莱州湾春季鱼类群落关键种的长期变化

关键种对生态系统结构和功能发挥了重要作用,其变化可以引起群落结构振荡和演替,导致生态系统功能紊乱乃至崩溃,因此,了解生态关键种的长期变化有助于解析整个生态系统演替过程。本研究基于莱州湾1959年、1982年、1993年、2003年和2015年春季(5月)底拖网渔业资源调查数据,构建了莱州湾春季鱼类群落食物网拓扑结构,分析了其关键种的长期变化。1959~2015年莱州湾鱼类食物网包含物种21~46个,摄食关系范围70~296个,食物网拓扑结构密度范围为0.155~0.300,种间关联度0.140~0.182,符合自然条件下群落种间摄食关系。1959~2015年莱州湾鱼类群落关键种如下:1959年为六丝矛尾虾虎鱼(Amblychaeturichthys hexanema)、花鲈(Lateolabrax japonicus)、蓝点马鲛(Scomberomorus niphonius)和黄(Lophius litulon),1982年为鳀(Engraulis japonicus)、黄和小黄鱼(Larimichthys polyactis),1993年为带鱼(Trichiurus lepturus)、鳀和蓝点马鲛,2003年为细纹狮子鱼(Liparis tanakae)、鳀和黄,2015年为细纹狮子鱼、大泷六线鱼(Hexagrammos otakii)和六丝矛尾虾虎鱼;关键种由经济价值较高的花鲈、小黄鱼和蓝点马鲛等演变为细纹狮子鱼、鳀和六丝矛尾虾虎鱼等经济价值较低的种类;同时,关键种的栖息环境也由中上层与底层生境(蓝点马鲛、花鲈、鳀等)演变为底层单一生境(细纹狮子鱼、大泷六线鱼和六丝矛尾虾虎鱼);关键种的这种更替导致食物网拓扑结构向简单化发展,在某种程度上也增加了鱼类群落结构脆弱性。     

Cellulase activity in meiobenthos in wetlands

To validate the involvement of meiobenthos in cellulose breakdown in wetlands, meiobenthos were collected from sediments of Lake Furen and the Biwase River in Hokkaido Prefecture, the Kako River in Hyogo Prefecture, and the Chinai River in Shiga Prefecture. Cellulase activities of the meiobenthos were measured by cellulose zymographic analysis using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gels containing 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose. The results showed that most of the Turbellaria, Nematoda, Harpacticoida, and Oligochaeta species exhibited cellulase activity. The molecular sizes of the cellulase-active bands of the sediments in Lake Furen, the Biwase River, and the Chinai River coincided with those of meiobenthos. The findings suggest that meiobenthos might play a major function in cellulose breakdown in these wetlands. This paper is the first to report cellulase activity in meiobenthos and that they are possibly involved in the breakdown of cellulose in wetlands.     

Innovation in small-scale aquaculture in Chile

In light of the current depletion of extractive marine resources and the sustainability issues that have arisen in the aquaculture industry, the small-scale aquaculture sector has emerged as a viable and sustainable alternative for generating income. To integrate the small-scale aquaculture sector into the food value chain, understanding the decision-making process to innovate becomes essential. This paper explores the factors underlying both innovation choices and intensity among small-scale aquaculture producers by utilizing exclusive census data from the small-scale aquaculture sector in Chile. The results indicate that education, secure property rights, internet access, participation in organizations, commercialization methods, government instruments, understanding of credit, and social learning promote innovation decisions. We also find that largest producers innovate in more areas, suggesting a role of size for both technological and non-technological innovations.

Examining changes in participation in recreational fisheries in England and Wales

Abstract Inland fisheries in England and Wales have high economic and social values. Managing participation to maximise fishery performance is key to maintaining this status. The capital value of fishing rights for migratory salmonid fisheries is €165 million. Coarse fisheries contribute €1030 million to the economy. The central tenet to increasing participation in recreational salmonid fisheries is that an increase in stock size will result in more anglers accessing the fishery. This was examined for salmon on the rivers Usk and Lune where exploitation restrictions increased the number of salmon available to anglers. On the River Lune, the number of salmon available post‐intervention increased by 66%. There was no significant increase in catch while the number of anglers decreased by 16.3%. On the River Usk, the closure of the net fishery potentially resulted in an additional ～1200 salmon being available. Following closure, there was no significant change in rod catch or in the number of anglers. Increased participation is dependent less upon stock manipulation for coarse fisheries and more upon facilitating the activity. In recent years, urban fishery development programmes have provided improved access to local fishing opportunity. Also, new anglers have been targeted through campaigns such as Get Hooked on Fishing and the Scout Angler Badge.     

Genetic variation in tilapia populations in man-made reservoirs in Sri Lanka

An electrophoretic analysis of six populations of Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters) and four populations of O. niloticus (L.) from several rivers and a fish hatchery in Sri Lanka was conducted to determine the degree of mixing within and between stocks. Genetic characterization of the O. mossambicus stocks showed that some degree of mixing with O. niloticus occurred in all but two of the populations examined, while in the case of the O. niloticus, all the populations had some degree of mixing of O. mossambicus alleles. Genetic identity calculated using Nei's coefficient gave values ranging from 0.9484 to 0.9895 for O. niloticus populations and 1.0 to 0.9940 for O. mossambicus populations, while interspecies comparisons ranged from 0.7531 to 0.9002. The implications of these results for fisheries management and aquaculture are discussed.     

Seasonal Changes in Water Quality in Commercial Channel Catfish Ponds in Mississippi

Selected water quality variables were measured at monthly intervals for 1 yr in 10 commercial channel catfish ponds in northwest Mississippi. Temporal changes in most variables appeared to be related to seasonal periodicity of phytoplankton abundance. Phytoplankton standing crops and total organic matter were highest in summer months when primary production was favored by warm water temperatures, high solar irradiance, and large inputs of nutrients resulting from high summer fish feed allowances. As day length, water temperature, and feed inputs decreased in autumn and winter, phytoplankton abundance and organic matter concentrations decreased. Seasonal changes in total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations were similar to phytoplankton abundance because much of the total nitrogen and phosphorus was contained within phytoplankton cells. Contrasting to the seasonal trend for total nitrogen, concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen were lowest in the summer and highest in the cooler months. Rapid assimilation by phytoplankton served to maintain relatively low concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen during the summer despite highest nitrogen loading rates during that period. Low water temperatures and generally less favorable conditions for phytoplankton growth decreased rates of nitrogen assimilation in the winter and ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate accumulated. Soluble reactive phosphorus concentrations were low throughout the year because physico-chemical processes, such as precipitation and adsorption to bottom muds acted to continually remove inorganic phosphorus from the water column.

Declines in chinook salmon catches in the Strait of Georgia in relation to shifts in the marine environment

Chinook, Oncurhynchus tshawytscha, catches in the Strait of Georgia increased in the 1970s and reached maximum levels from 1976 to 1978. Catches then declined until they stabilized through regulation at levels approximately one-quarter of the 1976 to 1978 levels. The timing of the decline in catch was synchronous with an increase in the mean temperature of the Strait of Georgia, a decline in annual Fraser River flows, and an abrupt decrease in the marine survival of hatchery-reared chinook released into the Strait of Georgia. Surprisingly, the number of young chinook salmon (smolts) more than doubled over the period of declining catches compared with the number produced during the period of high catches. The increase in smolt abundance was a consequence of the production from hatcheries that was approximately equal to wild production. We conclude that there was a change in the carrying capacity for chinook salmon in the Strait of Georgia in the late 1970s that contributed to the declines in abundance and that rebuilding stocks to the high abundance of the late 1970s is unlikely until the carrying capacity for chinook salmon changes either naturally or through manipulation. Although we did not separate density-dependent and density-independent effects on marine survival, the current total number of chinook smolts produced appears larger than required for the current marine carrying capacity.

Changes in laboratories in small animal practice

Economical considerations have led to a reduction of laboratory analysis. In particular, photometric examinations are rarely carried out in private practice because of its high level of personal labour intensive quality controls and the rapid decay of reagents. Nowadays, analyses are more and more carried out in commercial laboratories which can operate at considerably lower costs. Especially the loss of time until results can be obtained is an intolerable disadvantage which is particularly serious in emergency cases. Often too much time passes before an equivalent therapy can be started. Instead of the diagnosis in presence, i.e. direct sequence of anamnese, clinical investigation and laboratory diagnostic should be aimed at. The most common types of laboratory tests are instant semiquantitative methods with dry reagent strips for measuring blood sugar and urea. Very recently on the market are reflectance photometers which allow to determine blood parameters with dry chemical carriers. The systems Ektachem DT60, Reflotron and Seralyzer are presented. The use of this dry chemistry could reestablish the laboratory in the private small animal practice again.     

Leptin in fish: possible role in sexual maturation in male Atlantic salmon

Leptin plays an important role in energy homeostasis and reproductive function in mammals, while its function in fish is still poorly understood, especially its role in reproduction. In the present study, leptin gene expression and circulating leptin plasma levels were measured during sexual maturation in male Atlantic salmon parr. In maturing male salmon, higher hepatic leptin (lepa1) gene expression levels were observed during mid-spermatogenesis compared to immature fish. An upregulation of leptin during sexual maturation has also been observed in a few other teleost species. The physiological significance of elevated leptin levels during the maturational process in teleosts remains to be explored.     

海洲湾北部海域春季渔业资源的群落结构特征

根据2012年5月(春季)在海洲湾北部海域进行的渔业资源底拖网调查资料,分析了该海域渔业资源群落结构特征。结果表明,该海域共捕获渔业资源种类51种(鱼类33种、甲壳类14种、头足类4种),平均渔获量为24.59 kg/h。优势种类主要为尖海龙(Syngnathus acus)、方氏云鳚(Pholis fangi)和戴氏赤虾(Metapenaeopsis dalei)。渔业生物群落的种类丰度指数D在1.400–3.255之间,平均为2.471;多样性指数H′在0.492–2.309之间,平均为1.857;均匀度指数J′在0.182–0.713之间,平均为0.596。本次调查出现鱼类种数比20世纪80年代记载的鱼类150种大幅降低;甲壳类、头足类比相关调查显示甲壳类19种、头足类6种的结果也有所降低。主要经济鱼类个体质量和数量减少,小型低价值鱼类及戴氏赤虾逐渐成为优势种,且未发现经济鱼类带鱼(Trichiurus lepturus),这可能与过度捕捞或其他人为活动扰动有关。

Recent advances in lipid nutrition in fish larvae

Due to the importance of dietary lipid utilization for larval rearing success, increasing attention has been paid during the last years to different aspects of larval lipid nutrition such as digestion, absorption, transport and metabolism, which are frequently studied by different research groups. The present study reviews the published information on these aspects, including some recent results obtained in our laboratory, that contribute to a better understanding of larval lipid nutrition.Neutral lipase activity was found in the digesta of larval gilthead seabream as early as first feeding, followed by a significant increase which reached up 8 times the initial levels at day 15 and was clearly influenced by the fatty acid composition of dietary lipids. Accordingly, the capacity for lipid absorption by the intestinal epithelium has been also observed at the onset of exogenous feeding, although the specific location in the different digestive tract segments differ with species. Whereas the capacity to absorb lipid increases with development in live prey-fed larvae, this improvemment is delayed in larvae fed formulated diet. Increasing dietary phosphatidyl cholines levels enhanced lipid absorption regardless of whether it is of soybean or marine origin, but the latter improved hepatic lipid utilization. Enzymatic, histological and biochemical evidences suggest that marine fish larvae are able to effectively digest and absorb n-3 HUFA-rich triacylglycerols, but feeding with phosphoacylglycerols, particularly if they are rich in n-3 HUFA, would enhance phosphoacylglycerols digestion and specially lipid transport alowing a better n-3 HUFA incorporation into larval membrane lipids and promoting fish growth. Although the essentiality of n-3 HUFA for larval marine fish has been studied extensively, only recently has the importance of dietary arachidonic acid in the larvae of few species been recognised. Evidences for competitive interactions among these essential fatty acids suggest that besides a minimum dietary requirement for each essential fatty acid, their relative ratios must also be considered.

Biodiversity in aquatic systems in relation to aquaculture

This paper first considers the perception and dimensions of biodiversity. We suggest that biodiversity can be viewed as a biospatial, hierarchically distributed structure of variability among living organisms with five levels of complexity (and including agricultural systems). Loss of biodiversity, value of biodiversity and knowledge of aquatic biodiversity are reviewed briefly. Methods for measuring biodiversity, especially at the genetic level, are discussed and considerable emphasis is laid on effective population size as a controlling factor in biodiversity. Finally, a range of impacts of aquaculture upon biodiversity are considered, including competitive and introgressive effects from farmed stocks. The development and use of reversibly sterile strains is seen as highly beneficial to both aquaculture and the maintenance of biodiversity.
