male eels were injected repeatedly with human chorionic gonadotropin. The quality
of eggs obtained under the different culture conditions was evaluated after artificial fertilization in terms of hatching
success. Hatching rates tended to decrease with increasing concentrations of BSA in the incubation medium in a dose-dependent
manner. The addition of PGF2α drastically increased the number of eggs that ovulated, but the rate of hatching was greatly decreased compared with eggs
obtained earlier by DHP incubation alone. The larvae obtained from artificially fertilized eggs produced in vitro survived
for 14 days without feeding. We conclude that in vitro culture systems thus have a great potential for the acquisition of
good quality eggs under tightly controlled artificial conditions, culminating in the production of eel larvae. 相似文献

A fuzzy optimization model is developed to allocate allowable total nitrogen (T-N) loads to distributed nonpoint sources (NPSs)
and point sources (PSs) in a watershed for river water quality management using the linear programing technique. The watershed
is divided into uniform grid cells on which T-N loads issuing from NPSs such as paddy fields, upland crop fields and cities
are controlled. A geographic information system integrated with the digital elevation model facilitates computation of route
lengths of surface and subsurface flows from cells to a river running through the watershed. The T-N loads discharged from
their sources are assumed to decay, subject to distance-related first-order kinetics. As management goals, maximizations of
total allowable NPS loads, total allowable PS loads and total yield of rice are considered from environmental and economic
viewpoints. A prime constraint is an effluent limitation standard for the aggregate amount of loads that arrive at the downstream
end of the river. The fuzzy sets theory helps appropriately describe vague attitudes of decision-makers (i.e., stakeholders
and management authorities) in terms of constraints and conflicting goals. An application of the fuzzy optimization model,
developed as an improvement over our last nonfuzzy model, to a real watershed in Shiga prefecture, Japan, demonstrates that
the fuzzy model embodies our last model, and is capable of creating management alternatives for T-N load allocation in a more
practical and flexible manner. 相似文献

A cell-based distributed watershed model is developed which enables us to simulate the hydrological and hydraulic aspects
of the watershed in a refined fashion. With three-zoned cell profiling, the model is composed of three sub-models; tank model
for a surface water zone, soil moisture model for a surface soil zone, and unconfined shallow groundwater flow model for a
subsurface zone. Inclusion of the soil moisture sub-model modified to reroute the infiltration, routed from the tank sub-model,
into the return flow and the groundwater recharge features the model. The groundwater flow sub-model, numerically approximated
by use of the finite volume method and the implicit time-marching scheme, considers a network of on-farm drainage canals as
internal boundaries, which is an essential need for modeling the watershed including farmlands. Cascade-linking of the three
sub-models in a cell and assembling of all the cells over the entire watershed domain provides the global equations system
to be solved. Applicability of the model is demonstrated with its practical application to a real watershed in that paddy
and upland crop fields take great part of the land-use practice. It is then indicated in a quantified manner that rice farming
significantly contribute as a major groundwater recharger in an irrigation period to fostering and conservation of regional
water resources. Along with appropriately profiling a cell, the model is so versatile and tough that it can be applied without
difficulty to a watershed of diverse terrains and land-uses and the computations can stably be carried out. It is thus concluded
that the model presently developed could be a powerful “watershed simulator” to investigate and assess the time-varying hydro-environmental
properties of a watershed while separating and integrating the hydrological and hydraulic components of particular importance. 相似文献

Involvement of heme synthesis in the growth stimulation of maize seedlings by 5‐aminolevulinic acid 下载免费PDF全文
The growth of maize seedlings was stimulated by shoot‐applied 5‐aminolevulinic acid 2 days after treatment at 90 and 120 μmol L?1. The effects of 5‐aminolevulinic acid on the activity of nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.2) and nitrite reductase (EC 1.7.7.1) and the chlorophyll, ammonium, heme and total free amino acid content were investigated by using maize seedlings to clarify the involvement of nitrogen metabolism and heme synthesis in the growth stimulation. 5‐Aminolevulinic acid increased the level of nitrate reductase activity at 90 μmol L?1 and the ammonium and heme content at 90 and 120 μmol L?1 2 days after treatment. The total amino acid content increased by 90 and 150 μmol L?1 5‐aminolevulinic acid 2 and 3 days after treatment, respectively. However, no significant change was observed in the activity of nitrite reductase or the chlorophyll content after the 5‐aminolevulinic acid treatment. These results suggest that the enhancement of nitrogen metabolism by nitrate reductase activation is involved in the 5‐aminolevulinic acid‐induced stimulation of maize seedling growth. The activation of nitrate reductase might be related to an increase in the heme content following the 5‐aminolevulinic acid treatment. 相似文献

The body size of juvenile fish is often used as an index of growth rate, which in turn is influenced by local habitat conditions. We evaluated the size and origin of juvenile Chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta in the coastal areas of three regions (Atsuta, Shari, and Konbumori) of Hokkaido, northern Japan. The origin of the individuals in these communities differed between Konbumori and the other two regions. The former contained juveniles that originated from both the nearest stocked river and other rivers that were outside the area of interest. Conversely, the communities in Atsuta and Shari consisted exclusively of fish from the nearest stocked river. Moreover, the juveniles in Konbumori were larger than those in Atsuta and Shari. The results of our otolith analysis suggest that the larger size of the fish in Konbumori was due to the immigration of large individuals from natal rivers at distant locations. Thus, immigrants were likely to enlarge their body size composition in the area of interest. In summary, if the distance from a natal river is adjusted and daily growth is taken into account, body size can be used as an indicator of growth performance in coastal juvenile chum salmon. 相似文献

In the pearl cultivation farms of the Ehime Prefecture, Japan, mass mortalities of the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata have occurred since 1994. The occurrences of mass mortality roughly coincided with a shift of the dominant phytoplankton
from Skeletonema and Chaetoceros to Chaetoceros and Nitzschia all of which belong to Bacillariophyceae. Hence, we evaluated Nitzschia, together with Chaetoceros and Isocrysis, as food for the oyster. Wet weights, lengths, widths, glycogen contents, and growth rates in terms of wet weight of the
oysters in all the feeding treatments were significantly higher than those in the non-feeding treatment. The highest glycogen
content (2.34%) and growth rate (2.21 g month−1) were found in the Chaetoceros treatment. Growth rate in the Isocrysis treatment (1.63 g month−1) was also high, although glycogen content in this treatment (0.41%) was low. In the Nitzschia treatment, growth rate of the oyster (0.94 g month−1) was the lowest and glycogen content (0.83%) was also low relative to that in the Chaetoceros treatment. Chlorophyll a concentration in fecal pellets was lowest in the Nitzschia treatment (<2.7 μg mg−1), suggesting more complete digestion of Nitzschia by the oyster. Thus, Nitzschia was edible and digestible but not assimilated by P. fucata. We propose the following scenario for the relationship between Nitzschia dominance and mass mortality. When Nitzschia dominates in a culture area, the physiological condition of P. fucata deteriorates due to low assimilation of Nitzschia by the oyster, followed by susceptibility of the oyster to infection by agents lethal to the oyster. 相似文献

Growth hormone (GH) plays a specific role to inhibit apoptosis in the bovine mammary gland through the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I system, however, the mechanism of GH action is poorly understood. In this study, we show that GH dramatically inhibits the expression of IGFBP-5, and GH along with IGF-I enhanced the phosphorylation of Akt through the reduction of IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-5. To determine how GH affects Akt through IGF-I in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs), we examined the phosphorylation of Akt in GH treated BMECs and found that IGF-I induced phosphorylation of Akt was significantly enhanced by the treatment with GH. We demonstrated that GH reduces mRNA and protein expression of IGFBP-5 in BMECs, but it does not affect the expression of IGFBP-3. To determine that the enhanced effect of the Akt phosphorylation by the treatment of GH is due to the inhibition of the expression of IGFBP-5, we examined the effect of IGFBP-3 and -5 on the phosphorylation of Akt through IGF-I in the GH-treated BMECs. The phosphorylation of Akt was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner when IGFBP-5 was added at varying concentrations and was also inhibited in the presence of IGFBP-3. The results of this study suggest that GH plays an important role on mammary gland involution in bovine mammary epithelial cells. 相似文献
