Six blastomere morphology parameters indicative of cell development abnormalities, egg diameter, dry weight, total lipid, lipid classes and fatty acids were determined for egg batches collected daily from three Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua) broodstock groups over the course of one spawning season. Egg batches were incubated to hatch and each morphological and biochemical parameter was tested as a predictor of hatching success. Five of the six blastomere morphology parameters were significantly positively correlated with each other. Correlation coefficients among several fatty acid parameters were also significant but correlation coefficients among the various lipid classes were mostly not significant. No significant correlations were found between blastomere morphology and lipid class or fatty acid parameters. Egg dry weight was negatively correlated with cell clarity, %docosahexanoic acid (DHA), DHA:eicosapentaenoic acid, and Σ polyunsaturated fatty acids. Fertilization success was not significantly correlated with any of the morphology or biochemistry parameters. Within‐population variability in several morphological and fatty acid parameters was related to elapsed time since onset of first spawning. However, the occurrence of such relationships with elapsed time was highly variable and inconsistent among the three broodstocks, typically being significant for only one or two broodstocks but not all three. Mean hatching success rates were high (>75%) in all three broodstocks but hatching success was not significantly related to any of the morphological or biochemical parameters nor to elapsed time from onset of first spawning. The implications of these results are discussed in terms of the utility of the various morphology and biochemistry parameters as measures of egg quality in marine finfish hatcheries. 相似文献

The effects of broodstock source (pond-reared and wildcaught from shallow waters) and prawn size (large—weight >120 g, and small-weight < 110 g) on ovarian maturation and reproductive success of Penueus monodon were evaluated. Large females underwent stage IV ovarian maturation and spawned with greater success than did small prawns. Both pond-reared and wildcaught females of the same size exhibited comparable maturation and spawning success. Large females rematured and spawned more frequently than small ones. Total eggs produced by large prawns was significantly greater than for small prawns; nevertheless, prawn source and size had no significant influence on amount of eggs spawned per spawning event. Egg quality varied greatly in terms of percent fertilization, hatch rate, and metamorphosis to first protozwa stage. 相似文献

Scylla serrata is a potential aquaculture species in Southern Africa. Information about its reproductive biology is required as a prerequisite to establishing hatchery technology. Adult female S. serrata were caught in the Umlalazi estuary on the subtropical east coast of South Africa and kept in captivity to observe and record spawning characteristics. Data collected included crab size and mass, time in captivity prior to spawning, fecundity per batch, relative fecundity, individual egg mass and size, size of zoea 1 larvae, incubation time, and hatch success rate. Of the 119 crabs kept in captivity 83% spawned in the maturation system– most within 40 d of capture. The crabs were highly fecund (mean relative fecundity per batch = 10,655 ± 4,069 eggs/g female) and the majority of the batches hatched within 288 h (12 d) at 27 C. Spawning in captivity occurred throughout the year, with a peak in late winter/early spring. This differs slightly from records of ovarian maturity stages of the crabs in the wild. A pattern of synchronous spawning was recorded where the females were observed to extrude their eggs in groups, commonly within 3 d of one another, separated by long periods of inactivity, suggesting an exogenous spawning cue. A total of 1,374,488 zoea larvae were obtained per kg of female per month. This means that if sufficient mature females can be caught from the wild, these could be used for stocking hatchery operations. The crabs were easy to maintain, mature, and spawn in captivity. This will facilitate future domestication which will eventually reduce the need for wild caught broodstock. The spawning characteristics of South African 5. serrata At in well with those observed for the genus throughout its distribution implying that ecological and fisheries management could be similar. 相似文献

Adult ayu Plecoglossus altivelis were sampled from the Nezugaseki River, Yamagata Prefecture to investigate the reproductive parameters and analyze their
variations related to multiple spawning. Ovarian histology (mainly based on the occurrence of postovulatory follicles) indicated
that female ayu can be divided into four groups, which are considered to correspond with unspawned, once spawned, twice spawned,
and three (or more) times spawned individuals. Comprehensive analysis of the ovarian state with field surveys revealed that
most of the female ayu achieve second spawning and that third spawning is very common in this river. Mean relative batch fecundity
(RBF) for the second, third, and fourth spawning indicated 69, 42, and 22%, respectively, of the value for the first spawning,
showing a decline with the number of spawning batches. Mean gonadosomatic index (GSI) values of non-ovulating fish showed
a similar decline during the main spawning period (October). Condition factor (without gonads) during autumn also decreased
with the number of batches spawned, suggesting that multiple spawning is achieved partly by transfer of body mass nutrients
to the ovary. Size dependency in reproductive parameters such as occurrence of the multiple spawning, RBF values, and GSI
values of the unspawned fish, was not evident except for GSI values in early September (generally during the early phases
of ovarian development), when larger fish had larger GSI. 相似文献

A 548 bp partial cDNA fragment of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD1) was obtained by RT-PCR from the ovary of Nile Tilapia. The expression of 17β-HSD1 was high from 0 to 11 days after spawning, but there was a sharp decline at the day of spawning (day 14) indicating its involvement in ovarian cycle. 相似文献

Abstract.— In order to monitor spawning success in earthen ponds, individual channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus broodfish were identified prior to stocking by genotype analysis with polymorphic microsatellite DNA markers. Individual spawns were collected and reared in a hatchery, and eight sac-fry per spawn were sampled for genotype analysis. Mendelian inheritance of microsatellite alleles was used to identify parents of each spawn. The probability of detecting a falsely matched offspring and spawning pair was >99%. Average spawning success was 44% (17–80%). Multiple spawning by males was found in seven of the eight ponds sampled. In these ponds, 47% of the males fertilized 2–6 egg masses over 1–8 wk, although most were 2–3 wk apart. Four different spawns were identified as two full-sib families and were probably due to interrupted spawning. Parent/offspring genotype analysis will be useful for production of half-sib families for estimation of genetic components of variation, estimation of effective breeding population, and selection of broodstock for multiple reproductive traits under natural spawning conditions. 相似文献

Abstract – A 2-year study of the threatened Australian grayling, Prototroctes mareana, was undertaken to investigate its reproductive strategy in relation to river flow. Monitoring of reproductive maturity in the Barwon River in south-eastern Australia indicated that no spawning occurred in the 2 years. In both years, ovarian involution was observed in a large proportion of the sampled population; flows during this period were less than the historical average. When coupled with the historical evidence, these observations suggest that spawning coincides with increased river discharge. River regulation may inhibit spawning. 相似文献

Despite management practices to achieve sustainability, commercial landings for Florida spiny lobster ( Panulirus argus) have experienced a drastic decline (57%) since 2000. This is cause for concern not only for economic reasons, but for issues of sustainability. An annual index of P. argus post‐larval (puerulus) abundance, estimated with a generalized linear model with significant mean sea‐level effects, shows a 36% decrease in annual puerulus supply since 1988. In addition, local Florida spawning stock biomass estimated from an age‐structured sequential population analysis decreased 57% since 1988. Puerulus abundance follows a highly correlated ( R = 0.76) trend with a 12‐month delayed spawning stock abundance, which supports the contention that the Florida spawning population is a significant contributing factor to post‐larval recruitment in Florida. Residuals about the puerulus on spawning stock abundance function follow closely an interannual North Atlantic Oscillation Index signal. This residual effect is thought of as a secondary regional population effect on Florida puerulus recruitment. The Florida spiny lobster stock is exploited with no fishing mortality controls due to the Pan Caribbean recruitment concept adopted in Florida spiny lobster management. Therefore, the potential of recruitment overfishing exists if fishing mortality controls to protect local spawning stock abundance, such as catch quotas, are not introduced. 相似文献

Seven high polymorphic microsatellite loci were used to determine the pedigrees in a mass spawning of Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, and to estimate the genetic variability between broodstock and offspring. Parental assignment was performed on a total of 155 individuals, including 141 offspring, 8 candidate mothers, and 6 candidate fathers. The assignment results of real offspring were generally in agreement with simulation with a success rate over 99% using only six of these loci. The allelic diversity and observed heterozygosity ( Ho) exhibited similarity between parents and offspring populations, but the expected heterozygosity ( He) had a significant decrease in offspring. Although all the males and females contributed to the next generation, the variances of reproductive success and unequal sex ratio resulted in a decline in effective population size ( Ne = 11.42). The inbreeding rate of this small‐scale, mass spawning population was estimated at approximately 16.5% per generation. This gave us an insight that when designing breeding programs based on mass spawning for future oyster cultivation generations, the higher inbreeding and lower effective population size should be considered. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Final oocyte maturation and ovulation of captive chub mackerel Scomber japonicus with fully yolk-accumulated oocytes were induced by a single injection of human chorionic gonadotropin. Reproductive parameters, including spawning frequency and batch fecundity, which are required to estimate spawning biomass in pelagic fish by the daily egg production method, were analyzed. Germinal vesicle migration (GVM) occurred at 18–24 h post-injection, and the hydration and ovulation of oocytes were completed at 30 and 36 h post-injection, respectively. The results of the maturation process suggest that fish with GVM-stage ovaries captured in the daytime from the field are capable of spawning on the night following their capture. The oocytes used in the oocyte size-frequency distribution method for batch fecundity estimates should be at late GVM and more advanced stages. The results of sequential artificial insemination showed that the quality of ovulated eggs held in the ovarian lumen rapidly deteriorated as time progressed after ovulation. This indicates that the fertilization window for the ovulated eggs of chub mackerel lasts only a few hours, and spawning behavior should be performed within a few hours after ovulation in the wild population. 相似文献

American shad Alosa supidissima broodstock were collected from the Susquehanna River during their spawning migration. Mean volume of expressible milt (± standard deviation) was 2.5 (±1.7) mL/kg body weight; mean spermatozoid count was 66.2 ± 10 9 (±163 ± 10 9) spermntozoa/mL; and duration of 50% motility was 36.5 (±10.3) see. Ovarian biopsies indicated the presence of oocytes of various sizes (200–2,000 μm in diameter) and stages of development. Fish were implanted with a delivery system loaded with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRHa) and started spawning 2 d after treatment. Fertile eggs were collected daily for the next 9 d, for a total of 50,100 eggs/kg body weight with a mean fertilization success of 62%. Upon cessation of spawning, the ovaries of all females still contained large numbers of oocytes at various stages of development, as at the beginning of the experiment, but with a greater number of atretic oacytes. Our observations show that American shad have an asynchronous ovarian development, and treatment with a GnRHa delivery system is effective in inducing several successive spawns of fertile eggs. 相似文献

The stock size of chub mackerel ( Scomber japonicus) in the East China Sea and the Japan/East Sea has shown a continuous decrease, with fluctuations, from 1975 to 1990. After a remarkable increase in 1992–96, the stock size fell to its lowest level in 1997–99. The spawning success (number of recruits/spawning biomass) fluctuates periodically with a period of several years, although there are no clear relationships between the spawning biomass and the number of recruits. Spawning success was inversely correlated with sea surface temperature (SST). On the contrary, the catch amount and the catch per unit effort (CPUE) of spotted mackerel ( Scomber australasicus) has increased since 1997. 相似文献

Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., is found throughout the North Atlantic, with thousands of rivers having spawning populations. In Greenland, spawning is limited to one river in West Greenland, the Kapisillit River (64?N), and the salmon are limited to the lower few kilometres of the system. Using mark–recapture, it was estimated the parr population was 5,953 individuals, and that the population size has declined by 52% since 1959. In spite of this decline, parr density remains high, being between 0.26 and 0.62 parr/m 2. Using a historical age‐length key, an estimated minimum of 635 smolt will have descended to the sea in 2017. These will be caught in a fishery currently subject to no regulatory measures and fishing remains the most likely driver of the population decline. The genetically distinct population is endemic to Greenland, and managers should implement measures to conserve this genetic integrity and local biodiversity. 相似文献

Blood and ovarian samples were collected at intervals of 4h prior to spawning time from medaka ( Oryzias latipes) that were maturationally synchronized with artificial photoperiod (14h light: 10h dark). Plasma estradiol-17β (E 2) levels increased rapidly from 16h before spawning and peaked at 8h before spawning. Follicle-enclosed oocytes (ovarian follicles) at different stages of development were isolated from the ovaries and used to study the in vitro effects of thyroid hormone (triiodothyronine; T 3) on pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (GTH)-induced E 2 production. GTH at a concentration of 100 IU/ml stimulated E 2 production by ovarian follicles collected between 32 and 16h before spawning. At 32h before spawning, T 3 (5 ng/ml) administered along with GTH (100 IU/ml) resulted in a 3.5 fold increase in E 2 production, compared with GTH administered alone. These results suggest that T 3 can act on ovarian follicles directly to modulate GTH-stimulated E 2 production in the medaka. 相似文献

The greasyback shrimp Metapenaeus ensis is widely distributed along the coast of India and the West Pacific where it is an important fisheries species. We have examined seasonal changes in ovarian development, spermatogenesis, and mating of Me. ensis in histological studies and by external observations on specimens collected in Ise Bay, its northernmost habitat. Ovaries were found to be previtellogenic from February to May, with the first signs of development being the accumulation of yolk in oocytes in late May. Ovarian shadow ratios were high during the period late July to mid-September. The formation of cortical rods in the peripheries of oocytes and germinal vesicle breakdown were observed in ovaries from late June to September. Male shrimps had sperm in the testes during the period early June to early October, and female shrimps had spermatophores in spermatheca after early July. In late July, some post-spawn female shrimps had exogenous vitellogenic oocytes in their ovaries, indicating that ovarian development had been repeated in preparation for the next spawning. Ovarian shadow ratios, which were positively correlated with gonadosomatic indices and ovarian development, seem to be a useful marker to determine ovarian development. Our results indicate that mating in Me. ensis started in early July and that the spawning season ranged from July to September with more than two cycles of spawning in Ise Bay. 相似文献

Low dam passage rates of adult Pacific lamprey ( Entosphenus tridentatus) during upstream spawning migration have been implicated in the species' steep decline in the interior Columbia River basin. In this 2000–2010 study, we used radiotelemetry to evaluate potential predictors of lamprey passage success at McNary Dam, located ~469 river kilometres (rkm) from the Pacific Ocean. The tagged population included 276 lampreys collected at McNary Dam and 53 collected at Bonneville Dam (rkm 235) that migrated to McNary Dam. McNary Dam passage efficiency was similar for the two samples, with multiyear estimates of 0.65 and 0.75, respectively. Larger‐bodied lampreys and those with earlier migration timing were more likely to return to McNary Dam after release, to pass the dam and to be detected upstream from McNary reservoir. Far more lampreys entered the upper Columbia River than the Snake River, suggesting that environmental cues (e.g., water discharge, temperature) or conspecific cues (e.g., pheromone concentrations) affect lamprey distribution above this large confluence. Overall, results indicate that Pacific lamprey passage success at barriers depends on a combination of individual lamprey traits plus seasonal and site‐specific effects on behaviour. 相似文献

Abstract – Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar) was once native to Lake Ontario, however, its numbers rapidly declined following colonisation by Europeans and the species was extirpated by 1896. Government agencies surrounding Lake Ontario are currently undertaking a variety of studies to assess the feasibility of reintroducing Atlantic salmon. We released hatchery‐reared adult Atlantic salmon into a Lake Ontario tributary to examine spawning interactions between this species and fall‐spawning exotic salmonids found in the same stream. Chinook salmon, coho salmon and brown trout were observed interacting with spawning Atlantic salmon in nearly one‐quarter of our observation bouts, with chinook salmon interacting most frequently. Whereas a previous investigation found that chinook salmon caused elevated agonistic behaviour and general activity by spawning Atlantic salmon, the present study found that interspecific courtship was the most common form of exotic interaction with spawning Atlantic salmon. In particular, we observed precocial male Chinook salmon courting female Atlantic salmon and defending the female against approach by male Atlantic salmon. We discuss the potential implications of these interactions on the Lake Ontario Atlantic salmon reintroduction programme. 相似文献

Fidelity to spawning habitats can maximise reproductive success of fish by synchronising movements to sites of previous recruitment. To determine the role of reproductive fidelity in structuring walleye Sander vitreus populations in the Laurentian Great Lakes, we used acoustic telemetry combined with Cormack–Jolly–Seber capture–recapture models to estimate spawning site fidelity and apparent annual survival for the Tittabawassee River in Lake Huron and Maumee River in Lake Erie. Walleye in spawning condition were tagged from the Tittabawassee River in Lake Huron and Maumee River in Lake Erie in 2011–2012. Site fidelity and apparent annual survival were estimated from return of individuals to the stream where tagged. Site fidelity estimates were higher in the Tittabawassee River (95%) than the Maumee River (70%) and were not related to sex or fish length at tagging. Apparent annual survival of walleye tagged in the Tittabawassee did not differ among spawning seasons but was higher for female than male walleye and decreased linearly as fish length increased. Apparent annual survival of walleye tagged in the Maumee River did not differ among spawning seasons but was higher for female walleye than male walleye and increased linearly as fish length increased. Greater fidelity of walleye tagged in the Tittabawassee River than walleye tagged in the Maumee River may be related to the close proximity to the Maumee River of other spawning aggregations and multiple spawning sites in Lake Erie. As spawning site fidelity increases, management actions to conserve population structure require an increasing focus on individual stocks. 相似文献
