切除单侧眼柄对中华绒螯蟹蜕壳、生长、成熟的影响

室内条件下,采用烫灼挤压法切除中华绒螯蟹的单侧眼柄,结果表明,对青春期蜕壳前的蟹,切除任意一侧眼柄,都能有效地促进蜕壳、生长及性腺的早期发育,但无助于诱导卵巢的成熟、产卵.试验还表明,切除单侧眼柄不会导致高死亡率,且对蟹的交配、怀卵、幼体的孵化培育无不良影响。     

Biochemical composition of pond-reared and lake-stocked Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis (H. Milne-Edwards) broodstock

The morphological characteristics, tissue indices, proximate and fatty acid compositions of hepatopancreas, gonad and muscle of pond‐reared (PR) and lake‐stocked (LS) Eriocheir sinensis broodstock were compared. Lake‐stocked crabs are characterized by a blue carapace, white abdomen, golden legs and yellow setae while PR crabs have a brown carapace, grey abdomen, black legs and similar yellow setae. The carapace length and width of PR crabs were significantly less than those of LS crabs of the same wet weight (WW). The results showed that the hepatosomatic index (HSI) of PR males was significantly higher, but the gonadosomatic index (GSI) was significantly lower for PR females when compared with LS individuals of the same sex. Regardless of their origin, the muscular index (MI) of males was higher than that of females. The hepatopancreas of LS crabs had higher protein levels and lower lipid levels compared with PR crabs. The results of proximate analysis of male gonads from two different sources were similar, while the protein level in the ovary of LS females was higher than that of PR females. The tissues of males had higher water content but lower lipid and protein levels compared with females regardless of their source. The LS crabs had higher highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) levels than PR crabs in their gonad and hepatopancreas. In conclusion, our results suggest that the nutritional quality of LS crabs is better than that of PR crabs, the nutritional quality of males is poorer than that of females. The reproductive performance and larval quality of crabs from these two rearing systems should be further verified.     

The effect of poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate on the performance of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis Milne‐Edwards) zoea larvae

Two experiments were conducted regarding the effect of poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate (PHB) on the survival and development of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis Milne‐Edwards) larvae. Different PHB delivery approaches (particulate, enriched in filter feeding prey, or a combination of both) and feeding levels were applied to crab larvae from the zoea 2 (Z2) up to the megalopa stage. Bio‐encapsulation into rotifers and Artemia at a PHB dose of 100 mg L^?1 seemed an efficient approach to deliver PHB to the larvae and resulted in a significantly enhanced survival, development rate and osmotic tolerance. The results indicate that PHB should only be applied as a feed additive rather than as a food source, and that the availability of an adequate amount of nutrients seems to be of major importance for the PHB to induce these beneficial effects.     

Effects of dietary phospholipids and highly unsaturated fatty acids on the precocity,survival, growth and hepatic lipid composition of juvenile Chinese mitten crab,Eriocheir sinensis (H. Milne‐Edwards)

Precocious puberty is one of the major constraints to the further development of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) farming industry. Although dietary phospholipids (PL) and highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) supplementation have been shown to enhance the growth of larval E. sinensis in other studies, it is still unknown whether this also leads to a higher precocity rate for juvenile E. sinensis. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary PL and HUFA on precocity, survival, growth and hepatic lipid composition of juvenile E. sinensis. Two diets were formulated with PL [3.95% dry weight (DW)] and HUFA (0.98% DW) supplementation (diet A) and without PL and HUFA supplementation (diet B) and fed to juvenile E. sinensis. Although dietary PL and HUFA levels did not significantly affect the survival and growth performance of juvenile E. sinensis, compared with crabs fed diet A, a higher precocity rate was found among juvenile E. sinensis fed diet B (P=0.051). A higher total lipid content, but significantly lower levels of HUFA and PL (P<0.05) were found in the hepatopancreas of crabs fed diet B than in those fed diet A. Meanwhile, the precocious females had significantly lower hepatosomatic index, arachidonic acid (20:4n‐6), eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n‐3) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n‐3) contents in their hepatopancreas when compared with that of the normal immature juveniles (P<0.05). The results suggest that the occurrence of precocious puberty among farmed juvenile E. sinensis could be reduced by the inclusion of appropriate level of dietary PL and HUFA.     

Effect of poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate on growth,enzyme activity and intestinal microbial community of Chinese mitten crab,Eriocheir sinensis (Milne‐Edwards) juveniles

Poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is microbial carbon and energy storage polymer, which can be degraded into water‐soluble β‐hydroxybutyric acid in the gastrointestinal tract of aquatic animals. A 60‐day culture experiment was performed using Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis (Milne‐Edwards) juveniles with an average initial body weight of 0.74 ± 0.06 g which were fed a diet supplemented with 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 3% or 5% PHB. A PHB dietary supplementation of 1% and 3% significantly improved the body weight gain, moulting frequency and concomitantly reduced 2nd–3rd moulting intervals of the crabs (P < 0.05). The dietary PHB level positively related to hepatopancreatic pepsin, trypsin and lipase activity (P < 0.05). Increasing the dietary PHB also improved total superoxide dismutase activity, but reduced alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase activity in the serum of hemolymph (P < 0.05). A 16S rRNA gene analysis by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis indicated that PHB supplementation led to a significantly higher range‐weighted richness, diversity and evenness of the gut bacterial community when dosed at 3% in the feed. The beneficial effects of PHB are discussed in terms of immune defense, metabolism and gut microbiota of the crabs.     

Kinetic analysis of oxytetracycline residues in Chinese mitten crab,Eriocheir sinensis,muscle following intramuscular administration

Crab culture is a very important economic industry in China. An epidemic of tremor disease of Chinese mitten crabs, Eriocheir sinensis, has become a serious problem in recent years. A spiroplasm has been proved to be the causative agent of this disease. Oxytetracycline (OTC) is used widely in aquaculture and was confirmed to be very effective against this pathogen. In this study, the distribution and depletion patterns of OTC in crab muscle were evaluated following single intramuscular doses of 2, 8 and 40 mg kg^?1 body weight. OTC was detected with a validated HPLC method. Concentration–time profiles were well described by a three‐compartment model with first‐order absorption after a single dose of 8 and 40 mg kg^?1. For comparison, a non‐compartment model was employed. A withdrawal time of 48.29 and 55.92 days was suggested prior to consumption after receiving 8 and 40 mg kg^?1. A recommended therapeutic dose of OTC in theory was calculated to be 36.37 mg kg^?1. OTC was distributed well throughout the body. The elimination of OTC in muscle was slower compared with fish and other crustaceans. A dose of 40 mg kg^?1 is suggested for practical use.

不同饵料对二次抱卵期间中华绒螯蟹生殖性能和HUFA组成的影响

中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)经一次受精便可多次产卵.与其他的虾类一样,在卵巢发育过程中,中华绒螯蟹的肝胰脏需从外界汲取许多能量和营养物质,通过血淋巴转移到卵巢以供胚胎发育和幼体孵化.亲蟹的营养需求可以通过第一次和第二次卵巢发育过程加以研究.第一次抱卵之后亲蟹消耗了大量的营养和能量物质,需要在二次抱卵前的短时间内得到及时补充.通常来说,二次抱卵蟹的产卵力低下,幼体质量差.因此研究饵料对二次抱卵期间中华绒螯蟹生殖性能和幼体质量的影响是很有意义的.本实验分4组,分别以3种天然饵料缢蛏(TC)、沙蚕(TS)、杂鱼(TT)和一种人工饵料(TA)投喂中华绒螯蟹亲蟹,投喂周期为2个月(从初始一次抱卵至二次抱卵结束).天然饵料和人工饵料的日投喂量分别为亲蟹体重的10%和1%～3%,每日下午4点投喂.用PVC板将8m2的玻璃纤维槽隔成4个单元作为试验槽.每个单元底面积为2m2,水深40 Cm.同一槽中的3个单元用做一个试验组的3个重复,每个重复为10只蟹.海水盐度为20 g·L,pH 8.20～8.30,溶解氧为8.40～8.90 mg·L-1,依据水中氨氮和亚硝酸氮的浓度(分别小于1 mg·L-1和0.2 mg·L-1),每2至3天换一次水,水温为15～17℃.实验结束后,对二次抱卵亲蟹的生殖性能(相对饱卵量、卵径和亲蟹成活率)、孵化出的幼体质量(蚤Ⅰ幼体在饥饿状态下的成活率)以及卵、卵巢和肝胰脏的脂肪酸组成进行了测定.结果表明,卵、卵巢和肝胰脏的高级不饱和脂肪酸(HUFA)组成与试验饵料的组成具有很好的相关性,其中卵的DHA与EPA水平、肝胰脏DHA水平与饵料中相应的HUFA水平成正相关(R2＞0.90),说明外界营养物质的吸收和转移对卵巢的二次发育相当重要.统计学分析表明,投喂杂鱼的亲蟹(TT)孵出的蚤Ⅰ幼体对饥饿的耐受力以及投喂缢蛏的亲蟹(TC)的卵径显著高于其他组,各组之间其他指标(相对抱卵量和成活率等)均无显著差异.二次抱卵的中华绒螯蟹的卵、卵巢和肝胰脏中HUFA的水平与试验饵料中HUFA水平具有很好的相关性,说明无论在第一次卵巢发育过程中积聚了多少营养物质,第一次抱卵后消耗殆尽的亲蟹需要从外界食物中汲取大量的能量和营养物质,通过肝胰脏转运到卵巢供二次发育之用.本研究结论与其他作者对其他甲壳类的研究结果是一致的.此外组织器官的HUFA水平不只局限于饵料HUFA水平,还受器官本身对这些脂肪酸特定需求的影响.肝胰脏作为甲壳类动物的脂肪存储器,在饵料中的脂类物质被吸收和利用之前首先将其存储起来.甲壳类动物具有合成更长链的脂肪酸能力,虽然这种能力很有限,但仍能重新合成一定数量的脂肪酸.由于卵巢和卵中的n-3 HUFA,尤其是EPA和DHA含量高于肝胰脏,因此有理由相信它们在中华绒螯蟹繁殖过程中起着非常重要的作用.用人工饵料投喂对中国对虾的研究表明,n-3 HUFA的水平与亲本的生殖性能有很大关系,其中EPA与产卵量有很大的关系,而DHA在胚胎发育早期和幼体孵化起着很大的作用.本实验结果可以推论,EPA和DHA对中华绒螯蟹的卵巢的发育和生殖性能具有相当重要的作用,其中EPA的作用更加明显.遗憾的是本实验没有得出非常明显的相关性结论.应该指出的是本实验所用的不同饵料,不但HUFA含量不同,而且在蛋白质、总脂和微量营养素(维他命、矿物质、胆固醇、磷脂、钙盐等)的组成上差异很大,因此不宜下确定的结论.

Isolation and partial characterization of a new reovirus in the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis H Milne Edwards

A second type of freshwater crab reovirus has been isolated from Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis H. Milne Edwards, in China; we named it E. sinensis reovirus (EsRV816). The negatively stained virion is a non‐enveloped icosahedral particle, 60 ± 5 nm in diameter. Its genome is composed of 10 dsRNA linear pieces exhibiting an electrophoretic pattern of 5/3/2. The largest segment (RNA‐1) was cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence, corresponding to the RdRp of the virus, showed 26% identity with the RdRp of Operophtera brumata (L.) cypovirus 19 in the genus Cypovirus and 24% identity with RdRp of Nilaparvata lugens (Stal) reovirus in the genus Fijivirus. On the basis of its ultrastructure and physicochemical properties, this virus is quite different from other crab reoviruses, and particularly with another freshwater crab reovirus EsRV905, recently classified in a new genus Cardoreovirus. This virus (EsRV816) possesses all the characters of the members of the reoviridae family and could represent a new genus.     

3种品系中华绒螯蟹扣蟹阶段池塘养殖性能比较

为探究不同品系中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)在扣蟹阶段的池塘养殖效果,于2020年在江苏东台进行了3个品系(2龄早熟品系、“长荡湖1号”A系和“长荡湖1号”B系)大眼幼体的池塘养殖试验,比较了各品系扣蟹的平均体质量变化情况、最终养殖性能、规格分布和经济效益。结果表明:(1)虽然3个品系大眼幼体在扣蟹阶段的平均体质量并无显著差异(P＞0.05),但各品系扣蟹平均体质量与亲本规格呈一定的正相关关系,总体上为“长荡湖1号”B系＞“长荡湖1号”A系＞2龄早熟品系;(2)正常扣蟹单位面积产量和扣蟹总产量与亲本规格呈正相关关系,即随着亲本规格的增大而显著增加(P<0.05);此外,“长荡湖1号”B系饲料系数(FCR)显著高于“长荡湖1号”A系(P<0.05);(3)3个品系扣蟹的体质量主要分布于6.0~7.9 g和8.0~9.9 g的规格区间内,其中2龄早熟品系在小规格区间(＜4.0 g和4.0~5.9 g)所占的比例较高,而“长荡湖1号”B系扣蟹在大规格区间(10.0~11.9 g和＞12.0 g)所占比例较高,但组间并无显著差异(P＞0.05);(4)各品系扣蟹的最终收益及投资回报率均随着亲本规格的增大而明显提高。综合来看,相对于2龄早熟品系,“长荡湖1号”A系和“长荡湖1号”B系在扣蟹养殖阶段具有产量高、投资回报率高等特点,市场应用和产业化前景较好。     

中华绒螯蟹感染“颤抖病”病毒后血清免疫因子的变化

对中华绒螯蟹进行颤抖病病毒悬液和PBS(对照)注射感染,研究其血清免疫因子抗菌活性(Ua)、溶菌活性(UL)、凝集活性(HA)、酚氧化酶(PO)、过氧化酶(POD)、超氧化物歧化酶(S0D)、酸性磷酸酶(ACP)、碱性磷酸酶(AKP)活性的变化,并对实验的结果进行统计学分析。结果表明,在中华绒螯蟹人工感染颤抖病病毒后,蟹体内的免疫因子发生了明显的变化,血清中Ua、UL活性先是降低,然后上升至高于正常值水平。P0活性先上升然后下降至低于正常值水平,POD、HA、SOD活性逐渐升高至显著水平;ACP及AKP活性则显著下降。     

中华绒螯蟹蜕壳过程中螯足肌肉组织学及主要蛋白质含量变化

为探讨中华绒鳌蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)蜕皮过程中肌肉生长机制,采用石蜡切片、电镜技术及生物化学方法,以中华绒鳌蟹幼蟹为对象,研究了其蜕壳过程中螯足闭螯肌肌肉的显微结构、超微结构及主要蛋白质含量的变化。结果显示,在蜕皮间期,螯足肌纤维充分伸展,多核,横截面呈不规则圆形或者多边形;肌原纤维排列有序,具有甲壳动物骨骼肌的典型特征,A带、I带及肌质网、二联体、线粒体等细胞器清晰可见。蜕皮前期,肌纤维降解以致其横截面大小不一;肌原纤维内部降解,出现腐蚀性空洞。蜕皮之后,在肌纤维末端的肌节处于超收缩状态,这些肌节长度缩短至正常长度的50%,肌纤维典型结构消失,A带、I带模糊不易区分,但肌质网、二联体、线粒体等结构仍然完整;肌纤维中间部分的肌节结构正常如蜕皮间期。生物化学研究发现,蜕皮前后螯足肌肉中肌原纤维蛋白和可溶性蛋白含量的变化同其结构特征的变化一致。本研究结果表明,中华绒螯蟹蜕皮后螯足肌肉可能的一种生长机制是通过增加新的肌节来伸长,动物刚蜕壳后,这些新形成的肌节以超收缩的形式存在,随着动物吸水身体膨大,外骨骼伸展、硬化,这些较短的肌节由于被拉伸而达到正常肌节的长度,从而完成肌肉的生长。     

不同品系中华绒螯蟹土池生态育苗效果比较

为评估不同品系中华绒螯蟹（Eriocheir sinensis）的繁殖性能和育苗效果,分别采用中华绒螯蟹二龄早熟品系（雌体≥150 g,雄体≥210 g）、“长荡湖1号”A系（雌体≥200 g,雄体≥310 g）、“长荡湖1号”B系（雌体≥250 g,雄体≥360 g）及超大规格品系（雌体≥300 g,雄体≥400 g）作为亲本进行土池生态育苗试验,比较了各品系的抱卵蟹获得率、亲本孵化率、育苗期间的投饵量、幼体变态速度以及大眼幼体产量等指标。试验结果显示：（1）各品系越冬后的抱卵蟹获得率随着亲本规格的增大而明显降低,抱卵蟹成功孵化率随着亲本规格的增大同样呈降低趋势,但组间差异不明显（P>0.05）。（2）各品系投饵量在幼体培育期间呈现先增后减的变化趋势,其中,溞Ⅴ期最高,日投饵量约为75 g/m²;与之相反,幼体蜕皮周期在幼体培育过程中呈现出先降后增的变化趋势,溞Ⅲ-Ⅳ期蜕皮周期最短,仅为5～6 d。（3）除了个别产量异常的池塘外,各品系单蟹产苗量及饵料系数均随着亲本规格的增大而提高,且各品系大眼幼体淡化率差异较小,均在90%左右。结果表明,虽然大规格品系在...     

中华绒螯蟹的摄食节律

为了探究中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)最适宜的投喂时间,本实验将120只初重约68 g的幼蟹随机分养在24个塑料缸(70 cm×40 cm×50 cm)中。采用一次饱食投喂(将昼夜分为8个时间点:10:00、13:00、16:00、19:00、22:00、01:00、04:00、07:00,每个时间段作为1个处理组,每天每个处理组饱食投喂1次)的方法研究中华绒螯蟹的昼夜摄食节律。结果显示,幼蟹在不同投喂时间点表现出24 h周期性的摄食节律,且总摄食高峰期在22:00。从其中6d的平均摄食量可以看出,河蟹主要在19:00~22:00时间段摄食;在肝胰腺酶活性方面,淀粉酶活性在19:00~22:00内高于其他各组,且在22:00获得最高值;脂肪酶、碱性磷酸酶和钠钾ATP酶酶活性有相似的变化趋势,在13:00~22:00时间段这些酶的酶活呈现上升的趋势,且最高值均在22:00获得。在相关摄食基因表达方面,肝胰腺中Leptin基因的相对表达量在22:00点显著低于13:00和16:00,与其他各组相比差异不显著(P0.05);肠道中胆囊收缩素(CCK)基因的相对表达量在22:00点显示出最低值,与10:00、13:00、04:00和07:00点相比差异显著(P0.05)。综上所述,中华绒螯蟹存在明显的摄食节律,这可能与光照紧密相关,最适宜的投喂时间为22:00。
