三峡库区神农溪不同时期溶解氧与叶绿素a垂向分布特征

为探究三峡库区支流垂向水环境的分布特征及其影响因素,采用2018年2月（高水位期）和7月（汛期）对三峡水库典型一级支流——神农溪回水区水质监测数据,分析和对比了神农溪不同季节的溶解氧和叶绿素a等指标垂向分布特征,讨论了影响其垂向分布的环境因子。结果表明,神农溪高水位期与汛期的溶解氧含量在0~12 m和0~6 m水体分层现象明显,其表层水体的溶解氧饱和度(SDO)分别为104.04%和171.96%,已经达到过度饱和状态（SDO>100%）;中层水体溶解氧浓度存在分层现象,底层水体溶解氧浓度较稳定,无分层现象。高水位期与汛期的叶绿素a含量在0~10 m水体分层现象明显,表层水体的叶绿素a浓度整体上表现为中度富营养化（5 μg/L相似文献   

三峡水库小江回水区叶绿素a与环境因子的时空变化

2013年1-12月在小江水华暴发的敏感区域高阳断面开展了水文、营养盐、叶绿素a等指标长期、定点监测,分析库湾水体叶绿素a及环境因子的时空变化特征及其相互关系。结果表明,高阳断面水体在1月、10-12月处于混合状态,3-8月则处于弱分层到稳定分层状态。水体处于混合状态时,各层营养盐浓度变化不显著,处于分层状态时,则呈现较显著差异;时间分布上,冬季氮磷营养盐浓度(TN:1.52~1.74 mg/L,TP:0.092~0.095 mg/L)略高于夏季(TN:1.16~1.56 mg/L,TP:0.037~0.085 mg/L),干流水体倒灌作用对其影响显著。叶绿素a浓度呈现夏季高、冬季低的趋势,水体分层对叶绿素a垂向分布影响显著;当水体处于分层状态时,表层叶绿素a浓度(18.56~92.23 mg/m~3)明显高于中、底层(2.54~21.56 mg/m~3)。营养盐为小江高阳叶绿素a变化的限制因素,各层水体叶绿素a浓度与硝氮和可溶性磷酸盐呈显著负相关。表层水体叶绿素a与环境因子相关性较强,叶绿素a与营养盐、溶解氧、透明度、水温、表底温差等呈极显著相关(P0.01);中层叶绿素a与营养盐、水温、透明度、水深、水体稳定系数等呈极显著相关(P0.01),表明水体扰动是影响中层水体叶绿素a增长的关键因素之一;底层水体叶绿素a与硝氮(P0.01)、磷酸盐(P0.05)、水深(P0.05)呈极显著或显著相关。     

乌溪江水库富营养化程度及其影响因子时空分布探讨

为了解乌溪江水库主要水质指标的时空分布特征,探究其营养化程度的变化趋势,2019-2020年,对丽水市乌溪江水库的7个采样点（S1-S7）的水温、pH、总氮、总磷、叶绿素a等理化因子进行了监测。分析对比了综合营养指数和理化因子等关键指标在不同时期的分布特征。结果表明,乌溪江水库的营养盐浓度呈现出春夏高秋冬低、从上游（S1）至下游（S7）逐渐下降的趋势,平均综合营养指数也从47.1（S1）下降到32.5（S7）,整体上属于中营养化水库。总磷浓度在0.002-0.040mg/L间,平均值为0.012mg/L;总氮浓度在0.412-2.826mg/L间,氮的主要赋存形式为硝酸盐。叶绿素a含量均值为3.77 ug/L,河流区的叶绿素a含量显著高于下游的过渡区和湖泊区。分析表明：汛期地表径流带来的富营养化压力最大,同时也是氮磷等外源性营养盐输入水体的主要途径;WD、pH、TP和叶绿素a含量中等程度相关,水库生态系统具备很强的净化能力。但近年来富营养化程度加剧。     

杭州地区17座水库浮游植物群落组成及其与环境因子的关系

于2008年和2009年的丰水期(8月)和枯水期(12月)分别对杭州地区17座大中型水库进行采样调查。结果表明,浮游植物有85种,其中绿藻最多,有29种,硅藻26种,蓝藻15种,裸藻6种,隐藻、甲藻和金藻各3种。各水库浮游植物年均密度为1.27×106~6.55×106个/L,最高密度为12.20×106个/L,最低密度为0.168×106个/L。叶绿素a浓度年均值为2.86~28.35μg/L,最高浓度为33.60μg/L,最低浓度为1.36μg/L;丰水期浮游植物密度和叶绿素a浓度高于枯水期。多数水库丰水期优势种为蓝藻,枯水期优势种为硅藻;各水库间浮游植物密度无显著差异,但叶绿素a浓度差异显著。从营养状态指数(TLI)、浮游植物密度及叶绿素a浓度等综合分析,杭州地区17座大中型水库基本处于中营养-轻度富营养状态。对浮游植物群落组成及动态与环境因子之间的关系进行典范对应分析(CCA),发现营养盐和透明度对浮游植物的增长起到关键作用。     

香溪河库湾不同季节叶绿素a浓度影响因子分析

研究叶绿素a浓度与环境因子之间的相关关系,为香溪河水质预警、水华防治等水环境保护工作提供科学依据。监测点为香溪河库湾XX06站点,2015年每日1次定点采样,监测指标为氮磷营养盐、叶绿素a浓度、水温、溶解氧、pH、浊度、混合层深度、真光层深度、表底温差、水位及流量等。使用SPSS20.0对环境因子指标和叶绿素a进行person相关性分析。叶绿素a浓度季节性变化显著,夏季最高、春秋季次之、冬季最低,全年平均值为14.38μg/L,变化范围为0.36~108.00μg/L。总氮、总磷和叶绿素a的浓度水平均指示香溪河水体处于富营养化状态。叶绿素a浓度春季与水温、pH、混合层深度正相关,与浊度、总氮、真光层深度负相关;夏季与水温、pH、滞留时间、混合层深度正相关,与总氮负相关;秋季与水温、混合层深度正相关,与浊度、真光层深度负相关;冬季与各环境因子具有一定的相关性,但相关性不显著。     

三峡水库试验性蓄水后小江沿岸水质研究

根据2010年3月－12月对三峡水库小江沿岸水体的水质监测数据,分析总氮、总磷、化学需氧量和叶绿素a等水质因子的时空变化规律,以及叶绿素a与水质因子之间的相互关系,评价水体富营养化水平。结果表明：总氮、总磷、化学需氧量和叶绿素 a含量分别为1.980±0.119mg/L、0.114±0.018mg/L、9.520±1.748 mg/L和23.342±8.810 mg/L,小江沿岸水体呈现中度富营养化水平。叶绿素a与水质因子间的相关关系分析发现,叶绿素a含量与温度、pH、溶解氧、亚硝酸氮和化学需氧量显著相关,与总氮、总磷不具有显著相关性。这说明小江沿岸水体叶绿素a含量与总营养盐无关,而主要与水体所含的有机质含量有关。

Rare serotype occurrence and PFGE genotypic diversity of Streptococcus agalactiae isolated from tilapia in China

Previously, we reported 10 PEGE types of 85 tilapia Streptococcus agalactiae(GBS), which shifted from Streptococcus iniae in China, by using PEGE method. Presently, larger and more representative tilapia GBS were isolated, for the ?rst time in China, to characterize their serotypes and genetic diversities more precisely than had done before. 168 GBS strains were distributed in ?ve provinces of China, in which Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan were the major ones, holding36.9%(62/168), 37.5%(63/168) and 19.6%(33/168), respectively. Serotypes, Ia, Ib and III, were observed in these strains and the most predominant one was Ia(95.2%), which mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan. Ia initially occurred in 2009, it shoot up to 32.1% in 2010,but decreased to 16.1% in 2011 before went up to 45.2% in 2012. Ib sporadically occurred during2007–2011, III onlyoccurred in 2012. 14 different PFGE types, including 4 new types(N, O,P and Q), were observed, in which B, D, F and G were the predominant types, holding 83.9%(141/168) of the total GBS strains. Ia corresponded to 11 PFGE types(A–H, N–P), in which type D predominated(51%). Ib represented 3 genotypes(I, J and Q) and III harbored only 2genotypes(N and F). Type N and Fsynchronously presented in Ia and III. In summary, the genetic diversity of tilapia GBS varied by serotypes and changed with geographical locations and years.Although Iastillpredominated, new rareserotypeIII alreadyoccurred in China.     

Growth hormone (GH) and reproduction: a review

Interaction between growth and reproduction occurs in many vertebrates and is particularly obvious at certain stages of the life cycle in fish. Endocrine interactions between the gonadotropic axis and the somatotropic axis are described, the potential role of GH being emphasised. A comparative analysis of these phenomena in mammals, amphibians and fish, suggests a specific role of GH in the physiology of puberty, gametogenesis and fertility. It also shows the original contribution made by studies on the fish model in this field of investigations.     

Purification and partial characterization of GtHs (cfLH and cfFSH) from Indian walking catfish (Clarias batrachus) (L.) and development of a homologous ELISA for cfLH

Two gonadotropins (GtH; Qa and Qb) were purified by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography from the pituitaries of Indian walking catfish (Clarias batrachus). The presence of GtH during purification was assessed by in vitro oocyte maturation and in vivo steroidogenic activity, and their identities were determined by elution profiles, molecular weight, biological activities and yield. The molecular weights of Qa and Qb were 37 and 42 kDa, respectively, and composed of distinct subunits (Qa: 20 and 14 kDa and Qb: 26 and 18 kDa). Polyclonal antibodies raised against Qa immunostained Qa, Qb and pituitary GtH cells. A competitive Qa‐ELISA was developed whose sensitivity was 6.25 ng mL^?1 (1.25 ng well^?1) with intra‐ (3.5%) and inter‐ (12.4%) assay coefficients of variation. Displacement curves parallel to the standard were obtained with plasma and pituitary extracts of catfish, Qb and carp GtHII. The assay was validated by measuring the plasma Qa levels after LHRH treatment and in relation to ovarian growth in the female catfish during different reproductive phases. Based on the results, Qa and Qb corresponded to fish LH and FSH respectively. The findings will increase the knowledge of the mechanisms controlling fish reproduction and identification of sensitive phases in fish in captivity for hormonal manipulation.     

Controlled infection of Poecilia reticulata Peters (guppy) with Tetrahymena by immersion and intraperitoneal injection

Tetrahymena is a protozoan parasite, which infects guppy, Poecilia reticulata Peters, and causes substantial economical losses in commercial farms worldwide. Studies of guppy infected by Tetrahymena require standardized infection protocols. The LD50 for Tetrahymena infection of guppies by intraperitoneal (IP) injection was calibrated, and the level obtained was 946 parasites per fish. Guppy infection with Tetrahymena by immersion, imitating the natural route of infection via the integument, was studied under normal or stress conditions. Exposure to cold and netting (CNI) and to cold only (CI) followed by immersion exposure to 10 000 Tetrahymena per mL resulted in 22.5% and 19.2% mortality, respectively, as compared to 14.2% and 10% in groups that were netted only (NI) or non‐stressed (I). Histopathology revealed that immersion infection resulted in a systemic infection. Lysozyme levels, measured 3 weeks after infection, were significantly higher in the CNI group (288 μg per mg protein) compared with CI‐, NI‐ and I‐treated groups (94.5, 64 and 62.3 μg mg^?1, respectively). There was no evident parasite immobilization activity in body homogenates, suggesting no development of acquired immunity. Re‐infection by IP injection revealed no increase in protection in any of the treatment groups, mortality range of 56.3–75%, higher than in the non‐exposed control (40.6% mortality).     

Evaluation of a Fast Method Based on the Presence of Two Restriction Sites in the Mitochondrial ND5 (mt ND5) Gene for the Identification of Scomber Species

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the suitability of a method based on the presence of two restriction sites (for Hae III and Hindf I) in the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (mt ND5) gene to identify Scomber species. The evaluation was performed on 144 reference and market samples by sequencing of the entire 505-bp fragment of the mt ND5 gene and of a 464-bp fragment of the Kocher fragment of the cytochrome b gene (mt Cytb). Sequence analysis of any of the two fragments allows the identification of each of the four Scomber species, but S. japonicus and S. colias had the same restriction sites at the ND5 amplicon and would not have been differentiated by this analysis. Similarly, loss of the Hae III site in some S. scombrus individuals would have misidentified them as not being Scomber. All the market products were correctly labeled except one acquired in Spain labeled as originating in the Atlantic and containing S. japonicus.     

Nitrogenous waste excretion and accumulation of urea and ammonia inChalcalburnus tarichi (Cyprinidae), endemic to the extremely alkaline Lake Van (Eastern Turkey)

The endemic, anadromous cyprinidChalcalburnus tarichi is the only fish species known to occur in alkaline Lake Van (Eastern Anatolia, Turkey). EightC. tarichi were maintained individually in Lake Van water (17 – 19°C; pH 9.8; 153 mEq·I^–1 total alkalinity; 22 total salinity) and tank water samples analyzed for 24 h in 2 to 4 h intervals. At zero time, < 1µM ammonia was present and urea was undetectable in the tank water; at 24 h, total ammonia and urea made up 114±32 and 35±25µM, respectively. Over the experimental period, ammonia-N and urea-N excretion averaged 1041±494 and 607±169moles·kg^–1 fish·h^–1, respectively. The extent of urea excretion was highly variable between specimens. Uric acid excretion was not detectable.Urea was present at high concentrations in all tissues and plasma (25 – 35moles·g^–1·ml^–1) of freshly caughtC. tarichi; total ammonia content of the tissues was by a factor of 1.9 (liver) to 3.0 (brain) lower. High arginase activity (2.4±0.2 U·min^–1·g^–1) was detected in the liver ofC. tarichi but ornithine carbamoylphosphate transferase, a key enzyme of the ornithine-urea-cycle, was absent. Ureagenesis is likely through degradation of arginine and/or uricolysis. High glutamine synthetase activity (11±0.6 U·min^–1·g^–1) and low ammonia content in brain suggest that, like other teleosts,C. tarichi has an efficient ammonia detoxification in the brain, but in no other tissue.Nitrogenous waste excretion at alkaline pH is discussed. The ability ofC. tarichi to excrete high levels of ammonia at extremely alkaline pH is unique among teleosts studied so far. The mechanism of ammonia excretion under Lake Van conditions remains to be elucidated.     

Imported ornamental fish are colonized with antibiotic‐resistant bacteria

There has been growing concern about the overuse of antibiotics in the ornamental fish industry and its possible effect on the increasing drug resistance in both commensal and pathogenic organisms in these fish. The aim of this study was to carry out an assessment of the diversity of bacteria, including pathogens, in ornamental fish species imported into North America and to assess their antibiotic resistance. Kidney samples were collected from 32 freshwater ornamental fish of various species, which arrived to an importing facility in Portland, Oregon from Colombia, Singapore and Florida. Sixty‐four unique bacterial colonies were isolated and identified by PCR using bacterial 16S primers and DNA sequencing. Multiple isolates were identified as bacteria with potential to cause disease in both fish and humans. The antibiotic resistance profile of each isolate was performed for nine different antibiotics. Among them, cefotaxime (16% resistance among isolates) was the antibiotic associated with more activity, while the least active was tetracycline (77% resistant). Knowing information about the diversity of bacteria in imported ornamental fish, as well as the resistance profiles for the bacteria will be useful in more effectively treating clinical infected fish, and also potential zoonoses in the future.     

Effect of iodophor disinfection of non‐hardened Salmo trutta eggs on their bacterial and fungus load

This study investigated the efficiency of iodophor disinfection (135 ppm active iodine for 15–30 min) of non‐hardened Salmo trutta eggs against different groups of bacteria and against fungus. Egg samples were taken from non‐disinfected and from disinfected eggs, microorganisms were cultured on specific nutrient media and their mass was measured by turbidimetric methods. Bacteria and fungus mass of non‐hardened eggs could be reduced but not eliminated by iodophor disinfection with 135 ppm active iodine for 15 min. The extent of reduction was 47–65% (Experiment 1). The efficiency of disinfection increased with disinfection time as the reduction in bacteria and fungus mass was 40–55% after 15 min and 58–74% after 30 min (Experiment 2). Disinfection efficiency of iodophor solution diluted in water (reduction 49–57%) and of iodophor solution diluted in sodium chloride solution iso‐osmolar to the oocytes (reduction 52–61%) was similar (Experiment 3). The reduction in bacteria and fungus mass was persistent as it was 39–72% lower in embryos deriving from disinfected eggs than in embryos deriving from non‐disinfected ones (Experiment 4). In conclusion, the tested disinfection method is inadequate to eliminate pathogens completely but it could positively influence immune defence of eggs and embryos.
