Partial substitution of dietary fish meal with soybean meal for speckled shrimp,Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricius, 1798) (Decapoda: Penaeidae) juvenile

A 63‐day feeding study was conducted to evaluate the effect of partial substitution (0%, 20%, 40% and 60%) of dietary fish meal (FM) with soybean meal (SBM) on the growth performance and feed utilization of speckled shrimp, Metapenaeus monoceros juveniles. A total of 180 M. monoceros juveniles with an average weight of 0.67 ± 0.18 g were equally distributed over 12 glass aquaria (30 L each, triplicate per treatment). All aquaria were filled with filtered sea water (30–35 ‰, salinity). Four isonitrogenous (400 g kg^?1 crude protein) and isocaloric (20.5 MJ GE kg^?1) test diets were formulated. The control diet contained FM (D₁) as the main protein source. In the other diets, FM was partially replaced with 20 (D₂), 40% (D₃) or 60% (D₄) SBM. The results indicate that the diet in which 40% of the FM is replaced by SBM yields similar growth and production, and is as cost effective, as the control diet.

Effect of biofloc technology on growth of speckled shrimp,Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricus) in different feeding regimes

The effects of biofloc technology (BFT) were tested on growth performance, water quality, haemolymph parameters and hepatopancreas histology with and without BFT for the speckled shrimp. In this study, eight different experimental groups were formed (four BFT and four control groups) to measure the effects of different feeding rates on compensatory growth of speckled shrimp. BFT treatments were performed with zero water exchange and planned as BFT1: gradually feed decreasing group 4, 2 and 1% bw, BFT2: 4% bw, BFT3: 2‐days feed with 4% bw, 1‐day fasted, and BFT4: 1‐day feed with 4% bw, 1‐day fasted. In control treatment, the same trial groups were constituted for comparing with BFT at a 50% daily water exchange: C1 (gradually feed decreasing group: 4%, 2% and 1% bw), C2 (4% bw), C3 (2‐days feed with 4% bw, 1‐day fasted), C4 (1‐day feed with 4% bw, 1‐day fasted). There were significant differences between BFT and C groups in terms of some water quality (p < 0.05). In general, BFT had an effect on haemocyte profile. At the histological examination, there were no pathological findings in both BFT and control groups. The growth parameters of speckled shrimps in BFT groups, as well as the whole body crude protein ratios and crude ash contents, were higher than the control group (p < 0.05). The results confirmed that biofloc utilization increased with decreasing feeding.

Osmoregulation,growth and moulting cycles of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) at different salinities

The giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, is a species with a high commercial value in aquaculture. Two experiments were performed to determine the effects of salinities on the osmoregulation, growth and molting cycles of M. rosenbergii during growout. The first experiment was designed to determine whether these animals are capable of adapting to the changes in salinity seen in salinity intrusions in tropical deltas, with an incremental increase in salinity of 3‰ per day from 0‰ to 30‰ Haemolymph osmolality was rapidly regulated up to salinities of 15‰ , whereas animals conformed at higher salinities. The second experiment determined the growth, moulting cycle, osmolality, muscle water content and mortality during a 4‐month experiment at 0‰, 15‰ or 25‰ salinity. The weight gains in 0‰ and 15‰ were not significantly different and were comparable to the growth rates achieved in production farms with body mass increases of 2.6 and 2.3‐fold their initial body mass, respectively, after 4 months. The 25‰ group suffered from low growth, high mortality and a significantly lower moulting frequency. These data show that this species can be reared in brackish water up to 15‰, allowing for farming in the large areas impacted by salt water intrusions in tropical deltas.     

Comparative growth performances of diploid and triploid Chinese shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis (Osbeck, 1765) under different salinities

This study aimed at evaluating the ploidy effects on growth performances of Chinese shrimp ( Fenneropenaeus chinensis Osbeck, 1765) reared in different salinities under laboratory conditions. In the acute salinity experiment, there was no difference ( P >0.05) in tolerance observed in triploid and diploid shrimp due to abrupt salinity changes. The lethal salinity for 50% of the individuals in 96 h at 23–25 °C was about 2 g L⁻¹ in both triploids and diploids. While for the chronic salinity experiment, statistical analyses confirmed that the differences in growth performances including the specific growth rate (SGR), the feeding rate (FR), feed conversion efficiency (FCE) and intermoult period (IP) between triploid and diploid were related to salinity. Diploid shrimp reared in 20 g L⁻¹ exhibited highest SGR ( P <0.05), while triploids performed well in 20 and 30 g L⁻¹ salinities ( P <0.05). Based on the survival and growth data, the optimal salinity for the culture of diploid F. chinensis should be 20 g L⁻¹ and for triploids it should be between 20 and 30 g L⁻¹.     

盐度对草鱼生长和肌肉品质的影响

为考察盐度对草鱼生长和肌肉品质的影响,设置盐度为0(对照组),5.0、7.5、10.0的4个水平,饲养平均体重为(725±42) g的草鱼30 d,测定草鱼生长性能、肌肉营养成分和肌肉物理性能指标。结果表明,在0、5.0、7.5盐度中草鱼生长良好,成活率均为100%,增重率为27.6%、28.3%、26.4%,但在盐度为10.0的水体中,草鱼成活率和增重率均极显著降低（P<0.01）,仅为60%、4.5%, 而饲料系数显著上升（P<0.01）;在肌肉基本营养成分方面,盐度为0,5.0,7.5各组草鱼肌肉水分、粗蛋白、灰分含量无显著差异,但盐度为10的草鱼组肌肉水分含量显著增加,粗蛋白含量降低。经过不同盐度水体暂养后,草鱼肌肉中脂肪含量显著减少（P<0.01）,胶原蛋白含量增加,肌纤维耐折力提高,肌纤维直径减小,而盐度对肌肉失水率的影响则呈现不同的特点,其中5.0、10.0盐度使肌肉失水率显著上升（P<0.01）,而7.5盐度则使肌肉失水率显著下降（P<0.01）。上述结果表明,半咸水暂养草鱼可改善其肌肉品质,适宜的盐度值为7.5。表4参28     

Protein requirements of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry cultured at different salinities

Effect of isolipidic (62.7 ± 5.0 g kg^?1) diets with protein levels of 204.6 (T20), 302.3 (T30), 424.6 (T40) or 511.0 g kg^?1 (T50) on growth and survival in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus 1758) fry cultured for 70 days at one of four salinities (0, 15, 20 and 25 g L^?1) was evaluated. A bifactorial (4 × 4) design was used with 16 treatments run in triplicate and 20 fry (0.25 ± 0.04 g) per replicate under semi‐controlled conditions. Four independent, recirculating systems (one per salinity level) were used, each one with 12 circular tanks (70 L capacity), filters and constant aeration. The different salinities had no significant effect on growth. Weight gain improved significantly as dietary protein content increased, although organisms fed the T50 diet had a lower growth rate. Survival was highest (98.33%) in the T50/15 (protein/salinity levels) treatment and lowest (71.0%) in the T20/20 treatment, with no pattern caused by the variables. The T40/25, T40/20 and T50/0 treatments produced the most efficient growth and feed utilization values while the T20 treatments at all the salinities resulted with the lowest performance. With the exception of the T50 treatments, a non‐significant tendency to increased weight gain was observed as water salinity increased, suggesting that the salinity of the culture environment does not influence dietary protein requirements in Nile tilapia O. niloticus fry.

Larval survival,development and growth in the horsehair crab,Erimacrus isenbeckii,cultured under different photoperiod conditions

Larval sinking causes larval mass mortality during seed production in the horsehair crab, Erimacrus isenbeckii. Under normal light conditions, horsehair crab larvae generally show negative phototactic behaviour and sink in their rearing seawater. It has been proposed that culturing larvae in the dark may prevent larval sinking. Herein, we examined the effect of photoperiods on horsehair crab larval survival and development to facilitate the development of larval rearing techniques that prevent sinking. Newly hatched larvae were reared with Artemia to the first crab stage in 2‐L beakers under five photoperiods: 0L:24D, 6L:18D, 12L:12D, 18L:6D and 24L:0D. Larvae survived and molted to the first crab stage under all tested photoperiod conditions. The survival rate improved with increasing light period, whereas the developmental period for each larval stage decreased with increasing light period. Longer light periods increased the carapace length at the first crab stage. Our results suggest that larvae could be cultured to the first crab stage in large‐scale tanks under constant darkness. However, significantly improved larval performance under longer photoperiodic conditions indicates a need for developing alternative culture techniques to control larval behaviour in the seed production tank.     

Effects of different salinity and temperatures on the growth,survival, haematocrit and blood biochemistry of Goldfish (Carassius auratus)

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of different salinities (0‰, 6‰ and 12‰) and temperatures (23, 27 and 31 °C) on the food consumption, growth, blood biochemistry and haematocrit of Goldfish. After 45 days of exposure to different salinities and temperatures, Goldfish showed a good adaptation to these salinities and temperatures in terms of blood biochemistry (glucose and triglyceride) and haematocrit. Salinities (0‰ and 6‰) and temperatures (23 and 27 °C) did not affect the weight gain, specific growth rate, final biomass and feed conversion rates, but these parameters were significant (P<0.05) at 12‰ salinity and 31 °C temperature. Plasma total protein levels decreased with the increase in salinity (P<0.05), while they were independent of temperature. In conclusion, Carassius auratus, a freshwater stenohaline fish, showed good growth in saline waters with maximum 12‰ salinity and 31 °C temperature.     

延迟投饵对卵形鲳鲹早期仔鱼阶段摄食、成活及生长的影响

利用人工繁殖产生的卵形鲳鲹（Trachinotus ovatus）初孵仔鱼,在水温(26.81.4) ℃、盐度28.20.8条件下,对延迟投饵0~6 d的卵形鲳鲹仔鱼的摄食、生长及其成活情况进行了研究。结果显示,仔鱼于3日龄开口,于开口的当天投饵及延迟投饵1、2、3、4和5 d,投饵后2 h内仔鱼的摄食率分别为15%、30%、50%、25%、15%和5%,每尾鱼的平均摄食量分别为0.4、0.6、1.3、0.6、0.3和0.1个轮虫。延迟投饵6 d一组仔鱼的摄食率均为0。延迟投饵0、1和2 d各组仔鱼的成活率相差不大,但延迟3 d以上仔鱼的存活率急剧下降。卵形鲳鲹仔鱼的初次摄食饥饿不可逆点（PNR）出现在仔鱼开口后4 d,开始投喂饵料的最佳时期应在仔鱼开口后的3 d之内。     

Larval growth of turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (L.) produced with fresh and cryopreserved sperm

The present paper assesses the fertilization and hatching rates, as well as the growth, of larvae obtained from four artificial fertilizations (AF) using fresh and cryopreserved sperm of the turbot Scophthalmus maximus (L.). Larvae growth in both sperm groups, measured in terms of length and weight at culture days 0, 7, 14 and 31, are compared, as well as their growth rates. The two groups' fertilization and hatching rates were not significantly different. Likewise, no significant differences in length and wet weight of 7‐ and 14‐day‐old larvae were found using fresh and cryopreserved sperm; however, significant differences were found in 31‐day‐old larvae, which were more attributable to the variability inherent in larval turbot culture, and to variability in the reproductive specimens used in our study, than to the type of sperm employed. These results indicate that the type of sperm used in artificial fertilization, i.e. fresh or cryopreserved, is not a determining factor, either for fertilization and hatching, or for subsequent larval development. Our results also confirm once again the high quality of cryopreserved turbot sperm, and its usefulness in commercial hatcheries.     

Growth,development and survival of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) larvae cultured under different light spectra and intensities

We assessed the effects of light intensity and spectrum on the growth, development and survival of Dicentrarchus labrax larvae from 30 to 96 days after hatching. Twelve lighting regimes were applied using 0.3, 1 and 2 W/m² full spectrum white, blue, red and green light. By day 66 of exposure, growth performance was significantly better in larvae reared under green or red light compared with white or blue light (p < 0.05), while it was significantly better at 2.0 W/m² compared with 1.0 or 0.3 W/m² (p < 0.05). Larvae reared under white or blue light had significantly more deformities (p < 0.05) than did larvae reared under light of other spectra, while larvae reared under 0.3 W/m² light intensity had a significantly higher proportion of jaw malformations than reared under 1.0 and 2.0 W/m² (p ? 0.05). Dicentrarchus labrax larvae subjected to green light showed significantly lower survival compared with the other light spectra (p < 0.05). Moreover, light significantly affected brain aanat1a, aanatt1b, mellc, mt1, mt2, gh, tsh and crf mRNA expression. Therefore, the red and green light groups (or under 2.0 W/m²) could improve the growth performance and enhance secretion of melatonin, gh and tsh, and reduce the proportion of jaw malformations.     

Influence of water salinity on the survival of embryos and growth of the sichel larvae Pelecus cultratus (L.) under controlled conditions

The purpose of this study was to analyse the influence of water salinity on the incubation of eggs and growth of the larvae of sichel Pelecus cultratus (L.) under controlled conditions. The following water salinity was considered: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 0 ppt for the control. The eggs incubation time depended on the water salinity, lasting from 56.3°D [9 ppt] to 107.7°D [0 ppt]. The higher water salinity, shorter the incubation time. The highest survivability of larvae was obtained in water of the salinity equal 3 ppt and in freshwater, where respectively 87% and 84% of the larvae survived. No hatched larvae were obtained in water of the salinity of 12 and 15 ppt, as all embryos died during the experiment. Larvae were reared up for 21 days. The final body weight, depending on the water salinity, reached from 43.5 mg [9 ppt] to 74.6 mg [3 ppt], at the respective body lengths of 19.3 mm and 23.2 mm. The highest body gains and lengths of larvae were observed in water of the salinity of 3 ppt. The lowest survivability of sichel larvae occurred in water of the salinity 9 ppt, where it was only 53.2%. The survivability of larvae in freshwater and water of the salinity of 3 ppt was quite similar: 96.2% and 95.6% respectively. Water salinity degree of 12 and 15 ppt appeared to be lethal for both embryos and larvae of the sichel.

微藻饵料对紫海胆浮游幼体生长及存活影响的研究

文章采用湛江叉鞭金藻(Dicrateria zhanjiangensis)、纤细角毛藻(Chaetoceros gracilis)、绿色巴夫藻(Pavlova viridis)、扁藻(Platymonas subcordiformis)、小球藻(Chlorella vulgaris)及混合藻(金藻和角毛藻1∶1混合)投喂紫海胆(Anthocidaris crassispina),研究了微藻饵料对紫海胆浮游幼体生长发育的影响。结果表明,不同饵料对紫海胆浮游幼体生长发育的效果有差异,金藻是最佳饵料品种,角毛藻次之,其后分别为巴夫藻、小球藻和混合藻,扁藻不适于作为紫海胆浮游幼体的开口饵料。就饵料种类而言,金藻作为紫海胆浮游幼体饵料的成活率可达(23.12±1.8)%,显著高于其他单胞藻类(P<0.05)。就发育速度而言,以角毛藻和金藻混合喂食的海胆浮游幼体整体发育速度最快,幼体平均体长为(885.25±30.49)μm,显著高于其他5种处理(P<0.05);投喂巴夫藻的浮游幼体前期生长较慢,体长为(337.98±24.56)μm,后期较其他单胞藻类生长快,体长可达(580±32.95)μm,适宜作为紫海胆浮游幼体后期饵料。     

Effect of sediment on growth and survival of post-larval Litopenaeus stylirostris (Boone, 1931)

The sediments from four areas that are used or will be used for shrimp culture were evaluated for their effect on post‐larvae growth of Litopenaeus stylirostris. Texture, organic matter, total, and bio‐available fraction of phosphorus, manganese, iron, zinc, copper, and cadmium of the sediments were measured. A positive significant correlation was obtained between total and bio‐available concentrations of iron, cadmium, and manganese, but not for copper, phosphorus, or zinc. Significant differences in final weight, survival rates, and shrimp yield were obtained among treatments. The highest survival rates were obtained with sediments that had the highest manganese levels. This survival high rate was significantly correlated with total manganese content of the sediment (r=0.92). The highest final weight were obtained in treatments with sediments containing higher levels of phosphorus, which was reinforced by a significant positive correlation between final weight and total and bio‐available phosphorus (r=0.94 and 0.95 respectively), while final weight seems adversely affected by high concentrations of copper (r=?0.83) in the sediment. Texture of the sediment influenced shrimp yield, with lower values for sandy sediments relative to silty sediments.     

盐度对大菱鲆幼鱼生长和肌肉营养成分的影响

将平均体质量为(7.16±0.07)g的大菱鲆幼鱼分别饲养在不同盐度(12、18、24、30和36)的水体中60 d,以探讨盐度对幼鱼特定生长率、生长激素、成活率、摄食率、饲料效率和肌肉营养成分的影响。结果表明:大菱鲆幼鱼在盐度分别为18、24、30和36的水体中均生长良好,成活率为100%,特定生长率分别为1.97、1.87、1.87和2.00 %/d;在盐度为12的水体中,幼鱼的成活率和特定生长率均显著低于盐度30组(对照组)(P<0.05),分别为80.77%和1.45 %/d。生长激素为0.41～1.66 ng/mL时,盐度18和36组均显著高于盐度30组(P<0.05),而盐度12组显著低于盐度30组(P<0.05)。饲料效率为1.12%～1.38%时,盐度18、24和36组均显著高于盐度30组(P<0.05),而盐度12组显著低于盐度30组(P<0.05)。摄食率为1.19～1.28 %/d时,盐度12和24组均显著低于盐度30组(P<0.05),其它盐度组之间均无显著差异(P>0.05)。幼鱼特定生长率随血清生长激素和饲料效率的升高而增大,与盐度的相关性不显著。幼鱼肌肉中的粗蛋白质含量随水体盐度的升高而降低,除盐度12和18组之间无显著性差异外(P>0.05),其余各盐度组之间均存在显著性差异(P<0.05);盐度12组幼鱼肌肉中的粗脂肪低于其它盐度组,灰分显著高于其它盐度组(P<0.05),其余各盐度组之间粗脂肪和灰分均无显著性差异(P>0.05);各盐度组之间幼鱼肌肉中的水分均无显著性差异(P>0.05)。综上所述,适当降低盐度可改善大菱鲆幼鱼生长和肌肉品质,其适宜盐度为18。
