中国明对虾能量代谢与生长的关系

采用能量收支推算方法,计算了中国明对虾的呼吸能量消耗,并计算了中国明对虾摄食配合饵料后其生长的呼吸能消耗。不同规格的中国明对虾的呼吸能与增重的关系都可以用线性方程Re=r×G k很好地描述,所有规格对虾的呼吸能(Re)与增重(G)和体重(W)的复合关系可用方程Re=r×G b×Wc很好地拟合。不同大小中国明对虾摄食配合饲料时每增长1g湿重、1g干重、1g蛋白质、1kJ能量的呼吸能消耗相应范围分别为12.660～17.785kJ、21.600～31.292kJ、31.572～45.537kJ、1.089～1.453kJ。但中国明对虾摄食不同饵料后,单位体重增长的能耗在不同饵料投喂的对虾间存在显著差异,并且发现这些数值都明显比鱼类高。本文对表观特殊动力作用与生长的关系进行了探讨,并认为生长不是导致表观特殊动力作用出现的根本原因。     

Bioenergetics of cannibalism in juvenile barramundi Lates calcarifer (Bloch): exploring growth advantage of fish fed live prey and formulated diet

The present study investigated the growth performance of juvenile barramundi Lates calcarifer (Bloch) fed conspecific prey (CP), formulated diet (FD) and a mix of both (MIX) using a bioenergetics approach. Fish in the MIX treatment ingested significantly more CP than FD by dry mass. However, prey mass ingestion and cannibalism rate in the MIX treatment were significantly lower than in the CP treatment. This indicates that the provision of alternative food does not complete mitigate cannibalism, but it can significantly reduce cannibalism in barramundi. Fish in the FD treatment showed a significantly higher daily food intake than fish in the CP or MIX treatments. However, fish fed conspecifics showed significantly better feed conversion efficiencies, apparent digestibility rates and growth performances. Exclusive cannibalistic barramundi assimilated significantly more energy consumed, with 1.5% of energy lost in faeces comparing with 7.3% of siblings feeding exclusively on FD. Consequently, exclusive cannibals channelized more energy consumption into growth (57.1%) than those fed solely on FD (43.9%). Therefore, high energy allocation into growth promoted better feed conversion efficiency and growth performance of cannibalistic barramundi than siblings fed solely on FDs. This study implies that fast‐growing cannibals may continuously prey on slow‐growing conspecifics due to growth advantage through cannibalism. Therefore, size heterogeneity should be reduced at initial stocking and controlled as fish grow to avoid the emergence of new cannibals.     

Dietary protein/energy ratios for Atlantic salmon in relation to fish size: growth, feed utilization and slaughter quality

Four extruded diets differing in protein/fat concentrations, 378/389 g kg^?1, 425/346 g kg^?1, 480/308 g kg^?1 and 524/256 g kg^?1 were tested in a digestibility trial and a growth study. Apparent digestibility of protein and fat were not significantly different among the diets when tested in 1-kg Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., in sea water. The diets represented a range of digestible protein to digestible energy ratios (DP/DE ratios) of 14.1, 16.4, 18.8 and 21.9 g MJ^?1. The 138-day growth study was performed with triplicate groups of Atlantic salmon of 1.0 and 2.5 kg initial weight. Irrespective of size; growth, feed conversion ratio (FCR), nitrogen and energy retention were poorer in fish fed the diet with DP/DE ratio of 14.1 g MJ^?1 compared with the fish fed the other diets. A DP/DE ratio of 16.4 g MJ^?1 was sufficient to produce maximum growth for the large fish, while the DP/DE ratio of 18.8 g MJ^?1 produced the highest growth in the small fish. In the large fish, the lowest FCR was obtained on a DP/DE ratio of 16.4 g MJ^?1, while there was no clear difference in FCR within the small fish when diets of DP/DE ratios of 16.4–21.9 g MJ^?1 were fed. The carcass-to-body ratio in the small fish decreased with decreasing DP/DE ratios. The fish fed the diet of 21.9 g MJ^?1 had significantly lower fat and dry matter and higher protein content than fish of similar size fed the other diets. Increased dietary lipid content seemed to improve astaxanthin deposition in the small fish, while the large fish showed no significant differences in astaxanthin deposition due to dietary treatment. This study indicates that a DP/DE ratio of 14.1 g MJ^?1 in high-energy diets for Atlantic salmon in sea water is below the optimal DP/DE ratio for growth and feed utilization, and that the optimal DP/DE ratio decreases with increasing fish weight. DP/DE ratios around 19 g MJ^?1 for fish weighing 1 to 2.5 kg, and 16–17 g MJ^?1 for fish weighing 2.5 to 5 kg, are suggested to be optimal.     

Feeding and growth in captivity of the octopus Enteroctopus megalocyathus Gould, 1852

The effect of diet on the growth and survival in captivity of the octopus Enteroctopus megalocyathus Gould, 1852 was researched to establish culture potential. This is one of two commercially important octopus species that inhabit the Chilean coast. A positive energy budget, averaging 678 J day^?1 g of dry weight (dw), was recorded in specimens maintained in tanks and fed ad libitum on a diet of three species of crustacean decapods. On the other hand, the energy budget of octopus specimens fed on the mussel Mytilus chilensis (Hupé) was negative, averaging ?250.90 J day^?1 g dw^?1. Ingestion rates varied between diets (t=46.45; d.f.=18; P<0.001), but no variations were recorded in energy loss resulting from metabolism (t=0.67; d.f.=16; P>0.05) or ammonia excretion (t=1.39; d.f.=16; P>0.05). An average instantaneous growth rate (IGR) of between 1.96% and 0.49% was recorded in specimens fed on crustaceans, depending on the size of the octopus and the period of time. The IGR in specimens fed on mussels was ?0.32±0.05. The IGR of specimens fed on crustaceans and maintained in suspended systems was 1.36±0.9%. The mean mortality with crustacean and mussel diets was 11.07±5.5% and 74±1% respectively. The results indicate that E. megalocyathus can survive and grow in captivity, both in tanks and in suspended systems, when fed on a diet of crustaceans.     

投饲率对草鱼生长、体组成和能量收支的影响

为了建立草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idella)的精准投喂模型管理系统,研究了不同投喂水平下草鱼的能量收支。实验在水温(27.5±2.0)℃条件下,选用初始体重(71.03±1.13)g的草鱼,共设5个不同投饲水平(饥饿、1%鱼体重(1%BW)、2%BW、4%BW和饱食),研究摄食水平对草鱼生长、鱼体组分和能量收支的影响。结果显示:随投喂水平的增加,草鱼鱼体水分减少,粗蛋白含量、粗脂肪含量和能量增加,灰分含量先减少后增加。特定生长率和热积温生长系数均随投喂水平的增加先增加再降低,在5%鱼体重时达到最大,且高于饱食投喂组。饵料转化率(FE)在投喂水平为体重2%组最高,且显著高于其他各组。干物质和能量表观消化率随投喂水平的增加而显著增加,蛋白质表观消化率在投喂水平为体重2%组显著高于其他组。生长能比例随投喂水平的增加而显著增加,而在体重2%组到饱食组间均无显著性差异;代谢能与生长能相反。在最大投喂水平下的能量收支方程为:100 C=21.72 F+4.25 U+45.85R+28.18 G或100 A=61.94R+38.06G。结果表明,5%鱼体重的投喂量为草鱼此阶段的最佳投喂水平。     

The effect of light intensity on the growth of Brachymystax lenok (Pallas, 1773)

A 35‐day experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of light intensity on growth of Brachymystax lenok under different light intensities: 10, 70, 240 and 1000 lx. Fish(5.5 ± 0.24 g)used in the experiment were fed to satiation twice a day (08:00 hours, 14:00 hours).The photoperiod was 12L:12D (08:00–20:00 hours). The specific growth rate(SGR) of B. lenok under lower intensities(10 lx,70 lx)was significantly higher than the other groups(P < 0.05).No significant difference in feed intake was observed at different light intensities, but feed efficiency (FE) in wet weight at lower intensities (1070 lx) was higher than that at higher intensities(240,1000 lx) (P < 0.05).The final survival rate of juveniles varied from 86.33% to 93.66%,and there was no significant difference between experimental groups. The tested fish under higher light intensities (240 and 1000 lx) spent much more energy in respiration and excretion while depositing less energy for growth than those fish under lower light intensities. It is concluded that light intensity significantly affected growth and optimal light intensity for B. lenok juveniles was about 10–70 lx.     

Effects of light spectrum and intensity on growth,survival and physiology of leech (Whitmania pigra) larvae under the rearing conditions

Used as a traditional Chinese medicine, the high mortality rate and slow growth of Whitmania pigra larvae are the most serious bottlenecks for the scale development of artificial breeding. Firstly, five light colour treatments (white, blue, green, red and yellow) were tested to determine effects of light spectrum on the growth of larval W. pigra at the same intensity of 70.00 μmol m^?2 s^?1. The experiment lasted for 45 days. Under our experimental conditions, the weight gain (WG) and the specific growth rate (SGR) under blue light condition were significantly higher compared with the other treatments (P ≤ 0.05). It is reasonable to conclude that blue light can promote the leech growth. In addition, reared at five blue light intensity treatments (20.00 ± 3.84, 40.78 ± 4.18, 53.67 ± 5.98, 70.00 ± 7.26 and 87.33 ± 5.77 μmol m^?2 s^?1), the WG and SGR increased with increasing intensity. Meanwhile, they were significantly higher in the 70.00 and 87.33 μmol m^?2 s^?1 treatments (P ≤ 0.05). In the higher intensity light treatments, the digestive enzymes were higher and antioxidant enzymes were lower. These results suggest that the optimal light spectrum for the culture of W. pigra during the early life stage was blue and the optimal light intensity was higher light intensity (70.00–87.33 μmol m^?2 s^?1).     

The heat increment of feeding and heat loss relate to growth in Chinese shrimp, Fenneropenaeus chinensis (Osbeck 1765)

Three experiments were designed to investigate the heat increment of feeding (HiE) in Chinese shrimp, Fenneropenaeus chinensis . (1) Four groups of shrimp with different weight were fed at four rations to measure oxygen consumption in the following 24 h. (2) Four groups of shrimp with different weight were fed with four rations for 28 days. (3) Fish flesh, shrimp flesh, clam foot, polychaette worm, formulated diet and mixed diet were provided to six groups of shrimp for 30 days. The coefficient of heat increment of feeding ( C _HiE) values within 24 h after ingesting 1 g digestible protein (DP) and 1 kJ digestible energy (DE) were 18.57 kJ and 0.45. C _HiE values of 1 g DP and 1 kJ DE achieved in the second experiment were 25.06 kJ and 0.57. The energy cost of 1 g wet weight gain, 1 g protein gain and 1 kJ recovered energy were 13.94, 32.16 and 1.07 kJ. They accounted for 69.28%, 26.71% or 40.23% of HiE of the meals needed for these growths. The present results indicated that HiE was a fundamental property of the feed and the energy cost of growth accounted for different fraction when different feeds were ingested.     

Growth,osmoregulation and energy budget of rainbow and steelhead trout under different salinity acclimation methods and the best transition size of steelhead trout

In order to meet the demand of salmon market, Chinese scientists and entrepreneurs are working on salmon mariculture far offshore in the Yellow Sea, China. Rainbow, steelhead trout and Atlantic salmon were selected as the main culture species. The aims of the present study were as follows: (a) investigate the effect of the salinity acclimation method on the growth, osmoregulation and energy budget in two forms of Oncorhynchus mykiss, rainbow and steelhead trout and (b) explore the optimal size of steelhead trout for the seawater entry. In trial I, rainbow (mean = 99.44 g) and steelhead trout (mean = 99.01 g) were reared for 40 days after undergoing salinity acclimation at three rates: an abrupt increase in salinity from 0 to 30 g/L (T30); an abrupt increase in salinity to 14 g/L, followed by a daily increase of 2 g/L (T2) or 6 g/L (T6) until reaching 30 g/L; and no salinity exposure (control treatment) (T0). In trial II, steelhead trout with body weights of approximately 100 and 400 g were cultured for 60 days with two treatments, T0 and T2, and the specific growth rate (SGR) was calculated every 10 days. In trial I, in both kinds of fish, the optimal growth performance, survival rate, osmoregulation and energy budget were observed in the T0 treatment, followed by the T2 treatment. These results indicate that O. mykiss with a body weight of approximately 100 g can adapt to sea water with a gradual transition (T2), but they are still not suitable for the seawater entry because of low growth. Based on the recorded SGRs in trial II, our formulated regression formula revealed that approximately 200 g is the optimal size of steelhead trout for the transition to sea water.     

Effects of ration level on growth,nitrogenous excretion and energy budget of juvenile yellow catfish,Pelteobagrus fulvidraco (Richardson)

Growth, nitrogenous excretion and energy budget of juvenile yellow catfish, Pelteobagrus fulvidraco (initial body weight 1.17 ± 0.28 g) at various levels (50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% satiation per day) were investigated with feeding diet containing 40% protein. Specific growth rate of yellow catfish increased (2.79–3.34% day) significantly (P<0.05) with ration level (RL) increasing. Feed conversion efficiency, feed protein retention efficiency and feed energy retention efficiency increased with the increase in RL, peaked at 70% of satiation, and then decreased at higher ration, with the ranges of 78.97–97.28%, 31.31–37.93% and 26.55–31.88% respectively. Both nitrogenous excretion (u, mg g^?1 day^?1) and faecal production (f, mg g^?1 day^?1) increased significantly with the increased RL, and ranged between 0.94–1.38 and 0.69–1.24 mg g^?1 day^?1 respectively. Apparent digestibility coefficients in dry matter, protein, energy decreased significantly as ration increased, with ranges of 54.42–69.64%, 78.24–89.90% and 69.66–82.07% respectively. Energy budgets of juvenile yellow catfish at satiation RL was: 100C=30F+8U+33R+29G or 100A=54R+46G.     

Effect of prey type and size on the growth,survival and pigmentation of cod (Gadus morhua L.) larvae

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of natural zooplankton versus rotifers and the effect of prey size on the growth and survival of cod larvae. At 20 days post hatch (DPH) myotome height, standard length and dry mass were significantly higher in larvae fed zooplankton compared to those fed rotifers. The dry mass at age 25 DPH was 135 μg (±45), 331 μg (±114), 391 μg (±121) for larvae fed rotifers, small size and large size plankton, respectively. At 25 days post hatch, the survival rates were 41.8% (±10.5), 90.7% (±2.3) and 91.4% (±1.7) for larvae reared on rotifers, small size and large size plankton, respectively. The limited growth and survival of cod larvae reared on rotifers were not mainly caused by the small size of rotifers. Large differences in skin coloration between larvae in the rotifer group and the two zooplankton groups were observed, probably caused by the large difference in astaxanthin levels in rotifers and natural zooplankton. We suggest that the nutritional composition of rotifers is a limiting factor for cod larvae growth and survival.     

盐度胁迫及恢复对牙鲆幼鱼生长、能量分配和身体成分的影响

采用生物能量学方法对不同盐度对褐牙鲆幼鱼生长和补偿生长的影响进行了研究.研究结果表明,盐度12～40的范围对平均体重为2.6g的褐牙鲆幼鱼的湿重生长没有显著影响,而盐度5(IS5)和47(IS47)会明显阻碍平均体重为6.9g幼鱼的生长,但IS5的生长延缓在30d的恢复生长(盐度19,IS19)后获得完全补偿,而IS47处理最终未能赶上IS19处理.盐度操作对幼鱼摄食能、摄入的能量分配于呼吸消耗、排粪的比例均有显著影响,而对排泄损失的能量比例没有明显影响.对于单位体重日能量分配而言,盐度操作对摄食能、呼吸消耗、生长、排粪损失的能量有明显的影响,但对排泄能量损失没有显著影响.研究还发现,盐度操作对褐牙鲆幼鱼身体水分和蛋白质含量没有显著影响,但对脂肪和能量含量有一定影响.结果表明,盐度19左右为褐牙鲆幼鱼生长最适合的盐度,其对盐度的适应范围较广,特别是对低盐度表现出极强的耐受和适应能力.     

Assessment of the new generation aeration systems efficiency and water current flow rate,its relation to the cost economics at varying salinities for Penaeus vannamei culture

The selection of aerators and correct numbers can play an essential role in reducing the cost of production in aquaculture. The new generation aerators, namely spiral leaf, air‐jet, submersible and impeller, used in aquaculture, were assessed for its aeration efficiency and energy cost compared with the commonly used paddle wheel aerator. Of the aerators tested, the impeller had the highest aeration efficiency of 2.098 kg O₂/kW hr, followed by paddle wheel with 1.436 kg O₂/kW hr at 20‰ salinity. The spiral and air‐jet aerators had maximum aeration efficiency of 1.326 and 1.419 kg O₂/kW hr, respectively, at 35‰ salinity. The submersible aerator was not efficient as its maximum efficiency was 0.380 kg O₂/kW hr. The water flow by paddle wheel was 3 ft/sec and also provides better coverage than other types of aerators. The efficiency of aerators was high in optimum salinities (20‰ and 35‰) than the low or high saline condition. The average energy cost of shrimp pond aeration per hectare was lowest for impeller, followed by paddle wheel aerator. The study provided economic comparisons of vannamei culture using different aeration systems by keeping a uniform set of economic assumptions. Shrimp farms with impellors can give 14%–25% high returns across salinities, whereas spiral leaf can provide 5% high returns at 35‰ salinity. The combination of the type of aerators and the calculated use based on the salinity of the culture systems can result in energy‐saving and also a reduction in the production cost.     

Effects of dissolved oxygen concentration and stocking density on the growth,energy budget and body composition of juvenile Japanese flounder,Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck et Schlegel)

An energetic method was used to investigate the effects of stocking density and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration on the growth of juvenile Paralichthys olivaceus. Fish, with initial weights of 14±2.1 g, were exposed to a normal and a high DO of 5.5±0.5 and 14±2 mg L^?1, as well as four stocking densities per DO concentration (100, 200, 300 and 400 ind m^?2 for the normal DO and 200, 400, 600 and 800 ind m^?2 for the high DO). The feed efficiency (FE_W) decreased significantly with increasing stocking density and increased significantly with increasing DO concentration. The maximum weight was achieved at 400 ind m^?2 under a high DO depending on our rearing conditions. The stocking density and DO concentration change energy ingestion and its allocation for respiration, growth and excretion lost in nitrogen excretion, but do not affect the energy loss through faeces. The results of the body composition of fish indicated that the stocking density and DO concentration had no significant effects on the moisture, lipid content and gross energy, but are affected by the same. Energetic analysis demonstrated that high DO concentrations could alleviate the growth depression caused by high stocking densities, decrease energy loss in respiration and nitrogen excretion and increase the energy proportion allocated to growth.     

饲料中不同碳水化合物水平对刺参幼参生长和能量收支的影响

通过设置不同碳水化合物水平(25.61%,34.55%,45.31%,55.82%,66.09%),探讨对刺参幼参[体重(1.67±0.06)g]生长、饲料利用、体组成和能量收支的影响。实验周期为60 d,每组设3个重复,每个重复40头幼参。结果表明:(1)随着摄食碳水化合物水平的升高,特定生长率和饲料转化率均呈现先上升后下降的趋势。基于SGR和FCE的二次回归模型估算幼参碳水化合物的最适需求量为50.15%~53.95%;(2)蛋白质效率和摄食能在45.31%~66.09%碳水化合物水平组均显著高于25.61%~34.55%组,说明碳水化合物为幼参获得蛋白质节约效应提供了能量;(3)饲料中碳水化合物水平对幼参摄食率、排粪率和表观消化率均有显著性影响,适宜的碳水化合物水平会提高机体对营养物质的利用效率;(4)全参、体壁及消化道中粗脂肪含量均随摄食碳水化合物水平的升高而有所增加,表明摄食过量碳水化合物会造成幼参体组织脂肪的沉积;(5)在66.09%碳水化合物水平下,幼参生长能占摄食能的比例显著降低,粪能、排泄能及呼吸能占摄食能的比例有所升高,说明过高的碳水化合物水平会造成机体能量利用效率的降低。综上,适宜的碳水化合物水平可以促进幼参生长,提高饲料利用效率,而摄食过量碳水化合物会造成其体组织脂肪的沉积,并影响机体能量代谢水平。
