三层刺网缩结系数的确定

正确选择刺网的缩结系数，是设计刺网的一个重要方面。缩结系数的大小，一方面影响到网片的利用面积，另一方面又影响到网线的张力。缩结系数大，网片利用面积大，但网线张力增加，其刺缠性能降低，直接影响到刺网的渔获效果。

根据食欲选择后备母猪/饲槽颜色及形状对断奶仔猪有影响/单独圈养或四只群养青年母猪生长性能及消化和代谢的反应/新的脲酶抑制因子NBPT对反刍家畜氮代谢的影响/给母鸡喂加碘饲料有利繁殖/检测母猪妊娠和空怀的新技术

在荷兰,一个重要协作试验的最初结果业已公布。它研究的是选择青年母猪作未来种畜所普遍采用的程序。研究结果表明,育种者假设生产性能测定期间青年母猪表现出的食欲和它们分娩后的饲料采食量之间有联系,是正确的。简单地说,在试验圈中食欲好的青年母猪,在她的第一个哺乳期内会采食大量的饲料。虽然这看起来很明显,但以前这种联系从未被证实,也未给选择方案的设计者提供必要的信息。遗传学家认为,这种联系有助于我们解释根据参数配种的母猪,进食量少则使用年限短的原因。

如何根据药物敏感试验结果选用渔用药物(中)

<正>5.样本因素目前,普通的水产养殖用微生物实验室进行致病菌培养仅限于对需氧非苛养菌的检测,而对于厌氧菌、L型细菌以及一些对氧或营养有特殊要求的致病菌,都是难以培养出来的。因此,如果导致水生动物的致病菌并非需氧非苛养菌而是苛养菌的话,就容易发生对致病菌的判断错误,导致药物敏感性测定结果与药物治疗效果无关的情况发生。二、正确运用药物敏感试验结果指导药物选择正确运用药物敏感试验结果指导药物选择,应考

Participation of local fishermen in scientific fisheries data collection: a case study from the Bangweulu Swamps, Zambia

The feasibility of participation by local fishermen in scientific fisheries data collection for stock assessment is described. Artisanal fishermen from the Bangweulu Swamps, Zambia, collected length-frequency data for 1 year from their catch using the main fishing methods employed in the swamps as well as experimental gears. It is shown that with this method, it is possible to obtain large quantities of reliable and relatively cheap length-frequency data that allow for a full length-based stock assessment, including cohort analysis. There are also indications that with a proper feedback of the findings by the research institutions to the fishing communities, this sampling method might enhance the awareness of exploitation patterns and the management consequences. This may be seen as a first step in preparing the communities to take up their role in a community-based approach in the management of the fish resources.     

Experimental evaluation of mass selection to improve red body colour in Fijian hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus × Oreochromis mossambicus)

Mass selection was trialed on Fijian hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus × Oreochromis mossambicus) to reduce the amount of black spots on otherwise red phenotypes. The responses of two selection intensities (low‐selection line, top 50% – L) and (high‐selection line, top 30% – H) were compared with that of a control line (no selection – C) across three generations. The relative growth performance of treatments (C, L and H) was examined in parallel in each generation to assess whether mass selection had a correlated negative effect on growth performance. The results show clearly that red phenotype can be improved significantly by applying mass selection, without affecting growth performance. We propose that black spots on an otherwise red phenotype could represent the allelic products of a second genetic locus influencing skin colour, which can be expressed in red individuals (genotype Rr) but which may be masked in black individuals (genotype rr).     

Intraspecific Differences in Physiological Efficiency of Juvenile Atlantic Halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus L.

We compared growth efficiency, feeding consumption, metabolism, excretion, and energy allocation in populations of juvenile Atlantic halibut from Norway, Iceland, and Canada reared at low (8 C), medium (12 C, 15 C) and high (18 C) experimental temperatures. Our findings show that protein utilization and energy allocation in juvenile Atlantic halibut varies among different populations, as the Norwegian population displayed the highest protein efficiency ratio, protein production value, and energy conversion efficiency compared to the Canadian population, while the Icelandic population showed overall intermediate growth performance. The results do not conform to a simple thermal adaptation model but might represent an example of: 1) local adaptation of fish populations; or 2) countergradient variation where shorter growing season at higher latitudes is compensated with higher physiological efficiency. These findings have implications for halibut culture, particularly in selection work focusing on growth performance.     

Diversified aeration facilities for effective aquaculture systems—a comprehensive review

The growing intensive aquaculture system around the world maintains a high stocking density, wherein it is essential to increase and sustain the optimum dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) through the provision of artificial aeration systems. The selection of an aerator is a crucial aspect of aquaculture operations. The selected aerator must be economically efficient and should be able to fulfill the requirement of oxygen supply in the pond water. The present study provides an extensive literature review on the importance of artificial aeration in aquaculture, the standard method of test for performance evaluation of an aerator, various aeration systems and their mechanisms, method to determine the numbers of aerator requirement, comparative studies of different type of aerators, and economic consideration in selection of aerators. In addition, a thorough analysis has been done to suggest the type of aerator that is economically viable and efficient for different pond volumes based on the performance data reported in the reviews. Therefore, this study may help the end-users (fish farmers) to select the best aerator based on their requirements.

     

Oxygen recharge and ammonia stripping capabilities of various closed culture configurations

A packed tower (trickling filter), empty, half full and full of a medium (styrofoam packing material) and a rotating biological contactor (RBC, rotating disc) were tested at various recirculating flow rates, with and without supplemental aeration, to determine oxygen recharge and ammonia stripping capabilities. Oxygen recharge capabilities increased with increasing flow rates, but at different rates for each filter. Oxygen recharge efficiencies decreased as flow rates increased in the half full and empty towers, were about constant for the full tower and increased in the RBC. Oxygen recharge capabilities were significantly increased with the addition of surface agitation; greater than the sum of the component contributions. With supplemental aeration, the full tower with a recirculation flow of 45·4 liters/min was most efficient and capable of supplying the most oxygen. Ammonia stripping was found to be insignificant in all systems tested.     

Change in habitat associations and geographic distribution of thorny skate (Amblyraja radiata) in the southern Gulf of St Lawrence: density‐dependent habitat selection or response to environmental change?

We describe changes in the habitat associations and geographic distribution of thorny skate during their feeding season in the southern Gulf of St Lawrence, based on 32 yr of monitoring by a bottom‐trawl survey. In the 1990s, geographic range contracted sharply and distribution shifted into a narrow band of warm deep waters. These changes appeared to reflect altered habitat selection by individual skates, rather than local depletion of the skates that had habitually occupied the vacated areas or a change in the timing of seasonal migrations. Changes in skate distribution coincided with a decline in skate biomass and a cooling of bottom waters. The contraction in the geographic range of skates appeared to be a density‐dependent response, more closely linked to the decline in skate abundance than to the change in environmental conditions. The cause of the shift in habitat associations is less certain. An index of the distribution shift was more strongly correlated with skate biomass than with an index of temperature conditions, and the change in temperature associations is in the direction predicted by density‐dependent bioenergetic considerations. However, the shift into deeper waters is into a depth zone where skate condition is relatively low, contrary to the expectation that fish should be concentrated in optimal habitat at low population size. On the other hand, while the shift into warm deep waters coincided with a cooling of waters at intermediate depths, distribution failed to shift back to the earlier pattern as these waters warmed in the late 1990s.     

Markers for selection of disease resistance in fish: a review

Aquaculture is the fastest growing food producing sector in the world. However, diseases result in a major loss in production. Among the several management techniques, selective breeding for resistant trait is one of the most reliable methods and provides long-term control over disease problems. Field survival or challenge survival records provide initial information of resistant stocks. However, selection programmes demand a proper marker which can identify the resistant stock easily with much accuracy. Several immunological indicators associated with resistance to a particular disease have been reported. These include positively correlated markers such as level of natural and specific antibody, respiratory burst activity of phagocytes and level of acute-phase ceruloplasmin protein and negatively correlated markers such as serum lysozyme, haemolytic and haemagglutination activities. However, for few fish species and pathogen-specific markers viz., myeloperoxidase activity, cortisol and glucose levels, macrophage aggregation and the level of plasma proteins, a confined conclusion of association has not been established. Besides immunological markers, molecular markers are in use because of their reliable screening methods. Genome can be scanned for molecular markers which provide the full linkage map of a species or stock. Association of these molecular markers with resistant traits gives rise to quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to a particular pathogen. Screening of resistant stock can be carried out using these markers. Among the several marker systems, amplified fragment length polymorphism, microsatellites and single-nucleotide polymorphism play a major role in the process of selection for disease resistance. With the use of these marker techniques, we can avoid challenge testing where a huge number of animals were being killed. Multiple trait selection can also be possible with multiple QTL identification for resistance to two or more diseases simultaneously.     

Fin cell cryopreservation and fish reconstruction by nuclear transfer stand as promising technologies for preservation of finfish genetic resources

Domestication is a long-term process during which wild fish are acclimated to farming conditions and hopefully are reproduced over several generations, possibly using selective breeding. Preservation of the genetic diversity of the original population, together with that of the ongoing selection steps, is important for ecological and economical purposes. Cryobanking of reproductive cells is one answer to meet this need. In fish, however, only sperm can be cryopreserved as neither oocytes nor embryos are capable of handling the freeze-thawing stress. In this review, we explore to what extent diploid cells obtained from fin pieces can be used for the preservation of both parental genomes. The main parameters, which should be under control to ensure proper production of fin cells in culture and to enable cryopreservation of the material are described. After cryobanking of such non-reproductive cells, fish can be reconstructed using the nuclear transfer technology whose potentials and difficulties are discussed. The gametes produced by the fish reconstructed after somatic cells nuclear transfer are different to some extent from the gametes obtained after the direct transplantation of primordial germ cell or spermatogonial germ cells into host embryos or larvae. However, in some cases, only somatic cells can be obtained in quantities which would be compatible with strain restoration purposes. From the knowledge available today, it is reasonable to expect that nuclear transfer becomes available for fish reconstruction, even if restricted to high-tech biotechnology facilities. Therefore, cryobanking of fin somatic cells can be farsightedly considered for high-throughput diploid genome conservation.
