Effects of dietary vitamin C on growth,antioxidant activity,and immunity in ricefield eel (Monopterus albus)

A 10-week feeding trial aimed to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin C (l -ascorbic acid) on growth, antioxidant activity, and immunity in ricefield eel, Monopterus albus. Six diets were formulated with different levels of vitamin C supplementation (0.1, 17.5, 34.8, 68.6, 139.7, and 278.5 mg/kg). The results indicated that the weight gain (WG) of the M. albus fed the diets with vitamin C was remarkably higher than that of the M. albus fed the control diet (p < .05), and the quadratic analysis showed an optimal vitamin C level of 80.66 mg/kg. Compared with the control group, serum lysozyme activities, the complement pathway, red blood cell counts, white blood cell counts, immunoglobulin M, and phagocytosis percentage were significantly increased (p < .05) in the treatment groups, and superoxide dismutase activity, serum glucose, and malondialdehyde content were significantly decreased (p < .05) in the treatment groups. The challenge trial with Aeromonas hydrophila showed that the M. albus fed the diets with vitamin C had remarkably reduced cumulative mortality compared with those fed the control diet (p < .05), and mortality in the 68.60 mg/kg diet group was the lowest. Based on WG, the optimal vitamin C supplementation level for M. albus was estimated to be 80.66 mg/kg.     

黄鳝的网箱养殖技术

１　鳝种的来源与选择鳝种的来源有二个,一是在每年的４～１０月在稻田和浅水沟渠中用鳝笼捕捉。二是从市场上采购。无论是自捕还是购买,都以笼捕为好,钩捕或电捕的鳝种因体内有伤,成活率极低,即使不死,生长也极其缓慢,故一定要挑选无病无伤的鳝种放养。黄鳝依其体色一般可分为三种,一种是体色黄色并夹杂有大斑点,增肉倍数为１∶５～６,生长较快,以此作养殖品种较佳。第二种为体表青黄色,第三种体灰色且斑点细密,后二种生长速度缓慢,增肉倍数为１∶１～３,故不宜人工养殖。２　网箱设置网箱面积以２０ｍ２左右为佳,网宽４ｍ…     

Scp3 expression in relation to the ovarian differentiation in the protogynous hermaphroditic ricefield eel <Emphasis Type="Italic">Monopterus albus</Emphasis>

Synaptonemal complex protein 3 (Scp3), which is encoded by scp3, is a meiotic marker commonly used to trace the timing of gonadal differentiation in vertebrates. In the present study, the ricefield eel scp3 cDNA was cloned, and a fragment encoding amino acids 49 to 244 was overexpressed. The recombinant Scp3 polypeptide was purified and used to generate a rabbit anti-Scp3 polyclonal antiserum. In adult ricefield eels, scp3 mRNA was predominantly detected in the gonads and faintly detected in discrete brain areas. In the gonads, Scp3 immunoreactivities were shown to be localized to the germ cells, including meiotic primary growth oocytes, spermatocytes, and pre-meiotic spermatogonia. During early ovarian differentiation, immunoreactive Scp3 was not detected in the gonads of ricefield eels at 6 days post-hatching (dph) but was found to be abundantly localized in the cytoplasm of some oogonia at 7 dph, coinciding with the appearance of the ovarian cavity and ovarian differentiation. At 14 dph, strong Scp3 immunostaining was detected on one side of the nucleus with a distinct polarity in some germ cells, presumably at the leptotene stage. Consistent with these results, the expression of scp3 mRNA was faintly detected in the gonads of ricefield eels at 6 dph, increased at 8 dph, and then remained relatively high thereafter. Taken together, these results suggest that the appearance of immunoreactive Scp3 in oogonia could be a marker for early ovarian differentiation in ricefield eels. The translocation of the Scp3 protein from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in the oogonium of ricefield eels appears to be a controlled process that warrants further study.

Effects of salinity on osmoregulation,growth and survival in Asian swamp eel (Monopterus albus) (Zuiew 1793)

The Asian swamp eel Monopterus albus is normally considered a freshwater species, but can also occasionally be found in brackish water. It is an obligate air‐breather with highly reduced gills, making its osmoregulation physiology interesting because the gills normally represent the primary site of osmoregulation in teleosts. Being a popular fish for human consumption, the swamp eel is cultured extensively in freshwater ponds in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. However, very little is known about its salinity tolerance, which is becoming topical due to the increasing salt‐water intrusions into tropical deltas. We therefore studied how increased salinity affects survival, growth, blood pressure, heart rate, blood osmolality and plasma ions. All eels survived prolonged exposure to 5 and 10 g L^?1, although plasma osmolality increased significantly at 10 g L^?1. Further elevation to 15 and 20 g L^?1 was associated with significantly elevated mortality, with a corresponding increase in plasma osmolality and ion con‐centrations. Our results show that swamp eels thrive in 0–10 g L^?1 with an optimum growth between 0 and 9 g L^?1, indicating that utilization of low saline brackish waters for aquaculture is possible.

Identification of a gonad-expression differential gene insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (Igf1r) in the swamp eel (Monopterus albus)

In vertebrate species, the biopotential embryonic gonad differentiation is affected by many key genes and key steroidogenic enzymes. Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (Igf1r) has been considered as an important sex-differentiation gene in mammals and could mediate the biological action of Igf1, an important regulator of key steroidogenic enzymes. However, Igf1r gene is still unknown in the swamp eel, an economically important fish. In our study, we identified Igf1r gene in the swamp eel, which was a 2,148-bp open-reading frame encoding a protein of 716 amino acids. The alignment and the phylogenetic tree showed that Igf1r of the swamp eel had a conservative sequence with other vertebrates, especial fishes. Western blotting of Igf1r showed that Igf1r expressed much more in ovotestis and testis than in ovary, indicating an important role of Igf1r during gonad differentiation. We analyzed ubiquitination of Igf1r by co-immunoprecipitation and found the amount of ubiquitinated Igf1r was increased from ovary, ovotestis to testis, which was reversely to the trend of Hsp10 expression during gonadal transformation. It was possible that Hsp10 could suppress Igf1r ubiquitination during gonadal development of the swamp eel.

Aeromonas veronii caused disease and pathological changes in Asian swamp eel Monopterus albus

More and more diseases were occurred in the aquaculture of Asian swamp eel. Bacterial isolates were collected from the pathogenic organs of diseased Asian swamp eels. A dominant strain, Aeromonas veronii JL‐01, was isolated and identified from the liver and intestine tissue of diseased Asian swamp eels. The symptoms of fish infected artificially with A. veronii were the same as those observed under natural infection. The mortality rate was 40%–80% and infected Asian swamp eels died 2–3 days after infection. Drug sensitivity tests showed that the isolated bacterium was highly sensitive to seven kinds of antibiotics, including cephalosporins, aminoglycoside, quinolones, tetracyclines (except Tetracycline), pheniclos, nitrofurans and sulfonamides. The bacterium was resistant to penicillins (except Piperacillin), macrolides, polypeptides and lincomycin. The histological changes in Asian Swamp Eel induced by A. veronii infection mainly occurred in the liver, intestines and kidney. A. veronii showed strong pathogenicity towards the Asian swamp eel, causing tissue damage and death. Gentamycin, doxycycline and sulfamethoxazole could be used for preventing and treat this disease.

Studies on the artificial propagation of Monopterus albus (Zuiew)

Artificial propagation of Monopterus albus (Zuiew) was conducted during their spawning season in the present study. Different doses of luteinizing-hormone-releasing-hormone analogue (LHRH-A) were tested for inducing the ovulation of brood females. No significant difference was found in the degree-hours and fertilization rates between three different doses (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 μg LHRH-A g^-1 fish). A fertilization solution of 0.3% NaCl produced significantly higher fertilization rates than the other three solutions (0.5% NaCl, 0.65% NaCl and water). Fertilization times ranging from 5 to 2 0 min gave no significant difference in the fertilization rates. The embryonic and larval development of M. albus was observed and illustrated. The hatching time of eggs of M. albus was about 140 h in the 28-3 0^oC water temperature range. Using Tubifex spp. for the first food for the larval nursery gave higher growth rate than two other foods, zooplankton and artificial food.     

Effect of dietary lipid on growth,body composition,serum biochemistry and hepatic metabolite alteration in Chinese rice field eel (Monopterus albus) fingerlings

Five isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets containing dietary lipid concentrations from 71.90 to 142.70 g/kg were formulated and fed to Chinese rice field eel Monopterus albus fingerlings (5.00 ± 0.50 g). The highest values of weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), together with the lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) were found in fish fed with 89.10 g/kg lipid diet. Fish fed with 71.90 g/kg diet (F1) had higher hepatosomatic index, viscerosomatic index and whole‐body crude lipid than fish in the other four treatments (p < .05). Plasma concentration of triacylglycerol and the activity of alanine aminotransferase were also higher in fish fed with F1 diet. Whole‐body fatty acid profile varied exclusively, but with a stable value of n?3/n?6 ratio. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry‐based metabolomics identified eighteen differential metabolites (including idose, alanine, glutamic acid, serine and hypotaurine) in liver affected by dietary lipid content using PLS‐DA analysis. The subsequent pathway enrichment revealed ten affected pathways, with the top three pathways being glycine, serine and threonine metabolism; starch and sucrose metabolism; and D‐glutamine and D‐glutamate metabolism. The broken‐line model of SGR suggested that a dietary lipid concentration of 83.50 g/kg was appropriate for M. albus fingerlings.
