Possible increase in catch of Atlantic elver Anguilla anguilla in 1993 and 1994

Data on catches of O+ elvers from nine countries in Europe and of juvenile eels ascending the St. Lawrence River in Canada are presented and compared with previous records. Consideration of a parallel decline in recruitment in Canada supports the theory that oceanic conditions are responsible for the observed fall in catches. A substantial increase in the Loire, to 95 tons in 1994, may indicate an overall improvement in stocks.     

欧鳗黑仔苗在不同盐度条件下生长效果的比较

本实验主要研究欧鳗黑仔苗在盐度分别为0、5、10和15的水体中的生长差异.实验结果表明,盐度对欧鳗黑仔苗的生长和体内蛋白酶活性具有显著的影响(P＜0.05);对欧鳗黑仔苗的成活率没有影响(P＞0.05);对欧鳗黑仔苗的总摄食量、饵料系数有显著的影响(P＜0.05).盐度为10时生长速度最快,饵料系数最低.     

On the actual recruitment of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) in the River Ems,Germany

Data from the historical River Ems glass eel fisheries in the 20th Century have been used for the ICES recruitment series. Commercial catches ceased from 1980 and dropped to zero; thus, eel recruitment data are since lacking. The present study assessed the actual eel recruitment to the River Ems with regard to the local tidal conditions. Standardised measurements were performed on relative glass eel occurrence at the tidal weir from 2014 and quantitative sampling at the next weir upstream from 2013. Eel migration at the tidal weir was dominated by glass eels and increased 2–3 month earlier than at the upstream weir, where migration was dominated by pigmented eels. In 2016, glass eels were marked at the tidal weir and pigmented elvers were sampled at the upstream weir. The 2016 eel recruitment was estimated at about 1% of the mean historical recruitment. Eel recruitment at the two weirs was not directly linked. Many eels seem not to pass the upstream weir. Further investigations are needed to reveal whether the results represent a regular pattern. In the long run, the perpetuation of the recruitment series is also foreseen.     

Hg（2＋）对5种鳗鲡白仔急性毒性影响的研究

以日本鳗鲡（Anguilla japonica）、欧洲鳗鲡（A.anguilla）、印尼鳗鲡（A.bicolor pacifica）、菲律宾鳗鲡（A.m orm orata）和美洲鳗鲡（A.rostrata）5种鳗鲡白仔为试验对象设计急性毒性试验,研究了汞离子（Hg2＋）对5种鳗鲡白仔的致死作用和种间差异,试验时间为96 h。结果表明,Hg2＋对5种鳗鲡白仔的24 h半致死质量浓度（24h LC50）依次为日本鳗鲡（0.408 mg.L-1）〉欧洲鳗鲡（0.179 mg.L-1）〉美洲鳗鲡（0.111 mg.L-1）〉菲律宾鳗鲡（0.052 mg.L-1）〉印尼鳗鲡（0.018 mg.L-1）。而48 h、72 h和96 h的LC50依次为日本鳗鲡〉美洲鳗鲡〉欧洲鳗鲡〉菲律宾鳗鲡〉印尼鳗鲡。日本鳗鲡和美洲鳗鲡表现出较强的耐受性,养殖水体应严格限制Hg2＋的输入。

Somatic growth, survival, feed utilization and starvation in European elver Anguilla anguilla (Linnaeus) under two different photoperiods

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of two photoperiod regimes under artificial conditions on growth performance and survival in the European eel Anguilla anguilla during the transition from glass eel to elver. The fish were held in 12-h-light:12-h-dark (12L:12D) and in continuous darkness (DD) in fed and fast trials lasting 80 days. Fed fish kept in the dark showed higher somatic growth, and a better feed conversion ratio, higher protein and lipid content, with significant differences between treatments. Dark environment increased the survival rate in comparison with fish exposed to 12L:12D, during which eels showed lower survival rates and greater variations in size. Fasted fish suffered loss of body mass in both photoperiods at the end of the experimental phase, but fish exposed to 12L:12D lost more body mass. These results indicate that the photoperiod is a key factor during the glass eel–elver stage, which may contribute to optimizing the early stages of eel culture.     

日本鳗鲡人工繁殖技术研究最新进展

日本鳗鲡（Anguilla japonica）人工繁殖是至今尚未解决的世界性难题。2001～2003年日本水产综合研究中心在实施政府资助研究专项“生态保护型增养殖体系建设一种苗生产、放流技术开发”期间，对已有40余年研究历史的日本鳗鲡人工繁殖涉及的亲鱼选育、催熟、催产、优质卵判别、仔鱼培育等关键技术进行了比较系统的研究。经过270d培育，于2003年首次成功获得日本鳗鲡白仔鳗苗（体长52．6mm）。本文在主要介绍这一研究成果的同时，概要介绍我国在这一领域的最新研究进展，希望能为我国的日本鳗鲡人工繁殖研究提供参考。     

Effects of feeding stimulants on the feed consumption,growth and survival at glass eel and elver stages in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla)

Elvers and glass eels of Anguilla anguilla were fed diets containing two types of feeding stimulants (FS) that were based on processed marine (MBFS) and yeast proteins (YBFS). Elvers (1.5 ± 0.3 g) were fed seven diets (MBFS and YBFS diets at 20 g kg^?1, 40 g kg^?1 and 60 g kg^?1 plus control) for 60 days. Glass eels (250 ± 100 mg) were weaned to 60 g kg^?1 MBFS, 60 g kg^?1 YBFS and control diets for 30 days. Diets containing 60 g kg^?1 FS had a beneficial effect in terms of growth, homogenous size distribution and feed intake in elvers. Elvers fed 60 g kg^?1 MBFS and YBFS diets grew 11.9% and 5.6% faster than the control group. No differences in growth and size distribution were detected in glass eels fed 60 g kg^?1 MBFS and YBFS diets. However, FS affected the digestive system maturation; fish fed the 60 g kg^?1 MBFS and YBFS diets showed higher and intermediate values in the specific enzyme activities in comparison with the control group. This study revealed that the incorporation of FS into a pelleted diet was beneficial on the overall performance of European glass eels and elvers. However, the observed results were different depending on the eel’s stage of development, as well as the type and inclusion level of the FS.
