红罗非鱼海水养殖试验研究

红罗非鱼对盐度的适应范围较广，本试验将红罗非鱼由淡水中以５‰的盐度梯度逐步驯化到１７．５‰的海水中，成活率达１００％；其最佳生长盐度范围是５‰－１０‰，耐盐度可达３５‰，至４０‰盐度时出现死亡。在不同盐度水体中生长的红罗非鱼粗蛋白，粗脂肪含量顺序为：１７．５‰组＞１０‰组＞５‰组＞０‰。红罗非鱼和对虾混养，对虾成活率达８９．７％；红罗非鱼成活率为６２．６％，而日增重率达２．２６克／天。经测量和数理     

台湾红罗非鱼子代的体色分离及与生长繁殖相关的初步研究

对体色深浅不同的台湾红罗非鱼分组进行繁殖，其子代的体色出现分离现象；不同体色的子代，它们的生长率和繁殖率有差异，且不论亲本的体色深浅如何，均有一部分黑罗非鱼子代产生，子代中黑色个体比例的增减与亲本体表黑斑面积有关。这种分离现象表明，作为杂交种的台湾红罗非鱼其遗传因子在传代过程中发生比较上重组。     

盐度、碱度对尼罗罗非鱼生长和肌肉品质的影响

在水温(24±1)℃下,将初始体质量(50.00±4.12)g的尼罗罗非鱼放入150 cm×60 cm×40 cm循环可控水族缸内,每箱15尾,每组设置3个平行。将尼罗罗非鱼在盐度(12 g/L)、碱度(23.8 mmol/L NaHCO3)、盐碱(12 g/L和23.8 mmol/L NaHCO3)以及淡水(对照组)水体中分别饲养56 d,比较和测量各组鱼体生长性能指标、肌肉常规营养成分、结合氨基酸和游离氨基酸含量,研究盐度、碱度对罗非鱼生长性能和肌肉品质的影响。试验结果显示,与淡水组相比,改变水体盐度、碱度对鱼体质量增加率、特定生长率和饲料系数均无显著影响(P>0.05)。盐碱组鱼肌肉灰分含量升高,粗蛋白含量下降;粗蛋白含量显著低于其他组(P<0.05);各组水分和粗脂肪含量差异不显著(P>0.05)。各组必需氨基酸量与氨基酸总量比值和必需氨基酸与非必需氨基酸比值分别为40%~41%和66%~69%,各组间差异不显著(P>0.05);处理组中必需氨基酸指数为47.06~59.66,盐碱组>碱度组>盐度组,盐碱组显著高于盐度组和碱度组(P<0.05)。碱度组、盐碱组和盐度组鲜味氨基酸总量分别为淡水组的1.78倍、1.74倍和1.63倍,且碱度组和盐碱组显著高于盐度组(P<0.05);盐碱组甜味氨基酸和游离氨基酸总量显著高于盐度和碱度组(P<0.05)。水体盐度、碱度均可有效改善罗非鱼肌肉营养价值和呈味特征,而碱度对肌肉呈味的影响效果更加明显。     

Effect of Salinity on Growth,Feed Utilization,and Survival of Tilapia rendalli Under Laboratory Conditions

ABSTRACT

Juvenile T. rendalli were evaluated for 10 weeks to determine the effect of salinity on growth, feed utilization, and survival in tanks. Fish weighing 3.94 ± 0.44 g were stocked into twelve 50-L rectangular tanks at 15 fish /tank. The fish were raised in three salinity levels (5, 10, 15‰, and freshwater as a control). There were three replicate tanks per treatment. After the feeding experiment, a digestibility trial was conducted for two weeks. After 70 days, fish in the 10‰ treatment grew significantly larger (P < 0.05) than those in 5‰, 15‰, and freshwater. T. rendalli cultured in 10‰ had significantly lower feed conversion ratios and higher feed conversion efficiency and protein efficiency ratios. Survival of the fish was significantly (P < 0.05) different and depended on salinity level. The apparent digestibilities of crude protein, fat, ash, and gross energy were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in T. rendalli cultured in the 10‰ salinity treatment. However, apparent digestibility of dry matter did not differ significantly (P < 0.05) between 10‰ and 5‰. The results obtained indicate that 10‰ is optimal for T. rendalli in tank culture.     

Effect of a Dietary Mixture of Beneficial Bacteria on Growth Performance,Health Condition,Chemical Composition,and Water Quality of Nile Tilapia,Oreochromis niloticus Fingerlings

ABSTRACT

Effects of dietary supplementation of Bifidobacterium longhum, Bifidobacterium thermophilum, Bacillus subtilis, and Lactobacillus acidophilus on growth performance, health condition, body chemical composition, and water quality of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings were evaluated. Five experimental treatments in triplicate were fed a diet containing 30% crude protein supplemented with variable inclusion of bacterial mixture: control, T1, T2, T3, and T4 containing 0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 g bacterial mixture/kg diet, respectively. Fish fed the T4 diet had the highest final body weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, thermal growth coefficient, feed intake, and the best feed conversion ratio. No significant differences in body chemical composition of fish were observed in terms of dry matter, crude protein, lipid, ash, and energy content among all treatments. Probiotic supplementation showed no noticeable differences on haematological and biochemical blood parameters, except for packed cell volume, albumin, albumin/globulin ratio, aspartate transaminase, glucose, uric acid, triglycerides, and cholesterol. Conclusively, Nile tilapia fingerlings diet supplemented with evaluated probiotic with an optimal dietary supplementation of 4 g/kg diet improved growth performance and fish health without a negative impact on water quality. This supplementation could therefore be used as a probiotic in Nile tilapia fingerlings diet.     

Effect of Dietary Inclusion of Ulva fasciata on Red Hybrid Tilapia Growth and Carcass Composition

Five different levels (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 g kg^?1) of algal (Ulva fasciata) meal were added to red tilapia feeds to examine its effect on growth and carcass biochemical content. Addition of ulva meal significantly improved growth performance, feed utilization, total crude protein content, and percentage of highly unsaturated fatty acids. Fish fed 75 g kg^?1 or 100 g kg^?1 of U. fasciata performed better than others.     

不同养殖模式对尼罗罗非鱼（Oreochromis niloticus）生长、免疫性能及水质的影响

为探讨循环水养殖模式(RAS组)和池塘养殖模式(池塘组)对尼罗罗非鱼生长、免疫性能及水质影响的变化规律,开展了为期8周的养殖试验。结果表明：(1)RAS组中鱼体增重率(WGR)(597.36±169.79)显著高于池塘组(470.98±142.99)(P < 0.05),但饲料转化率(FCE)(1.17±0.02)却显著低于池塘养殖系统(1.47±0.03)(P < 0.05)。特定生长率(SGR)和肥满度(CF)也高于池塘养殖系统,但差异不显著(P > 0.05);(2)在第4周和第8周分别测定了鱼体胃和肠中消化酶活性显示,第4周时,RAS组中肠蛋白酶活性值(1387.56±278.43)显著高于池塘组(1129.99±382.67)(P < 0.05);第8周时,肠脂肪酶活性(18.11±4.28)显著高于池塘组(12.89±8.00)(P < 0.05);(3)在第4周和第8周分别测定了鱼体肝胰脏、头肾和血清中碱性磷酸酶(ALP)、溶菌酶 (LSZ)和总超氧化物歧化酶(T-SOD)活性,显示整体上RAS组免疫性能低于池塘组;(4)每周测定水体氨态氮和亚硝态氮含量显示,RAS组氨态氮维持在0.0067 ~ 0.0212 mg / L区间内,亚硝态氮含量位于0.0027 ~ 0.0087 mg / L范围内,均低于池塘组。     

Incorporating Roasted Coffee Bean into Nile Tilapia Diets Does Not Improve Growth Performance

This study was conducted to use ground roasted coffee bean (GRC; Coffee arabia) as a feed supplement in diets for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Fish (1.9 ± 0.03 g) were fed diets containing 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, or 5.0 g GRC/kg in triplicate for 10 weeks. Final fish weight, weight gain, and specific growth rate were not significantly (P < 0.05) affected by GRC incorporation up to 1.0 g/kg, after which growth declined. Fish fed diets containing 2.0 and 5.0 g GRC/kg consumed less than the other treatments, giving the highest FCR (1.4 and 1.5, respectively). No significant differences were observed in fat efficiency ratio, protein efficiency ratio, and energy utilization for the 0.0–1.0 GRC/kg diets; lowest values of these parameters were obtained with the 2.0 and 5.0 g GRC/kg diets. Supplementation of GRC significantly reduced fish whole-body protein content and increased lipid and ash.     

Effect of Feeding Rate on Growth and Feed Conversion of Florida Red Tilapia Reared in Floating Marine Cages

An experiment was conducted to investigate growth, survival and feed conversion of Florida red tilapia reared in floating cages in seawater under different feeding regimens. Twenty-four cages (1 m³) were anchored in a sea pass on Great Exuma, Bahamas, and each was stocked with 300 juvenile, monosex males (10 g mean weight). Growth was monitored every 14 days for 84 days. Fish were fed daily a floating pelletized diet (32% protein) at 4 programed rates representing 50, 70, 90, and 110% of the estimated satiation rate, ad libitum , and by demand feeders, with each treatment comprised of 4 replicate cages.
Final mean weight was significantly lower for the 50% treatment (94.1 g) than for all other treatments (range = 121.8–155.7 g). Final mean biomass per cage ranged from 24.2 to 39.4 kg/m³, and survival ranged from 98.2 to 99.8%.
Mean specific growth rate was significantly lower under the 50% programed feeding treatment (2.42%/day) than for all other treatments (range = 3.15–3.56%/day) while feed conversion ratios (dry weight/wet weight) were significantly lower under the 50% (1.57) and 70% (1.68) programed feeding treatments than under all other treatments (range = 1.98–2.26). Thus, maximum growth was achieved at feeding rates near satiation while feed conversion was improved at lower feeding rates. Under demand feeding, growth and feed conversion were not significantly different than those of the ad libitum , 100%, and 90% treatments.     

The Use of American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) in Practical Diets for Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus): Growth Performance and Challenge with Aeromonas hydrophila

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of American ginseng (AG), Panax quinquefolium, on growth and resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Ginseng was included in practical test diets at rates of 0.0 (control), 0.50, 1.0, 2.0, or 5.0 g/kg diet. Fish (9.1 ± 0.3 g) were distributed into quadricated 100-L aquaria at a density of 20 fish per aquarium. Fish in all treatments were fed up to satiation twice daily for 8 weeks. After the feeding trial, fish of each treatment were intraperitoneally injected with pathogenic A. hydrophila and kept under observation for 10 days. Highest growth was obtained at 1.0 – 5.0 g AG/kg diet. The survival of fish challenged by A. hydrophila increased with increasing AG levels in fish diets. Cost-benefit analysis indicated that ginseng supplementation could reduce per kg costs by 15% with an optimum inclusion level of 2.0 g/kg.     

Influence of Dietary Lipid Sources on the Growth Performance,Immune Response and Resistance of Nile Tilapia,Oreochromis niloticus,to Streptococcus iniae Challenge

ABSTRACT

This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of dietary lipid sources on growth performance, body proximate composition, hematology, immune response and resistance of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, to Streptococcus iniae infection. Six isocaloric (3.2 kcal/g) and isonitrogenous (34% crude protein) semi-purified diets were supplemented with 7% of various sources of lipid, namely, corn oil (CO), beef tallow (BT), menhaden fish oil (FO), linseed oil (LO), and equal combinations of FO+CO+BT or LO+CO+BT. Diets were fed to tilapia in quadruplicate aquaria to apparent satiation, twice daily for 12 weeks. Fish fed the BT-diet exhibited significantly lowest weight gain, diet intake, feed and protein efficiency ratios, apparent protein utilization, and survival. Whole-body protein and ash were significantly (P < 0.05) lowest and highest, respectively, for fish fed the beef tallow-diet, but the values of these parameters did not differ among fish fed other diets. No significant differences (P > 0.05) were found among hematological values, except for fish fed the FO-diet which had abnormally high red and white blood cell counts. Serum protein concentration, lysozyme activity, and natural hemolytic complement activity were significantly (P < 0.05) reduced in fish fed the BT-diet. The values of these parameters did not differ among fish fed other diets. Post-challenge antibody titer was not influenced by dietary lipid sources. Cumulative mortality 15 days post-challenge with S. iniae was significantly lower (P < 0.05) for fish fed the BT diet compared with those fed FO or FO+CO+BT diets. No significant differences were observed in fish fed other dietary lipid sources.     

以色列红罗非鱼与其他罗非鱼群体杂交子一代在海水中生长性能分析

利用以色列红罗非鱼品系(Israel strain of red tilapia,R)、吉富品系(GIFT strain of Nile tilapia,J)(Oreochromis niloticus)、奥利亚罗非鱼(Blue tilapia,A)(O.aureus)、尼罗罗非鱼(Nile tilapia,N)(O.niloticus)等群体,构建了具有广泛遗传变异罗非鱼育种基础群体。采用人工定向交尾技术,获得了15个以色列红罗非鱼群体内和65个以色列红罗非鱼群体及其他群体间杂交全同胞家系。待家系平均体重5-8 g时进行标记,每个家系随机取样40尾标记个体放入养殖池中,采用逐渐提高盐度驯化至养殖盐度为28,养殖150 d后进行生长性能测试以及杂交和体重生长遗传参数分析。结果显示,在研究的所有群体内和群体间的交配组合中,以色列红罗非鱼品系(♀)与尼罗罗非鱼(♂)杂交的杂交组合(R×N)子一代生长速度最快,优于其他杂交组合,其平均体长、平均体重和绝对增重率分别为24.44 cm、385.23 g和4.94 g/d;ANOVA和LSD多重比较分析结果显示,杂交组合间在体长、体重指标上均达到差异极显著(P<0.01),R×N与除J×R杂交组合外的其他3个杂交和1个群体自繁组子一代两两间存在显著差异(P<0.05)。利用实验构建的80个家系共2496个个体体重数据,考虑家系标记时的平均体重、池塘、雌、雄等因子,建立了遗传参数分析模型,估计体重的遗传力为0.46±0.07,属于中等遗传力。因此,利用本研究收集的罗非鱼基础群体,开展罗非鱼在海水中生长性状选育,具有很大的遗传改良潜力。     

Effects of Dietary Probiotics on the Growth and Feeding Efficiency of Red Hybrid Tilapia,Oreochromis sp., and Subsequent Resistance to Streptococcus agalactiae

An eight-week trial was performed to evaluate three commercial/prototype probiotics supplemented in red hybrid tilapia, Oreochromis sp. diets. Triplicate groups of tilapia were measured for growth performance, feeding efficiencies, and whole-body composition. After the feeding trial, duplicate groups of tilapia were assessed for their resistance to Streptococcus agalactiae over 23 days. Six diets were supplemented with 0.1% or 0.3% PB₁ consisting of Bacillus subtilis, 0.1% or 0.3% PB₂ consisting of B. licheniformis or 0.1% MPB consisting of Bacillus sp. and Pediococcus sp. Probiotics had no effect (p > 0.05) on growth or feeding efficiencies, although whole-body crude protein was significantly higher in the PB₁ 0.3% treatment. Tilapia in the probiotic treatments had a higher resistance to S. agalactiae and, with the exception of the PB₂ 0.1% diet, were all significantly higher than the control treatment. Although the tested probiotics were not growth promoters, dietary B. subtilis was the most effective prophylactic against pathogenic bacteria.

Natural Food Selectivity Changes with Weights of Nile Tilapia,Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus), Reared in Fertilized Earthen Ponds

This work was carried out to study the relationship between fish weight and natural food selectivity of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus) reared in earthen ponds without supplementary diet and to guide the adaptation of feeding and fertilization strategies. Fish were stocked (1.5 fish/m²) in four fertilized earthen ponds (0.1 ha) for 6 months. Fifty fish were sampled monthly to estimate individual total weight and length and evaluate stomach contents. Fish specimens were categorized into different weight classes: <25 g, 25–50 g, 50–75 g, 75–100 g, and 100–125 g. Overall, the 50–75 g weight class had the highest degree of stomach fullness. The intestinal length-fish length ratio was similar across all fish weights, ranging from 2.9–3.4. Likewise, the composition of food items found in fish stomach was ranked as phytoplankton > detritus > zooplankton. Phytoplankton contribution to gut content increased with increasing fish weight, while detritus and zooplankton contribution decreased. Zooplankton never exceeded 1% of total stomach contents. Cyanobacteria, Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae and Euglenophyceae mostly represented the phytoplankton. Bacillariophyceae dominated the phytoplanktonic portion of stomach contents at small fish size (<75 g/fish), while Chlorophyceae is the dominant group at large fish size (> 75 g/fish). Fish could select Cyanobacteria and Euglenophyceae at all fish weights, meanwhile Chlorophyceae and Bacillariophyceae were eaten with slight selectivity at larger weights..     

Growth Performance of Improved (EXCEL) and a Non-Improved Strains of Oreochromis niloticus Fry in a Recirculating Tank System in the UAE

EXCEL is a new breed of O. niloticus developed by combining improved within family selection and rotational mating. A study was carried out to investigate early growth performance in an indoor recirculating aquaculture facility. The first study compared average body weight (ABW), average daily growth rate (ADGR), survival and food conversion efficiency (FCR) of first generation fry of imported EXCEL and non improved O. niloticus (NS) fry over an initial nursery stage from swim-up to 5.0 g (56 days, test 1) and a second nursery stage from ～3 to 15 g (28 days, test 2). ABW and ADGR of EXCEL fry was 4–5 times that of non improved tilapia during the first 56 days, which advantage was maintained over the second nursery stage also. In addition, FCR was lower in EXCEL compared with NS.     

Growth,Mortality, and Biochemical Composition in Octopus vulgaris Reared Under Different Conditions of Sex Ratio

Octopus vulgaris is a potential candidate to diversify marine aquaculture. Even though mortality under rearing conditions has been related to reproductive processes, the benefit of sex segregation remains unclear. In order to clarify this, wild octopuses (862 ± 101 g) were reared in floating cages under three proportions of male : female sex ratio: 1:1, 1:0, and 4:1 (n = 30 per treatment). The experimental period lasted 2 mo and octopuses were fed on bogue, Boops boops (aquaculture by‐product). Higher growth rates were observed in octopuses reared under 1:1 and 1:0 (1.8%/d) in comparison with those reared under 4:1 conditions (1.6%/d). Regarding sexes, a lower growth was detected in females reared under 4:1 (1.1%/d) in comparison with females (1.8%/d) and males (1.7–1.9%/d) reared under 1:1 conditions. Survival was 97, 97, and 90% in sex ratio 1:1, 1:0, and 4:1, respectively. Sexual maturity data showed that males were all mature, while most females were still maturing (60–84%) at the end of the rearing period. High lipid content in bogue (44% dw) did not reflect on octopus muscle. This tissue showed a similar biochemical composition irrespective of the sex ratio condition, with a high protein (87% dw), a low lipid (5% dw), and a high n‐3 HUFA content (42%).     

罗非鱼下脚料蛋白水解液对钝顶螺旋藻生长的影响

将罗非鱼下脚料蛋白水解液添加到Zarrouk培养基中对螺旋藻进行混合营养培养,研究罗非鱼下脚料蛋白水解液对螺旋藻的生物量、叶绿素、藻蓝蛋白含量及氮素代谢的影响.试验结果表明,添加0.5‰～5.0‰的罗非鱼下脚料蛋白水解液,均能增加螺旋藻的生物量与叶绿素含量,其中以添加3.0‰时增幅最大,分别比对照组增加了40.4‰与35.4‰,同时可明显提高硝酸还原酶活性,但对藻蓝蛋白含量影响不大.添加罗非鱼下脚料蛋白水解液对藻液体系的pH值有一定的缓冲作用.
