Mutualism between euryhaline tilapia Sarotherodon melanotheron heudelotii and Chlorella sp.—Implications for nano-algal production in warmwater phytoplankton-based recirculating systems

The West-African euryhaline tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron heudelotii shift from visually feeding on zooplankton when juveniles to mostly filter feeding on phytoplankton when adults. When reared using an appropriate ration in intensive aquaculture systems, S. m. heudelotii also consume algal-based detritus, and contribute to sediment mineralization, clean up their environment, and ultimately stimulate and sustain algal growth. We analysed such practical advantages for phytoplankton-based recirculating systems, using S. m. heudelotii and Chlorella sp. as biological material originating from the prototype of such a system operated in Senegal. We performed a 24-h factorial design experiment in 36 tubs, cross-classifying three levels of S. m. heudelotii (fishless control, unfed fish, and fed fish) with four levels of Chlorella initial density.Chlorella overall mean density increased significantly from fishless, to unfed fish, and fed fish treatments, and with Chlorella initial density. S. m. heudelotii did not alter nitrogen nor phosphorus concentrations, only affected by algal initial densities. Most ammonia excreted by fish was probably uptaken by Chlorella. Bacteria-mediated diurnal nitrification was possibly an alternative ammonium loss mechanism at highest oxygen concentrations. Algae were not limited by nitrogen or phosphorus but most likely by low dissolved organic carbon availability. Chlorella differential responses with fed vs. unfed Sarotherodon suggest that CO₂ supplied by heterotrophic S. m. heudelotii respiration played a key role. Observed Chlorella growth rates were similar to the highest rates obtained in algal mass cultures, enriched with CO₂, nitrate and phosphate, under artificial lighting.Our results suggest the existence of a Sarotherodon-Chlorella mutualism in our systems, where S. m. heudelotii provide CO₂, the major limiting factor of Chlorella growth, whereas Chlorella oxygenate and detoxify the water media from ammonia, promoting S. m. heudelotii production. This mutualism could be used to optimize photosynthetic suspended-growth aquaculture systems, particularly in the Tropics where light is abundant and temperature is continuously high.     

大黄蒽醌提取物对罗氏沼虾抗鳗弧菌感染的研究

将罗氏沼虾随机分成5组,每组三个平行,每个平行约1000尾(个体均重1g左右),第1组为对照组,投喂基础日粮,另外4组为试验组,在基础日粮中分别添加0.05%、0.1%、0.2%、0.4%大黄蒽醌提取物,饲养6周后对罗氏沼虾进行鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)感染.测定生长以及0、12、24、48h血清和肝胰腺溶菌酶、丙二醛(MDA)、总抗氧化能(T-AOC)以及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)等指标.生长试验表明,与对照组相比,0.1%组、0.4%组罗氏沼虾的增重率、特定生长率显著提高,饵料系数显著降低.攻毒试验Ⅰ表明,各组48h内罗氏沼虾血清溶菌酶活性、肝胰腺溶菌酶含量、血清T-AOC均呈先升高后降低趋势,其中它们的最大值分别出现于0.4%组的12h、0.2%组24h、0.1%组12h;肝胰腺SOD活力呈上升趋势,而血清MDA则一直下降.攻毒试验Ⅱ表明,大黄蒽醌提取物能有效地降低试验组罗氏沼虾的死亡率,提高免疫保护率,其中0.4%组的保护效果为最佳.因此,在饲料中添加大黄蒽醌提取物降低罗氏沼虾对病原的敏感性,增强机体抗病力,促进生长.     

珠江口海域双胞旋沟藻赤潮对卤虫幼体、鱼苗和虾苗的急性毒性

为研究2009年10月下旬在广东珠海海域爆发的双胞旋沟藻赤潮对养殖鱼类及水体中其它生物的影响,实验以卤虫幼体、金鼓鱼苗和凡纳滨对虾苗作为受试生物,在赤潮现场测试双胞旋沟藻对卤虫幼体、鱼苗和虾苗的急性毒性效应。结果显示,24 h双胞旋沟藻对卤虫幼体的LC₅₀(半致死浓度)为9.55×10⁴/mL,藻密度为2.5×10³/mL的双胞旋沟藻对卤虫幼体的LT₅₀(半致死时间)为48.5 h。60 h内该赤潮水体对鱼苗和虾苗的存活无不利影响,卤虫幼体和金鼓鱼苗均可摄食双胞旋沟藻,卤虫幼体对双胞旋沟藻的摄食率低。研究表明,双胞旋沟藻赤潮水体对卤虫幼体有一定的毒性作用,但在低藻密度条件下,卤虫幼体能以该藻为食并维持其生命,双胞旋沟藻对金鼓鱼苗和凡纳滨对虾苗无急性毒性作用。     

引起养殖许氏平鲉死亡的鳗利斯顿氏菌的分离鉴定及致病性

Evaluation of commercial live bakers’ yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a growth and immunity promoter for Fry Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.) challenged in situ with Aeromonas hydrophila

This study was carried out to evaluate the use of commercial live bakers’ yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a growth and immunity promoter for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.). Fish (0.33 g) were randomly distributed at 25 fish per 140-L aquarium and fed a diet containing 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0, or 5.0 g yeast/kg diet for 12 weeks. After the 12-week experimental period, fish of each treatment were challenged by pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila, which was given by interperitoneal (IP) injection and kept under observation for 10 days to record clinical signs and the daily mortality rate. The growth-promoting influences of bakers’ yeast were observed with fish and the optimum growth, feed utilization, and protein turn-over were obtained with 1.0–5.0 g yeast/kg diet. Also, yeast supplementation increased protein deposition in fish body. Biochemical parameters were improved in fish fed yeast up to 1.0 g/kg diet. Total fish mortality 10-days after IP injection with A. hydrophila and its count after incubation with fish serum decreased with the increase of yeast level in fish diets. However, the lowest fish mortality and bacterial counts were obtained in fish fed 5.0 g yeast/kg. These results indicate that bakers’ yeast supplement is promising as an alternative method to antibiotics for disease prevention in tilapia aquaculture, and the optimum level of live bakers’ yeast is about 1.0 g per kg diet.     

The risk of parasite transfer to juvenile fishes by live copepod food with the example Triaenophorus crassus and Triaenophorus nodulosus

Natural zooplankton is a potential food resource for juvenile fish in fish farms as it is a good source of fats, carbohydrates, and protein. However, it is also a potential source of parasites and pathogens. The present study was conducted (1) to estimate the risk of parasite transfer by live copepod food under intensive farming conditions using the parasites Triaenophorus crassus and Triaenophorus nodulosus as example and (2) to look for strategies to avoid parasite infestation of juvenile fish.An easy and routinely applicable aniline blue staining method was developed to check the infestation levels of copepods with procercoids during the on-growing season of juvenile fish. From the copepod species occurring in zooplankton Cyclops spp. was infested frequently (9.4 ± 12.0%, maximum 38.7%), Diaptomus spp. infrequently (1.5 ± 1.6%, maximum 3.2%), Daphnia spp. never. Juvenile grayling, Thymallus thymallus, and corgonids, Coregonus sp., which had been fed with natural zooplankton revealed infestations rates with T. crassus of circa 5%, with T. nodulosus of circa 10%. As the occurrence of procercoids in the zooplankton was temporary limited, Triaenophorus infestation can be avoided by using artificial food instead of live copepods during the risky season.To prevent parasite infestation of juvenile fish methods were investigated to eradicate procercoids from copepods by chemical treatment (sodium chloride, hydrogen peroxide, citric acid treatment) and by freeze-thawing methods. Chemical methods failed to remove procercoids. In fish, which had been fed with frozen thawed zooplankton, no Triaenophorus spp. infestation was observed. Their survival rates were similar as in the control fed with live zooplankton, however the weight of the fish was significantly lower.     

急性氨氮胁迫对黄颡鱼组织抗氧化酶活性及HSP70和HSP90基因mRNA表达水平的影响

为了探讨急性氨氮胁迫对黄颡鱼组织中抗氧化酶活性及HSP70和HSP90基因mRNA表达水平的影响,实验随机挑选了360尾黄颡鱼[初体质量(17.25±0.05)g],分别暴露于含有0(对照)、5.70(低浓度组)、28.50(中浓度组)和57.00(高浓度组)mg/L总氨氮浓度的水体中,进行96 h的急性胁迫实验。实验开始后,分别于0、12、24、48和96 h取样。结果显示,氨氮胁迫发生后,低、中浓度组实验鱼肝脏中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性呈先升高后降低趋势,而高浓度组则持续降低;低、中、高浓度组实验鱼肝脏中丙二醛(MDA)含量在胁迫开始后显著升高;3 h时,高浓度组实验鱼肝脏中SOD活性达到最低,而MDA含量最高;24 h后,高浓度组实验鱼肝脏中过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性显著升高;低、中、高浓度组实验鱼肝脏中HSP70基因的mRNA表达量呈先降低后升高趋势,而鳃中HSP70基因表达量持续升高,但脑中HSP70基因在0 h后显著降低;氨氮胁迫3 h时,低、中、高浓度组实验鱼肝脏和脑中HSP70基因表达量显著低于对照组,而在鳃中正好相反;相比HSP70基因,高氨氮浓度组实验鱼肝脏和鳃中HSP90基因的mRNA表达量在24 h时达到最高。研究表明,不同浓度的氨氮胁迫会对黄颡鱼抗氧化酶活性造成不同程度的抑制,原因与丙二醛的积累量有关;相比HSP90基因,黄颡鱼HSP70基因的表达量在氨氮胁迫发生后迅速上调,这种生理调控机制提示HSP70在应对急性氨氮胁迫时发挥着更重要的作用。     

杜仲对草鱼生长、肌肉品质和胶原蛋白基因表达的影响

为研究杜仲对草鱼生长性能、肌肉品质及胶原蛋白基因COL1A1和COL1A2表达的影响,实验采用初始体质量为(215.0±0.4)g的草鱼120尾,随机分为2处理组(每组3重复,每重复20尾鱼),分别饲喂基础饲料(对照组)和添加2%杜仲的实验饲料(杜仲组),养殖时间为8周。结果显示,与对照组相比,添加2%杜仲对草鱼生长性能无显著影响,但能显著增加肌肉、皮肤和肝脏胶原蛋白水平,增加肌肉总必需氨基酸(TEAA)、总氨基酸(TAA)水平。2%杜仲可显著降低草鱼肌肉的冷冻失水率、离心失水率,但对肌纤维密度和肌纤维直径无显著影响。在胶原蛋白基因表达方面,2%杜仲显著增加了第4周、8周时草鱼的肌肉、皮肤和第8周时的肝脏组织COL1A1、COL1A2基因m RNA表达量。研究表明,饲料中添加2%杜仲可改善大规格草鱼的肌肉品质。

吉富罗非鱼对饲料中维生素B1的需要量

采用维生素B1(VB1)含量为0.08(对照组)、0.57、1.13、2.09、4.11和8.09 mg/kg的6种纯化饲料,分别饲养初始体质量为(64.4±1.5)g的吉富罗非鱼12周,研究VB1对其生长性能、部分血清生化指标、肝脏VB1蓄积量及转酮醇酶基因表达量的影响,以确定其对饲料VB1的需要量.结果显示,随着饲料中VB1含量增加,吉富罗非鱼增重率先呈线性增加后趋于稳定,当饲料中VB1含量为1.13、2.09、4.11、8.09 mg/kg时增重率达最大.吉富罗非鱼肝脏VB1含量随着饲料VB1含量增加不断增大,当增加到2.09 mg/kg后趋于稳定.饲料中缺乏VB1显著提高血清丙酮酸含量(P＜0.05),但对全鱼水分、粗脂肪、粗蛋白、灰分无显著性影响(P＞0.05).饲料中添加VB1显著提高血清高密度脂蛋白胆固醇和肝脏转酮醇酶基因表达量(P＜0.05).饲料中VB1含量大于1.13 mg/kg各组的肝脏转酮醇酶活性显著高于VB1含量小于0.57 mg/kg组(P＜0.05).折线回归分析表明,吉富罗非鱼(64 ～325 g)获得最佳生长时对饲料VB1需要量为1.16 mg/kg;肝脏VB1蓄积量达到最大时,对VB1的需要量为2.06mg/kg.     

Mass production of Rhodopseudomonas palustris as diet for aquaculture

Three different types of anaerobic fermentations were used for the mass production of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris as diet for aquaculture. The optimum agitation speed and malate concentration were 300 r.p.m. and 0.2% in the modified MYC medium, respectively. In batch fermentations of R. palustris, the maximum number of viable cells was 1.1×10¹⁰ c.f.u. ml⁻¹ with 2.65 g l⁻¹ of DCW, and the maximum specific growth rate and biomass productivity were estimated to be 0.12 h⁻¹ and 55 mg l⁻¹ h⁻¹, respectively. Crude protein content of R. palustris was about 72–74%. The composition of stearic acid and oleic acid of R. palustris was superior to those of Chlorella and yeasts, while that of other fatty acids tested was not. The amino acid profiles of the protein hydrolysate compared favorably with Food Agricultural Organization (FAO) guidelines. The biomass productivities from fed-batch experiments were found to be 50, 47 and 49 mg l⁻¹ h⁻¹ for linear, exponential, and sigmoidal feeding strategy, respectively. The maximum biomass productivity was found to be 112 mg l⁻¹ h⁻¹ in chemostat. Compared to growth in batch cultures, continuous fermentation yielded two times higher biomass productivity.     

石磺钙调蛋白Os-IP3R和Os-RyR基因的克隆、相对表达量及进化关系

为明确石磺钙通道蛋白1,4,5-三磷酸肌醇受体（IP₃R）基因和蓝尼碱受体（RyR）基因的序列和结构信息,初步研究不同石磺中的Onchidium struma-IP₃R/Onchidium struma-RyR（Os-IP₃R/Os-RyR）基因表达量百分比与石磺系统进化的相关性,实验在瘤背石磺表皮转录组数据库的基础上,克隆得到2条钙通道蛋白基因Os-IP₃R和 Os-RyR,利用生物信息学技术对该基因及所编码蛋白的结构特征进行分析,并通过qRT-PCR技术分析2个基因在瘤背石磺、平疣桑椹石磺和紫色疣石磺各组织中的表达情况。结果显示,Os-IP₃R核酸序列为4 574 bp,包括2 808 bp的开放阅读框,共编码935个氨基酸,预测编码的蛋白有6个跨膜区;Os-RyR核酸序列为1 253 bp,包括1 131 bp的开放阅读框,共编码376个氨基酸,预测编码的蛋白有3个跨膜区。将瘤背石磺IP₃R和RyR的氨基酸序列进行比对,发现位于钙离子通道区的G*R*GGG*GD序列处高度保守;发现3种石磺Os-IP₃R/Os-RyR 的相对表达百分比的高低顺序与各石磺从陆地到浅海的梯度分布趋势相一致,依次为瘤背石磺>平疣桑椹石磺>紫色疣石磺;石磺的陆栖性越强,则Os-IP₃R/Os-RyR 的相对表达百分比越高。不同种石磺的Os-IP₃R/Os-RyR表达量百分比的研究能为分析海洋无脊椎动物由海洋向陆地进化学说提供新的分子生物学线索。     

低鱼粉饲料中添加牛磺酸对青鱼幼鱼生长、肠道修复及抗急性拥挤胁迫的影响

为研究低鱼粉饲料中添加牛磺酸对青鱼幼鱼[初始质量(5.90±0.03)g]生长、肠道修复及抗急性拥挤胁迫的影响,实验以青鱼正常鱼粉组(20%)为对照组,10%鱼粉组为负对照组(I_0组),在低鱼粉饲料中分别添加0.05%(I_(0.05)组)、0.1%(I_(0.1)组)、0.2%(I_(0.2)组)、0.4%(I_(0.4)组)牛磺酸,配制6种等氮等脂饲料,饲养8周。饲养实验结束后,参考生长结果,选择对照组、I_0组、I_(0.1)组、I_(0.4)组进行急性拥挤胁迫实验。结果显示:①与对照组相比,I_0组增重率显著下降,随着低鱼粉饲料中牛磺酸水平的升高,青鱼幼鱼增重率呈先上升后下降趋势,当牛磺酸添加量为0.1%时与对照组差异不显著;②相对于对照组,I_0组的绒毛高度降低、隐窝深度增加,杯状细胞数降低,添加牛磺酸使绒毛高度升高、隐窝深度降低,杯状细胞数和淋巴细胞数增多;③急性拥挤胁迫使青鱼幼鱼血清史质醇、血糖、血清溶菌酶(LSZ)、补体C3、超氧物歧化酶(SOD)和谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量均呈先升高后下降的趋势,其最大值出现在胁迫2 h或者8 h。在整个胁迫期间,I_0组史质醇和血糖含量高于其他各饲料组,I_0组溶菌酶、补体C3、SOD和GSH均低于其他各饲料组。研究表明,在低鱼粉饲料中添加牛磺酸可提高青鱼生长性能、改善肠道结构、增强青鱼的抗急性拥挤胁迫的能力。     

Molecular evidence for the lack of transmission of the monogenean Sparicotyle chrysophrii (Monogenea, Polyopisthocotylea) and isopod Ceratothoa oestroides (Crustacea, Cymothoidae) between wild bogue (Boops boops) and cage-reared sea bream (Sparus aurata) and sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

In the Mediterranean area, wild fish have often been suggested as either the reservoirs of the causative agents or at least the carriers of the pathogens responsible for disease outbreaks in cultured fish. However, no epidemiological investigations on actual pathogen/disease interactions between farmed and wild fish have been conducted even for the most important fish pathogens. Only sporadic isolations and identifications of various pathogens in wild fish have been done and real associations with the pathological conditions that exist within the farm environment and vice versa have not been established. Monogenean ectoparasite Sparicotyle chrysophrii and isopod Ceratothoa oestroides are commonly found in the Mediterranean cage-reared sea bream and sea bass and in the surrounding wild fish population. Both species were recognized as pathogens that seasonally inflict serious losses in fingerlings and juveniles of sea bream and sea bass, being potentially propagated and exchanged during wild and caged fish interaction. In order to evaluate the degree of pathogens transfer between wild and farmed fish, we investigated genetic population structures of these two important parasitic pathogens inferred by mtDNA cytochrome oxidase I locus. Parasites isolated from wild and farmed fish on the two most productive Adriatic fish farms showed genetic heterogeneity, contradicting widely accepted hypothesis of cross-contamination, at least in case of S. chrysophrii and C. oestroides. As far as we know, this is the first report that in a study of pathogen transfer molecular evidence was employed to asses the genetic population structure of shared parasites.     

豆粕替代鱼粉对牛蛙生长、体组成、消化酶活力及肝脏生化指标的影响

为减少牛蛙饲料鱼粉使用量以降低养殖成本,研究了豆粕替代饲料中不同比例的鱼粉对牛蛙的生长性能、体组成、肠道消化酶活力和肝脏生化指标的影响。用豆粕分别替代0%、20%、40%、60%、80%和100%的鱼粉配制出6种等氮等能的实验饲料,每组饲料设3重复,养殖牛蛙60 d。结果显示,豆粕替代鱼粉对牛蛙摄食率、成活率、肝体指数、脏体指数、蛙体水分和灰分含量、蛙腿肌肉组成以及肝脏丙二醛含量的影响不显著;豆粕100%替代鱼粉显著降低牛蛙增重率、特定生长率、饲料系数、蛋白质效率、蛋白质累积率;随豆粕替代鱼粉比例的提高,牛蛙的肥满度和后腿指数呈下降趋势,替代100%鱼粉显著降低牛蛙肥满度,替代60%鱼粉显著降低牛蛙后腿指数;替代80%鱼粉显著降低牛蛙全体粗蛋白的含量;牛蛙全体粗脂肪含量随替代鱼粉比例的提高呈上升的趋势,替代100%鱼粉组粗脂肪含量最高;随着替代比例的提高,牛蛙肠道蛋白酶的活力显著降低,而肠道淀粉酶和脂肪酶活力显著提高。豆粕替代鱼粉显著影响肝脏超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化氢酶活力,其中超氧化物歧化酶活力最低值出现在替代80%鱼粉组,过氧化氢酶活力最低值出现在替代100%鱼粉组。基于以上实验结果,建议牛蛙饲料中豆粕可替代鱼粉的比例为60%~80%。     

引起混养塘中异育银鲫和鲢发病死亡的病原及组织病理

混养的异育银鲫和鲢鱼种大批死亡,为明确发病死亡的病原和组织损伤并提供相关的疾病防控措施,进行了病鱼肉眼和显微镜检查、细菌学检测、病毒学检测、组织病理和药敏试验研究。结果发现,除在患病鱼体表偶然发现有少量不会引起充血等症状的杯体虫和车轮虫外,未在体内外发现其他寄生虫和真菌类病原;通过细菌分离、人工回感试验、生理生化特性和16S r RNA基因序列分析,从患病异育银鲫和鲢分离到的致病菌株均为嗜水气单胞菌;根据异育银鲫和鲢病毒性疾病的现状,使用鲤疱疹病毒2型(Cyprinid herpesvirus 2,Cy HV-2)DNA聚合酶基因的特异性引物分别对自然发病的异育银鲫和鲢进行PCR检测,只有异育银鲫检测到Cy HV-2,分别用它们的除菌组织上清液进行人工感染试验,只有异育银鲫出现充血症状和死亡现象;由此得出嗜水气单胞菌是异育银鲫和鲢发病死亡的主要病原,Cy HV-2是异育银鲫混合感染的次要病原。患病鲢与患病异育银鲫呈现出类似的组织病理现象,又有一些各自特有的组织病理表现,单纯细菌感染的鲢轻度病变以细胞颗粒变性为主,坏死细胞以核溶解为主,细菌和病毒混合感染的异育银鲫肝脏轻度病变以细胞滴状玻璃样变的变性为主,坏死组织细胞以核固缩和核碎裂为主,在肾脏和脾脏出现染色质边集于核膜的肿大细胞核,主要组织器官出现从变性到坏死的病理变化过程,最终失去应有的功能而死亡。依据药敏试验结果,建议内服诺氟沙星和氟苯尼考等抗生素防治本病的嗜水气单胞菌感染,混合感染Cy HV-2的异育银鲫可以通过注射Cy HV-2疫苗和生态养殖的方法控制和减少该病毒病感染和发展。     

致急性肝胰腺坏死病副溶血弧菌(VpAHPND)自然感染三疣梭子蟹

近年来包括急性肝胰腺坏死病(AHPND)在内的多种新发疫病的流行,使我国甲壳类养殖业遭受了严重的经济损失。为了筛查导致山东潍坊某养殖场中一虾蟹混养池塘内患病三疣梭子蟹感染的可能病原,本研究采用分子生物学检测方法,对三疣梭子蟹样品进行了白斑综合征病毒(WSSV)、传染性皮下及造血组织坏死病毒(IHHNV)、虾血细胞虹彩病毒(SHIV)、致急性肝胰腺坏死病副溶血孤菌(Vp_(AHPND))、虾肝肠胞虫(EHP)、偷死野田村病毒(CMNV)、黄头病毒(YHV)和肝胰腺细小病毒(HPV)等8种病原的检测,并对样品进行了组织病理和原位杂交分析。分子生物学检测结果显示,患病三疣梭子蟹样品呈Vp_(AHPND)阳性,而呈现WSSV、IHHNV、SHIV、EHP、CMNV、YHV和HPV阴性。对样品进行Vp_(AHPND)套式PCR第二轮扩增产物的序列测定、比对和进化树分析,结果显示,扩增产物序列与致病副溶血弧菌质粒上pirA~(vp)毒力基因片段具有99%的同源性,该序列与已报道的多个致病副溶血弧菌PirA聚在进化树的同一主分支上。组织病理学分析显示,患病三疣梭子蟹的肝胰腺小管上皮细胞坏死,心肌纤维呈溶解样病变,鳃丝上皮柱突细胞明显坏死,胸神经节的神经细胞损伤严重,并且这些组织中还可见大量的细胞核固缩现象;原位杂交结果显示,肝胰腺、心肌、鳃组织及胸神经节中的病变部位均存在Vp_(AHPND)探针的蓝紫色杂交信号。以上表明,虾蟹混养池塘中三疣梭子蟹在自然状态下感染了Vp_(AHPND),并导致肝胰腺、心肌、鳃和胸神经节发生了严重病理损伤。本研究首次在养殖三疣梭子蟹中检测到Vp_(AHPND)感染并揭示了感染所致的病理变化,相关结果为揭示Vp_(AHPND)自然宿主种类和养殖三疣梭子蟹病害防控提供了基础信息。     

Effects of dietary live yeast Debaryomyces hansenii on the immune and antioxidant system in juvenile leopard grouper Mycteroperca rosacea exposed to stress

This study investigated the effects of the dietary intake of live yeast Debaryomyces hansenii (CBS 8339) on the immune response of juvenile leopard groupers Mycteroperca rosacea and on their resistance to infection by dinoflagellates Amyloodinium ocellatum.During 4 weeks, juvenile groupers were fed either a diet supplemented with D. hansenii at 10⁶ cfu g^− 1 or a control diet. Both groups were then transferred to a system infected with A. ocellatum and maintained in this stressful environment, for one week. Rearing conditions were favorable to the proliferation of the dinoflagellate and, at 7 days post-infection, the cumulative mortality rate of the control group was 89.5%, suggesting that the yeast-enriched diet conferred protection against the parasite. Only fish with yeast-supplemented diet recovered from the A. ocellatum challenge.The immunological response of both groups of fish was evaluated. Samples were collected at weeks 4 (stressed fish) and 7 (recovering fish) to determine the levels of hemoglobin, plasmatic protein, and immunoglobulin M (IgM) as well as the activity of antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT). IgM increased significantly (P ≤ 0.05) in the recovering fish, which had all been fed the yeast diet. A significantly increase was also observed in superoxide dismutase activity in juvenile fish fed the yeast diet; however catalase activity was not affected by the dietary yeast supplement. Overall, fish that received the yeast supplement in their diet have an enhanced immune response as compared with their control counterparts. The present results show that a diet supplemented with D. hansenii stimulates the immune system of juvenile M. rosacea thus enhancing their resistance against A. ocellatum.     

The growth of disk abalone, Haliotis discus hannai at different culture densities in a pilot-scale recirculating aquaculture system with a baffled culture tank

The growth rate of disk abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, energy consumption and changes in water quality were monitored in a pilot-scale recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) for 155 days. Baffles were installed in the RAS culture tanks to enlarge the attachment area and clean out solid waste materials automatically by hydraulic force only. The experimental disk abalones, of shell length 24.5 ± 0.5 mm, were cultured at three stocking densities, 700, 1300 and 1910 individuals/m² bottom area, in triplicate. The abalones were fed with sea mustard, Undaria pinnatifida, once a week. The abalone feed conversion rates and daily growth rates ranged from 24.5 to 25.9 and 0.32 to 0.36%, respectively. Their daily shell increments and survival rates ranged from 67.7 to 78.6 μm/day and 87.6–92.2%, respectively. The growth in weight tended to decrease at a culture density of 1300 individuals/m² bottom area, while shell increments and survival rates were acceptable at this density. The total power consumption for heating was 1185.4 kW, comprising 30.2% of the total power consumption, while the average water exchange rate was only 2.9% per day. The total ammonia nitrogen stabilized below 0.07 mg/L, after conditioning of the biofilter. The NO₂⁻–N, NO₃⁻–N and total suspended solid concentrations were also maintained within acceptable ranges for the normal growth of disk abalone. The use of the RAS with these newly designed culture tanks for disk abalone culture produced 1300 individuals/m² bottom area with a water exchange rate of only 2.9% per day and used about one-tenth of the heat energy of a conventional flow-through system.     

珠江三角洲地区大口黑鲈池塘养殖系统的能值评估

为评价珠江三角洲地区大口黑鲈池塘养殖系统的生态经济性能,实验以能值理论为基础,定量分析该系统的能流和物流特点,通过建立能值评价指标体系,综合评估该系统的环境影响及可持续性。结果显示,大口黑鲈养殖系统投入的资源分为可更新资源(太阳能、风能、雨水能、地球循环能和河水能)和购买的外部资源(设施、苗种、电能、饵料、药品、劳动力、租金、维护费)两部分。养殖系统投入的总能值为4.51×10~(17)sej/(hm~2·a),其中可更新资源能值总和为1.24×10~(16) sej/(hm~2·a),占总投入能值的2.75%。河水能在可更新资源中所占比例最大,为9.77×10~(15) sej/(hm~2·a),占总投入能值的2.17%。购买的外部资源能值总和为4.38×10~(17) sej/(hm~2·a),占总投入能值的97.25%。饵料投入在购买的外部资源中所占比例最大,其能值为3.49×10~(17) sej/(hm~2·a),占总投入能值的77.33%,其次是劳动力,能值为2.29×10~(16) sej/(hm~2·a),占总投入能值的5.08%。大口黑鲈池塘养殖系统太阳能值转换率TR为2.18×106 sej/J,产出能值交换率EERY为2.028,能值产出率EYR为1.028,环境负载率ELR为35.39,能值持续性指数ESI为0.029,可持续性发展的能值指数EISD为0.059。大口黑鲈池塘养殖系统经济效益较高,但过多依赖购买的外部资源,对环境压力较大,可持续性较差。减少饵料投喂量、提高饵料利用率(如选择优质配合饲料及添加剂、改进投喂策略等)以及开展综合养殖是提高珠江三角洲地区大口黑鲈养殖系统持续性、减小环境负载率的有效途径。
