Understanding the behavior of Jacopever Sebastes schlegeli to visual stimulation is important and requires determination of visual sensitivity through the use of effective stimulation. In the present study, we measured the visual acuity, visual accommodation and spectral sensitivity of Jacopever. Visual acuity was calculated from the maximum cone density in the retina. In five specimens, the total length ranged from 17.6 to 24.5 cm and the calculated minimum resolving angles and visual acuities were 9.5–10.7 min and 0.09–0.11, respectively. Measurement of lens movement for visual accommodation indicated a mean distance and direction of movement of 0.31 mm and 16.0° in an upward and forward direction, respectively. The direction of accommodation and visual axis measured from the retinal area of maximum cone density were almost identical. The calculated focal distance was 0.74-fold the total length in the nearest point to infinity. We also determined the spectral sensitivity electrophysiologically by recording S-potentials from 45 specimens of total length of 15.4–47.5 cm. The S-potentials were recorded from 300 horizontal cells in the retina. All responses showed a similar spectral pattern, consisting of hyperpolarization in response to various wavelengths of stimulating light; the maximum amplitude of the response was recorded at 522 nm. 相似文献

SUMMARY: This paper evaluates the stocking effectiveness of masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou in Hokkaido, northern Japan, through a coast-wide two-stage sampling survey of commercial landings. From January to June 1994–1996, commercial landings of masu salmon at 33–36 fish markets were sampled at 7–10 days intervals, and 60 866–72 124 fish were examined for marks indicated by fin clips. Based on the survey data, numbers of total and hatchery-reared masu salmon landed were estimated. To examine the structure of the errors, stratification of fish markets was implemented on the basis of geography and magnitudes of landings, and the stratification improved accuracy and precision of the estimates. Accuracy of the estimated numbers of total fish was evaluated by being compared to the true numbers of masu salmon landings reported by fishermen's cooperative associations. Estimates of total masu salmon landings were within ± 10% of the true numbers. The estimated recovery rates (± SE) for hatchery-reared masu salmon smolts were variable ranging from 0.18 (± 0.06) to 3.50 (± 0.41)% among the stocked groups. An optimal sampling strategy was examined to obtain precise estimates for future studies. 相似文献

Abstract – To describe in detail the population genetic structure of masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou , seven anadromous populations in the Atsuta River were investigated by analysis of eight polymorphic microsatellite loci. Exact test and genetic differentiation ( F ST) revealed that significant differentiation was observed at the within-river scale. Principal components analysis revealed that the spatial pattern of genetic composition was related to geographical location of each population. Furthermore, a significant correlation was observed between genetic differentiation and geographical distance, indicating that dispersal is less likely to occur between distant populations. The results of this study imply that masu salmon have potential to show clear genetic structure at the microgeographical scale (21 km) due to precise homing behaviour. 相似文献

Abstract – To examine whether or not sex-specific growth occurs in fry of masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou , 90 half-sibling fry chosen from three different classes of egg size (small, medium and large) and emergence time (period from fertilisation to first feeding; early, middle and late) were raised in a tank for 60 days. In all four replications, male fry grew faster than females. The difference in growth between sexes was greater among siblings hatched from larger eggs. Fast-growing, young male masu salmon show a precocious form that tends to mature without migrating to sea. Slower growing males tend to show the anadromous form, which is only shown in females. Sex-specific life histories may influence the sex-specific growth patterns during early life history. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Dominance, aggression and predator avoidance were compared among farmed, sea-ranched and wild juvenile masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou in laboratory experiments. Domesticated fish (farmed and sea-ranched), which had been exposed to artificial selection, were not dominant against wild fish in pairwise contests, nor did they show greater aggressiveness. Farmed fish did show greater feeding than wild fish. Under chemically simulated predation risk, farmed fish were more willing to leave cover and feed than wild fish, indicating reduced predator avoidance in the farmed fish. Our results indicate that selection for fast growth (domestication) in masu salmon favors fish that respond to food quickly and ignore predation risk. 相似文献

Densities of wild masu salmon, Oncorhynchus masou Brevoort, were investigated before (late-September) and after (mid-November) autumnal habitat shifts in a small river in Hokkaido, northern Japan. Abundance of instream cover habitat formed by coarse woody debris, submerged vegetation and undercut banks was quantified. Density of 1+ and older masu salmon was significantly correlated with cover abundance in autumn, although cover was not significant for density of 0+ fish, indicating that clear-cut reaches were utilized by 0+ masu salmon in autumn. In early winter, densities of 0+ and 1+ and older masu salmon were both correlated with cover availability. These results suggest that the amount of cover habitat is an important regulator for densities of juvenile masu salmon during winter. 相似文献

The possible recovery of a white-spotted charr population in a small tributary of a river to Lake Biwa, following removal of previously stocked red-spotted masu salmon, was investigated by electrofishing. We captured 30 red-spotted masu salmon and two hybrids of these two species in 2014. Prior to the stocking of red-spotted masu salmon, the estimated number of white-spotted charr?≥?100 mm standard length (SL) in the tributary was more than 200 individuals in 2005, which had reduced to fewer than 30 individuals by 2014 when 30 red-spotted masu salmon plus two charr/masu salmon hybrids were captured. However, no red-spotted masu salmon were captured from 2015 to 2017, indicating the success of a red-spotted masu salmon removal program. The estimated number of white-spotted charr?≥?100 mm SL ranged from 25 to 91 individuals between 2015 and 2017, implying a great reduction of red-spotted masu. The estimated population size of the former increased further to 171–221 individuals in 2021, comparable to 2005. These results suggest that the white-spotted charr population declined due to stocking of red-spotted masu salmon, and recovered following removal of the latter. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: In this study, the visual acuity, visual accommodation, and spectral sensitivity of the elkhorn sculpin were determined. The elkhorn sculpin Alcichthys alcicornis is a typical groundfish that has conspicuously large eyes. They are caught by bottom gillnets, trawl nets, bottom line angling, and other fishing methods. Although fish behavior arising from visual stimuli is important in these fishing methods, there is little information available regarding the visual sensitivity of the elkhorn sculpin . Three specimens, with total lengths of 300–310 mm, were studied. Visual acuity was calculated, from the maximum cone density in the retina, to be between 0.10 and 0.14. The minimum separable angles were calculated to be 7.14–10.37 min. Measurement of lens movement in five specimens indicated that the near-point distance was between 0.87 and 1.53 times the total length. Lens direction was estimated to be 11–22° in the downward visual axis. Spectral sensitivity was also determined electrophysiologically by recording S-potentials. Three types of response were obtained from 21 specimens, including L responses that showed hyperpolarization at all wavelengths of stimulating light, and two C responses that showed wavelength-dependent hyperpolarization and depolarization. Based on these results, the elkhorn sculpin has color vision and its sensitivity is most acute in light with a wavelength of 554 nm. 相似文献

Abstract – We examined whether mortality and growth during the migration phase (the lacustrine phase after smolting) differ between sexes in migratory (lake-run) masu salmon ( Oncorhynchus masou ) in a lacustrine population, northern Hokkaido, Japan. The sex ratio of 1+ smolts was more skewed to females than that of the returning adults in three annual cohorts examined, indicating that females have a higher mortality rate during the migration phase. Although there was no difference in smolt length between sexes, female adults were larger in body length than males of the same age: female-biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD) occurs. We suppose that breeding selection favouring a larger body size for females than for males in this population probably requires that females undertake more intensive foraging behaviour with its greater inherent risks but faster growth rates during the migration phase. It therefore seems to be likely that the selection is the ultimate cause of the female-biased mortality rate and SSD. 相似文献

The largemouth bass is a sight feeder and one of the most popular freshwater fish for lure fishing. While lures a have variety of colors and forms, there is no information on the color vision and form perception in the largemouth bass. We recorded S-potentials from the isolate retinae of the largemouth bass to examine color vision electrophysiologically. The occurrence of the C-response provided direct evidence for the possession of color vision. L-responses recorded indicated a high spectral sensitivity to red. The direction and distance of lens movement of a specimen of 43 cm in fork length indicated a horizontal visual axis and the near point at 13.5 cm, respectively. The visual acuity calculated from the cone density and the focal distance of the lens was 0.10. Histological characteristics of the retina indicated that the eyes are well adapted to both form and movement perceptions. 相似文献

Identification of masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou masou and amago salmon O. m. ishikawae was accomplished using a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. Of 80 primers screened, three primers amplified
subspecies-specific fragments ( OPA11-1095
*, OPB5-1618 * and OPD5-2038
*). Based on fragment patterns, 33 hybrids were detected among 150 upstream-migrating individuals in the Jinzu River, central
Japan, a long-time habitat of masu salmon, to which amago salmon were recently introduced. All of the individuals examined
in the 2000–2002 cohorts were identified as F
1 and F
x as well as pure masu and amago forms. These results indicated continuing hybridization, the genetic pollution of the native
masu salmon population by amago salmon possibly being a serious problem in the Jinzu River. Both standard length and body
weight in F
1 hybrids tended to be less than in pure masu salmon. However, F
x hybrids showed similar body sizes to masu salmon. 相似文献

在水温12.1~13.9°C下和直径80 cm、高60 cm,水深40 cm的圆形选育缸中研究了不同光照强度(1200lx、600 lx和300 lx)对平均体质量为10.10±0.8g的山女鳟(Oncorhynchus masou masou)幼鱼生长和存活的影响。结果表明,光照强度显著影响山女鳟幼鱼特定生长率(SGR)、肥满度(CF)和变异系数(CV)(P<0.01),高光照强度组SGR和CF值显著高于两个低光照强度组,而CV值则是高光照强度组显著低于两个低光照强度组;高光照强度组摄食率(FI)明显高于两个低光照强度组。实验表明,适度增强光照强度有利于山女鳟幼鱼的生长,这对于优化山女鳟幼鱼培育条件具有指导意义。 相似文献

Two anaesthetics, clove oil and methane sulphonate (MS-222), were examined for their effects on the olfactory nerve response of masu salmon ( Oncorhynchus masou Brevoort) and rainbow trout ( O. mykiss Walbaum). Exposing both species to clove oil for 3 min at concentrations of 50 and 100 mg L −1, or for 10 min at 50 mg L −1, did not significantly reduce their olfactory response. Directly applying clove oil anaesthesia to the olfactory epithelium significantly reduced olfactory response though after 20 min, olfactory response recovered to 70% and 52% of pre-treatment levels in masu salmon and rainbow trout respectively. Compared with the post-anaesthetic recovery of responses after clove oil (50 mg L −1), buffered MS-222 (100 mg L −1) with NaHCO 3 (100 mg L −1), and unbuffered MS-222 (100 mg L −1) treatment for 3 min, the response after MS-222 treatment declined gradually and significantly, but not after clove oil and MS-222+NaHCO 3 treatments. Clove oil appears to be an effective and relatively safe anaesthetic for salmonids with little long-term impact on their olfactory response, which plays a crucial role in their life history. 相似文献

Using mark-recapture methods, the movements of the fluvial form of masu salmon ( Oncorhynchus masou masou) in a mountain stream on the island of Kyushu, Japan, were studied. Most (78%) of the masu salmon were recaptured in the
pool in which they had been originally caught and tagged. Of those that moved between pools, the proportion of individuals
that moved during the breeding period was not significantly higher than the proportion that moved during the non-breeding
period. However, during the breeding period, a higher proportion of larger salmon moved than did smaller fish. The proportion
of mobile large males during breeding period was higher than that for small males. Also, it was found that a few individuals
showed long-range movement in the autumn. As a long-term movement, 78 individual fish (65%) that were recaptured more than
three times showed high sedentary tendencies. Sixteen individual mobile fish (13%) moved and returned to the original pool.
Fluvial form of masu salmon in Kyushu show a high sedentary nature; however, large mature males seem to actively move in search
of female during breeding period. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Ten sibship masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou masou families were produced to estimate the heritability of the number of abdominal vertebrae (AV) and caudal vertebrae (CV), and the genetic correlation between the two traits were calculated. The AV and CV of both the parents and their offspring were counted separately, and the heritability was estimated by performing parent–offspring regression analysis. The mean vertebral number of the offspring differed among families although they were reared under identical water temperature conditions and had the same parental vertebral number type in crossbreeding. The heritabilities were estimated as 0.65 for AV and 0.84 for CV. The genetic correlation between the number of AV and CV was calculated as −0.92. These results suggest that AV and CV are governed by genetic components even when the fish are reared under identical environmental conditions, and the total vertebral number is expected to converge within a certain range. It is necessary to analyze separately the variations in the number of AV and CV when investigating the vertebral number in masu salmon. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to investigate functional changes of the kidney in mature masu salmon. The urine flow rate (UFR), kidney-somatic index (KSI), and epithelial cell height of second proximal convoluted segment of renal tubules were examined in mature and immature masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou . Two methods of calculating UFR were made as either the units per body weight, or body weight without gonads. The former calculation using body weight may be used for comparison between data obtained from immature fish, and the latter method was suitable when comparing mature sexes and assessing the transition from immature to finally mature stages. In both calculations of UFR, KSI, and epithelial cell height of the second proximal segment, the values for mature fish were significantly higher than for immature fish. These results first suggest that functional transition of the kidney occurs in maturing fish. 相似文献

SUMMARY: The relationship between mean weights of hatchery-reared masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou smolts at release and the subsequent recovery rates by coastal commercial fisheries in Hokkaido, northern Japan, was investigated using the maximum likelihood method. A strongly positive correlation was observed, showing smolts with a mean of 32.6 g obtained an approximately 20-fold recovery rate of those with a mean of 14.8 g. The model with log-transformed independent variable ( Y i = –11.237 + 4.239 ln X i ) was selected as the most parsimonious model to represent the release size ( X i ) and recovery rate ( Y i ) relationship. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: The visual acuity, visual axis and visual accommodation of pointhead flounder, slime flounder, and red halibut were determined to obtain basic knowledge for developing appropriate fishing gear and fishing methods for sustainable fisheries. Each of these species has a different ecotype in terms of habitat, depth and prey species. Thus, it was hypothesized that they may differ in terms of visual acuity, visual axis and visual accommodation. Few studies have compared these characters in flatfishes from different ecotypes. We used histological methods to determine visual acuity (i.e. cone cell density) and visual axis (i.e. cone cell distribution) in each of these species. The maximum visual acuity was 0.127 in pointhead flounder (total length, TL 344 mm), 0.092 in slime flounder (TL 372 mm) and 0.109 in red halibut (TL 336 mm). Based on the cone cell distribution in the retina, the visual axis was upward and forward in pointhead flounder, forward and downward in slime flounder, and downward in red halibut. Finally, the mean angle of lens movement was −2° in pointhead flounder, −13° in slime flounder and −32° in red halibut. This measurement of lens movement indicated that the average near-point distance was 0.87 × TL in pointhead flounder, 0.65 × TL in slime flounder and 1.02 × TL in red halibut. At similar TL (336–355 mm), the visual acuity of these species differs depending on the direction in which they are looking. 相似文献

Changes in serum thyroxine (T 4), estradiol-17β (E 2) and testosterone (T) levels during the parr-smolt transformation (smoltification) were investigated in the masu salmon ( Oncorhynchus masou) in 1985 and 1987. T 4 showed a peak in levels at the early stage of smoltification and E 2 and T levels peaked almost at the same time. There were no significant differences between the concentrations of serum hormones
in female and males. During smoltification, germ cells in the peri-nucleolus and spermatogonia stage were present in the ovary
and testis, respectively. These results suggest that E 2 and T may be involved in smoltification in the masu salmon. 相似文献

We focused on developing an epidemic prevention method for circulating masu salmon aquaculture using the probiotic Lactococcus lactis strain K-C2. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of strain K-C2 against pathogens isolated from dead Yamame and masu salmon. First, we identified pathogenic bacteria that were isolated from dead masu salmon based on phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence and biological and biochemical characterization. The antibacterial activity of strain K-C2 against seven pathogenic strains isolated from dead masu salmon in this study and two strains of Aeromonas salmonicida previously isolated from dead Yamame was tested using a double agar plate method. The results of a BLAST search using 16S rRNA partial sequence data (1200–1300 bp) revealed that six of the former strains and one of the latter strains showed high similarity to Vibrio anguillarum and Tenacibaculum maritimum, respectively. Strain K-C2 showed antibacterial activity against all pathogenic bacteria. In this study, pathogenic bacteria were newly isolated from dead seawater-acclimated masu salmon, and strain K-C2 was found to have antibacterial effects against these pathogens. 相似文献
