On the induced spawning and larval rearing of milkfish,Chanos chanos (Forskal)

A female milkfish, captured at sea, was injected with two hormonal injections of acetone-dried salmon pituitary powder and human chorionic gonadotropin, plus Vitamin B complex. It was stripped, and produced 128,000 ripe eggs with an average diameter of 1.15 mm. Fertilization rate was 38% following artificial fertilization with milt from an uninjected male. A total of 36,000 larvae hatched (74% of fertile eggs) after 26–32 h at 34 ‰ salinity and 27–32°C. The newly hatched larvae measured 3.4 mm in mean total length and possessed a large yolk sac. The mouth of the larvae opened about 54 h after hatching. The larvae were fed with fertilized oyster eggs, rotifers, copepods, brine shrimp, flour and prepared feed, together with Chlorella. A critical period was between the 4th and 6th days with mortality over 80%. The larvae started increasing in length by Day 8, and had the appearance of the wild fry by Day 11. On Day 13 a pigmentation pattern developed and the biggest larva measured 10.0 mm. By Day 18 the larvae measured 12.5 mm, and 14.5 mm by Day 21. A total of 2,859 fry was obtained; the highest larval survival rate obtained from different experimental groups was 46.8%.     

The induced spawning of the grey mullet, Mugil macrolepis (Aguas) Smith and the large-scale rearing of its larvae

The grey mullet, Mugil macrolepis (Aguas) Smith could be induced to spawn by the administration of pituitary alone from the same species. The threshold dose was found to be three and four glands as the first and second injections after a 6-h interval. About 40% of the experiments were successful. The hand-stripped eggs were artificially fertilized with milt by the dry method.The embryonic development of the eggs are briefly described. The majority of the fertilized eggs hatched out about 23 h after fertilization. The salinity of the water ranged from 29 to 31‰ and temperature from 26 to 29°C.A method for the large-scale rearing of mullet larvae is outlined. “Seasoned greenwater” is produced by keeping slightly manured brackish water for about a fortnight in small tanks which can be exposed to sunlight in the afternoon. Blooms of Chlorella sp. developed and the larvae fed on the microplankton. The larvae at about 1 cm in length fed exclusively on copepods. Hence copepod cultures were maintained simultaneously in manured cisterns for feeding the mullet larvae until they accepted artificial feeds.

盐度对杂交石斑鱼受精卵孵化和卵黄囊仔鱼形态及活力的影响

为了研究盐度对褐点石斑鱼(Epinephelus fuscoguttatus)♀×清水石斑鱼(Epinephelus polyphekadion)♂杂交后代(简称杂交石斑鱼)受精卵孵化、卵黄囊仔鱼形态及活力的影响,将杂交石斑鱼受精卵置于不同盐度水体中,观察盐度胁迫下卵径、油球径、孵化率及畸形率,以及孵化后卵黄囊仔鱼形态变化和活力状况。结果表明,在本研究条件下,受精卵卵径随盐度降低而增大,油球径不随盐度变化而变化。在盐度18~36范围内均能孵化仔鱼,但因盐度不同孵化率和初孵仔鱼畸形率有显著差异(P0.05);随盐度升高,孵化率呈先升后降的变化,初孵仔鱼畸形率则相反。盐度24~36组孵化后3 d仔鱼卵黄囊几乎完全消耗,组间无显著差异(P0.05)。在盐度24~36范围内,随着盐度的增加,仔鱼的不投饵存活系数(SAI值)呈先升后降的变化曲线;盐度30~33范围内,初孵仔鱼SAI值大于5;5日龄仔鱼全部死亡,半数死亡时间出现在孵化后3.5 d。综上分析表明,该杂交石斑鱼受精卵孵化及仔鱼培育的适宜盐度范围为24~36,最适盐度范围为30~33。

Induced maturation and development of pinfish eggs

Pelagic eggs of pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides), a common marine teleost found along the Atlantic coast of the southeastern United States, were induced to mature with mammalian gonadotropins and steroid hormones. The eggs were artificially fertilized and subsequent development of the eggs and yolk-sac larvae appeared normal. Yolk-sac larvae at 18°C utilized 50% of the yolk stores in 15 h, and of the oil droplet in 17.4 h.     

CULTURE TRIALS WITH ATLANTIC STURGEON,Acipenser oxyrhynchus,IN THE USA1

In South Carolina, a joint state-federal program was initiated in 1977 to develop spawning and rearing techniques for Atlantic sturgeon, Acipenser oxyrhynchus, and to investigate its culture potential. Good progress has been made in developing the hatchery technology. Brood stock collection sites and techniques have been established and suitable transportation and holding procedures demonstrated for these large fish (? 40–100 kg). Homospecific hypophyseal injections were employed successfully to induce two spawnings. The artificially fertilized eggs, incubated in MacDonald hatching jars, hatched in about 120 hours at 17–18°C. Yolk sac was abosrbed by day 10 and the fry were weaned on a diet consisting of beef liver and salmon mash supplemented with live Artemia. During the second trial, fish hatched at 7.8 mm mean total length obtained a size of 176.7 mm in 204 days. Several pond culture studies were undertaken with juvenile sturgeon. Although most fish eventually died (due to poor environmental conditions) some wild-caught juveniles were successfully maintained under pond conditions for about 20 months and one brood female survived for 15 months. Pond-held fish were fed trout chow supplemented with pieces of beef liver. Feeding activity could be observed at night along dike areas.     

Breeding of Penaeus monodon Fabricius in laboratory recirculation systems

From March to May 1978 over 2 million nauplii were hatched from 34 batches of eggs obtained from five Penaeus monodon females. Females of 50–63 mm carapace length, with one eyestalk removed, spawned viable eggs repeatedly within intermoult periods of 20–30 days indicating that one impregnation was sufficient to fertilize several batches of eggs spawned within one intermoult period. A fresh impregnation was necessary after each moult. The number of eggs per batch varied from 19 000 to 460 000 (mean 217 635) and did not decrease with successive batches. The mean hatch-rate was 30.5% and the mean number of nauplii per brood was 66 000. There was a tendency to a lower hatchrate for batches of eggs produced towards the end of an intermoult period. Samples of larvae from 15 broods were cultured to the post-larval stage at densities of 40–250 larvae/l. Mean survival in 3-1 cultures was 79% but was <13% in larger-scale trials.

Transmission of lymphocystis disease virus to cultured gilthead seabream,Sparus aurata L., larvae

The transmission of lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) to gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata L., larvae was investigated using fertilized eggs from a farm with previous reports of lymphocystis disease. LCDV genome was detected by PCR‐hybridization in blood samples from 17.5% of the asymptomatic gilthead seabream broodstock analysed. Using the same methodology, eggs spawned from these animals were LCDV positive, as well as larvae hatched from them. The presence of infective viral particles was confirmed by cytopathic effects development on SAF‐1 cells. Whole‐mount in situ hybridization (ISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed the presence of LCDV in the epidermis of larvae hatched from LCDV‐positive eggs. When fertilized eggs were disinfected with iodine, no viral DNA was detected either in eggs (analysed by PCR‐hybridization) or in larvae (PCR‐hybridization and ISH). These results suggest the vertical transmission of LCDV, the virus being transmitted on the egg surface. Larvae hatched from disinfected eggs remain LCDV negative during the endotrophic phase, as showed by PCR‐hybridization, ISH and IHC. After feeding on LCDV‐positive rotifers, viral antigens were observed in the digestive tract, which suggests that viral entry could be achieved via the alimentary canal, and that rotifers can act as a vector in LCDV transmission to gilthead seabream larvae.     

Larval Development and Rearing of Longtooth Grouper Epinephelus bruneus in Jeju Island, Korea

Eggs and sperm were obtained from a female (6.3 kg/BW) and a male (8.4 kg/BW) longtooth grouper Epinephelus bruneus following HCG injection in July 2003. The eggs were fertilized artMcially with the sperm and incubated in one of two 50-m³ tanks after washing the fertilized eggs. The fertilized eggs were 830–950 pn (average 900 ± 2 μm) in diameter and the respective fertilization and hatching rates were 97.7 ± 0.6% and 96.8 ± 0.5% at a water temperature of 25.0 ± 0.5 C. With this regime, the survival rate by day 93 was 7.5% in the 50-m³ tank. The elapsed time from hatching to opening the mouth was 3 d at 25 C. The initial mouth size (z) of the larvae was 0.22–0.23 mm. The newly hatched larvae were 2.02 ± 0.02 mm TL; this increased to 4.12 ± 0.09 mm TL by day 11. By day 54, the larvae had metamorphosed into juveniles and reached 41.12 ± 1.20 mm TL, and by day 93 the juveniles reached 93.78 ± 1.98 mm TL. In all, 49.5% of the larvae were malformed and the type of malformation was diverse.     

Development of embryos and larvae in the common Japanese conger Conger myriaster

Development of embryos and larvae in the common Japanese conger Conger myriaster was observed after artificial fertilization. Eggs were obtained from females matured artificially by hormone injections and milt was obtained from males matured naturally. Fertilized eggs were kept in seawater at 12–14°C. The first cleavage occurred at 4 h, epiboly began at 24 h, the embryonic body was formed at 38 h and hatching occurred at 84 h after insemination. Newly hatched larvae were approximately 2.5 mm (total length) and similar to those of Anguilla japonica in terms of external features. The mouth and anus opened on the 7th day after hatching. Pigments began to appear at the tip of the tail on the 10th day. The total length of the larvae reached approximately 8 mm on the 11th day. Eye pigmentation began on the 14th day. One larva lived for 19 days without food.

Development of an in vitro culture system for producing eel larvae from immature ovarian follicles in Japanese eel <Emphasis Type="Italic">Anguilla japonica</Emphasis>

To standardize conditions during the final maturation and ovulation of ovarian follicles from Japanese eel, we have developed a culture system for the production of fertilizable eggs from post-vitellogenic ovarian follicles in vitro. Post-vitellogenic ovarian follicles were incubated in culture medium supplemented with 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP) with or without bovine serum albumin (BSA) to assess the effects of protein concentration. Eggs that ovulated during incubation were fertilized, and the remaining follicles were incubated in prostaglandin F_2α (PGF_2α) for a further 3 or 6 h before fertilization. Male eels were injected repeatedly with human chorionic gonadotropin. The quality of eggs obtained under the different culture conditions was evaluated after artificial fertilization in terms of hatching success. Hatching rates tended to decrease with increasing concentrations of BSA in the incubation medium in a dose-dependent manner. The addition of PGF_2α drastically increased the number of eggs that ovulated, but the rate of hatching was greatly decreased compared with eggs obtained earlier by DHP incubation alone. The larvae obtained from artificially fertilized eggs produced in vitro survived for 14 days without feeding. We conclude that in vitro culture systems thus have a great potential for the acquisition of good quality eggs under tightly controlled artificial conditions, culminating in the production of eel larvae.
