Pathogenicity of Edwardsiella tarda to olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck & Schlegel)

The LD50 and cytotoxic and enzymatic activities of both cells and extracellular products (ECPs) of eight Edwardsiella tarda strains were determined and their bacterial superoxide dismutase gene (sodB) and catalase gene (katB) were sequenced. Strains were also examined for their ability to resist the immune responses of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. LD50 values of strains (FSW910410, KE1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) in olive flounder ranged between 10(2.5) and 10(5.3) cfu (colony forming units) per fish. Unlike the avirulent strain SU100 (LD50>or=10(7)), all pathogenic strains were able to survive in flounder serum and head kidney leucocytes (except for KE2). The virulent strains possessed type I sodB and katB, whereas SU100 had type II sodB but not katB. However, there was no difference between avirulent and virulent strains in haemolytic and cytotoxic activities. The results of this study demonstrated that the ability of E. tarda to resist complement activity and phagocytosis is conferred by its superoxide dismutase and catalase, which thus play an essential role in the pathogenicity of this bacterium. In addition genotyping of sodB and kat B proved to be a very useful tool to distinguish virulent from avirulent strains.

Cytological studies on induced meiogynogenesis in Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck et Schlegel)

The cytological process of induced gynogenetic development and subsequent chromosome duplication by a cold shock treatment was observed in Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck et Schlegel). Mature eggs were at the metaphase of the second meiosis when inseminated with ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated sperm of red sea bream Pagrus major . After the beginning of cold shock treatment, the previously visible spindle became invisible, probably due to the side effect caused by cold shock treatment. The chromosomes at the centre of the metaphase plate were condensed. This condition continued during the duration of the cold shock treatment and several minutes after it. The release of the second polar body was blocked and it developed into a female-like pronucleus. Then, it fused with the female pronucleus to generate a diploid zygotic nucleus, and the egg exhibited the first mitosis. Consequently, the haploid female chromosome set of the egg was doubled by the inhibition of the second polar body release. There was a significant delay in developmental time in the gynogenetic eggs when compared with that in the normal eggs. From the time of insemination to early cleavage, the UV-irradiated heterospecific sperm nucleus remained condensed.

牙鲆NOD2基因的表达分析及在抗迟缓爱德华氏菌感染过程中的功能

本研究利用实验室已建牙鲆(Paralichthys olivaceus)转录组数据库预测得到牙鲆NOD2基因(PoNOD2),并利用PCR技术进行序列验证。同时,设计迟缓爱德华氏菌注射感染牙鲆成鱼和体外免疫刺激牙鲆鳃细胞系实验,探究PoNOD2基因在抗菌免疫反应中的作用。PoNOD2基因的开放阅读框长度为2964 bp,编码988个氨基酸。PoNOD2蛋白有3种保守结构域,包括C-末端LRR,中心NACHT和N-末端CARD结构域。实时荧光定量PCR结果显示,在所检测牙鲆组织中,迟缓爱德华氏菌的侵染能显著上调PoNOD2的表达。体外免疫刺激牙鲆鳃细胞系实验显示,在PGN、PolyⅠ:C和迟缓爱德华氏菌刺激下,PoNOD2表达上调。亚细胞定位显示,PoNOD2蛋白定位于牙鲆鳃细胞的细胞质中。在迟缓爱德华氏菌侵染牙鲆鳃细胞过程中,PoNOD2基因的过表达能够抑制细菌生长,并引起IL-1β、IL-6和IL-8等炎性细胞因子的表达上调。结果表明,PoNOD2在抑制迟缓爱德华氏菌生长以及调节牙鲆对病原菌的免疫应答中发挥重要作用。     

牙鲆rnd1基因克隆、表达模式及与抗病力的关系

迟缓爱德华氏菌病是海水鲆鲽鱼类的主要病害,发掘抗病分子标记辅助育种是十分有效的策略。本研究以牙鲆(Paralichthys olivaceus) rnd1基因(Pornd1)为对象,对该基因在牙鲆抗病免疫方面的作用进行系统分析。首先对Pornd1基因进行克隆鉴定和抗病相关单核苷酸多态性位点的定位,然后利用荧光定量PCR (qRT-PCR)对Pornd1基因的组织分布、细菌感染后表达情况以及在抗病和易感家系中的表达水平进行检测。结果显示,Pornd1 c DNA开放阅读框为699 bp,编码232个氨基酸。结合前期GWAS分析数据,本研究对Pornd1基因扩增和测序,确定Pornd1基因内含子2上存在一个抗迟缓爱德华氏菌病相关单核苷酸多态性位点,该位点在易感家系和抗病家系中分别是C/T,抗病家系(freqT=0.92)高于易感家系(freqT=0.20),具有显著性差异(P<0.05)。Pornd1在心、肝和肾中的相对表达量较高;迟缓爱德华氏菌感染后肝、肾和脾中Pornd1的表达量在6 h降低后逐渐升高,在48 h达到最高。Pornd1在抗病家系肝脏中的表达量显著高于易感家系。在蛋...

以初始体质量为(3.01±0.04)g的牙鲆(Paralichthys olivaceus)为实验对象,进行为期70 d的摄食生长实验。共配制5种等氮等能饲料,其中以鱼粉和豆粕为蛋白源(豆粕蛋白替代45%的鱼粉蛋白)配制出基础饲料,分别在基础饲料中添加0.0%、0.5%、1.0%和1.5%的复合诱食剂配制成4种豆粕取代饲料,同时以全鱼粉饲料为对照饲料,研究复合诱食剂对牙鲆摄食生长的影响。结果表明,当豆粕取代饲料中诱食剂添加量为1.0%时,牙鲆的摄食率(P<0.05)、饲料效率(P<0.05)、鱼体脂肪含量(P<0.01)以及肝脏、肠胰蛋白酶活力和肠氨肽酶活力(P<0.01)显著高于不添加诱食剂组;当豆粕取代饲料中诱食剂的添加量为0.0%和0.5%时,牙鲆的特定生长率显著低于全鱼粉组(P<0.05);而当添加量为1.0%和1.5%时,牙鲆的特定生长率与全鱼粉组比较没有出现显著差异(P>0.05)。结论认为,当以豆粕蛋白替代45%的鱼粉蛋白时,添加1.0%的复合诱食剂能够显著提高牙鲆幼鱼对饲料的摄食率和生长率。     

牙鲜幼鱼能量代谢的初步研究

对个体重２．５～８７．６ｇ的牙鲆幼鱼的代谢进行测试。结果表明：温度和体重对牙鲆幼鱼的耗氧率及二氧化碳排出率有明显的影响;牙鲆幼鱼的呼吸商为０．８２±０．０８,氧氮比为２３．８±６．６,其能源物质以蛋白质和脂肪为主;牙鲆在盐度为３０、２５、２０和１５的水中,平均代谢率分别为３．０８、３．０７、３．８７和３．２８Ｊ／ｇ·ｈ,说明牙鲆幼鱼适盐较广,在本实验盐度阈值内,对鱼体代谢基本没影响。     

Effect of phenanthrene on haematological parameters in olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminch et Schlegel)

Effects of phenanthrene on haematological parameters in olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, were studied by exposing fish to water‐borne phenanthrene (0.5, 1 and 2 μM) for 4 weeks. Red blood cell count, haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit levels decreased with increasing exposure time of phenanthrene to the fish. Plasma potassium level increased significantly in the experimental group but the levels of sodium and chloride were significantly decreased compared with control. There was no significant change in plasma magnesium, calcium and phosphate in fish of all treated groups compared with the control. The most profound physiological disturbance in phenanthrene‐exposed fish was a decrease in blood osmolality. Malondialdehyde level in the plasma in the phenanthrene group (2 μM) was 1.4‐fold higher following 4‐week exposure compared with the control group. Acetylcholinesterase activity decreased as the concentration of phenanthrene increased, reaching 65.9% of the control value at the highest dose at the 4th week. A key finding from this study is that olive flounder exposed to phenanthrene at concentrations more than 1.0 μM are likely to experience negative impacts on haematological parameters.     

抗迟缓爱德华氏菌病牙鲆家系的筛选与分析

牙鲆(Paralichthys olivaceus)养殖病害日益严重,迟缓爱德华氏菌(Edwardsiella tarda)是牙鲆养殖中的主要致病菌,带来了极大的经济损失,为了培育出对该病抵抗能力强的牙鲆新品种,2014年4–6月间,利用我们长期以来建立和筛选出来的牙鲆抗病群体和家系的亲鱼,通过杂交,自交,雌核发育建立47个家系,9–10月间,对其中39个家系进行感染实验,先用少量鱼进行预实验摸索出半致死浓度,然后再进行正式感染实验,感染数量为每个家系80尾。各家系的存活率范围为1.19%~51.19%,最终平均存活率为20.29%,认为存活率高于30%的7个家系为抗病力强家系,存活率在20.29%~30%的9个家系为抗病力一般家系,平均存活率以下的23个家系为抗病力弱家系。1406#家系抗病力最强,它为1005#家系的自交后代,而其他抗病力强家系也大多是1005#、09104#、0915#的后代。而09104#为0768#的后代,并且0768#抗鳗弧菌病能力强。1005#为韩国群体自交后代,0915#为韩国群体和日本群体杂交后代。这些抗病力强的牙鲆可以作为新品系进行推广养殖,可望减少牙鲆腹水病发生。     

Optimum dietary protein level for maximum growth of juvenile olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck et Schlegel)

This experiment was conducted to determine the optimum dietary protein level for juvenile olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck et Schlegel) fed a white fish meal and casein‐based diets for 8 weeks. Olive flounder with an initial body weight of 4.1 ± 0.02 g (mean ± SD) were fed one of the six isocaloric diets containing 35%, 45%, 50%, 55% and 65% crude protein (CP) at a feeding rate of 4–5% of wet body weight on a dry‐matter basis to triplicate groups of 20 fish per aquarium. After 8 weeks of feeding, per cent weight gain (WG) and feed efficiency ratios of fish fed the 55% CP diet were not significantly higher than those from fish fed the 50% and 65% CP diets, but significantly higher than those from fish fed the 35% and 45% CP diets. Fish fed the 50%, 55% and 65% CP diets had significant higher specific growth rates than did fish fed the 35% and 45% CP diets; however, there was no significant difference among fish fed the 50%, 55% and 65% CP diets. The protein efficiency ratio was inversely related to the dietary protein level; that is, maximum efficiency occurred at the lowest dietary protein level. Broken‐line model analysis indicated that the optimum dietary protein level was 51.2 ± 1.8% for maximum weight gain in juvenile olive flounder. The second‐order polynomial regression analysis showed that the maximum WG occurred at 57.7% and it revealed that the minimum range of protein requirement was between 44.2% and 46.4%. These findings suggest that the optimum dietary protein level for maximum growth could be greater than 46.4%, but less than 51.2% CP in fish meal and casein‐based diets containing 17.0 kJ g^?1 energy for juvenile olive flounder.

Energy budget of the Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck & Schlegel) larvae fed HUFA-enriched and non-enriched Artemia nauplii

The energy budget of the Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck & Schlegel) larvae fed enriched (EA) and non‐enriched (NEA) Artemia nauplii was determined by equating energy intake (EI) with the summation of energy channelled to faeces (F), metabolism (M), excretion (U) and growth (G). Larvae (21 days post hatching, 2.2 mg mean wet wt) were reared in six 80‐L circular tanks with three replicates of 160 larvae per tank and fed EA and NEA for 20 days. EI was calculated from the energy content of consumed nauplii, M from the summation of energy for routine, feeding and active metabolisms, U from ammonia excretion and G from energy gained based on weight gain, while F was the difference between EI and the total of other components. The heat increment of larvae was calculated from the difference of O₂ consumption at post‐prandial and routine conditions. Except for G and F, variables were correlated to the dry body weight (W) of larvae in a power function: Y=aW^b. Coefficients a and b were estimated by regression after a logarithmic transformation of the raw data. Overall, growth and survival rates of the larvae fed EA were higher than those fed NEA. For a larval flounder growing from 2 to 20 mg wet wt, the ingested energy was partitioned as follows: 22.8% to faecal loss, 38.3% to metabolism, 1.5% to urinary loss and 37.4% to growth for the EA group, whereas 35.4% to faecal loss, 28.4% to metabolism, 1.3% to urinary loss and 34.9% to growth for the NEA group. Gross conversion and assimilation efficiencies were higher, but the net conversion efficiency was lower in EA‐fed larvae than NEA‐fed larvae. This study suggests that the higher growth and survival rates of the EA‐fed group compared with the NEA‐fed group were attributed to their higher intake of essential fatty acids, higher metabolism and lower energy loss of faeces.

Effects of dissolved oxygen concentration and stocking density on the growth,energy budget and body composition of juvenile Japanese flounder,Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck et Schlegel)

An energetic method was used to investigate the effects of stocking density and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration on the growth of juvenile Paralichthys olivaceus. Fish, with initial weights of 14±2.1 g, were exposed to a normal and a high DO of 5.5±0.5 and 14±2 mg L^?1, as well as four stocking densities per DO concentration (100, 200, 300 and 400 ind m^?2 for the normal DO and 200, 400, 600 and 800 ind m^?2 for the high DO). The feed efficiency (FE_W) decreased significantly with increasing stocking density and increased significantly with increasing DO concentration. The maximum weight was achieved at 400 ind m^?2 under a high DO depending on our rearing conditions. The stocking density and DO concentration change energy ingestion and its allocation for respiration, growth and excretion lost in nitrogen excretion, but do not affect the energy loss through faeces. The results of the body composition of fish indicated that the stocking density and DO concentration had no significant effects on the moisture, lipid content and gross energy, but are affected by the same. Energetic analysis demonstrated that high DO concentrations could alleviate the growth depression caused by high stocking densities, decrease energy loss in respiration and nitrogen excretion and increase the energy proportion allocated to growth.     

牙鲆半乳糖凝集素6基因的克隆、表达及功能研究

半乳糖凝集素6 (Galectin-6)是β-半乳糖苷结合凝集素家族的成员之一。本研究首次分离并鉴定了牙鲆(Paralichthys olivaceus) Galectin-6 (PoGalectin-6),分析了其分子特征和表达模式,并对其免疫相关功能进行了研究。PoGalectin-6基因的开放阅读框长为1089 bp,共编码362个氨基酸,其中包含2个糖识别结构域(CRDs)。同源序列比对和系统进化树分析显示,PoGalectin-6与大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus) Galectin-4的相似性为80.9%。组织分布结果显示,PoGalectin-6基因主要在肠组织中特异性表达。迟缓爱德华氏菌(Edwardsiella tarda)感染后,PoGalectin-6基因在肠组织中的表达显著升高,感染后12 h表达量最高,随后逐渐降低并恢复至正常水平。细菌结合实验证实,PoGalectin-6重组蛋白(rPoGalectin-6)能够结合枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)、蜡样芽孢杆菌(Bacillus cereus)、杀鲑气单胞菌(Aeromonas salmonicida)、迟缓爱德华氏菌和创伤弧菌(Vibrio vulnificus),但并不结合短小芽孢杆菌(Bacillus pumilus)。此外,rPoGalectin-6以钙离子依赖的方式对短小芽孢杆菌、枯草芽孢杆菌、杀鲑气单胞菌和迟缓爱德华氏菌表现出明显的凝集作用。研究表明,PoGalectin-6基因参与了由迟缓爱德华氏菌感染引起的免疫应答,这一发现为探索Galectin-6在硬骨鱼类中的免疫功能奠定了基础。     

温度对牙鲆皮肤黏液抗体产生的影响

在9℃、15℃、21℃和26℃4种不同水温下,用淋巴囊肿病毒(LCDV)灭活疫苗腹腔注射牙鲆,应用间接酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)研究了其皮肤黏液中特异性抗体水平的变化,以分析温度对牙鲆皮肤黏液抗体产生的影响.ELISA结果表明,9℃和15℃水温下牙鲆黏液OD值分别在注射LCDV后第9周和第7周达到峰值(9℃:OD=0.179; 15℃:OD=0.233); 21℃水温下OD值上升最快,5周达到峰值(0.316); 26℃水温下OD值较21℃无显著差异,也于5周达到峰值(0.295).采用硫酸铵分步盐析等技术粗提不同温度下OD值最高时的牙鲆皮肤黏液中的免疫球蛋白(Ig),SDS-PAGE检测发现,各温度组黏液蛋白中均含有72 kD和26 kD蛋白条带.Western blotting结果显示,抗牙鲆血清Ig重链的单克隆抗体只与黏液蛋白中72 kD条带发生反应,确定为牙鲆皮肤黏液Ig重链.综上结果表明,牙鲆在最适生活温度(21℃)下,抗体应答强度最大.牙鲆粗提黏液蛋白中Ig的初步确定,为探索牙鲆黏液免疫机制提供了材料.     

Infection dynamics of Neoheterobothrium hirame (Monogenea) on juvenile olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck & Schlegel), in coastal waters of Japan

A recent epidemic of the invasive monogenean Neoheterobothrium hirame is suspected to have caused the significant decline of the commercial catch of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, in Japan. To clarify the causal link between parasite invasion and host depletion, we monitored the infections of N. hirame on juvenile flounder for 2 years at two widely separate bays, Obama Bay, experiencing a devastating reduction in flounder catches, and Miyako Bay with a stable catch. Prevalence, mean intensity and abundance of developmental stages of N. hirame were compared between the bays and between fish year classes. Fishes captured at Obama Bay harboured three times more worms than those at Miyako Bay and had a significantly higher overall prevalence of infection. In addition, there was a negative correlation between parasite intensity and host condition factor at Obama Bay, suggesting a causal link between the N. hirame epidemic and the reduction of local flounder populations.
